As there are seventy-two Sen- ate committees, there are only twen- ty-four Senators who necesMrily have to spend thelr stationery allow- ance. On the House side there is a large number who searcely make a dent in It. Instead they*“sponge” on some friend who has a committee and who receives free stationery, Sending telegrams at government experse is another much abused privilege. The frank, of course, Is not Intended to be used for other than official telegrams, but the line of demarcation is so thin that the government pays for thousands of dollars’ worth of messages each year that under a fair construction of the rules would be charged to the per- sonal! account of members. Recently the abuse among : members of the “free telezram” be came so manifest that the House Committee on Accounts had to take drastic action to check it. Some 200 members had messages returned to them that were piainly personal business and which had been put in under the government — franking privileze. One member from the Southwest sent a messag: ven feet jong and charged it to the govern- ment. ‘There is apparently little effort to keep the size of official telegrams within bounds, Since the Accounts Committee got busy’ eliminating per sonal messages charged to the gov- snment, the telegraph bill of the House has been reduced from ap- proximately $10,000 to $3,000 pe month, Instances have been reported where members have — invented “codes” for messagés to and from thelr families to give them thé ap- pearance of “official” communica tions. At present there is a situation tha, {s causing More concern to member than the high cgst of living or any other question before Congress, and that is the Inability of the. Govern ment printing office to secure news print paper for speeches. The Gov ernment prints speeches fors Con- sreasmen at cost, orjabout one-fourth regular commercial — printing es, Orders from members for campaign speeches are piling up in the office of the Public Printer. This is regarded hare as one of the gravest crises that has yet arisen. The cost of printing the speeches outwide in the afantities desired is regarded as prohibitive by the average member. —— KROHNBERG TRIAL DELAYED.

Unless Wall Street is mistaken, the credit stringency will be a matter of financial history be- fore long. Call money is now in plen- tiful supply, a noticably larger amount of time money is making its appearance and as the transportation tie-up {s now gradually being over- come, a large amount of frozen credit will be freed and the credit strain on corporations will be lightened, The call rate to-day was 6 per cent.

Delighted at what he fondly thought was his capture of the masked beauty, Hamilton Broge had car was ovephauled by the police and searched. Outside of this the professor's duty was to escort Madam Madcap to the cafe every evening. There she would meet and dance With Hamilton Brone, who was rapidly becomtng infatuated with her, Lionel Waldron and Mel- kington, his friends, argued with him but In vain. Brone, although married, had lost his head ‘entirely over the dazzling adventuress. She was a sensation, of course. De- votees of the bright lights were whis- pering about the mysterious masked woman who appeared at the cafe every night, and it was an open scan- da} that Hamilton Brone was infatu- ated, and Melkington also. Lionel Waldron still talked to Brone on occasion, but to no effect. Their last interview had almost ended in fisticuffs, and Waldron had devided te leave Brone alone. But he knew Rrone's wife, having been a rejected suitor, and respected her enough to want to save Brone from moking @ fool of himself in public. A So it happened that, on a certain evening, Madam Madcap and the Pro- fessor had no more than settled them- selves comfortably at their usual table when Melkington appeared at their table. fi c “T am going to speak very fran.ly, madam,”"he said. “There ts a cer- tain gentleman infatuated with you. Ti not say you have been encourag- ing him, but he does not need much enconramement.” “T have talked with Mr. Brone & fow times, and danced with him once or twice,” said the woman, “You have started in to captivate the man, are doing It deliberately.” Melk- ington accused, “Surely you 1ust know that he is marrled—and rich. “Then it is a question of her pride being bruised?" Madam Madeap asked. “I suppose tt 1s commendable of you to have this interview vith me, but really T cannot see that It anv of your business.” “pre bank of folfhee and bloom he- hind the taple parted, and Hamilton Prone stepped up to the table. “You're right—it isn't any of b's pusiness!" he said. eee niried with asnart like that of an angry heast, a drunken, nasty fnarl that showed the man’s true Pharacter as nothing else could have done. “You'd Ike to have me go away, wouldn't you?” he sneered. “Like to get me away and try to get ahead o1 me with the lady who wears the mask, eh?

He trembled with rage and he took a step nearer the table when he spoke ‘IL get you for that!” he snarled. “You can't insult me in public and get away with It!” He whirled around and was gone. Brone looked after him, still sneering. “sit down, Hamilton!” Madam Mad- cap said, quickly, “Do you want then, to order me out of the cafe?” Tt was the first time Madam Mad can hod used his given name and thrilled Brone, He sank tnto the nearest chair and bent toward her. “So-called friends always putting in an oar!” he said. ‘Don't let it Madcap said. nnoy you?

He imagained that there was a quick sting in his wrist and he moved it languidly, Madam Madcap gave a sigh of re- lief and put the hypodermic needle away. Hamilton Brone started to totter forward and she thrust him back into the corner of the car. His head dropped; his form relaxed Sambo drove on. This time Sambo did not stop at the curb, but turned the big limousine into alley and ran along it until the car was opposite the little door, There he stopped the machine and sprang down, He glanced up and down the alley and then opened the door.
