General at the time, and the snakes
were eagerly deposited in my lap. The
king snake, by the way, although most

and rushed up to the Congressman
with the assurance that he would
there find kindred spirits They at
first thought the snakes were wooden
ones, and there was some perceptible
recoil when they realized that they
were alive. Then the king snake went
up Quentin's sleeve-he was three or
four feet long-and we hesitated to
drag him back because his scales rem

Christmas Gifts fer District.
Certain District gentlemen and or
CARNATIONS had hoped that Congress
would adopt their pet projects ere this
time and present washington with a
Christmas gift In the shape OF an ap-
preparation. A few brief weeks ago
there was much talk of several pro-
posed memorials. Today a strange
silence has fallen upon the promoters
and little Is heard Of the plans that
were given much publicity several
moons ago. Why?
Col. ROBERT N. HARPER has not
been interviewed recently on his pro-
posed memorial and victory arch to
the American fighting men of the
world war.
DIR. GEORGE W. KERNoDLE, who
was actively boosting a permanent ex-
position on the Mall with buildings
and exhibits representing all the
States Of the Union and the countries
OF the world. has not been heard from

cerned.

associate members OF the DACGH-
TIERS OF THE CONFEDERACY have
not recently made any press an

from finer feelings than the people of
Hawk Valley dreamed tina: he pos
sessed. There remained but a little
over an hours ride now to reach Hawk
Valley, and Holt did not mean they
should get there before 9 o'clock at
the earliest.
He sat gr:-ely quiet, his strong
hands folded acros his raised knees,
his back against a tree, looking brave
Ily, wistfully, off into the distance. He
seemed a great deal older, now, with
that grave, sad expression. Jean stole
a glance at him now a:ic then, as she
plucked at the vegetation about her,
and wondered why this appalling al
lence. which she seemed powerless to
break, had SO suddenly fallen upon
them.
Then the mans voice broke the stu
ness ill a low, tense tone. There's
something must tell you"
The very air seemed waiting to hear
what hs would say. The girl scarcely

ut wouldn't have been the square
thing fot me to tell you that 1 loved
you if | had been the only one that
cared; but we've been through all this
together, and it's as if we had known
each other for yearsEand-you care

not worthy Of it-but you care-and
it's up to mo to help you stop it. It
would be an easier job, perhaps, If I
were used to being trusted, but it's an
honest facs that you're the first re-
spectacle person that has really trust
ed me since I can remember, and it
comes hard"
His voice broke as il an alien sob
had wandered into his bronzed throat.
A sob swelled in the girls throat, too,
and her little briar-scratched hand
stole out ana just touched his arm re-
assuringly with a feather glance of
pressure, and withdrew as it to say:
