Jed, 1 knew as soon as I saw him,
was changed-not violently but in
some fashion and perceptibly. Mr.. Sid
ney was not. His geniality could not
change. He made me feel that he had
missed me and was rejoiced to see me
again. Mrs. Sidney seemed, spiritually,
to continue to lean on me for support,
a thing that perceived in abasement
and with a sense of unworthiness and
unreliability. Isobel was as whole
some as the air. In the most pleasant
circumstances life was resumed at
Hartley house.

lence and his occasional flashes of
malevolence, but he was subdued. /
thought he seemed furtive
I asked Mrs. Sidney if she had OBJ
served a change. She said it had not
occurred to her to think of it as a
change, but there had been a differ
ence for which she was grateful. She
remembered that when they were max
ing their visit to Montevideo Jed had
gone down to the docks and had come
back obviously disturbed. She had OBJ
served the fact without giving much
thought to it. She was not sure but
that there had been an amelioration of
Jed since then. She had regarded the
event as Insignificant. 1t might have
had a meaning, but if so, it was OBJ
scured.
Our days were Of pleasant routine,
but nevertheless, for reasons which
I have tried to make perceptible If
not explicit, the expectation was
touched by dread. We had, for sew
eral months, no outstanding incident
or disturbing happening. Mr.. Sid
ney's health remained exceptionally
good. He created a new interest in
his life: he had not forgotten his visit
to the penitentiary, and he was eager
to do what he could for the convicts
Evidently he thought of his restrict
ed life as something not wholly alien,
except for it's comforts, to theirs. The
most that he could do was to send
books and occasionally to prepare a
Sunday afternoon program of music
to be given by small orchestra which
! he had brought out from the city. He

especially speak Of the services at

true when anything that is novel in

Of the service on Christmas Sunday
The excellent music by the choir, the
sermon by the pastor, Rev. S. t. Liv-
ingston, and the entire absence of for
maIities or anything that might MAJ
the real eommemoration of the birth
of the Saviour, added greatly TO the
real thought of what this season Of the
year means TO Christianity, and to the
world in general. Over one hundred

THAT BONUS BILL.

A VERY large proportion Of the public has been undo

polii;c with the service mems bonus bill. but the way u
xbi;cb IL. measure was damned through that body on Sat
urday will have a tendency to make the country wake "
with a JOLT
If there had ben a feeling that the movement was
reallv serou, one at the time more attention would haM
been paid by the country at large to the plan BY which !
is uuposed 10 raise The millions which the bill appropr1ates
In quarters best qualified to pass judgment upon such mat
tiers all Of the schemes for this purpose that have been ad
vapced 50 far have been denounced as unsOund and De
e;dedly unsatisfactory. Making due allowance tor th h
fact that there never was a tax proposed that some one de
not find fault with it. it is probably true that a sufficient
amount Of study and investigation has not been gwen to
this feature Of the bonus.
But with the showing in the house before them the
people will be quite justified IN assuming that there Is dan.
ger Of railroadng the project through the senate IN The
same way in which it was put through the house Senators
are elected by popular vote and one-third of those who arc
now ealled upon to act upon this bonus matter are directly
and vitality interested in the way the ballots fall IN N0vem,
ber. The best hope that the bonus will not be ]anned
through lies in The prospect that the leaders Of the Amer
iran .a;on will realize the danger to the moral position
Of their organization which would be involved IN any pro
;ect 50 i'll conceived in its fundamentals that IN time II
would come to be recognized by the whole country as a
sordid raid upon the treasury made possible By playing
upon the fears Of a congress about to go to the people III
. s The country wants to do the right thing by the service
men. It is specially anxious to be liberal with those who
really came out of the war the worse for their service
America has always set new standards in the matter Of
eomDepsations Of this kind. But treasury raid; never were
tolerated and they will not be now. The proponents o.
his bonus business had better make sure they are nsh

of her discovery spread rapidly and the revenue Officers
are said to have begun an investigation to determine
whether or not there is smuggling Of liquor from Gen
tral and South America. But why seek the source Sc
far afeld? Some observant importer OF cocoanuts car
rying an uncomfortably large stock may have spiked
a few of them in the expectation that it would start
demand for his wares. They do say that the recen
