Mr. DEARTH of Dexter: Mr.. Speak
err. trust that the motion of the gem
tleman from Portland (Mr Allan) as
amended by the gentleman from Port
land. Mr.. Baxter, will prevail. 1 see
nothing in this movement except de-
lay. AS has been stated here. this
matter has been discussed so long, so
fully ana so &C implicitly that there cam
not he man i'll this House, no mat
ter what party he belongs to, but what
knows how he wants to vote on this
resolve. Then, why is there reason for
delay? We are here for business. l
would be the last one to raise my voice
in favor of any movement to deny a
man hearing or proper time to con-
slider the subject matter of anything
before this House, but when / am con-
WINGED that such movement has
merit in it, then I raise my voice in
favor of such a movement. My Brother
Murray of Bangor, for whom l have
the highest regard, advances here a
reason why this matter should be
postponed, that IS because he has got
to be engaged in court in Bangor. Now
Brother Gurpey of Portland has eX-
planned what'the invariable rule Is in
such matters, because the court will
never insist upon an attorney attend
ing to matters in court when it is
necessary for him to be in the Capitol

tive or senator / am reminded by the

Mr. HUTCHINS of Mexico: Mr..
Speaker many Of us have terms of

He drew them very close together,

held them there for a moment, roughly.
Seffy stole a glance at Sally. He
wanted to see how she was taking his
fathers odiously intimate suggestion.
But it happened that Sally wanted to
see how he was taking it. She laughed
with the frankest of Joy as their eyes
met.

coquette. "And you ought to know

The bid came from behind him, and
the voice was beautiful TO hear. A
CLEAN came into the old mans eyes
as he heard it. He deliberately put
the watch back in its pocket, put on
bis spectacles, and turned, as if she
were a stranger.
"Gone" he announced then. who's

II was the girl Of whom he had spoken
accurately as prize. Her sleeves
were turned up as far as they would go,
revealing some soft lace-trimmed white
ness, and there Dds flour on her arms.
Some patches Of it on her face gave
petal-like effect to her otherwise ag-
gressive color The pretty dress was
pinned far enough back to reveal the
prettier petticoat-plus pair of trinity
clad ankles.
Perhaps these were neither the gar
ments nor the airs in which every
farmer-maiden did her baking. But
then, Sally was no ordinary farmer
maiden She was all this, it is true,
but she was, besides, grace and color
and charm itself And if she chose to
bake in such attire-or, even, if she
chose to pretend to do so, where was
the churl to say her nay, even though
the flour was part Of deliberate
make up"7 Certainly he was not
at the store that summer morn
ing.
And Seffy was there. Her hair
escaped redness by only little. But
that little was just the difference be-
tween ugliness and beauty. For,
whether Sally we're beautiful or not
about which we might contend a bit
her hair was, and perhaps that is the
reason why it was nearly always I'M
covered-or, possibly, again, because
it was so much uncovered was the
reason it was beautiful. II seemed to
catch some of the glory Of. the sun.
Her face had few freckles and her
mouth was trifle too large. But,
in il were splendid teeth.
In short, by the magic OF brilliant
color and natural grace she narrowly
escaped being extremely handsome
in the way Of sunburned peach, or a
maiden's-blush apple. And even il
you should think she were not hand
some, you would admit that there was
an indescribable rustic charm about
her. She was like the aroma Of the
hay-fields or the woods, or field of
daisies, or dandelions
The girl, laughing, surrendered the
money and the old man, taking an
arm of each, marched them peremp-
torily away.
