 A Creole girl-starry-eyed, beauti- full, rich with the glorious coloring of her race-passed him bound for the cathedral across the square, as Web ster thought, for she carried a large prayer book on her arm. His glance followed the girl down the walk.
 Presently she halted. A young man rose from a bench where he evidently had been waiting for her, and bowed low, his hat clasped to his breast, as only Frenchman or a Spanish grandee can bow.

 The lovers were walking slowly, arm in arm, along the path by which the girl had come, so with courtesy and gentleness that were innate in him, Webster stepped out of sight be- hind the statue of Old Hickory; for he did not desire, by his mare pres ence, to intrude discordant note in the perfect harmony of those two hu- man hearts. He knew they desired that sylvan path to themselves; that evidently they had sought their early morning tryst in the knowledge that the square was likely to be deserted at this hour.

 He had proceeded but a few feet along this trail when, through break in the shrubbery ahead of him. he saw two men. Brief as was his glimpse of them. Webster instantly recognized the two Central Americans he had seen in the steamship ticket office two days previous.
 They were not walking as walk two men abroad at this hour for con- stitutional Neither did they walk as walk men churchward bound. A slight. skulking air marked their prog ress, and caused Webster to wonder idly what they were stalking.

 The clerk glanced at him with a slow smile, and pondered. "Well," he said presently. eff you care to buy a ticket for your valet, Pm sure shouldn't worry whether or not he catches the boat.

 "Webster-John s. Webster. You are very kind, indeed. I'm at the St. Charles"
 "Be there at quarter after two, Mir. Webster and you will hear from me promptly on the minute," the clerk assured him; whereupon Webster paid for one berth and departed for his hotel with feeling that the clerks report would be favorable.
 True to his promise, at precisely quarter after two. the ticket clerk teephOned Webster at his hotel that the berth in No. 34 had been cancelled and the entire staterOom was now at his disposal

I'VE can not reorganize," he said
today, ION the Bryan scheme of CIV

of our people. Neither can we re-
organize on the Gov. Cox plan Of
repeating the excess profits tax and
substituting for 1t a general sales
tax to raise over a billion dollars
from the people.
II think 1t better that these So
called meetings to consider plans for
reorganization, now being held, or to
be held, should be postponed for
four months. We could see by that
time what the Republicans are go

that confront them and what Is to be

not anticipate legislation at the ap-

Storms that have repeatedly driven

The plane in which they left Great

ships that put out, however, have
been driven back into port, damaged
and covered with ice.
