VICTORIOUS IN
SENATE FIGHT.
Succeed In Presenting Bill De-
spite Bitter Attack By G. o. P.
Opponents.
RECESS UNTIL MONDAY
Administration Averts Party
Break By Agreeing To Accept
Amendments.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April %. U.Pj-
The administrators initiation bill
was placed before the senate today
In the midst of bitter party dispute
which brought admissions of de-
feat from the Republican anti-in-
flation bloc.
The senate recessed until Mon
day after Senator Thomas, Dem,
Okla, offered thei nflation measure
as a rider 20 the pending farm re-
lief bill. Thomas will speak on the
bill when debate begins after the
weekend recess.
Attacks and counter-assaufts pre-
ceded formal presentation of the
amendment. The Mellon Mills-Reed
bloc was defeated on every front.
They've got the generals; we've
got the privates," Thomas said. Re-
publican Leader Smell of the house,
leading the anti-inflation fight
there, conceded eventual defeat for
his forces.
An agreement to amend the mea-
sure to include a provision for free
coinage of silver at a ratio to be
fixed by President Roosevelt COM
prised one of the controversial pha-
! ses of the measure.
Senator Byrnes, DEM, S. c., un-
qualifiedly denied reports that pre-
sident Roosevelt had agreed to
modification of the administration
initiation bill to limit his power to
reduce the value of the gold dol
lar in such way that no reduc-
ton could be made except by in
ternational agreement.
/ Senators Reed, Repn., Pa, and
Smell continued attacks on the In
flation program, but were met by
hot counter accusations that the
mellon Mills Reed forces were try
ing to wreck the administration
of President Roosevelt"
Reed appealed to the American
people to voice their opinions on
the proposed initiation.
UNLESS America wakes up" he
said, "and lets senators and con-
gressmen know how they feel about
this thing it is likely to be passed"
WASHINGTON, April Coon
promise was rea Ihed today on sill
yer features of the administration
initiation bill which threatened for
a time to split the Democratic par
ty in the senate and lead to pro-
longed and bitter dispute.

From the American point of view
speed is highly desirable in deal

CHAPTER TWO

LIE stared down at her long
4 l. dashed, sullen-Iooking, eyes
lighted from within. "Hello!" he
said lightly.
Monnie shrank back. The greet
ing was casual, as though he had
been gone day or a week, instead
of almost year. Her pride rose.
She took her cue from him, shrug-
ging herself out of his prisoning
fingers.
Mice to see you," she said coolly,
trying to deny the sick torment his
arrival had stirred within her
when did you get back?"
Dams gaze shifted. He Sauntered
to the little bay window which
looked out on the lawn. Red geran-
iums bloomed there in an old-faSh-
Toned wire stand.
Dan fixed mis- eyes on this and
mumbled, oh, around noon. I was
busy with the family until just now
Thought I'd crop in and see how
you've been behaving since I left"
He's lying to me-" said Monnie's
traitorous heart Why don't let
him know that I know?'
Aloud she said casually: "Oh, nice
OF you. Kay said at dinner she
thought she'd seen you"
He swung around. His answer
had the Swiftness of a pistol shot.
she did, Ell? I don't see how she
could have. I've been busy as q bird
dog ever since 1 arrived"
Monnie did not look at him. The
old struggle had begun again be-
tween them. Dams constant eva
sions maddened her, whose nature
was simple and honest as the day.
Why don't I let him go, once and
for all?" her inner voice demanded
The struggle to keep Dan in
tereSted, to keep him in love with
her, wearied her. But some strong
compulsions she did not half I'M
derstand made her keep it up.
1t wasn't as if Dan were the only
man who ever had paid attentions
to her. There were half a dozen
in and around Belvedere who would
have been proud and glad to claim
Monica O'Dare-but Dan was the
one she wanted.
Mrs. O'Dare stirred. Her glasses
fell to the floor with a clatter and
she called: who's that you're talk
ing to, Monnie? Did Bill get in
yet?"
The girl was grateful for the in
terruption. An awkward silence like
barrier had grown up between her
and the tall young man in the gray
suit.
It's Dan Cardigan, mother" she
said casually. He knocked, but
we didn't hear, so he came round"
Mrs. O'Dare greeted Dan.
Come out of the kitchen, chill
dren. I was just thinking of light
in a fire in here. 1t will be COSY"
Monnie interrupted, her usually
sweet voice high and strained.
Dan just stopped in to say hello.
He's running along"
Why had she said that, she Won
dered? She didn't want him to go,
and yet here she was giving him a
chance to escape.

"Eustace-that's his name" Kay
confirmed. Charles Eustace What
do you know about him?" she de-
manded. staring Mark down.
Plenty" said Mark Importantly.
Hes o. K, he is. And he doesn't

Kay giggled Mark was irresisti-

HHONNIE scarcely heard them.
wi Kay's brushes" were many
and various. The newcomer, Who
ever he might be, was sure to be all
right if Mark sponsored him. Mark
would know if he were bogus. But
what did all this matter-where was
Dan? Her head began to ache, and
there was a nervous throbbing back
Of her eyes.
Wen do the dishes, mother" she
said. Kay and l. You go and lie
down"
Mrs. ODare pushed her gently
aside. Nonsense, when you've
changed your dress and freshened
up"
Monnie set her jaw. I'm going to
wash dishes tonight. Nothing shall
stop me-"
She put a big checked apron on
over the faded linen. She took the
dishpan from its nail, filled it with
warm soapy water. With vigor she
sloshed the cups and saucers in and
out, finding in the homely task some
surcease from her pain. She could
be useful, anyway, even if Dan
didn't want her.
Lost in daydream, she went
through her work. She would work
hard, she would earn enough to take
them all away from Belvedere.
Years later, busy, successful and
happy, she would return.
She would see an old, tired
looking man on Main street. Some
one would say, There's Monica
ODare, the famous author, actress,
singer" The man would look up,
his grim features working with emo
ton. He would mutter, MY Mon
ME. And lost her, fool that
was" 1t would be Dan, tired, bro
ken, disappointed.
She sluiced the drainboard with
fresh water, wrung out her cloth
with an expert motion. Kay had
finished the last of the silver, had
fitted upstairs. Through the half
open door, Monnie could see her
mother doing over the evening pa
per in the bay window. Evening
had settled down over the little
town. The yard looked melancholy,
the lilacs sent their fragrance
through the dusk.
AS the girl turned to put out the
light she heard a firm step on the
side porch. Her first thought was
that it was Bill, returning early.
She went to the screen door.
Amber eyes stared up at the man
who stood without.
Il rang at the front several
times" he said quietly. "I guess no
one heard"
Monnie managed to control the
tremor in her voice as she answered
him. Come in, Dan," she said
softly.
He was back, and he hadn't for
gotten her!
