"Indeed?" cheerily. "I'm delighted
to see you. What wedding garment

"None for any wedding of yours."

"I love you," said the man.
"Ninety-nine tlmosl" snapped the
girl, taking hor teeth from a knot.
There Is luck In nines."
"Luck!" She glanced up scornfully,
then a strange light leaped to her eyes
and a quick color to her cheeks. An
other machine, tho ship of tho rival

The gtrl knew that ho could hoar her
every word. "I would throw myself
from tho ship before I would marry

with me."
As she spoke she perched porllously
near tho edge of the boat and her
eyes flew past Jack's shoulder and

smile. In an Instant the second ma

"No wondor men adore you," said
the rival lover. "Norrotte, when will

"Don't!' commanded tbo girl, In

"Did IT To-night, then, not now."

"Norrotte, I was rude. I offer no

Congress guilty more of sins of
omission than of commission. It
failed to remove the duty on wood

opposed to it, in the face of the fact
that the demand from the people
was overwhelming. The Republi

matter come tq a vote in the House,
because they knew it would pass.
Even a worse case of omission was
