Person of Undecisive Character Can

exclamation referred to the subterra-
mean machinery, for dismaying sounds
came from beneath the floor, and the

the din. mo! She breathes, she
stirs; she seems to feel a thrill of life
along her keel" And he began to
sing "The Star Spangled Banner"
Anderson joined him Justify, and
sang on when Morgan stopped. His
nephew, behind, was gloomy. He had
overheard his mothers conversation
with the inventor: it seemed curious
to him that this Morgan, Of whom he
had never heard until last night,
should be using the name 'Isabep SO
easily and George felt that it was not
just the thing for his mother to call
Morgan Eugene ;" the resentment OF
the previous night came upon George
again. Meanwhile his mother and
Morgan continued their talk; but he
could no longer hear what they said ;
the noise of the car and his uncle's
songful mood prevented. He marked
how animated Isabel seemed; it was
not strange to see his mother so gay,
but it was strange that a man not OF
the family should be the cause OF
her gayety. And George sat frowning.
Lucy turned to him. "You tried to
swing underneath me and break the
fall for me when we went over" she
said. II knew you were doing that,
and-it was nice of you"

returned brusquely. Couldn't have

"Still it was friendly of you-and
awfully quick. too. I'll not-Ill not

Her voice had sound of genuine
ness, very pleasant, and George be-
gan to forget his annoyance with her
father. This annoyance of his had not

been alleviated by the circumstance
that neither of the seats of the old
sewing machine was designed for
three people, but when his neighbor
spoke thus gratefully he no longer
minded the crowding-in fact, it
pleased him so much that he began to
wish the old sewing machine would go
even slower. George presently adj
dressed Lucy hurriedly, almost trem-
ulously. speaking close to her ear:

GOT THE WRONG IMPRESSION
Grandfather Was Convinced His Pet
Had Joined the Church, and Re-
joiced Accordingly.

She is a newspaper woman and her
grandfather formerly was a local
preacher of circuit fame He is very
much interested in her religious state
and worries because she does not at
tend church every Sunday night
The other evening she went to a
church to write story about the new
organ, the purchase of which had been
made possible by her stories In the pa
per. So she took grandfather with her,
knowing that while he could not hear
much Of the services, still he would en-
joy being in the church.
At the close of the sermon came a
surprise for the newspaper woman.
The minister announced: miss s., who
wrote the stories which brought the
money for our organ, is with us to-
night and / would like for her to come
I'M in front so that all of us may see
her and shake her hand"
Grandfather saw his grandchild adj
vance to the front Of the church and
also saw the people begin shaking her
hand. He had not heard word the
minister had said, but still he had the
memory of camp meeting days to in
form him of what was happening.
They convinced him that his grand
daughter had Joined the church and
with handshaking the people were
welcoming her into the fold. So he
did his part. He rose to his feet and
began shouting at the top of his voice.

"But how could he stop them?''
Lucy asked, surely with reason. IF
he sold them the land it's theirs, isn't
it?"
George remained serene in the face
Of this apparently difficult question.
HE ought to have all the tradespeople
boycott the families that sell part of
their yards that way. All he'd have to
do would be to tell the tradespeople
they wouldn't get any more orders

JONES ATTENDS HEARING

PHOENIX, May 29.-F A. Jones of the corporation commission will leave today for Chicago to attend the hearing in the copper bullion tariff case before the interstate commerce commission on June 2.
 In this hearing, the copper compan- ies of the. state. are asking for the same rate as. on other commodities. instead of the disproportionate in- crease, which costs the, copper indus try millions a year more than they feel that they saould pay. The cor poration commission is an intervenor in the case, for the benefit of the state as whole, feeling that the prosperity of the state is in large part dependent upon the prosperity of the copper industry.
