As his luck would have it, Julius
met the lady of the telephone not long
after. 1t was by the merest chance
that he was introduced to her. He
was buying some music, for julius
sang in choir, being rated as a good
baritone, and in the music store he
met his organist who was lady.
With the lady organist was one whom
Julius recognized as the person who
had carried on that memorable con-
versatiOn.
The lady organist introduced him to
her as Mrs. Waller.

julius wondered why there should
be anything In this thought to make
Mrs. Waller smile and gaze at him so
archly. Of course, she might have
heard his organist speak of him, con-
sidering that he was her best and
most reliable baritone. She might al
so have heard of him from Maud An

said Candy.

Mrs. Waller. And once more she
smiled archly.
julius thought he knew why Mrs
Waller smiled archly. She was Il
friend OF Maud Andrews, and Maud
was going to church with her on Eas-
ter day. For that very reason he
wished he could get out of singing in
the choir for that day, He had half

wide difference over the house pro-

partly by water nad partly by rail.
The house conferees were insistent
upon the clause authorizing the COM
mission to establish minimum rates
for water and rail transportation. A
similar provision was rejected by the
senate because senators interested in
waterway transportation declared the
commission might establish minimum
rates too high in the interests of the
railroads.
