figure of jun. And while he stood there, undeniably such figure, with Jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to burst at any moment, if laughter were longer denied them, Lucy sat looking at him with her eyebrows delieately lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her own complete composure was what most galled him.
 "Nothing of the slightest impor~ tance'' he managed to say. "I was just leaving. Good-afternoonp And with long strides he reached the door and hasteneu through the hall; but l before he closed the door he heard from Jamie and Mary Sharon the out burst of wild, irrepressible emotion which his performance had inspired. He drove home in a tumultuouS mood, l almost ran down two ladies who were engaged in absorbing con- versatiOn at a crossing. They were his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson l jerk of the reins at the last instant saved them by few inches; but their conversation was so interesting that | they were unaware of their danger and did not notice the runabout, nor 1 how close it came to them.
 He drove into the Majors stable too fast, the sagaeious Pendennis saving himself from going through partition 1 by a swerye which splintered shaft of the runabout and almost threw the driver to the floor. George sWore. and then swore again at the fat old darkey, Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
 He strode from the stable, crossed the Majors back yard, then passed behind the new houses, on his way | home These structures were now ap- preaching completion, but still in 8 state of rawness hideous to George l though, for that matter, they were never to be anything except hideous to him.
 In this temper he emerged from be- hind the house nearest his own and, 1 glancing toward the street saw his mother standing with Eugene Morgan upon the cement path that led to the 1 front gate. She was bareheaded and Eugene held his hat and stick in his hand; evidently he had been calling upon her, and she had come from the house with him, continuing their con~ versation and delaying their parting.
 George stared at them. A hot dis 1 like struck him at the sight of Eu- gene; and vague reyulsion, like strange, unpleasant taste in his nouths came over him as he looked at his mother; her manner was eloquent of so much thought about her companion and of such reliance upon him.
 The two began to walk on toward the gate, where they stopped, turning to face each other, and IsabePs glance, passing Eugene, fell upon George. In- stantly she smiled and waved her hand to him, while Eugene turned a, d nodded; but George, standing az in some rigid trance and staring straight at them, gave these signals of greeting

 The Major was skeptical. "Dream on, fair son!" he said. "Its lucky for us that you're only dreaming; because if people go to moving that far. real estate values in the old residence part of town are going to be stretched pret- ty thin"
 I'm afraid so." Eugene assented Unless you keep things so bright and clean that the old section will stay more attractive than the new ones"
 Not very likelyi How are things going to be kept bright and clean with soft coal and our kind of city goyernment?"
 "They aren't" Eugene replied quick

all his little dinners were pleasant, and that this one was no exception.
 George did not move, and Fanny, following the other two, came round the table and paused close beside his chair; but George remained posed in great imperturbability, cigar between teeth, eyes upon ceiling, and paid no attention to her. Fanny waited until the sound of Isabel's and the Majors voices became inaudible in the hall. Then she said quickly, and in a low voice so eager that it was unsteady:
 George, you've struck just the treatment to adopt; you're doing the right thingP'

black skirts, leaving George mystified but incurious.
 In truth, however, he was neither so comfortable nor so imperturbable as he appeared. He felt some gratifica- tion; he had done little to put the man in his place-that man whose in- fluence upon his daughter was precise ly the same thing as a contemptu0us criticism of George Anderson Nina fer, and of George Anderson Nina fer's "ideals of life" Lucy's going away without word was intended, he supposed, as a bit of punishment. Well, he wasn't the sort of man that people were allowed to punish; he could demonstrate that to them since they started it!
 Isabel came to Georges door that night and, when she had kisesd him goodnight, she remained in the open doorway with her hand upon his shoulder and her eyes thoughtfully lowered, so that her wish to say some thing more than goodnight was evi- dent. Not less obvious was her per plexity about the manner of saying it; and George, divining her thought, amiably made an opening for her.
 "Well, old lady" he said, indulgent- ly, "you needn't look so worried. I won't be tactless with Morgan again. After this I'll just keep out of his way"
 ~ho ,;cJ, +o1I me something: Why don't you like Flu gene?"
 "Oh, like him well enough" George returned, with short laugh, as he sat down and began to unlace his shoes. q like him well enough-in his place."
 "NO, dear" she said hurriedly. 'Ive had a feeling from the very first that you didn't really like him-that you really never liked him. I can't under stand it, dear; don't see what can be the matter"
 "Nothing's the matter"
 This easy declaration naturally failed to carry great weight, and Tsa- bel went on, in her troubled voice: "It seems so queer, especially when you feel as you do about his daughter"
 At this, George stopped unlacing his shoes abruptly and sat up. 'How do I feel about his daughter?" he de- handed
 "Well, it's seemed-as if-as if" Isabel began timidly. Tt did seem At least, you haven't looked at any other girl ever since they came here, and-certainly you've seemed very much interested in her. Certainly you've been very great friends?'
 "Well, what of that?"
 "It's only that I'm like your grand father: I can't see how you could be so much interested in girl and-and not feel very pleasantly toward her father"
 "Well, I'll tell you something" George said slowly, and frown of concentration could be seen upon his brow, as from a profound effort at '"The truth is, I don't believe I've ever thought of the two together, exactly-at least, not until lately. I've always thought of Lucy just as Lucy, and of Morgan just as Morgan. I've always thought of her as person herself, not as any bodys daughter.

CEiVED BY LOCAL 1172 WHEN

DAcY FOR CITY COMMISSIONER

mostly of the machinists at the L. Is
N. shops. gave an enjoyable supper

MORE WORK AND LESS rALK.

one OF the ways suggested for the conservation
OF print paper is more work and less talk on tho
part OF congress. The Fourth Estate tells us that
ten Thousand pages Of type were required by the
Congressional Record to record the proceedings OF
the first session the sixty-sixth congress- inst
closed, and but one week interviewed between the
close OF the extra session the reassembling OF
congress to more launch forth The Fourth
Estate says:
while members are disturbing themselves over the
shortage OF news print they can well afford to study
the amount OF paper which goes into the makeup OF
the $4,000 daily copies OF the Congressional Record
and when inclined to spout in oratorical fashion
may well check their words and confine themselves
to the bare essential statements
Nothing that is accomplished under the government
moves with more clocklike precision than the pub-
cation OF the Congressional Record which appears
each day while congress is in session. and always on
time regardless OF the delay in. furnishing COPY
Sometimes the last material is not before a.
M. but the complete issue is set up, read, printed
and wrapped by a. m. Copies go by the first mail
OF the morning to the homes Of the members being
sent directly to the postoffce which is Just across
the street from the Government Printing Office
The Record however is but one OF the incidental
accomplishments of the big print shop, which av-
erages in its consumption 200 tons of print paper
per day. More than 800 annual reports running about
1000 copies each printed there. and bureau re-
ports also issued
Twelve dailies ranging from 200 to $4,000 copies
are issued daily from the government office There
are 25 weekles the highest issue being 10000 copies
for the Weekly News Letter Of the department OF
agriculture. The Crop Reporter issued by the same
department runs 100000 copies. and is the largest
of the So monthlies issued
There is any let up in work at the govern
ment printing office for three shifts of employees
are maintained in the printing. binding and press
work divisions where $500 persons are employ ed
The total cost of the printing turned out, all Of
which is done at actual cost is little more than
100000 per month The military establishments
have taken the lead since the war in contributing
to this cost The department last year headed
the list with bill of s2O00Oo0 The navy and treas
ury each have about ST. 100000 annually

This goes to show that the Mexican government

There are many faults the Eseh railroad bill now

When the measure reaches the senate it is sure

There is of course some opposition to these fea-
