ROBERTSON TRIES
TO HURRY MATTERS
Senator From Holt Proposes
That Members Kill Some
of Own Pet Measures.
SHUDDER THROUGH HALL
CFrom a STAFF correspondcntJ


Lincoln, Feb. 27.-(Special.) TAX
ing his cue from story in The Bee
Monday morning. Senator Robertson
OF Holt county, today attempted to
carry out the idea that it was time
tor the legislature to get down to
business and offered motion that the
14l bills now on general file be cut
down to thirty-three for immediate
consideration This he said would
entirely eliminate the need of a sitting
committee later on.
The senators were astonished to
think that any member would get SO
radical as to want really to clean up
business and take the burden OF a
wind tanning legislature off OF the
hands of the people so soon, Moriarty
Of Douglas, who has the distinction OF
having introduced more than 10 per
cent of all the bills in the senate, Of
fered an amendment to the motion
making consideration of the matter a
special order for next "Wednesday
morning.
Senator Robertson wanted each
senator to pick one bill from the gen
cral file, the one he was most inter
ested in which should be first con-
sidered in committee OF the whole. At
the same time each senator would be
expected to kill one bill, that one to
apply to similar measure over in the
house. The senator from Holt offered
to set a good example by killing off
two of the seven bills he had intro
duCed.

Hardy saw the frank sincerity in his

the assertion with an instant apology :
"Mr. Vandervyn, beg your pardon
for misjudging you. At times your
conduct has been ill-advised, but l
no longer doubt your good intentions"

Vandervyn, and, as if freed from all

mood Of suave gayety.

Maries challenging gaze softened,
and she looked thoughtfully down at
her white hands.
'Isn't even self-sacrifice a form Of
selfshness?" she murmured.
The appearance of the Indian boy
in the dining room doorway checked
Hardy's reply.
During supper the girl remained
unusually thoughtful and silent. Hair

that the government might permit him
to build an irrigation system for the

work out Of money appropriated for
the sale Of the mineral lands. When

irony. Most Of the time he devoted

Vandervyn was up before dawn.
But Marie was up an hour earlier, and
sent her father over to make sure that
her lover came fci the breakfast she
had prepared for him. While he ate,
she stocked his sadalebags for the
trip, and gave the pinto a good feed
Of oats.
He tried to see her alone, and

PLANTATION that the agent wanted the
chiefs to sign two copies Of the memo
randum. This statement was unhesi-
tatingly interpreted by Redbear, and
the chiefs, who knew by experience
that most agency papers were signed
in duplicate, made their crosses and
thumb-prints as fast as Vandervyn
wrote their names on the two papers.
Oinna ventured to whisper to- her
brother that the papers did not look
alike. He hastily repeated the remark
to Vandervyn. The girl cringed close
to her grandfather. But Vandervyn
showed no anger. He smiled at her
in manner that brought a blissful
glow into her soft eyes, and explained
that one paper gave the proceedings
Of the council in full, while the other

INJURED to her something that at first
brought q shadow into her joyous face,
but in the end left her radiant with
happiness.
WhSn the leading men of the tribe
had signed the papers and Redbear
and Oinna had attested as witnesses.
Vandervyn thrust the documents into
his pocket and went to rejoin Hardy.
AS he handed over the paper that
Hardy had signed, he remarked that,
if there was no objection, Redbear
and his sister would remain in the
mountains with their grandfather I'M
til word should be received from the
government for the tribal delegation
to come on to Washington.
"You are ready to return to the
agency with me?" asked Hardy.
1--WE can start at once, if you wish,"
asscnted Vandervyn.
Every WELL" said Hardy. 'The girl
shall remain here, and you will come
with me-"
Vandervyn shrugged, smiled good
humoredly, and vaultcd into his sad
die.
Still doubtful of his companion,
Hardy took the ponies Of Relbear and
Oinna in lead. and rode over to where
the brother and sister stood in the
midst Of their grandfather's immcdi-
ate family. When the girl confirmed
Vandervyn's statement that she wished
to remain in the mountains, he took
ceremonious leave Of the noble old
chief, and rode off to rejoin his party.
During the brief interval Wander
vyn's gay humor had disappeared. He
met Hardy with frown, and held out
one Of the letters that he had written
that morning. Seeing that it was adj
dressed to himself, Hardy tore open
the envelope and read the brief note

they left the supper table, he asked
Dupont to come to the office.
Marie and Vandervyn followed theln

other? It's the usual thing. 1 ex-

"You?" exclaimed the girl, her eyes
widening with a look of astOnishEnent
and reDrOach.
Vandervyn laughed amusedly.
"Wait a bit before you dig up your
