“You're mistaken about that," said
Billy's pretty-mother quickly. “Billy
never forgets or forgives anything.
He is terribly in earnest about life."
‘He is a fine little chap. Did he tell
you bow I picked bim up going from
sohool yesterday and took bim for a
long run In my car? He doesn't ask
a thousand qtf&stions like most boys,
but I'll wager he knows nearly
much as I do about the mechanism of
that car." *
“Oh, yes, he came up to my sitting
room, as he always does when he
comes home, and told me about his
trip. He promised me that as soon
as he was a little older he would sell
our car and buy one of a more lm
proved make. ‘It makes me feel as U, ,
I was most grown, mother,' he saidj tr
to me, 'to have Mr. Walter show me
things about his car. He doesn't talk!
to me the way our chauffeur does, and'
explain every, little thing same as If
I were a baby,"but he Just treats me
well—as if we" were two gentlemen out
together.* Billy doesn't rellRh being
patronized," laughed Elizabeth.

Senator Peurose and the Third
Termer have a violent quarrel. And
while they are snarling and hurling
epithets at each other the public
learns that the Standard Oil- trust
contributed $125,000 to the Third
Termer’s former campaign fund.
Majority Leader Underwood,
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee of the House of Rcpre-
sentalives, eetimates tbat the Amer
ican people would have saved just
$650,000,000 next year, and each
succeeding year, had the Senate and
the president approved the tariff re
vision bills Bent up to them by the
Democratic House.
Governor Wilson has indicated in
the speeches he has made thus far
in the campaign that he attaches
great deal of importance to the
question of the tariff as it affects
farmers. The Democratic candidate
put this whole question into a nut
shell when he said: "The farmer
does not derive any benefits from
the tariff when he goes to market to
sell his products, but on everything
the farmer buys there is an artifi
cially high price due to the tariff
tax.”

“The beat to the world, Billy. What
I do for you?"
“Mother’s sad about somethin#. She
cries every time you go away. Do you
know why?"
“Why I—I—" simmered tha man,
torn between bis promise to tha wom
an he loved and' the innocent trust
ing face before him, waiting for an
answer.
“I believe she wants to marry Mr.
Sam Cartsr, and the know* I don't
like him. You : know you told her
liow Mr. Carter loved her. Is tbat it?"
“No, no, 1 tUlnk not, BiUy. Your
mother doesn't love Carter In that
way."
“Now," said Billy, moving a little
closer and laying his band on the
man’s arm, “if she would Just love
you, I’d like first rate to have you for
a father. I loved my real, own father
very much, like any boy," went on the
childish voice, “but I tell you it would
be fine to have a live father like you
around every day."
,,BlUy was caught In two strong arms
a,nd held very, very close. “I’d love
to take you and your mother to my
big house to live. I love you and the
beautiful mother, too. Do you think
we could persuade her to gq?"
' “We’U try," whispered Billy. "Don’t
you tell her about what I said. That’s
a secret between us.”
“Sure,” answered Oillem, happily.
All through the meal Billy thought
if Mr. Oillem’s big stone house and
his kennel of fine doge. It would be
great to live In that house, he
thought, and wondered how he could
lead up to the important matter,
"Mr. Walter," he questioned, "I
wonder what your dogs would do if a
little boy went there sometimes?"
“They would be glad to see him,
They are friendly fellows,"
f “I guess they wouldn't like to have
a boy around all the time, though,
would they?”
"Yes, they would," said Oillem,
taking care not to look at Elizabeth.
He could, with difficulty, keep the
laughter from bis eyes.
I think I’ll go home with you some
day. Boys ought to stay with a man
some, oughtn't they, mother?"
“Yes," said a very wsak voice,
“What are you talking about son?"
“I told Mr. Walter how you cry
