She looked at him.
: ''I've been thinking and making
a lot Of plans since left here"
He hesitated an instant, looking
into her eyes. Then he continued:
There's two or three years of
work down in Boyd and the neigh
boring counties just surveying the
land the iron works companies are
buying up. They're putting up an
other blast furnace and nail mill.

nice houses in big yards. Then the

river hill. And about halfway up
there is little house in cherry
and apple orchard with garden
behind it. It's painted white and
has a wide porch and there are
three sets of steps up from the
street. You look right out over the
town and the treetops to the Ohio
river and where the Big Sandy
comes around West Virginia, and
across to the farms in Ohio all the
way back to the hills. You can see
the big boats on the river, and the
little ones on the Big Sandy and
the RATS that come floating down
both rivers. There's a new steam

The coming Of Reuben seemed to
break into the fixed mood Of So
lemnity that had settled over the
house since Sparrel's death. Some
times at the supper, without forget
ting the dead, they almost recap
tured the excitement Of the spring
before. And after they had talked
over in hushed words all the story
of the past weeks, it did not seem
inappropriate to think Of them
selves and to mention other places.
The sun continued through the
following day, the warmth flowing
down the hollows.

"You said you would come back

Cup to the rock by the syca-

They went by the desolate gar
den which had been full Of Julia's
flowers last July, and came to the
stone where they had first sat to-
gether. The sun lay warm on the
stone. The brown pods on the syc-
amore tree tangled in the wind at
the end Of yellowing limbs barren
Of leaves.
1T seems like she ought to be
there in the garden" Reuben said.
"You thought that, too?" Cynthia
cried.
Eyes. I have thought of this
place often," he said.
II have not been here SINCE" she
said, "but I have thought myself
here. Do you believe some places
like this-get to be a part of-of
what two people are to each other?"
eyes, Cynthia. This place will
always be you and me-"
She looked full at him seriously
for an instant, knowing by his voice
and his eyes that they were speak
ing the same language in the same
world. She had never before, even
in her dreams of Lady Arabella
and the pear tree, been more radi-
ant, as though this moment were
the appointed one for the unfolding
of the essential woman out of sor-
row into happiness. They were
leaning against the stone, silent. He
slipped his arm around her waist.
She did not withhold herself, and
she was half startled at the
thought Of her forwardness. He held
her left hand in his, and with his
right hand she brushed at the moss
on the stone. She felt herself be-
ing reborn, almost trembling and
in awe before the smile Of God
which changed the world so soon
since yesterday.
"It's wonderful to see you again."

the top of Cranesnest, listening to
his voice and making her own I'M

said. 1--WE thought about that. So

share now, Cynthia"
She had never talked to anyone
of her grief. Now she was over
come by the moment, by her feel
ings and his sympathy, and she un-
loosed to him all that had been
tight in her heart so long: the sick
ness and quick death of Julia.

rode fast down Wolfpen. Cynthia,
alone, watched the jostling lantern
disappear in the cold night. Then
she turned and went back through
the yard to the square of light in
the open door. "Women always
must sit and wait and suffer while
the menfolk get relief in doing
something" she sobbed at the door.
The house was deathly silent. She
dropped into the chair by the
smoldering logs and began the long
waiting.
Time was no longer going on. 1t

ing for it to move on, felt the hys-
terra of being imprisoned in an ar

against it. She put log on the

Police Integrity
No Subject for
Argument

Edwin L. HaStry, who described
himself as a New York banker,
today was warned by Judge Ed
ward M. Curran in Police Court
not to question the integrity of
a washington policeman in uni
form.
Policeman Arley L.. Keith of
the Third Precinct, who arrested
Hastry on April rs, told the judge
that a citizen had turned over
to him one of the $4,000 can
celed Treasury notes such as
were reported missing after the
Post Office fire several months
ago. The notes have no value.
While showing the note to a
friend in a restaurant, he said,
Hastily came over and told him
he had no right to such a note.
He called the Interior Depart
ment, the Secret Service and sew
eral others, the officer said, and
then the policeman, took him into
custody on the intoxication
charge.

of the group, revealed today that
she will recommend a new pro.

The chairman suggested that
consideration of the bills which

Under the present system, every

mittee is turned over by Mrs.
Norton to one of the standing
subcommittee of the group for

Many Of the bills which have
gone to the subcommittee have
not seen the light Of day due only
to the fact that the subcommittee
chairmen have failed to call meet
ings of their respective groups to
consider the measures and hold
hearings on them.
Mrs. Norton said that next Ses-
sion she will inaugurate a system
under which all matters will be
brought directly before the full
committee for hearings and exec

to which bills will be heard and

against the revenue act Of 1884.
The jury was quickly qualified
before District Supreme Court Jus

The second count Of the two
count indictment against the Army

len accepted $500 from the man
ganese company for the express
purpose Of defeating the additional
levy on imported manganese.
Attorney william E. Leahy. who,
with william j. Hughes, jr., is con-
Quoting the defense, told the jury
in his opening statement he will
show that the $500 retainer has
nothing to do with Colonel Nc
Mullen's opposition to the man
ganese tax, but was payment for
services to be performed in the
future.

differences with the House con.

dicated a continuing resolution
may become necessary.
Taking the House floor, shortly
after that body met. Representa-
tive Tom Blanton CD of Texas,
chairman of the House subcom.
mittee on the District Supply
bill, called the attention of the
Speaker to press reports of Sena'
tor Thomas announcement.
No Precedent Found
The Texan asked the Speaker
whether there is any precedent fol
such an assertion on the part Of
Senate conferees before a confer.
ence is held.
Speaker Byrns replied that he
did not know of any, but suggested
that the situation might be
Strengthened out when the con
ferees hold their first session.
The Texan declared that if Sen.
ator Thomas stood on his asSer.
ton ut would be futile for us to
have a conference unless we agree
to accept the Senate amendment.
Senator Thomas was quoted as
saying:
There will not be any fight
in conference over the District
appropriation bill. Either we
will reach an agreement or we
will pass a continuing reSOlu.
ton"
CONFERENCE DELAYED
Senator Thomas said he had
been in touch with one of the
House managers and found that
because there was a primary to
morrow in the State of one of the
House managers, it would be i'm
possible to hold the conference un
til later in the week. He said:
81 hope to get a conference
this week. l think things will be
worked out and the District will
get a good bill.
I'VE of the Senate expect to
take q determined stand. We
will meet to agree on certain
items. AS to the others we will
remain firm. If we cannot get
the House to accept them then
We will pass q continuing resO.
luton"
Although Senator Thomas did
not make known just which items
the Senate conferees expect to
stand pat on and which they would
be inclined to compromise with
the House, it is generally believed
that the lump sum is one they will
hold out for and that the health
item in the bill is another.
Likewise if the Senate stands by
its determination to strike out the
legislative riders in the bill and the
House does not agree, continuing
resolution would wipe them out, as
they were not in effect last year.
