vote of 66 to 51 and The indications
are that it will pass the House by a
small majority. One amendment
put to it yesterday, however, provi-

committee had "railroaded" his bill
through with an unfavorable repot
and that the chairman thereof, Ray
of Denton, had put in effect a gag
rule as a result of their exchange of
amenities yesterday. Later Strick-

of the ballroom, meeting Rosalind and
Gillespie comihg out flushed with their

"The hour of enchantment is almost

princess goes hack to her castle!"—
and Rosalind took my arm.
"Meet me at the landingln two min-

as a particular kindness—I shall allow
you to take the princess’ home!" And
I hurried Rosalind away, regained the
blue cloak and flung it about her.

"I like your air of business. You

"I thank you for the word. I'm

here! Your alter ego is on this very •

for a Woman to be.”
“Oh,” she faltered, "she found out
and followed?”
"She did; she undoubtedly did!”
As we paused under one of the ver-
anda lamps she looked down at the
cloak and laughed.
“So this is hers! I thought It didn t
feel quite right. But that pair of
gloves!” , -
“It's In my pocket. I have stolen
it!" I led the way to the lower veran- 1
da of the casino, which was now de- '
verted. "Stay right here and appear
deeply interested in the heavens above '
and the waters under the earth until

"Come! We mudt have this danee!
she exclaimed, and Gillespie rose

the door, where she threw off
cloak for the first time.
"Lord and protector, will you do me

And you know you care nothing at all
about Reginald Gillespie; he’s a aloe
boy, but that's all."
"You are contemptible and wiekefl!”
she flared. “Let us go.”
Gillespie's launch was ready when
we reached the pier, and after he had
handed her Into it he plucked my
sleeve, and held me for an instant.
"Don’t you see how wrong you are!
She is superb! She' Is not only the
most beautiful girl in the world, but
the dearest, the sweetest, the kindest
and best. You have served me better
than you know, old man, and I’m
grateful!”
Tn a moment they were well under

and found Rosalind where I had left
her.
"We must go at once,” she
"Father will be very anxious to
how it all came out.”
"But what did you think of

"He’s very nice,” she said.
“Is that all? It doesn’t seem con-

“Oh, he’s very kind and gentle, aivtw
anxious to please. But I felt like >

"You seemed to be a very chey
criminal. I suppose it was only
excitement that kept you going."
“Of course that was it! I was won-
dering what to call it. I’m afraid the
sisters at the convent would have a
less pleasant word for it."
"Well, you are not In school now;
and I think we hare done a good
night’s work for everybody concerned.
But tell me. did he make love ac-
ceptably?”
"I suppose that was what he was
doing, sir,” she replied, demurely,
averting her head.
"Suppose?” I laughed.
"Yes; you see, it was my first ex-
perience. And he is really very nice,
and so honest and kind and gentle
that I felt sorry for him.’’.
“Ah! You werp sorry for him! Then
it’s all over. I’m clear out of it. When
a woman’s is sorry for a man—tchk!
But telrme, how did his advanceacoiq-
pare with mine on those ocl-asiods
when we met over there by St. Aga-
tha's? I did my best to be entertain-
ing.”
' Oh, he is much more earnest than*
you ever could be. I never had any
illusions about you, Mr. Donovan. You
just amuse yourself with the nearest
girl, and, besides, for a long time you
thought I was Helen. Mr. Gillespie
is terribly in earnest. When he was
talking to me back there in the corner
I didn't remember at all that it was
pc.rk to rebuke the policeman!”
"No; I suppose with the stage prop-
erly set—with the music and the atprs
and the water—one might forget Mi*.
Gillespie's mild idiosyncrasies.”
"But you haven't told me about Hel-
en. Of course she saw through the
trick at onee.”
“She did;” I answered, in a tone
that caused Rosalind to laugh. V V
"Well, you wouldn't hurt poor little
me if she scolded you!” • (
We were on the pier, and I whistled
to Ijima to bring up the launch. In
a moment we were skimming over the
lake toward the Tippecanoe. ' >
Arthur Holbrook was Waiting for us I

"It |s all right," I said. "I shall
keep the papers for the present, if you
don’t mind, but your troubles are near-
ly over." And I left Rosalind laugh-
ingly explaining to her father how ft
came about that she had gone to the
casino in a scarlet cloak but had re-
turned in a blue one.
“I will not!"
"Please!”
"You are despicable, despicable!"
"I am really the best friend you

kindly exchange cloaks with me?
