Senator Dillon started he asked where the bill relating to the right of women to vote for presidential eldctors was at present? Lieutenant Governor Wilson said he understood that the bill was in thei office of the secretary of state, to whom it had been given by the clerk of the house. Lieutenant Governor Wilson added that in hi spinoion the bill should have been sent back to the| senate by the house instead of being! filed in the office of the secretary of| state. Senator Dillon moved that the clerk of the senate wait on the clerk of the house for the purpose of obtaining possession of the biil. “Which clerk?” ed Senator Klett. “The clerk whose duty it is to give up the bill” replied Senator Dillon. After some discussion it was decided to instruct the clerk of the nate to wait on the clerk of the house apd ob- tain the bill.

His street elothes had been whisked off, out of sight, and a apeless bed beckoned enticingly to him. “If you don't mind,” came a voice from a large, grizzly individual, whom Ister he learncd was Dr. Foster, the famous bone specialist, ' “before lying down, I'll make a few tests.” d He bent over and whacked the knee just below the kneecap. Things hap- pened in s rush after that. Chase's leg swung into the air with a mighty force, # kicked the tray which a voung nurse the ice-coatec later foll i “stars” his brain He woke up in a smal; OMMY did not know 3 what the word trag- edy meant, but he felt vaguely that tomething was wrong over at the Wenwarth's. It had all hapymed since i morning, for when + Mr. Ted ieft the house ar & o'clack, Temmy had seen him wave happily to Mrn. Ted, who stood smiling in the parlor window. Tommy himself inside the high iren railing had received a cordial salute. “Hells, old chap,” Mr. Ted had cailed, 1 know somebody that's going to get a basebail tonight Better pick your team toduy.” And Tormmy caflled back, “I've got’em all picked and I'm going to pitch.” “Bully,” called his friend, hurrving awny for his ogr, while Temmy with 50 other Httle boys was called in to lessons. But he didn't get the ball for, as 1 said, something happened that day. Mr. was holding* in too close proximity; thermometer, glass vial, everything went shivering to the floor. Dr. Fos- ter turned upon the girl in wrath. “Get out! Send me a responsible nurse, Report to the matron.” “Oh, I say” exclaimed Chase, stirred by the white face, the anguiched eyes of the nurse. “Don’t blame her. It's my fault—and yours. world did you do that?” “Merely a test for paralysis,” grum- bled the docter, running a rod along the bottom of Chase’s foot, which made him crumble up inside like a clam pulling in its long nose. “Your nerves are all right. Just a fracture of the bone, evi- dently. ' 1f you will clean up, Miss Peele, we'll get Mr. Chase into bed and leave him in your carc. Last chance!” After Chase had recovered from the exertion of being moved again, he called the little nurse to him and noticed that her eyes were red and swollen. “Why do you stand for it?” he asked abruptly. “What else can T do? Besides he had a right to be cross. 1t's my second of- fence” Why in the “How’s that?” “This morning I placed a glass of bo- racic acid on the table beside his pet pa- tient's bed, while I attended to some- thing clse.

If I had the mon- ey, my first purchase would be ene for kis very own.” “He'll have if,” Chase said, and then, because his own paift was almost too great to bear, he fell back on the pillow and. ground his teeth, and wished that he knew a verse about courage, for he felt urgently in need of one. “Buy Mr. knee had been X-rayed, operated upen and placed im a cast, Amy Peele moved in and out of the private room like 2 watchful angel, her hopeful philosophy appealing strongly to the man who had been too busy to bother about women. “Where are the children?” he asked one morning when the knee had got to the state of constant massage. “I keep hearing voices of childrén.” “Just around the corner; broken legs and arms, peor tots.’ “You'd like to do something for them, Tl wager.” ) “I would!

So the daps passed ; the man aiming to keep the light of - glory in the girl's glowing face, the nurse secking the brightening of countenance among the sick and suffering. Chase was able to g6 aroung in a wheel chair when the coup de grace came. A square-chinned, angular nurse attended him. "Where's Amy Peele?” he queried anmiously. “In another ward, sir” *“But T've got to have her Where's the matron? ’ The matron came. She listened to Chase in silence, and then remarked caustically: “We can't disarrange our schedules for any patient, Mr. Chasc Besides, your acquaintance with Amy.is for no good.

Other men might Wentworth came home at noon and aft- er a while hurried away, angrily banging the deor with a terrific force that almost shattered the glass, never even noticing the little boy across the street. After a while Mrs. Ted started down the street with a suitcase as though she might be going somewhere on a. train. She was crying, or had been, Tommy could see in spite of the veil she wore. Now Tommy was pretty sure that Mrs. Ted was crying because Mr. Ted had been cross. As a rule he was so kind to her that some of the bigger boys called him “spoony,” - which Tommy didn’t like. Ever since the night they had come over and asked the head ma- tron if they could borrow Tommy: for a little while, bad taken him for ice cream and brought him home and played their music box for him, he had been their staunch champion. That . night -Mr. Wentworth had said he wisHed he had a little boy like him and wouldn't he call him Uncle Ted. So be did after that. e The boys romped and played in their side of the big yard after school, but Tommy managed to keep an eye on the brick house. Would Mrs. Ted come home again and would Uncle Ted be glad to see her? But the afternoon waned and supper time came, still the house across the street was desertd. Tommy ate little and the story before bed time, although it was about a giant with seven heads, had no interest for him. After he was in bed, the middle one in a row of tweive, his brain was busy trying to solve the perplexing mys- tery across the street. Slowly he went cver the events of the morning. Some- thing had happened between eight and twelve to cause the trouble. But what? He hadn't scen anybody go in. He could just see over the window sill in the school room, and he generally: knesy of visitors, Then he remembered! One- cyed Mike, a dealer in old clothes, had gone to the back door and came sround presently with an armful of things. Tommy knew Mike of old. His shop fpas on the corner of the alley wherc ommy had lived before he came to the He was dishonest, Tommy knew, and the little boy stirred uneasily. Could Mike have had anything to do with the trouble? home. He was up early and out in the yard playing. He watched his chance, and when' the-postman came and left the gate open Tommy ped out and down the street as hard as he could tear. Mr. Ted had been long time that cuspicious for a Mrs. Ted was getting discontented with being poor and iear- ing the same clothes two scasons and doing without a maid and (hq:nr tick- ets. She had never said so but he was growing more certain by the minute that she was unhappy. Lately she had re- minded him that he neceded a new suit himself. “Got five,” he had protested. “But_they're all shabby, dear.” “They'll do till fali if they're clcaned and pressed. new one now.” He really meant to get things in the fall, and = for her, too. He has been givén-a neat little bonus, and with wise investing felt that his-worst days were over. But he had been afraid to say so —things might not utrn out right. That was the morning he had prom- ised Tommy a ball, and the morning Mike had gotten the clothes. Marjorie, Mrs. Ted, thinking things over, decided that if her hushand did not have old things to put on he would have to buy new ones. She had many things to learn. So Mike got three suits of her husband's for a dolar apiece. And then! Ted came home and the first thing he did was to go to his wardrobe to get his wallet out of the blue suit with the pin stripe. But mot . cniy ‘was the suit gone, pin stripe and all, but the wallet with the bonus and all hope for future prosperity. Then trouble came .in and took pes- session of the house. We know the rest. I can't bother getting a forget, but he—never! “Teil Miss Peele to come here” he urged the nurse. “Impossible. It's not allowed. Be sides, she’s on night duty.” “Get her here for five minutes night and ‘T'll give you $500.” The nurse glared ;reedily at her p-- tient, and though - she said nothing Chase was satisfied.. That night Amy, sweet, pale, nervous, stood at the door *I shouldn’t be here. Only a mo- ment—" she began . “I won't keep you long. Amy, 1 fove you.” “Yes, Mr. Chase” very low; her eyes fell. “Amy, I want you to marry me.” Still lower: “Yes, Mr, Chase.” “Amy,” the man held out his hand % her, “do you love me a Tittle Bit?” And still softer, but distinct enough so that he could hear: “Yes, Mr.—Ed- win.” Then she made a sudden movement toward the bed. The big arms wrapped around her.and their ‘lips nret. A few minutes later 2 radiantly hap- py nurse sped down the corridor. Her voice was Tommy arrived at the alley about noon. It was much farther than he thought and he had lost his way twice He limped wearily over the rough stones to the small, dirty shop at the corner only to find the door locked and no one at home. He kaocked again and again, but no one came. He was very tired and hungry. Every one around ‘was strange, toa. His oid friends hadl moved away.
