While he was standing there staring at the gallery, he was brought to himself by a sound from the Speaker's marble desk. That official was tapping his gavel and calling the House to order. The proceedings began with a prayer by the Chaplain and then the clerk called the roll of members. He had scarcely finished when there were a flood of bills and petitions. For the next half hour Barry was kept busy running from one member to another, and receiving papers which he handed to the chief clerk, who stood at his desk directly beneath the platform of the speaker. The members called the pages by clapping their hands, and if they did not get an immediate response, they clapped their hands two or three times in succession. The new page did the best he could under the circumstances, and he did it very well indeed. After this, bills which had been received before and ordered to be printed, were taken up in their order on the calendar and debated. In the midst of the talk one of the members in the rear of the House jumped to his feet and cried: "Mr. Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn." Instantly the members were thrown into disorder. Loud voices came from all parts of the room. Men talked and gesticulated wildly. A member arose and protested against the motion. The Speaker looked at him calmly, tapped his gavel on the marble desk, and said: "The motion to adjourn is not debatable." In the midst of much excitement the clerk began calling the roll. "Where's Warrington?" shouted one of the members to another, in a stage whisper. "For goodness' sake, get Warrington before the clerk reaches the W's." Barry heard this whisper and he acted on it at once. He shot out of the hall down the corridor until he came to the stairway which led to the House restaurant. A gentleman sat at a table eating a sandwich and drinking a glass of milk. He had been pointed out to Barry earlier in the day as Congressman Warrington. Barry rushed to him excitedly: "Mr. Warrington," he cried, "they want you in the House at once." This message delivered, he hastened back, followed by the member holding a half-eaten sandwich in his right hand. The boy turned into the hall of the House, the member at his very heels. The monotonous drone of the clerk's voice calling the roll could be heard. "Mr. Warrington," he drawled. Two members grabbed the bewildered Congressman as he entered the House. "Vote 'no,'" they cried in chorus. "I vote 'no,'" called the Congressman in a loud, clear tone. A burst of applause followed the response. Almost immediately the voice of the Speaker could be heard. "The motion to adjourn is lost," he said, "and the House will continue consideration of the General Land Bill." An hour later the House adjourned and Barry was surrounded by a number of men who patted him on the head and bestowed all sorts of compliments on him. Presently the Speaker came along and said in an amused tone: "Is this the boy that found Warrington?"
