Washington, March 5.-( (special) )-Con- sress already has learned that President Harding meant to be taken literally when he said that during his administration it would be his purpose to %'sit down" with the committees of the Senate and House to work out agreements for the expedi- ton of the public business
 Washington was still gaaping today over the friendly audacity of MT. liar ding in attending an executive session of the Senate a few minutes after he had taken the oath. of office. Woodrow Wilson thought he was going to the ex- treme limits of executive privilege in formally addressing Congress in public joint session. Mir. Harding, it must De admitted, knows Goue ess better,
 He knows that public appearances of the President in the House or Senate may have telling psychological effect l:pon the people at large, but such ap- pearances generally have left senators and representatives mora or less cold. Mr. Harding does not feel that real CO., operation with Congress grows out of formal speeches. It goes much deeper The big work of Congress is in the com full For the most part they make or break legislation.

THE FIRST VISIT

He gave a very striking earnestness of bis purpose by taking his cabinet ap- poihtments direct to the Senate floor, reading them off to the Senate behind closed doors and asking for immediate consideration. which he received. By this single stroke, MT harding took Con sress back to normalcy with vengesnce. In one stride he went back to the nor nalcy of Washington and Jefferson in the early days of the republic, when the three branches of the government had not, been so strictly separated as during the last 100 years.
 Back of the Presidents first and most unexpected step was an intention to chal- lenge right at the outset of his admin istration the friendly cooperation of his former colleagues. Mir Harding had told these colleagues that he wanted to work with them in the closest possible har- mony. It was distinctly up to the Sen

SHEILA.

Synopsis.-Dyck Calhoun, gifted
young Irish Gentleman of the time
of the French and American revo-
lutions, meets Sheila Llyn, seven
teen-year-old girl visiting in the
neghborhood. They are mutually
attracted. Sheila never knew her
dissipated father, Erris Boyne, her
mother having divorced him. In
Dublin Leonard Mallow and Dyck
fight with swords and Dyck is vic
tor Erris Boyne, secretly in French
employ, gets Dyck drunk and tries
to persuade him to join in revolt
against England. They quarrel.
While Dyck is overcome with
drugged wine, Boyne's second wife
enters the room and stabs her
faithless husband to the heart.
Dyck is arrested on a charge of
murder. He does not know if he
killed Boyne or not. Sheila begs
her mother to go to dublin with
her to help Dyck. Mrs. Llyn OPP
poses the idea. A letter from Mrs.
Llyn's wealthy brother in America
decides them to go and live with
him. Dyck refuses to enter any
plea except mo Defense" He
might have escaped by revealing
Boyne's treachery but refuses on
Sheila's account. He is sent to
prison for eight years. Sheila
writes Dyck, assuring him of her
belief in his innocence. Released
after serving four years, Dyck finds
himself destitute, his father dead.
In London Dyck receives a letter
from Sheila inviting him to come
to America and sending money for
the voyage. He feels he cannot in
honor go to her. Dyck joins the
British navy as an enlisted man.
Bad conditions in the fleet result in
mutiny. Dyck, joining the mutt
neers, is chosen by them to COM
mand the ship, the Ariadne. Dis
satisfied with the conduct of the
other ships crews, Dyck breaks
with them and sails the Ariadne to
the West Indies. He arrives in time
to turn the tide of victory in a
battle between the French and
English fleets. Calhoun is arrested
for his part in the mutiny but
thanked by the admiral for his
work in the battle. The British
government gives Dyck the free
dom of the island of jamaica, of
which his old enemy, Lord Mallow,
is governor. With a companion,
Dyck secures treasure worth $4,000
from a sunken Spanish ship. and
becomes a wealthy and respected
planter.

CHAPTER XIV.
At Salem.

The plantation Of Salem was in a
region below the Pedro plains in the
parish of st. Elizabeth, where grow
the aloe, and torch-thistle, and clumps
of wood which alter the appearance
of the plain from the South Downs
of England, but where thousands of
cattle and horses even in those days
were maintained. The air of the dis
trict was dry and elastic, and it i'll
tered down to the valleys near like
that where Salem was with its clus-
tiers of negro huts and Offices its mills
and distilleries where sugar and rum
were made. Salem was situated on
the Black river, accessible by boats
and canoes. The huts of negro slaves
were near the sugar mills, without
regard to order, but in clusters of ba-
nana avOcadO-pear, lines and oranges,
and with the cultivated land round
their huts made an effective picture.
Every plantation had a surgeon who
received a small sum for attendance
on every slave, while special cases of
IlIuNlleIN, lHoCuldllOll' elC., ldu par
ticular allowance. The surgeon had
to attend to about four hundred to
five hundred negroes, on an income Of
ESQ per annum, and board and lOdg-
ing and washing, besides what he made
from his practice with the whites.
Salem was no worse than some 9TH
er plantations on the island, but it was
far behind such plantations as that
owned by Dyck Calhoun, and had been
notorious for the cruelties committed
on it. TO such an estate lady like
Sheila Llyn would be boom She was
not on the place day before she
started reforms which would turn the
plantation into model scheme.
Houses, food, treatment of the negroes
became at once a study to her, and
her experience in Virginia was inval-
liable. She had learned there not to
work the slaves too hard in the warm
period of the day; and she showed her
interest by having served at her own
table the favorite oliO the slaves made
of plantains, bananas, vans, calalue,
eddoes, cassavi, and sweet potatoes
boiled with salt fish and favored with
cayenne pepper. This, with the I'M
ripe roasted plantain as bread, was
native relish and health-giving food.

she might do worse, though if she
see her in her grave than welded TO
him. For he is selfish-aye, as few
men are! He would eat and keep his
apple, too. His theory is that life
is but a game, and it must be played
with steel He would squeeze the life
out of flower, and give the flower
to his dog to eat. He thinks first and
always of himself. He wOuld-but
there, he would make a good husband
as husbands go for some women, but
not for this woman! 1t is not because
he is my enemy | say this. 1t is be-
cause there is only one woman like
your daughter, and that is herself;
and l would rather see her married
to hedger that really loved her than
to Lord MallOw, who loves only one
being on earth-himself. But see, Mrs.
Llyn, now that you know all, now that
we three have met again, and this is
land is small and tragedy is at our
doors, don't you think your daughter
should be told the truth? 1t will end
everything for me. But it would be
better so. Your conscience will be
clearer, and so will mine. We shall
have done the right thing at last. Why
did you not tell her who her father
was? Then why blame me? You held
your peace to save your daughter, as
you thought. l held my tongue for
the same reason; but she is so much
woman now that she will understand
as she could not have understood years
ago in Limerick. In Gods name let
us speak. One of US should tell her,
and l think it should be you. And
see, though l know did right in with
holding the facts about the quarrel
with Erris BOyne, yet l favor telling
her that he was a traitor. The whole
truth now or nothing. That is my

Far down at the other end of the
garden he saw Sheila. Her face was
in profle-an exquisite silhouette. She
moved slowly among the pimentO
bushes
"As you WISH" he said with heavy
sigh, The sight of the girl anguished
his soul.

CHAPTER XIV.
Strangers Arrive.

Dyck Calhoun's letter was never
ended. 1t was only relic of the years
spent In Jamaica, only sign of his
well-being, though it gave no real pic
ture of himself. He was in appear
ance thin, dark-favored, buoyant in
manner and stern in face, with splen-
did eyes. Had he dwelt on olympus
he might have been summoned to judge
and chastise the sops of men.
When Michael Clones came to the
doorway, Dyck laid down his quill pen
and eyed the flushed servant in dis
approval.
"What is it, Michael? Wherefore
this starkness? Is some one come from
heaven?"
"Not precisely from heaven, yr hon
or, but"
"But-yes, Michaell Have done

it was the spirit of Ireland loose in
a world that was as far apart from
Ireland as she was from her dead, dis
honored father.
And Dyck? At first she felt she
must fly to him---yes, in spite of the
fact that he had suffered prison for
manslaughter. But nearer look at
him stopped the impulse at its birth

Eyes, Michael. There's only one
thing to do-face all the facts with all
the evidence, and you are fact and
evidence, too. You know more of the
truth than any one else"
Several hours later, when the sun
travelling the burning roads through
vans and cocoa, grenadillas and all
kinds of herbs and roots and vagrant
trees, Dyck Calhoun and Michael
Clones came into Spanish Town.
Dyck looked around upon the town
with new eyes. He saw it like one for
the first time visiting it. He saw the
people passing through the wide
verandas of the houses, like a vast
colonnade, down the street, to be hap
PLY sheltered from the fierce sun. AS
they passed Kings house they saw
troops of the viceroy's guests issuing
from the palace-officers of the kings
navy and army, officers and men of the
Jamaica militia, pale-faced, bigeyed
men of the creole class, mulattoes,
quadro0ns and Octoroons, Samboes
with their wives in loose skirts, white
stockings and pinnacle hats. Snatches
of song were heard and voices of men
who had had a full meal and had
taken Observations"-as looking
through the bottom of a glass of
liquor was called by people with naval
spirit-were mixed in careless carou-
sal.
All this Jared on Dyck Calhoun and
only half-conscious of the great SEN
suousness of the scene as he passed
through it. All was brought to focus
at last, however, by their arrival at
Charlotte Bedfords lodgings, which,
like most houses in the town, had a
lookout or belfry fitted with green
blinds and a telescope, and had a
green-painted wooden railing round it.
At the very entrance, inside the gate
in the garden, they saw Sheila I1yn
her mother and Darius BOland, who
seemed to be enduring from the moth
er some sharp reprimand, to the
amusement of the daughter.
AS the gate closed behind Dyck and
Michael, the three from Virginia
turned round and faced them. AS
Dyck came forward, Sheila flushed
and trembled. She was no longer a
young girl, but her slim straightness
and the soft lines of her figure gave
her a dignity and charm which made
her young wOmanhOOd distinguished
for she was now twenty-five and had
a carriage of which a princess might
have been proud. Yet it was plain
that the entrance Of Dyck at this mo-
ment was disturbing. 1t was not what
she had foreseen.
: She showed no hesitation, however,
but came forward to meet her visitor,
while Michael fell back, as also did
Darius Boland. Both these seemed to
realize that the less they saw and
heard, the better; and they presently
got together in another part Of the
garden, as Dyck Calhoun came near
enough almost to touch Sheila.
Surely, he thought, she was supreme
in appearance and design. She was
touched by a rose on each cheek and
made womanly by firm and yet gener-
Gus breasts, tenderly imprisoned by
the white chiffon of her blouse in
which was one bright sprig of the buds
of cherry tree-a touch of modest
luXuriance on person sparsely orna-
mented. 1t was Sheila herself, whom
time had enriched with far more than
years and experience. 1t was per-
sonality which would anywhere have
taken place and held it. 1t was I'M
defeatable, persistent and permanent ;
