My reasons for vetoing this meas

son this afternoon at n joint session
of the Senate and House.

The SPEAKER: The gentleman may
proceed.
Mr.. MAHER: And was afraid
and went and hid thy talent in the
earth. 10. there thou hast that is
thine"
Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen. to dis
cuss the objections to this measure
now pending, one is not confined to
the printed message before us. be-
cause flowing from that have been
certain objections which have been
discussed. not necessarily included in
the message itself. which we hear
from those about US and which. il
I understand them, take form as fol-
lows.
There has been no objection to the
bill itself. no defect pointed out in
the measure under consideration, ex-
ccpt the inference that it is faulty in
this regard: that there is no time
limit in the act itself within which
the company formed hereunder must
begin operations.
Now, gentlemen. wish to state at
the very outset in that regard-and
every member Of the joint committees
which heard this measure will recall
that I am literally giving the exact
facts-that the representative from
Fairfield, Mr.. Weeks of the Judiciary
Committee. Intercepted the pro-

found her mother tedious and
never had patience for explaining
things to her. II see through the
guy, all right" she added, her face
darkening. though he nearly had
me fooled. Nobody ever scared
me before the way that man did
quiet as he was. But I don't
want him nor his money"
Money" echoed the sonora.
HE offered a hundred thousand
dollars If ia stop the lawsuit an
quit. He'd got the stuff with him.

ever hear such nerVe?"
The Sonora Tallbois staggered
out Of the chair.

eagerly. He offered you money
to do that? Take it, In Heavens

the money and let us GO"
Not on your life," blazed

But Agnes hustled her appealing
parent impatiently into the bed
room and refused to listen to pro-
test or argument. The sonora was
too exhausted to- resist further:
she gave up the attempt. The girl
returned to the sitting room for a
few moments and gave herself
up to rapid reflection. A light
dawned in her ayes and she ut
tered an exclamation.

The Great Question.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty and have been
going about with a young man
eight years my senior, whom /
have learned to love dearly. We
have been seeing each other at
least once a week for about six
months. About two months ago
he asked me If I loved him, and
instead of answering I asked him
IL he loved me. He intimated that
he did, but did not say so direct-
ly. Since then he has not brought
UP the subject again and does not
commit himself in any way.
Now. do you think that should
bring up the matter again and
tell him how I feel?
think he is In a position to
marry and my parents approve
Of him, and he is received COR
daily in my home. Although we
are rather intimate. our talk when
together is not personal. He is
something Of an idealist, and I
have gathered from his converse
ton that he believes in love and.
of course. ultimately marriage. He
knows I like him, but I do not
think he knows how deep my love
is, as I would not commit myself
when asked. Do you think I
should wait for him to allude to
1t again, or shall I? am very
unhappy, as do not know where
I stand. BETTY.
pERHAPS your conservatism in
refusing 10 answer when the
man asked If you cared for him
hurt him. Possibly he felt that II
your love were deep and generous
1t would commit itself to reply
without hedging" and waiting

playing with money that did not
belong to him, and with Alicia at
his back. Besides. he was sure
Of losing.
The Duchess hastily left him.
The time was flying, and any
minute they might give out the

young man timidly slipping
