Zelda Dameron is the typical American girl of the hour. She is something more - a dutiful daughter who sinks all her own individuality in protecting and elevating a miserly , and later a speculating father , whom she wins to the higher life of . true manhood by her noble self-sacrifice There is a war flavor to this charming story , a college tinge , .nd Western-Southern characteristics that will fasci- nate the reader. The hero is a type of the ambitious young man of the day , -aspiring lawyer , chivalrous and honor- able in his dealings with all mankind. This story is a series of vivid life pictures. You will , find no unnatural coloring to its settings , no actors in the i rapid life drama that you will not recognize as strikingly I natural. ' "Zelda Dameron" is sure to meet your approbation as a bright , wholesome story .to-day , full of sparkling in cident and a coherent progressive plot that will interest all readers. . . . -m : * EESHSSHH- CHAPTER I. "She's like Margaret : ; she's really one of us , " remarked Mrs. : Forrest to her brother. "She carries herself as Margaret did in her girlhood , and she's dark , as we all are. " "I hope she's escaped the Dameron traits : they're unattractive , " said Rod ney Merriam. Mrs. Forrest and Zelda Dameron , her piece , who were just home from a five years' : absence abroad , had , so to speak , stepped directly from the train into Mrs. Carr's drawing-room. The place was full of women , old and young , and their animated talk blended. Mrs. Carr was forcing the season a trifle-it was near the end of Septem- ber-but the dean of a famous college for women had come to town unex- pectedly , and it was not Mrs. Carr's way to let heat or cold interfere with her social inclinations. Mrs. Forrest and her brother had ceased talking to watch their niece. The girl's profile was turned to them , and the old gen- tleman noted the good points of her face and figure. She was talking to several other girls , and it seemed to him that they showed her a deference. Zelda turned from her companions suddenly. She crossed swiftly to her uncle with a happy exclamation : "This is indeed an occasion ! Be- hold my long-lost uncle ! " She seized his hands eagerly. "And you are Zelda-our little Zee ! " "Quite that ! We must be acquaint- ed ! Perhaps we 'shall be friends , who knows ? Aunt Julia promised to ar- ange it-and I'm not used to being . disappointed. " Zelda was a name that had been ' adopted in the Merriam : family long ago. A great many people had never known that old Roger Merriam's wife's name was Zelda , so generally was Zee applied to her even in her old age. Margaret Dameron's child had been called Little Zee while her grandmother lived , and until her aunt had taken her away ; and now , on her reappearance in Mariona , she was quite ' ' naturally spoken of at Zee Damron. There was a wistfulness in the girl's eyes that touched Rodney Merriam by the suggestion of her dead mother , the sister that had been the pride of the Merriams. Mrs. Forrest watched her brother curiously. She had speculat- ed much about this meeting. Rodney Merriam was away from home a great I deal. He had reached Mariona : at noon I from a trip into Canada , and had gone to Mrs. Carr's in pursuit of his sister. Mrs. Forrest understood perfectly that her brother had come to Mrs. Carr's tea chiefly that he might casually , and without apparent interest. inspect his niece. Rodney Merriam was wary of entanglements with his relatives. He and Mrs. Forrest were , it was said in Mariona , the only Merriams who could safely be asked to the same table , or who * were not likely to cause embar- rassment if they met anywhere. He had not spoken to Ezra Dameron , Zel- da's father'for ten years , and the name Dameron was an offense in his nos- trils ; but the girl was clearly a Mer riam ; she was the child of his favor- ite sister , and he hoped it would be possible to like her. "Yes we shall be friends-much more than friends , " he said , kindly. "You must come and see me ; Aunt Julia has graduated me , and I'm back : on my native heath to stay. " "Come and tell me what you have learned in distant lands-and I'll tell you what to forget ! Here's Morris Leighton ; I want you to know him , Zee , " said Rodney Merriam. Mcrriam moved away through the crowd , followed by his sister. "You know Uncle Rodney very well , don't you ? " said Zelda to Leighton. "He was always my : hero. When I was a little girl I used to sit on a trunk in his q . rr ( ' t and watch him fence with a G , vriau fencing master. It was great fun. . "I sometimes fence with Mr. Mer- riam myself. I assure you that his hand and ' eye have not lost their cun- ning" . alorrls ! Leighton's social adventures had not lacked variety.

Rodney Merriam had often spoken to Leighton of Zelda Damer- on's home-coming. Zelda Dameron's return to Mariona : was more of an event than she herself understood. The Merriams were an : interesting family ; they were , indeed , one of the first families. There were Merriams about whom people laughed cynically ; but Mrs. Forrest did not be- long to this faction , nor did Rodney Merriam , of whom most people stood in awe. There had been much specu- lation , in advance of Zelda's coming , as to her probable course when she should return to Mariona : with her aunt. Many had predicted that she would not go to live with her father- that Mrs. Forrest and Rodney Mer riam would save her from that ; but Zelda was already domiciled in her father's house. Mrs. Forrest led her brother to an alcove of Mrs. Carr's library , and sent him to bring a cup of tea to her there. She was afraid to wait for a better opportunity ; she must take advantage of his first impression at once. He brought what was offered at the buffet in the dining-room , and gave her his serious attention. "This isn't quite the place I should have chosen for a reunion after three years , " he began : "Where was it I saw you last ? Geneva ? I believe it was. The girl is very handsome. I suppose you found your house in good order. And Zee went with you with- out any trouble. That's as it should be. " "But , Rodney , she isn't with me ! She has gone to her father ; she wouldn't have it any other way. " "Oh ! I'll fix that , I'll get her away from him. Now that you've given her to him , I suppose ; I'll have to take a hand , " said Merriam , with frank dis pleasure. "I'll have to renew my ac- quaintance with that blackguard. I really suppose I'll have to call on him , or I might meet him accidentally , in the street , or at the bank. I might make a study of his habits and then lie in wait. I should like to give an acci- dental air to the meeting , to save my self-respect as far as possible. " "I suppose I might give a reconcilia- tion dinner , " she said. "We might as well go into it deep while we are about it. " I Merriam shrugged his , shoulders. 'Don't push too fast. I don't remember Ezra as a good dinner man. " "I'll take you home if you're ready , " said Mrs. Forrest , when , after some further talk , they returned to the drawing-room. "Zelda's father is com- ing for her. " "Thanks ; but I'm going to walk down with Leighton , if I can find him. " It was nearly 6 o'clock , and a pro- cession of women was coming down the stairs to Mrs. Carr's front door , as Rodney Merriam and Morris Leigh- ton left the house with Mrs. Forrest and Zelda. The waiting carriages made a long line in the street. "How gay it looks ! The old town really has a matropolitan air at last. A tea-with men present-it's almost beyond belief ! " "The town's not so bad , Julia ; and it's a nice comfortable place for one's old age. You'd better get reconciled. " Mrs. Forrest's carriage had drawn up to the curb and Leighton shut her into it. "Be sure to come to my house to- morrow , Zee , " she called to the girl. "Miss Dameron's carriage ! " A shabby vehicle emerged from the line and came forward. Zelda and Leighton were talking animatedly ; and Merriam watched the approaching carriage with interest , standing back from the curb. It was a box-like , closed carriage of an old pattern , drawn by one horse , with the driver mounted on a low seat in front. , Leigh- ton opened the door. "Shall I say home ? " Morris asked , as the girl gathered up her skirts and stepped in. "You needn't trouble yourself , " said the driver , sharply. He was muffled in a heavy coat , though the air T-ras warm , and as the carriage door closed , - ' " , - - . . . . . . _ > , , 'u. ' ; , . . . , J. ' .

"It was her father , " said Merriam * . . CHAPTER II. "The cost of living is high , very high. " "Yes , father ; I know that things cost , of course. " "I have lived on very little while you were away , Zee. With one servant it's possible to keep down expenses. Ser- vants are ruinous. And I'm notf rich , Zee , like your Aunt Julia and Uncle Rodney. " "I want to do just what you would have me do , in everything. It was kind and generous of you to let me stay away so long. I know my ex penses abroad must have been a great tax on you. " Ezra Dameron looked quickly at his daughter. "Yes , to be sure , Zee , to be sure. Mariona is a simple place and your sojourn .abroad has hardly fitted you for our homely ways. You'll find that things are done very differently here. But of course you will accommodate yourself to the conditions' . And you'll find the house quite comfortable. It's a little old-fashioned , but it was your grandfather's , and it rarely happens nowadays that a girl lives in the same house her mother was born in. Of course any little changes that you want to make will be all right ; but you must practice economy. " They were studying each other with a shrewd sophistication on the fath- er's side ; with anxious wonder on the part of the girl. She knew little of her father. Even the memory of her moth- er had grown indistinct. The thing that had always impressed her about her father was his seeming age ; she remembered him from her childhood I as an old man , who came and went on errands which had seemed unrelat- ed to' her own life. The house had stood in a large tract when Zelda went away , but this had shrunk gradually I as Ezra Dameron divided the original Merriam acres and sold off the lots. The front of the homestead was now only a few feet from the new cement walk on what was called Merriam street , in honor of Zelda's grandfath- er. Sun and wind had peeled the paint from the brick walls and the green of the blinds had . faded to a dull nonde- script. "Your aunt probably told you some- thing of your business affairs-of the trusteeship , " he said. "Oh , no ! Aunt Julia never discuss- ed it ; but I remember that she told me once I had some property. I knew nothing more-except that there is A trusteeship-whatever that is ! " And she laughed. "Yes ; it was a very wise idea of your mother's in providing for you. She always maintained her separate estate. She inherited some property from her father. I never touched your mother's property all ; never a cent , " the old man went on. He did not know what Mrs. , Forrest might have told Zelda. He was dropping down his plummet to measure her ignorance' ZQlda knew nothing ; and she cared very little. Her wants had always J."L any trouble on her part. Mrs. Forrest indulged herself , and she had indulged Zelda. Ezra Dameron was wondering just what Rodney Merriam and Mrs. For- rest would expect him to do for the girl. His position as her father had been anomalous ever since his wife died , ten years ago. The Merriams had taken his daughter away from him at once and Chen they had sent her out of the country , and now that they had brought her back he'as not without curiosity as to what their at titude toward him would be. "The trusteeship will not be termi- nated for a year-on your 21st birth- day , unless you should marry before the end of that time. This is always an emergency to look forward toy ; but I trust you will be in no hurry to leav " me. " Zelda laughed abruptly. "It's funny. isn't it-the getting married. I honestly hadn't thought of it before. I don't know any yoifng men. We didn't meet any men abroad except very old ones. Aunt Julia was afraid the young men weren't respect- " able ! "There's nothing like being careful where young men are concerned. There are many bad ones about these days. The temptations of modern life are in- I creasing fast. A young girl can have no idea of them. " ( To be continued. ) Methodical Fishing1. "Jim" McDermit , the lawyer , has a great fund of "darky" dialect stories.

Whether there shall be authorized by the present Ccnress two or onlj one battleship was the subject of a long discussion in the Senate Friday while the naval appropriation bill was under consideration. ' The principal speakers were Senators Clay : , Hale Gallinger. and Burton. It was brought out that the revenues of the presenl fiscal year probably would not equal ] the expenditures and that there would be an increased deficit. The tariff ship subsidy , a lively disputation b& tween Messrs. Ames of Massachusetts , and Payne of New York , both Repub' licans , over Canadian tariff relations , and an arrignment of some of his R& publican colleagues by Mr. Fish ol New York , occupied Friday's session of the House. Messrs. McKinlay : ol California and Dickema of Michigan Republicans , advocated the proposed $250,000 appropriation for enlarging the scope of the tariff board's ascer tainment of tariff information. In the Senate Saturday eulogies wer delivered on the lives of the late Rep resentatives Cushman of WashingtoE : and DeArmond of Missouri. : No othei business was transacted. Party issue held the attention of the House whilE the proposed appropriation of $250,00 ( in the sundry civil bill to enable Presi dent Taft's Tariff board to "collect in formation for him was pending thedret - ically. By the action of the Senate Mondaj the construction of two new battlE ships for the navy was assured. Sen ator Burton's amendment to the naval appropriation bill to limit the author zation to one ship of the Dreadnoughl type instead of two , as authorized 03 the House , was defeated , 26 to 39. ThE bill then was passed. It carries ap propriations aggregating $134,000,000 In the House the proposed appropria tion . of $250,000 ! , as recommended bj the President , was stricken from the bill on a point of order made by Mr. : Fitzgerald of New York and decided by Representative Mann of Illinois who was in the chair. In order to ac . complish practically the same purpose in a different way , Chairman Tawne3 ; of the appropriations committee offer ed an amendment appropriating the same amount of money , but leaving out all reference to the tariff board He hoped in this manner to bring the amendment within the House rules Mr. Fitzgerald , however , made a point of order against the new provision and this was pending when the House adjourned. The Cummins amedment : to the rail road bill prohibiting the putting intc effect of increases in railroad rate until they shall have been approved by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion was before the ' Senate Tuesday Arguments in favor of the amendment were made by Senators Cummins Borah and Dolliver. Senator Martir suggested an amendment to the Cum mins provision requiring the commis sion to pass upon all increases within six mouths after their filing.
