Cynthia sat In a hammock upon the
upper balcony of the little cottage, and
swung her heels like a carefree school
girl. For, though school days had long
been left behind, the ~invigorating
breeze coming sweet and fresh across
the lake, the chirping Of birds In the
evergreens overhead brought back.

cations spent long since in this same
great Assembly.
Above, the trees arched close like
the roof of some green cathedral.
while beneath them scattered little
winding streets of gayly painted
houses.
In the distance was the big hotel,
and there. in the very center Of the
grounds, stretched the amphitheater.
1t was here in the old days that Gym
thin had sung in the children's choir.
here now that she hoped to hear far
famed speakers, brought to bestow
their eloquence upon the favored mem
bers OF the Assembly.
Cynthin's admiration for a man who
had achieved was something akin to
awe. AS president of the Home Lit
ernry club she hoped to obtain a per-
sonal Interview with the coming great
speaker ii noted divine. whose brill
liant articles had caused widespread
comment, not only IN her wi country,
but IN those acros the seas.
Her friend and hostess of the cot
tnge had arranged to make the meet
Ing possible. And what a triumph
would be her report to the club. Gym.
thia's eyes shone in proud anticipation.
She would write out her own questions
to the great man md memorlze them,
that there might be no mistake In their
construction.
In order to accomplish this thought
fully, Cynthia took n long walk through
the wood. When she returned, Grace,
her hostess. greeted her brilliantly.
"Such luck I" she exclaimed. 'Dr.
Raymond Randall, the speaker, is to
be entertained at Mliler's, next door.
You viii have a fine chance to meet
him."
DlGldently, Cynthia glanced over her
shoulder at the red bungalow on the
left.

CONFEREES IN
 LINE NOW ON DYE EMBARGO
Second Agreement Reached in Accord With Expressed
 Direction of House

WASHINGTON, Sept. H. A sec ond agreement on the administration tariff bill was reached tonight by the Republican oonferees and. it was the hope of majority leaders in the house and senate to have the measure ready for President Harding by the end of this week or early next week.
 In accord with the expressed direc- tion of the house, the conferees elim- mated the dye embargo licensing pro- vision, which they previously had re- inserted into the bill and the one and one-half cents a pound duty on pot ash. In lieu of the embargo, the man. agers increased the rates proposed on dyes and synthetic chemicals and med icines. the products of coal tar
 For the first two years, the duties would be seven cents a pound and 55 per cent ad valorem on intermediates and seven cents a pound and 60 per cent on the finished products, while after two years they would be seven cents pound and 40 per cent on the intermediates and seven cents a pound and 45 per cent on the finished products. In all cases the ad valorem would be based on American valuation that is the wholesale selling price in the American market.
 The duties formerly agreed upon by the conferees were seven cents a pound and 50 per cent on interme- dlates and seven cents a pound and 60 per cent on the finished product, with the ad valorem based on foreign valuation.
 It is the plan of majority leaders to call the conference report up in the house tomorrow. Leaders declar- ed there was no question about the adoption of the conference report. which would have the way for senate action.
