Of the fifty submarines authorized forty-seven will be of the coast de- fense type and three will be ocean- going submersibles of the 800-ton type. About a score of democrats joined the republicans in voting for a larger number of submarines. The vote was taken in committee of the whole, where a rollcall cannot be ordered, but the minority believe the subma- rine amendment will stay in the bill on its final passage in the hou Secretary Daniels was a visitor upon the house floor during the compara- tively brief debate on the naval bud- get this afternoon. He was present when the members recorded their vote by tellers forfifty submarines. The amendment sponsored by the republicans to authorize two dread- noughts was defeated, 130 to 114. The bill makes no provisions for dread- noughts, but author the construc- tion of five battle cruisers. After the defeat of the motion to appropriate for two battleships the minority endeavor- ed to provide for six instead of five battle cruise: This amendment was defeated, 109 to 83. Other amendments offered by Rep- resentative -Butler, ranking republi- can of the naval affairs committee, to increase the building program as car- ried in the democratic bill, were re- ecjted on viva voce votes. These amendments included proposals for two additional scout cruisers, twenty- eight in lieu of ten destroyars, and two fuel ships in lieu of the one recom- mended by the majority. The repub- licans also sought to add to the build- ing program one transport, one supply ship, one destroyer tender, and one re- pair ship After winning a victory on the sub- marine amendment, which was carried amid cheers on the republican side, the minority did not force a vote by tellers on amendments relating to other auxiliary vessels. Padgett Leads Opposition. Chairman Padgett of the naval af- fairs committee earnestly fought op- position for an authorization of more than twenty submarines. els,” he said, ‘“‘may be if they are needed. There is no necessity for loading up this bill with an appropriation for fifty subma- rines “Have we not submarines at present than Germany had when she entered the war?"” asked Representa- tive Hensley of Missouri, who is op- posed to a large na “We have,” said Mr. Padgett. Opposing the minority amendment for six battle cruisers, Mr. Padgett charged that the republicans of the committee had originally been for five cruisers, but boosted their program to six when they ascertained the demo- crats would propose five. Mr. Butler attempted to gain recognition to ans- wer this charge, but the limit of time for debate on the paragraph had been reached. Mr. Padgett further insisted _that the building authorized in the pending naval bill would put the United States navy ahead of Germany despite op- position claims that an opportunity to go Into second place had been sacri- ficed in the democratic bill. With the completion of the propos- ed program,” said Mr. Padgett, ‘“our navy in broadside fire will be superior to that of Germany, although in the aggregate of ships it may not be large. The five cruisers we authorize will be superior to the eight which Germany had at the beginning of the v r and since that time we have heard that she has sold one to Tur- key.” more Among the democrats who voted for the two-dreadnought arrangement were Representatives Coady, Mar: land; Driscoll and Farley, New York; Sherley, Kentueky; Stone, Illinois; Ta- gue, Massachusetts; Gallagher, McAn- drews -~ and McDermott, Illinois; O'Shaunes Rhode Island; Price, Maryland, and Dupre, Louisiana.

Are you sure that clock is not too fast?

Are you sure they said the train was on time?” turning to Miss Sonnot. “Not only on time, returned the nurse. “all them up again, the elder Mrs. Graham abruptly. ' “They must mistake. The train must Nothing else would keep from coming straight to me there has been an accident.” 1 turned to the telephone again, cured a connection with the railroad office, and was assured in no uncer- tain tones that the 1 5 train which Harriet had wired Dicky to meet had Leen in the station an hour, “The train has been in an hour.” T made my voice as careless ag possible, but I was a trifle worried myself cver the possibility of an accident to Dicky and the relatives he had gone te meet. My mother-in-law had been gerously ill. Her daughter had been unable to came to her bedside on ac- count of her own illness. Now that she had arrived in the city it did not seem possible that she would let any trivial matter keep her from her mother. Calculating all ordinary delays the travelers aught to have Deen in the house a half-hour. “Oh, Missis Graham, vot I do to dot lunch? My stuff all be spoiled, T know, and T feex so-o nice. You tink something terrible happen?” Katie’s wail had one happy effect, tkat of changing my mother-in-law's snxiety to anger. ‘Go back to your kitchen at once,” she said coldly, “and do the best you can with your luncheon. You ought to know w of keeping the food in but arrived,” Margaret,"” commanded have made a be late. Harriet unless se- dan- Haruord, (Onm‘ Natlonal Bank Bldg.

I tele- graphed her an imploring glance, and she went sullenly out of the room. Miss Sonnot picked up the carafe of water on the table, and followed Katie out, ostensibly for the purpose of refilling the water bottle. But I knew that she had gone to the kitchen to smooth the girl's ruffled plumage for me, and I blessed her thoughtfulness. My mother-in-law chair and shut her eyes. I saw the tears rolling down her cheeks. 1 hurried to her side and touched her shoulder. “I am sure you vourself needlessly,” I said, with a confidence I did not feel muyself. “There may have been some vexa- tions delay about the baggage, or scme colleague of Dr. Braithwaite may have met him and detained him on business. There are a dozen things that could have happened. I ure they will be here very soon lay back in her are distressing She did not answer, but she did not repulse me, something for which I was grateful. As the clock the minutes I myself. Surely, inexorably ticked off began to feel anxious with an ordinary de- lay, Dicky would have telephoned. Miss Sonnot quietly brought a tiny glass of wine and some crackers to her patient, and firmly insisted that she take them. Then w 1 three sat waiting with our vague fears. How They Met. A taxicab whirred to the street en- trance below and stopped. I sprang fo my feet and rushed to the door of the apartment. Were Dicky and his sister on the stairs, or was there a message of disaster on its way to me? In another moment I.heard Dick cheerful tones, and caught my first glimpse of his dreaded relatives. A kindly giant—this was the im- pression I received of the celebrated surgeon coming up the stairs behind Dicky, who had Dicky ter on his arm. 1 only had time to notice that n.y sister-in-law was a handsome woman possessing more than she liked of “‘too, too solid flesh” before they reached the top of the stairs. ““This is my wife, Harriet,”” Dicky announced as he reached the door. I do not suppose I shall ever get over thrilling at the note of tender pride which Dicky’s volce holds when he introduces me. “How do you do.” Harriet's voice was friendly enough, but her smile was perfunctory, and her eyes keenly appraised me as she took the hand I held out to her in greeting. As she dropped it, with a hurried question, “Where is Mother?” I felt that she had classified me, ticketed me, and carefully laid me away for future reference. Dicky’'s mother had be- gun our acquaintance with a violent prejudice against me, a prejudice which had since softened. I had strong hopes of sometime winning her love. But his sister, I could se would always preserve the same att tude toward me, a good-natured in- difference which would never soften into affection, but, on the other hand, would never harden into dislike. “Edwin Needs Me.” “Harriet!” My mother-in-law's voice quavered on the word as she came unsteadily forward into the living room, Miss Sonnot hovering discreetly in the door of the bedroom. “Mother!"” Mrs, Braithwaite rustled torward and took her mother into her arms. Dicky turned to the big man at his side. “My wife, Bdwin. Madge, are you prepared to hold your breath in reverence? This is your brother-in- law, the celebrated, the distinguished, the noted, the famous, the eminent “Get your thesaurus, Dicky, vou'll run out of words with another treath.” Dr. Braithwaite gave him a push, and took my hand “You look as if you had heard this mad man rant before.

Will you go to your room first come to see Mother Graham ?” “1 will see Mother Graham at once if you please As for your hospital- ity, T am afraid that much as it grieves us, we shall have to forego it, But T will let my wife explain.’ I followed him into the bedroom where Harriet and her. mother: had disappeared, wondering what he or My mother-in-law suffered hid kiss and embrace, then | facd stormily. “See here, Bdwin,” she said peratively as if he were an boy instead of a surgeon pation-wide reputation. “Whi this nonsense of Harriet's She tells me you are not gi stay here at all, that you e your luncheon before you 'ca I felt a little throb of gullf at the thought that I would n to undergo the week’s strain o taining these critical relati Dicky’s.
