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 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 ? "
"Well , no , " replied her husband ; "to
be a perfect dream the bill attached
to it should also be merely a dream. "

Finished Work of Conferees Is De
dared to Be Satisfactory
to Upper House.
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-

Importance of "Word. . *
If you should write a letter to the
man who is chief magistrate of this
.
republic you are at liberty to address
him as "The President , Washington
D. C. " That will be sufficient. He is
not "his excellency , " as is the supreme
executive ; magistrate of Massachusetts ,
nor "his high mightiness " a title
which they say , sounded pleasing to
the ear of the Father of His Country.
But if you should write a letter to the
Secretary of State of the United States ,
whom the plain "president" appointed
to the job , prepare to dip your pen in
honorific ink. While the chief magis
trate is plain "president , " without any
titular epaulets , his Secretary of State
is "the Honorable Secretary of State. "
It will not do to address him as "the
"Secretary of State" simpjy. ' He is
something ; more than that. The eti
quette [ of the State D , partment re-
quires that the word "honorable" be
prefixed ( to the word "secretary.--
