"O'Reilly. this girl has done more ZOE
Cuba than any of US. She has spent
small fortune for medical supplies"
said he.
"9those poor men must live on quiz
nine" the girl exclaimed. anyone
who can bear to take the stuff ought
ID have all he wants. I've a perfect
passion for giving pills"
OReilly liked this girl. He had liked
her the instant she favored him with
her friendly smile. and SO, trusting
fatuously to his masculine powers of
observation, he tried to analyze her.
He could not guess her age, for an ex-
pensiye ladies' tailor can battle the
most discriminating eye. Certainly,
however, she was not old--he had an
idea that she would tell him her exact
age if he asked her. While he could
not call her beautiful, she was some
thing immensely better-she was alive,
human, interesting, and interested.
The fact that she did not take her
EMISSION" oyer-seriously proved that
she was also sensible beyond most
women. Yes, that was it. Miss No
rine Evans was q perfectly sensible,
unspoiled young person, who showed
the admirable effects of clean living
and clean thinking coupled with nor
NAL, sturdy constitution. O'Reilly told
himself that here was girl who could
pour tea, nurse sick man, or throw
baseball.
And she was as good as her promise.
She did not interrupt when, during
dinner, Alvarado led Johnnie to talk
about his latest experience in Cuba,
but, on the contrary. her unllagging in
terest induced O'Reiily to address his
talk more often 10 her than toNthe doe

Washington, July 5.-Prohibition
advocates in the senate planned today
to seek changes in the pending Norris
