Continued. ) CHAPTER . - ( 'Pardon me - " Zelda brought her horse to the curb-'but I've lost my ; way. Can you tell me- " The girl stepped to the curb and do - gcribed the easiest way across towr She was small and trim of figure and had very blue eyes. "Thank you , " said Zelda , and Zan : started forward. "You-are Miss Dameron , " the teach ] er said , hesitatingly. "Yes. " Zelda turned toward her In surprise. "It's been a long time since I sav ' you-as many as a dozen years. " Th girl smiled and Zelda smiled too. " 1 wish I could remember. I'm sor : ry but won't you help me ? " "It was when you were a little girl- so was I , but I was older-and my ; mother took me to see your mother , and we played , you and I , that is , in the yard , while our mothers talked You wore a red dress" and I though you were very grand. " The blue eyes were looking into tin dark ones. There was a moment of hesitation and scrutiny. Then Zeld ; put out her hand. "You are my cousin. Olive-is it Merriam ? please don't tell me tha ; isn't right ! " . "Yes ; that is just right. " " ' to take ' If I "I'm going you home you're ready to go , Cousin Olive. Fn badly lost and don't remember the wa : you told me to go. It's so excitinj " 5 meeting a long-lost cousin ! Olive Merriam : debated an instant , in which she surveyed her new-foun cousin doubtfully. She had startet home when the battle at the school- house door gave her pause. There wa ! no excuse for refusing. Zelda had gatlv : ered up the reins , and waited. "Do come ! Zan isn't dangerous - am . neither am I. " "Thank you. I'll have to come nov to show that I'm not afraid. " The boys lingered at a safe distance and as Zelda drove past them at the < corner , several of _ them snatched of ; ] ! their caps and grinned , and Olive ] Mer riam called good-night to them. As Zelda followed the route indicat ed by her cousin she was busy tryin ; to find a lost strand of family historj , that proved elusive. She did not at al remember her mother's brother , Thom as Merriam. She had never heard hei aunt or uncle speak of the relationship , and she surmised , now that she thought of it , that hero must be anoth er of those breaks in the family con nection that had already revealed rag ged edges. It was growing late , , aml she put Zan to her best paces until presently they came out upon a broad . paved thoroughfare. "That's better , " Said Zelda. "I'm sure I should never have found the way out alone. I don't believe I was ever down there before. Please let me drive you home. I haven't the least idea where that is , so if I'm going ; wrong- " "It's Harrison street. She describ ed the route. "You're taking a lot oi trouble about me. " "No. It's the other way around. I'd never : have seen the court-house clock again if it hadn't been for you. And then : - " they approached a cross street and Zelda checked the flight of Zan and bent forward to see whether the coast ; was clear-"and then"-she loos ened the rein and the animal sped for ward again-"I've been looking awful ly hard for a friend , Cousin Olive , and I : want you ! " "You are kind-but yeu don't under- stand ; - a lot of things , " said Olive Mer- riam. "You and I can't . be friends. There are reasons- " "I don't care for any reasons " said Zelda. "But they're not my reasons-they're otner , people's ! That's our house there , wjiere the shades are up and a light is iff ' the window. "I don't cafe what other people say ibout anything"-and Zelda brought Zan to a stand at the curb in front of Olive's door. "I'd ask you to stop - " began Gi ve. ve."I'm "I'm going to stop , " said Zelda - "to see you quite on your threshold. Zan stands without hitching usually. I'll ] : take my chances. " Harrison is only a street in minia- ture. A poet wrote a song about it that made it the most famous street in Mariona. : The houses there are chiefly one-story-and-a-half cottages , , and in one of these , which was saved from intrusive eyes in summer by a double [ line of hollyhocks , and which lad at its back door at seasonable times a charming old-fashioned gar- den , lived Olive Merriam and her mother. Olive threw open the door and Zelda , stepped into a sitting-room-the house lad no hall-where a coal fire burned cozily in a grate. The room ran the ength of the house ; the woodwork was white : ; the floor was pine , stained a dull red and covered with rugs made of old carpet. A student lamp with a green ; shade stood on a table in the center of the room. There were maga- zines and books on the table and shelves in the corners held other books. An elderly woman looked up from the paper she had been reading as the door opened. A cane lay on the floor beside icr and told the story 6f the lines of lain in her face. "Mother this is Zelda Dameron. She . has brought me home , " said Olive. "She didn't want me to at all , but I made her let me , " said Zelda crossing the room and taking Mrs. : ; Merriam's land. The woman bent her eyes-they were blue like Olive's-upon the girl with a grave questioning. "You are Margaret's daughter-you ' " she are Ezra Dameron's daughter said. "Yes ; and I didn't know about you at all until I found Olive to-day. And [ didn't know that any Merriams any- vhere lived in a house like this. Why , t's a home. I'm going-but tell me- hat I may come back again. " There was something so sincere and , . v"-1W ' - - " " . _ - l . . . . . . - ; " . wistful in Zelda's tone as she spoke , , standing between the firelight and tht lamplight ; something , too , in the glance ! of appeal she gave the little room , that ! broke down the antagonism in Mrs Merriam's eyes. She put out her hand again. "Yes ; I hope you will come. We shall be glad to see you. " Olive followed Zelda to the steps , and saw the runabout turn in the narrow street and whirl away. She watched it i I until Zelda's erect figure passed like a flash under the electric light at the cor ner a/id disappeared into the dark be- yond. "What miracle is this ? " asked Mrs. : Merriam of Olive. "Nothing short of a miracle would account for it. " "I met her down at the school- house. She had lost her way and ask ed me how to find Jefferson street. I called her by name-she seemed to re- member me , and then she insisted on ; bringing me home. She seemed rather pitiful ; she said she was lonesome and wanted a friend. " Olive sat down on a stool at her mother's feet. She was afraid to show . too much interest in this new-found cousin. Her mother was clearly puz zled and troubled ; the moment was difficult ; but she felt that it was im portant to determine their future re- lations with Zelda Dameron now. "She is very like her mother. It gave me a shock to see her. Margaret had that same impulsive way. In any one else it would have seemed strained and theatrical but no one ever thought of it in Margaret. Every one always said , when she did anything a little odd that it was just like : : Margaret Dameron. Your father hadn't any of that ; he wasn't like the rest of the Merriams. He tried to be on good terms with Ezra Dameron , though Ezra never appreciated it ; and the rest of them dropped us for countenancing him. But Zelda-what do you think of her ? " "She didn't give me time to think. She charmed me ! I never saw any- body like her in the world. She has such an air of mystery-that doesn't seem just the word but I don't know what to call it. She's adorable ! " CHAPTER VI. Rodney Merriam and Morris : Leigh- ton walked up High street to the Tip- . ' pecanoe Club , which occupied a hand- some old brick mansion that had been built by the Merriams ivho had after- ward lost his money. Merriam usually went there late every afternoon to look over the newspapers , and to talk to the men who dropped in on their way home. He belonged also to the Ham- ilton a much larger and gayer club that rose to the height of five stories in the circular plaza about the sol- diers' monument at the heart of the city ; but he never went there , for it was noisy and full of politics. Many young men fresh from college belong- ed to the Tippecanoe , and Merriam liked to talk to them. He was more constant to the club than Morris , though they often went there together. A number of men were sitting about the fireplace in the lounging-room. The lazy blazing logs furnished the only light. A chorus of good-evenings greeted the two men in unmistakable cordiality , , and the best chair in the room was pushed toward Rodney Mer : : riam. . "Mr. ] Merriam Captain Pollock ; and Mr. : : Leighton. " . { A young , man rose and shook hands with the newcomers. Merriam : did not know'most of the group by name. He had reached the age at which it seems unnecessary to tax the memory with new burdens. It was , he held , good club manners to speak to all the men you meet in a club , whether you know them or not. The youngsters at the Tippecanoe were for the greater part college graduates , just starting out in the world and retaining a jealous hold of their youth through the ties of the club. "Captain Pollock has been telling us about the Philippines , " said one of the group. "We've been trying to find out whether he's an imperialist or how about it , but he won't tell. " "That shows his good judgment , ' ' said Merriam. \ . "It shows that I want to keep my job , " declared Pollock , cheerfully. 'And I'll be cashiered now for c rtain , if I don't get back to the Arsenal. Ma jor Congrieve expects me for dinner. " Baker who had brought Pollock to the club shook himself- out of his chair - and the others rose. . "I'll see that you find your way . back to : the reservation , " said Baker. "That's very kind of you. And I'm glaa to have met you , Mr. Merriam. " It was a soft voice , and as they went out nto the hall , Merriam : : looked : at the owner of it with interest. He was a sum young fellow , with friendly blue eyes , brown hair , and a slight moustache. His carriage was that of tne : drilled man < West Point does not give a degree in the usual academic sense ; but she writes something , upon her graduates that is much more use- ful for purposes of identification. Frank i Pollock had been the shortest man in his class ; but his scant inches were all soldierly. The young man with whom he had spent an hour at the Tippeca- noe Club had been gathered up by Ba- ker , who had met Pollock somewhere and " taken a fancy to him. They all left the club together except Merriam and Leighton , who went to the news- paper room. But Merriam stared at he : evening paper without reading it , and when he got up to go presently , he stopped ; at the club register which lay open on a desk in the hall. He put on his eye-glasses and scanned the page. The ink was fresh on the last signa ture : "Frank Pollock , U. S. A. " Rodney Merriam : then walked to- ward his own house tapping the side- walk abstractedly with his stick. The next morning he called for his horse early. He kept only one hors'a for he never drove ; but he rode nearly I d. ' 'w' , . - . ' " { . . : J , - , - - : : : - : : - : - - - : - : . . - " - - - - _ -r--- - - - - - - - - - - I every ' day when It was fair. His rout was usually out High street toward : he I country ; but to-day he rode down I town through the monument plaza : and .then struck east over the asphalt of Jefferson street where a handsome old gentleman , of CO , riding ! ! a horse tha was remembered with pride at Ley ing ; - ton , was not seen every day. Ro Iney ; Merriam was thinking : deeply thi ; mo' 'Ding , and the sharp rattle of his horse's hoofs on the hard pavemen did not annoy him as it usually did. Arsenal is a word that : : suggests diro ful things , but the Arsenal that ha. been maintained through many peace ful years Mariona : : ! , until the town in its growth leaped over the governmen stone walls and' extended the urbai lines beyond it , was really a prett : park. The residences of the officer and several massive storehouses were at least inoffensive to the eye. The < native forest trees were aglow with au tumn color , and laborers were collect ing and carrying away dead leaves. Merriam : : brought his horse to a wall as he neared jthe ; open gates. A pri vate came out of the little guard-hous : < and- returned Merriam's salute. Th < man gazed admiringly after the mili tary figure on -thoroughbred , though he had often seen rider and horse before , and he knew that Mr Merriam was a friend of Major : : Con- grieve , the commandant. The soldiei continued to stare after Rodney Mar- riam , curious to see whether the visitoi would bring his hand to his hat as he neared the flag that flapped high over head. He was not disappointed ; Rod ney Merriam never failed to salute thf colors , even when he was thinking hard ; and he was intent upon an ide this morning. The maid who answered the bell was not sure whether Major Congrieve was at home ; he had been packing , sh < said ; but the commandant appeared at ! once and greeted his caller cordially. Major Congrieve was a trifle stout but his gray civilian clothes made the best of a figure that was not what Ii i : had been. He was bald , and looked much better in a hat than without i it "You'll pardon me for breaking on our packing. I merei came to registe a kick. I don't seem to know an oi the local news any more until it's stale I've just heard that the Arsenal has been sold and I want to say that it's . an outrage to tear this place to pieces. " ' "It is too bad ; but I don't see what you are going to do about it. I've al- ready got my walking papers. The in- . cident is closed as far as I am con cerned- " "To give us an active post in ex change for the Arsenal is not to do ua a kindness. We've got used to you gentlemen of the ordnance. Your re- pose has been an inspiration to the community. " "No irony ! The town has always been so good to me and mine that : we've had no chance for repose. " "But the Spanish War passed over and never touched you. I don't believe the powers Washington knew you were here. " . "Oh , yes , they did. They wired me I every few hours to count the old gun's in the storehouse , until I knew every ) piece of that old scrap iron by heart. If we'd used those old guns in that war the row with Spain would have been on a more equal basis. " "I suppose it would , " said Merriam who was thinking of something else. 'But I'm sorry you're going to leave. We never quite settled that little ques- tion about Shiloh ; and I'm convinced that you're wrong about the Fitz-John Porter case. " "Well , posterity will settle those questions without us. And would you mind walking over to the office with " me - "Bless me , I mpst be going ! This \vas an unpardonable hour for a call. " "Not in the least ; only I've another waller over there-Pollock , of the quar- termaster's department , who has been sent out to take charge of the new post site. He's a nice chap ; you must know him. " "I'll be very glad , some other time , " said Merriam.'hich way does ho 2ome from ? " "He's a Southern boy. Father was a Johnny Reb. Another sign that the war- is over and the hatchet buried. " "Pollock , did you say ? Tennessee family ? I seem to remember the name. " "I think so. Yes. I'm sure. I look- id him up in the register. " ( To foe continued. ) A Wonderful Snsike. Snakes on the pampas of South- America have many enemies. Burrow- ing owls feed on them , and so do hor- , ons and storks , which kill them with a blow of their pavelin beaks. The ty rant bird picks up the young snake by the tail and , flying to a branch or stone , uses the reptile as a flail until its ; life is battered out. The large liz ard of the pampas , the iguana , is a fa- mous snake killer. It smites the snake to death with its powerful tail. Mr. Hudson [ in his "Naturalist in la Pla- ta" tells this story : One day a friend of mine was riding Dut looking after his cattle. One end Df his lasso was attached to his saddle , ind the remainder of the forty foot line was allowed to trail on the ground. The rider noticed a large iguana lying apparently asleep , and , ilthough he rode within a few inches , it ; did not stir. But no sooner had the rider [ passed than the trailing lasso at- Lracted the lizard's attention. It lashed after the slowly moving rope ind dealt it a succession of violent blows with its tail. When the whole if the lasso , several yards of which lad been pounded in vain , had passed DJ- , the iguana , with uplifted head , 5azed after it with astonishment. Sever had such a wonderful snake crossed its path before. Bill Too Material. : "Now , " said Mrs. Dressor , "don't you think my new hat is a perfect iream ?

FEATURES OF COMPLETED BILL : ] Commerce Court of Five Judges to Be Appointed Under Its Provisions. The conference report on the admin istration railroad bill was presented to the Senate in Washington the other : day by Chairman Elkins of the Senate Committee on Interstate ; Commerce. It was also laid before the House. Generally speaking , the finished work of the conferees is declared to be satisfactory to the Senate , although in large part it follows the lines of the ( House bill. A number of the amend ments secured by "insurgent" Repub lican Senators , however , were retained by the conferees. As finally perfected by the conferees , the bill carries most of the features of the original administration measure except the sections to permit railroads ; to make pooling agreements to author ize the government to regulate the is suance of stocks and bonds and to per mit a railroad to purchase the remain ing stock of another line in which it already controls 50 per cent of the stock. So much opposition developed in both houses against. these provisions that all except the securities section were abandoned outright. In the place of the House provision 'I- ' . . the conferees incorporated a provision authorizing the President to appoint a commission to investigate questions : : pertaining to the issuance of stocks and bonds by railroads. Expenditures by the commission are limited to $25- 000 , and it was not given authority to summon witnesses or to compel the production of books and papers. No time was fixed for the making of a report. The bill as perfected , therefore and as likely to become law , would create a commerce court composed of five judges the first of whom are to be selected by the President and there- .after by the chief justice of the Su preme Court. Certain sections would enlarge the power of the commission over railroad regulations and practices and place un- der the jurisdiction of the commission telegraph telephone and cable com- panies , whether wire or wireless , and would broaden the scope of the word railroad so .as , to extend the jurisdic- . tion of the commission over bridges , ferries and terminal facilities. General provisions are made affect- ing railroads to compel them to fur- nish rates upon application and to au thorize the commission to institute inquiries on its own motion. By pro- visions adopted by the House and re- tained by the conferees the scope of the commission to make regulations was enlarged. It is also provided that the shipper may designate through routes. MOODY TO LEAVE BENCH. .Retirement of Supreme Justice Pro- vided for by Congress. Identical bills to construe the re- tirement : law so that Associate Justice Moody of the United States Supreme : : . , : . . . Court may come ' < ' : under its operation , were introduced in Congress by Sena- : > , , . tor Lodge and Representative Gil- } ' ' > ' lette of Massachu setts. Justice H Moody , who has . , been ill for a year , - is understood to > r be in a condition that would prevent JUDGK : \100 D Y' . . . his resumption of duty on the bench even next fall. A precedent that fits his case was estab- lished years ago in the case of Justice Hunt. The retirement of Justice Moody will create the third "vacancy on ! the Supreme bench for President Taft to fill. PETITION ' BRYAN TO MAKE RUN. . T Concerted ! Movement Started in Ne- braska.for'Commoner as Senator. A concerted movement looking to the entry of W. J. Bryan in the Nebraska senatorial raee was begun , when Dem- ocratic leaders of the State prepared for the circulation of petitions in every county of the State asking Mr. Bryan to enter the contest. . Two forms of petitions have been framed , one intend- ed for democratic voters and one for signatures of members of all political parties. These petitions were sent broadcast immediately , the object be- ing to have returns made by the time \ Ir. Bryan returns from Europe.
