WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Sept. 24.-The Uni
Diary as to what disposition should
be made of the Leyiathan, the form
er giant German passenger liner Va
teriand, one of the ships seized b.
this country when it entered the
World War. The Leviathan has beer
lying at her docl in Hoboken, n.
} ;. since the signing Of the armistice
and proving nothing but a tremen-
Gous expense to Uncle Sam. The u.
s. Shipping Board has been trying
TO decide whether the former German
liner should be reconditioned and put
INTO the overseas passenger trade.
u to the present time it has como
t. ro conclusion in the matter.
The Leviathan when first launched
was considered the most magnificent
Passenger ship afloat. It's equipmen;
and Accommodations were not surpas
sed by any vessel plying on the higk
seas. But when this government
seized the ship, she was taken to
Newport News, Va, stripped of all
her expensive furnishings, costtns
approximately $10,000,000 and fitted
up as a troop ship. Unfortunately.
the government did not retain these
furnishings, as Great Britain, France
and other allied nations did wheE
they took possession Of German pas
senger lines. Accordingly, it will
cost between $S,0O0,000 and $4,000,
600 to fit out the Leviathan for the
passenger trade and Congress viii
have to be called upon to provide the
necessary funds. As matters stant
now, thai body is in no mood to make
any further appropriations for the
Slipping Board for any purpose,
whatever.

and Samson beneath II. Suddenly the
saw stopped. A clear, beautiful voice
flung the music of "Sweet Nlghtin-
gale" into the timbered hollow. IL
halted the workers and set the wood
land ringing. The men stood silent
like those hearing a benedlctlon. The
singing ceased. Still they listened for

Abe tenderly. "She's an odd child

When they were getting ready to go
home that afternoon Joe got into a
great hurry to see his mother. II
seemed to him that ages had elapsed
since he had seen her-a conviction
which led to noisy tears.
Abe knelt before him and comforted
the boy. Then he wrapped him In his
jacket and swung him In the air and
started for home with Joe astride his
neck.

The women of the little village had
met at a quilting party at ten o'clock
with Mrs. Martin Waddell. There
Sarah had had a seat at the frame
and heard all the gossip OF the coun-
tryslde. The nimble-fngered Ann Rut-
ledge--a daughter of the tavern folk
had sat beside her. Ann was a
slender, good-looklng girl OF seventeen
with blue eyes and a rich crown OF
auburn hair and fair skin well
Drowned by the sunlight. She was
the most dexterous needle worker In
New Salem
John Mcneil, whom the Traylors
had met on the road near Niagara
Falls and who had shared their camp
with them, arrived on the stage that
evening. He was dressed In a new
butternut suit and clean linen and
looked very handsome. Samson writes
that he resembled the pictures OF Rob-
ert Emmett. With fine. dark eyes. a
smooth skin, well-moulded features
and black hair neatly brushed on a
shapely head he was not ut all like
the rugged Abe. In a low tone and
very modestly, with a slight brogue
IN his tongue he told OF his adventures
On the long shore road to Michigan.
Ann sat listening and looking into his
lace as he talked. Abe came in. soon
