WILLIAM AND MARY. William gaied on Mary Jan; Longed tu tell her that her eye Shunt like sunlit drops of rain Falling from enchanted skies. But poor William, scant of nerre. Sought In vain these things to say Alt-rely managed tu observe: "It is rather warm to-day." Mary Jane will ne'er suspect What a wealth of sentiment Flourishing, despite neglect. In that trite remark was pent. Vowi as steadfast as the pole. Though as tender as the May. He la uttering from his soul, Whan he says "It's warm to-day." William tries and trie again: Baffled In his eloquence; Weary quite Is Mary Jane Of ridiculous suspense. But each time. Just as of yore. Alt his wits grow dark and dim. William feels that he's a bore; Mary quite agrees wtlh him. -Washington Star.

His Lady of Dreams

By Susan Sayer Yarmouth. j

dMwA

SHE came auddenly into hla sight, tli-pelling his brown study and interrupting his pipe. She stood beyond the table, beside the door, tall

and slight, in a white gown that clung to her arms and shoulders and rounded waist, and swept about her feet in heavy folds. A croaa swung from her neck by a long silver chain, and she wore a broad-brimmed hat with a gauzy white veil, so her face was in shadow. She leaned slightly toward Ashe as he clutched the arms of his big chair and sat forward im amazement. "I am the Princess Constantia Greirorius." she said gently.

"Of of Russia?" he asked stupidly, rvinir to fan awav the Laze of to-

J o bacco smoke.

"There are other lands." she said

indifferently. "And not so far away.' "Great Caesar!" he breathed, be

wildered, and his pipe dropped from t ustunishe.l finders. With the

feelinir that it was the only bond be

twecn him and rationality, he stooped

to p'uk it up, and as he rose he stn-.-k his head sharply against the corner of the library table. Di.zy

from the blow, he staggered to hia

feet and looked toward the door

was also emptv. No trailing go

had turned up the edges of the rugs

nor could he bear any hurrying steps

on the polished stairs. He blinked at the sun pouring red ami purple

throuirh the painted window for

moment, and then turned back and cat down on the nearest chair. Good hat n dream! Who was

sssd. "She hasn't been here already,

"No, I juet dreamed it." said the -owner of the pipe, and began to feel

of his bump with a frown of pain

Ilia friend looked at him for a mo

ment curiously, and then aimed i heavy leather cushion from the near

eat Morris chair at him. "Wake up, you idlotl" "This is no sleeping car." parried the cushion. "Dick, has yonr sister Tiaiting her?" he inquired "No," said the other. "Well, there was one

Mr. Wilmerding Ashe was making

for himself a rather neat reputatio

with r.aders of current magazines

si writer of clever little occasion

1 verses. Among his friends at his

Mnh he was considered a good fel

low, and they chose to assume that otnewhere he kept hidden away the Mnnn who wrote his Terses for

Ilm. His mother's friends approved

aad he was ehlefly famous with the young lu-liea of Iii- rather general acquaintance, as a master of arta of Welsh rarebit ry und badinage. Hut ao one was prepared for the almost oriental beauty of hi lutest verses, which appeared in one of the best

of the monthly periodicals under the name ai My Lady of the Keuliu of Dreams." and which would have done credit to a much more ambitious

poet than Billy Ashe. Ashe bimelf thought rather well of them; he felt that it in some way compensated

for the nasty knock on the head that the lady hud been the MM of giving him, and that he had turned a most perplexing dream to very good account. It was better than

taking it to the Society of Psychical

Research, which he had thought of do

ing in the vividness of his first impression, but six months without any further developments, waking or sleeping, had dulled his keen conviction of its osvehic value. Mean

while a comfortable check from the magazine bad seemed to take the thing out of the province of psychic research. Ashe was a modest man, but not too much . to find a little lionizing quite to his taste, and be went to afternoon teas and cotillions with a

feeling that to-morrow would be someone else's day, and he must gather his roses while be might. So he entered Mrs. Foster's long drawing-room prepared to smile as he listened to his verses misquoted by fair flatterers; be retained that se

rene attitude of mind while he shook hands with Mrs. Foster, and not one minute longer. For beyond Mrs.' Foster, and standing just outside the ring of light from a tall lamp, was the lady of his dreams, with her white

gown that clung to her shoulders and

rounded waist, and flared witn neioy

folds at her feet. This time she wore a fan on the long silver chain around her neck, and she had no

hat nor veil, so Ashe could see that

she was regarding blm with the

frankest interest from a pair of most

attractive brown eyes. He flushed with surprise, and hia remarks to Mrg. Foster died on his lips. She was not a dream, then, his princess! A

sudden recollection of the check from the "Hundred Years" made him warm, and as a corollary came the

realization of his narrow escape from the Society of Psychic Re

search good heavens!

Meanwhile Mrs. Foster was saying

gracioasly, "So good of you to come.

Mr. Ashe, and not forget your oia friends, now you are such a celebrity. And to reward you, I am goiug to in

troduce you to a very dear young friend of mine. Miss Grofory, Im admires your poems so much." And

Ashe found himself before his prin

cess, winie Mrs. rovlrr n on

fluently, "Con-tarn .-, my dear, this is

Mr. Ashe," and turned to gravi another guest. All remnants of his

self-possession vanished at the sound of the names, and Interrupting Miss Gregory's polite expressions of delight at making his acquaintance. Ashe asked abruptly: "Are you a princess?"

tution which can be amended only with the greatest difficulty at any time, and not all at a time when, aa now, the people have no notion even of what amendment le feasible, or what It could do If adopted." It will be recalled that in the last congress half a doren bills were pre

sented by democratic memoirs oi m. house and senate, and an important bill by a republican member the Bab-

cock bill to meet the trust evu. seethe president's sppeal for a publicity bill was taken account of by these bills. But what came of this rush of legislation, by the republican majority in congress, or through President Roosevelt's intervention? Every scrap or scrimpage of it was sidetracked; i was not even allowed consideration; all test votes were dexterously avoided. The Babcock bill, breaking up the partnership bet ween the trusts and the Dingley tariff, was suppressed. President Roosevelt was unquestionably a party to this policy of avoidance an'.! tration. He uttered no word advising action on, or even the consideration of. these anti-trust bills. They were suppressed with his approval.
