t'. ORCHARD, ARKANSAS, Fill DAY, MARCH NO. III Possibility of One Disappears With Passage of Army Bill, SOME OPPOSITION IN HOUSE, li March The last lingering possibility of an extra session of Congress disappeared yesterday when the Hon.se passed the Senate ar-. my -reorganization bill. Very considerable and vigorous opposition to the acceptance of the Senate bill was voted on both sides of the hall, and time it appeared "possible that the -bill would not secure the necessary- Uvo- thirds to pass it under suspension of the rules.

But the Republican leaders, Messrs. Henderson, Grosvetior. and Cannon, came to its support on the Republican side, and Mr. IJailey, the Democratic leader, threw the weight of his influence in favor of it on the Democratic side, arguing that it provided. for only a temporary increase in the army, which would bo made permanent if Congress were convened in extra session.

Another big element in the vote was Mr. Hull's recital of a statement made by the President to him that lie would not construe Section 12 as authority. tr conscript the minority in volunlic'er organizations which should elect to remain in the service. The" -bill passed, It now goes to the President. 'The ducks wore also cleared of many other important matters.

The general. deficiency appropriation bill, carrying was passed under' suspension of the rules without 'a word of criticism. This is the last the appropriation bills. The Senate to tha river and harbor bill were non-concurred in, and it scut to conference, the friends' of the canal amendment having decided to postpone their fight until the confe- 'cs- report. The conference reports on the omnibus claims bill; the naval personnel many other less important, meas- 'ures were agreed The" Senate bill making Dewey a full admiral was passed.

The bill now goes' to the -president for- his signature. AN ARMOR PLANT, Sennto Votes In Viivor of ii Clovcriimcnt ii Ton rinilt. Senate Is rapidly-clearing Us Jocks for-'final adjourn mcirt.

Tho hands' I knew to old Molly Griffin; but the face glowering- over me was young William Hernshaw's, distorted with passion. At last, with a violent wrench, I freed one arm, arid seizing, the hand -pressing my 'throat, awoke to find Helen loaning over mo, dragging her wrist from my I-looked at her stupidly for a sec- lj am. doing you up harm," she said, her eyes nickering and glaring at stealthily.

"1 came to- sec had not come to bed. Lot me go, let me go, hurt me." I at once dropped her band, and she ran quickly away to her own room; I did not see'her again until breakfast, when she appeared 'in a' lively, talkative mood and civilly disposed, towards both Edith and-me, though she never once looked us in the face, but kept her eyes almost closed or fastened to her plate. After giving some household orders she went out, and; Btanding by- the window of. my. I watched her for some time pacing a.

retired corner of'the kitchen garden with-a. swift, monotonous stride; at last the movement -became so repugnant to me that, scarcely heeding what I was doing, I threw open window and called out to her: "Helen, I'm going to. the club this morning; haven't you any shopping" to do? The dog cart, will be round iu half an hour. "No, none," she nnsw.ered, after a moment's pause. "Besides, I have an this afternoon.

"I am nearly with dust; I feel I could Iwallow a quart of claret and soda." "I'll get some," said Helen, going to- frards the dining room, and presently returning with A cool, frothing tumbler, which she 'handed to me aha then stood behind my chair. I turned, laid my hand on her arm, said gently: "Helen, tell me what Is the matter with you.

Why will you not look "at She did riot move or answer a word, though I repeated my inquiry almost coax-ingly, as one would -question a yaUish, wayward child. I withdrew my "hand and lifted, sigh- )nr, wearily the glass, when suddenly," Mlh a loud cry, she dashed' it froiu my lips, the liquid squirting up into my face, flowing down my shirt and collar anil streaming onto the carpet, the glass lay broken. Stung to the quick by the insulting violence of the act, I sprang to 'irw feet, glaring speechlessly at her until Edith, whose presence I was not fiware of, -ran eagerly towards me and passed her handkerchief over my wet face and neck. "How- dare ytm?" I stammered hoarsely. "What do you mean? Are yon mad?" Jlelen burst into a wild, loud laugh.

Yes, yes, as a March maddest wife evOT a true husband had. Oh, my pocn- poor aches it A. breath of sea ah- do It breath of sea air!" she moaned, listlessly moving away. I went too, for even Edie's soft, touctt and pitying eyes were more than I could bear. Ordering my horse, I gave him liiK head, rode across country as if following.the swiftest hounds that ever ran'a fox tu earth.

I knew, not whither or'how far I went; it was night when tbo poor brute, lame, footsore, crawled up the avenue again. Kdith was waiting for me on the doorstep, ivud led me into the dining-room, where a tempting supper was laid. "Eat, eat," she said; "you look thoroughly exhausted, poor dear." "She," I began nervously. "She has beeu perfectly quiet ever since, locked up in her room. Don't trouble about her now; she'll be all right tomorrow, you'll find.
