Wasbington May 10-The long
 deadlock of senate and h u~e con.
 ferees on the selectiye draft military
 bill was broken today with agreement
 on compromise measure under which great war army would be raised by selectiye conscription of men betW cen
 the ages of 21 and 3l
 Authorization for recruiting Colonel
 Ro5sevelt's proposed volunteer diyi.
 sion for service n France written Into
 the bill by the ~enate and defended |stubbornly by the senate conferees. finally was thrown out on the insist lance of committeeman representing i the house. In return tho house yielded to the senates proposal for prohibi tion at military pests.
 The conference report is expected to receive approval of both eenate and house in few days, and within two weeks after the president has affixed his signature. registration of those eligible for conscription will be un. derway throughout the country. Some states already have selected their registration boards and the war de- partment has erected a vast and in- tricate war machine for assigning and organizing the conscripts. They will be assembled at training camps in September. The compromise bill is understood to be generally satiefac- tory to the administration and to the army general staff. on whose advice the original measure was framed The most important change made in con. gress was in the age limits. fixed by the staff at l9 and g inclusive. The senate made them q and 27 and the house 2l and 40. The ages named in the conference agreement are 2l and 20, inclusive, making the draft ap. plicable to all male voters under &l.
 Although there has been no direct authoritative statement from the white house regarding the Roosevelt proposal administration opposition 10 it has been inferred from the fact that nU provision for volunteers Wa contained in the ball as sent tO cen gress from the war department. With the Roosevelt proposal the conferees also through out a senate amendment. under which three regiments of vol unteers could have been enlisted for service on the Mexican border.
 The section dealing with exemptions from draft was rewritten in part by the conference committee aud pro. vision was made for hearings in ex- emption applications before local civil tribunals with the right of appeal to a second tribunal and finally to the president
 Two of the h-use conferees refused to sign the conference report. Rep. reseutatiNe Anthony of Kansas would not accept it because the Roosevelt was stricken out Repre- sentative Kahn of California would not agree to the prohibition amend ment intending that <. reflected on the moral standards cf the nation. and that reeulatOry provisions should left 10 the president
 Republicans in the senate who have favored giving Colonel Roosevelt au. thority to rai.e and take American troops 10 France declared tonight that an effort would be made on the floor to have the senate insist on the reteu- tiOn of this feature. Another vote on the proposal als1 may be forced in the b-use. which once has rejected it. The general expectation. however. is that the conference decision will prevail.

places when you were served lobster
at such a price.
The meal slowly dragged to an
end. Helen was very quiet, and War

What's the matter? Aren't you
hungry? You're not eating anything.
Il wasn't as hungry as you, DEAR
Helen explained.
You don't like the place, do you?"
Not much" she admitted.
We'll, cheer up, and be a good
sport. We won't come here again.
But don't you think things were
good?"
"Oh, yes; but that's ALL"
Warren had the good grace not
to be angry at Helens lack of en-
thusiasm. He had eaten a hearty
meal, and felt in a good humor.
Some noisy cabaret had started and
Warren sat back in his chair to
enjoy it to the full. Several Ha-

girl who danced. She was rather
sweet and showed quite extraordi-

must have partly betrayed my yearn-
ing to her, for l saw an expression
of confused question come into her
eyes that looked into mine; then the
beautiful thing that had come into
my Mr.. Buzz Clendenning's eyes for
me came also into hers in place of
the question. / saw then in those eyes
a sister born to the boy Robert Car
ruthers of a great French strange
ness.
i've been thinking about you all
morning, Mr.. Carruthers, and hoping
Buzz would bring you with him to
see me first of all. wanted to be the
first one of the girls to say, Welcome
home to you" And as she spoke
those words of much tenderness
again bent over her hand in saluta-
ton. because I could give forth no
words from my throat.
Sue, you are the real sweet thing
and now notice me bit, will
you?" said my fine Mr.. Buzz Glen
denning with both emotion and a
teasing in his voice. Il know l
haven't got French manners and
don't look like L'Aiglon, but I'm an
affectionate rough jewel"
Please don't mind Buzz, Mr.. Car
ruthers-he just can't help buzzing."

I made into her laughing eyes.
That will do, Robert. You don't
know how spoiled Susan is, and
you're making trouble for me. Be-
sides, you haven't seen the baby
Belle in war paint yet. Let's go call
on her now" And that Mr.. Buzz
Clendenning was in a moment ready
for making more new friends for me.
Come on, Susan, we can tie Prince
Bob on the running board"

from New York" said Mile. Susan as
we went to meet the guests ap-
preaching, I on the one side of her
and the Mr.. Buzz on the other.
THE beautiful Madam Whitworth
came down upon the same train
which I coupled" I said as I re-
membered to raise from my head my
hat by that action on the part of
my Mr.. Buzz.
"Oh, then you have been present

that Madam Whitworth, who stood
smiling while was presented to the

ALPS w ell That
~ Ends Well -
The Younger Sister Who Proved That Ability and
Sweetness Are w inning Assets

But tonight Ann was on a strike.
No one knew that she had made a
resolution to speak out to the first
person who seemed at all interested.
That the first person happened to be
new friend of Evelyn's could make
no possible difference.
Then you're not really domes-
tic" Colby Burns inquired, trying to
draw the girl out.
"Oh, no! It's just taken for grant
ed. I'm really no more domestic
than Evelyn. Very few girls are,
you know. Perhaps you don't know
girls very well, Mr.. Burns"
II think I've stumbled on a new
variety" Burns returned.
Anyone to hear you talk, Ann
would think that you were regu-
lar Cinderella" said Evelyn angrily.
"Oh, no." protested Anne. You
didn't think SO, did you, Mr.. Burns?"
Not at all. 1 simply took 1t that
more than any other girl of your
age"
which was quite right" said
Ann, with her quick, birdlike little
laugh.
well, I don't know what all the
fuss is about" Evelyn continued
more smoothly. She was too tact
full to allow Colby Burns to see that
she was annoyed. Wasn't he quite
the best looking man she had met
in long. time, and hadn't he a
splendid position. I'm sure that If
you had a friend here, Ann, l should
be quite glad to give you a chance
to entertain. But suppose we go
and do the dishes. You won't mind
wiping them for me, will you. Mr..
Burns?" Evelyn had quite an en-
trancing vision of herself as domes-
tic and sweet in a big beruffled
apron.
"Oh, no, Evelyn, was just teas
ing" Ann said penitently. of course
I'm going to do them. You know
you hate dish water, and I'm used
to it,"
And I'll help you." said Burns
eagerly to Ann.
Ann laughed. "All right, but I
warn you, I'm mighty particular"
And Ann vanished into the kitchen
with a pile of china followed by
Colby Burns.
Evelyn was ready to cry with
suppressed anger and vexation.
Mother what do you suppose has
come over Ann?" she questioned
petulantly.
why don't you say something
to her? She has no right to in
terfere with my callers"
Strikes me-" put in her father,
who had said nothing during the
discussion, that Mr.. Burns rather
wanted to help Ann. After all,
Evelyn. yon don't do very much to
make it pleasant for your sister; I
thing you brought the whole thing
on yourself"
Out in the kitchen gray-eyed
Ann, her arms deep in hot, soapy
dishwater, was entertaining Evelyn S
beau. Cinderella had waited a long
time for the prince to make her
princess. After all, Evelyn had
so many friends, what did just one
matter, If he happened to appeal to
Ann?
