CHAPTER XVIII.

Three days passed. Don Juan Cafe
tero had been buried with all the pomp
and circumstance of a national hero;
Mother jerks, too, had gone to her ap-
pointed resting place, and ri Buen
Amigo had been closed forever. Rlcar-
do had issued a proclamation announc-
ing himself provisional president Of
Sobrante; d convention Of revolution
airy leaders had been held, and prpvi-
sional cabinet selected. A day for the
national elections had been named the
wreckage Of the brief revolution had
been cleared away, and the wheels of
government were once more revolving
freely and noiselessly. And while all
of this had been going on, John Stu
art Webster had lain on his back, star
ing at the palace ceiling and absolute
ly forbidden to receive visitors. He
was still engaged in this mild form Of
gymnastics on the third day when the
door Of his room opened and Dolores
looked in on him.
"Good evening, Caliph," she called.
"Aren't you dead YETI"
1t was exactly the tone she should
have adopted to get the best results,
for Webster had been mentally and
physically iii since she had seen him
last, and needed some such pleasantly
as this to lift him out Of his gloomy
mood. He grinned at her boyishly,
"No, I'm not dead On the contrary,
I'm feeling real chirpy. Won't you
come in and visit for while, Miss
Ruey7"
well, since you've invited me, l
shall accept" Entering, she stood be-
side his bed and took the hand he ex-
tended toward her. "This is the first
opportunity I've had. Miss Ruey," he
began, Ito apologize for the shock /

fiected, "there is no escape. She's de

said: "All right, Dolores. I guess Bill

calm, impersonal, yet vitality interested
look that always drove him frantic

HOUSE AND SEN-

BITTER FEELING EXPLAINS KILL. ING OF MANY BILLS PASSED
 BY THE SENATE.

No legislation that can be consider ed in the brief time before the legis- lature adjourns is regarded by mem bers of the Senate and House as more important that the highway bill to be presented by the joint committee ap- pointed for that purpose. Since the Senate refused to accept the Smith bill, which was passed by the house and went to the upper body strongly recon mended by Governor McRae, and since the house lost no time in tabling Sen ator McFerrin's bill, which provided for a 5O-5O division between the coun- ties and the State Highway Department of revenue derived from the automobile license tax, many are wondering if the joint committee will be successful or whether they will "agree to disagree"
 A well known member of the house yesterday said that the bitter feeling in the house as result of the Senate's passing the McFerrin highway bill ex- plains the defeat of so many Senate measures in the house yesterday.
 After the representative had laid on the table a half-dozen or more meas ures Representative Mason of Ouacni- ta arose to a point of order.
