she clasped it fervently in

are to me! I will thank
you whenever I am alarmed

ings Of silk! M'sieur, you
make my legs to blush!"
When Yom pressed a
bottle Of perfume upon her
she gave a little cry of pleas
ure. "Oh, how I will smell
good!"
But at Soapy's gift, a lace
handkerchief, her eyes filled
and her face worked like
child's.

young fellows " going

ing her forsaken in this
quiet backwater of life ."
Stag was going ." He
alone was not here . %
All, how her heart was
breaking. e""
Stricken silence spread at
the sight Of the bowed yel-
low head and shaking figure.
Mariane sensed it and she !
struggled with her spirit.
Lifting her face and
smiling through her tears
she ordered, ga dance "a
M 'sieur-" she gaiis
pointed to a grinning SOL
dier. ''I ave seen you, oh,
so often in my yard dance
divinely. Please to favor
us"
Amid jeers and mock ap-
plause, the big fellow broke
into a jig, his heavy boots
beating dust from the plank
floor.
"Aw say, I'm bettern' he
is, Miss" put in a specta-
tor jealousy. II can beat
Pete's time any day. Get
this" He started a negro
shuttle.
"Hey, you fellers, we're
goin' to have a song. Mari
anne's goin' to sing a
song!" Soapy cried.
Despite her little laughing
screams of protest, he lifted
her bodily and set her on
the table amid her presents.
Looking down into the ring
of upturned faces, Marianne
felt her heart go out in a
little warm rush of graft
tude. She broke into q gay
little French song, sung to
the gathering accompaniment
Of her own small heels.
They roared with ap-
plause. They demanded
more from the flushed and
laughing girl
She sang another 10 the
tinkle Of the hurdy gurdy
rolled to the porch outside
They roared into the
chorus Of Madelon, singing
a lusty English 10 her
French. She was fired with
excitement as she fervently
beat time. Vivid as though
a flame burned In her slen-
der body-a flame shining
through her golden hair
the glowing violet eyes.
And then, before thsh
eyes she went white snd
mute, as though that flame
had been snuffed out,
Stag had entered @s
room.

ACTION ON MERGER

House Leaders Say Street
Car Plan Cannot Be Weighed
at This Session.

All the chances for street railway
merger legislation at this session of
Congress faded today when House lead
ers told the Senate District committee
he question could not be taken up in
the House under the program laid out
for the special session.
Chairman Capper and Senator's Van
denberg and Glass were delegated by
the Senate committee to find out if
there was any likelihood that the House
would consider the merger if the SEN
ate took action.
1t was learned that the House leaders
told the Senate group that every effort
was being made to conflne this session
TO the particular national questions for
which it was called and that an ex-
ception hardly could be made to this
rule without opening the doors to many
ether pieces of legislation.
While there is nothing to prevent
the Senate committee from holding
hearings or taking action on the merger
al this session, it is not likely that they
will press the matter in view of this
definite knowledge that it cannot be
enacted at the session.

Having announced previously that he

floor CT the Senate for more than an
hour yesterday, but seid nothing to in

upon that subject.
Early during the discussion, Senator
Watson Of Indians. the Republican
leader. offered to have the Senate take
a vote on Senator Helms resolution
asking the Senate to condemn the treat
ment accorded him after making a

Senator Helm however said he wanted
TO talk on the resolution little longer.
A vote later was denied the ALBANIAN
by Senator Watson.

because 100 per cent. Catholics 90 not

did not believe in religious freedom, be-
cause the church prohibits the mar

Think of it, Senators" Hefiin
shouted children unborn must be
brought up in the Catholic faith. Talk
about religious freedom. Why, the
Catholics recognize no freedom Of re-

''I am not opposed to religious free

position is that Catholics should come
in and observe our institutions and be
like the rest of us"

for supporting a resolution at one time
calling upon the Secretary of State to
*protect an American newspaper man
who had been deprived of his rights by
Great Britain in Egypt"
