Now Hamp hi? . Senator Chandler
and Senator Tillman, as ls Well
known, are wann personal friends.
Ile said lliat Senator Chandler, at
the age of Tl!, is still vigorous and in
full possession pf his mental powers.
Up lo a year ago he was president
' ' of th? Spanish-American war kiims
commission. Since thal time lie has
been practicing law In Washington.
Senator Tillman paid a high irlbnti
to tho former senator from New
Hampshire. Although a Republican
Senntor Tillman sahl that he could
not question his patriotism nnd that
ho regards him as a very high mau.
Whon asked if he would not allow
tho letter to be published, tho sena

consented to its publication. The

Sen:.tor Tillman's wishes are to got
away from everything and have ab

and hopes Dial this will restore him
to hs former vigor.
During the course of conversation
reference was made lo the recent
speech ol' Senator Tillman in tho sen
ate, in which he took the Republi
cans to task and incidentally gave
President Roosevelt a walloping, lb'
said that never before in his life had
lie felt loss like making a speech,
nor bad he ever before experienced
such ti strain and effort as he did
while delivering his address on
March 10. He said that he was in
lull posesslon of his fact; and
thoughts, but still he was unable to
assemble hts ammunition as he
should like to have done. He gave
notice on Saturday ol' his intention
to deliver the address on Monday
and had but a brief period to pre
pare his remarks
Altogether, il may be said that
Senator Tillman, as well as Mrs.
Tillman, hope that I he senator will
soon lie restored to his usual heatlh
and will resume his place in Hie flglll
for Democracy's supremacy.

cedented occurrence $10.000 hud,
mysteriously disappeared from the
bank, and the only persons to whom,
lt could reasonably be laid were the
two yoong men referred to-Grey,
ami Davison.
The discussion was at its height
each vigorously protesting hi? inno
cence. Young Groy had been in the
employ of the bank for several
years to bu sure, lila integrity had
never before been question e.I ; but
when such a serious charge wag
brought -forth and lay between him
and Richard Davison, son of Judge
Davison, hi., spotless recorr? was In
Borne unaccountable manner parti
ally forgotten, for Davison came from
the tirst family lu town, while Groy
was alone, and had gained hi- pre
sent position only by diligent la I th?
ful work.
Each faced tho directors frankly
and withstood all tosta. but while
Urey's eyes never lett Davison's face
the latter's never met his once dur
ing the long, trying ordeal. As denial
after denial, accompanied by appar
ent proof, fell from. Davison's lips a
sarcastic little smile hovered abouti
Grey's lace. At last he sprang for

"I can stand tills no longer, gen;le~

and g lu aced nt Davison, whose eyes
were fixed for the lirst time on Lis.
"1 know where tliis trouble lies--!"
Ere he could Un lah, the door Hew
suddenly open, staying the words oa
his lips an a rosy lace peeped In.
"O, I beg your pardon.'' a imrry
vole? exclaimed, and tho color mount
quickly lo the brows of both young
men at sight of that bewitching
laughing faro. "I wanted to speak

A look of relief crossed the tacos
Of the illQIl. ll would cailSO lend

Grey's change of manner proved only

money was re'urned Indore thc week

the maller would be dropped. Grey
looked up quickly, bul three low
whispered words fell oil his ear
"For her bake!" and he turned In
differently away.
When thtt directors loft them,
Davison held out his hand. "Grey,
name your price," he began, hut tho
look on the other's face slopped him.
"Her happiness," Grey answered
Shortly, then passed from the room,
Ignoring Davison's outstretched hand.
Great wonderment and many com

hurried unannounced departure,

was wrapped 111 a warm, peaceful
calm, a young man stood leaning

hewing between the trees. Suddenly
a girl appeared at the door an wnlk

stopped and awaited her coming. An

"Juck! Mr Grey!" she cried, ex

his letters would not find you."
"I received no letters from any

"Why. father wrote several right
