A Romance OF Illinois.
1t was night.
go

And such night!
The wind came in savage gusts from
the lurking places on the broad prairies
that stretched away to the westward,
and howled in mournful cadence the
requiem of the dying year.
Yes, the old year was dying. It
would soon be deader than a smelt, and
she demise of that young fish meant
business.
A young man with flashing eye and
clear'cut lips, around which lowered
the remnants of o cold, cruel smile,
nervously strobe across the floor of q
richly-furnished room in one of Chi
cago's most elegant mansions. For
more than an hour he paced the apart
ment, never once striking trot. This
showed that he was natural PAGER. In
his right hand he held tiny piece of
paper, which futtered in the breeze
created by the clip he was going. That
piece of paper was from Penelope Nc
CURE, a proud and naughty beauty,
the only daughter of man whose de-
mesne was one of the most extensive on
Aberdeen street.
Perhaps she had been giving the
young man the breeze in which the
note futtered.
But, apparently, she hadn't.
No, no. The missive told him of her
undying love, and how his image was
never absent from her maiden fancy.
This looked as if you could bet on the
girl, but who can tell the workings of q
woman's heart?
This is what bothered the young man
and had set him to pacing. He had
wooed the maid with all the ardent ma
ture of his soul and innumerable boxes
of candy.
Was this saccharine margin to be
swept away by sudden decline of he,
love for him.
Not if he knew it.
Twas but yester Gen." he said,
"that I saw her boarding car as the
clocks were striking 8, and yet the
false creature thinks to explain away
her action by saying she was going to
see sick friend. She little knows that
I saw her bangs, and know full we'll
that no woman wears them unless she
is going where she can be seen. But
she shall tride with me nc longer;
will scorn her profered love"-and he
seated himself at an inlaid ebony writ
ing desk.
The next day's mail bore to Penelope
the following missive:
Nobuddy can pla me for sucker. Ava falls

Wo,,n1an,s Nerve.

A tall lady with saturnine counten-
ance went into the Virginia (Nev.
Chronicle office and demanded of one
of the reporters if Virginia offered =
good field for . series of q dozen lect-
ures on woman suffrage. i
II don't think the Comstockers have
thought much about female suffrage"
replied the reporter frankly.
Don't say female" said the tall lady
sharply. -: -
@Why not?" asked the :: k>rter, in in.
nocent surprise. Ill.,.
Because, sir, term that fs used to
describe sex in animals should not be
applied to women"
The reporter admitted, in great hu-
initiation, that the point was we'll taken,
and looked up in some alarm at the
severe countenance of the lady, who
was head taller than himself and man
ifestly able to thrash him in the inter-
est of progress, if s. disposed. The
stern countenance softened somewhat
at the signs of confessed inferiority,
however, and the lady continued:
"The cause of woman is the cause of
humanity. The cause of humanity en-
braces all progress. Why, then, should
the people of Virginia be Indifferent to
woman?"
"They're notl" cried the small report
er, hastily. Ear from it. Woman is
the boss in this camp. Everything she
wants she gets, and not one in a hun
bred has 20 do lick of work."
"Mere toys,7 said the tall one, with
deep scorn. ~Playthiugs for an idle
hour. You cover woman with silks and
gauds and sink her soul into insignifi-
canoe by circumscribing her sphere
and allowing her no mission in life"

@that's about the way we look at it up
here, that's fact. Women haven't got
the nerve to rastle for themselves like

meant nothing personal, I assure you"
Am I not stronger than your" she
demanded, scorning the apology. "Am
not gifted with as great a brain? Why
do you despise my sex? We can bear
more pain, and are, therefore, your SUI
periors in courage"
The small reporter was gazing fixed
~ ct dark corner of the room, and made
no answer.
"Nerve, indeedl" continued the tall
lady; why, women have infinitely more
nerve than men. Only yesterday I saw
o woman"
~That's the biggest rat over saw in
the cffice," said the small reporter
staring intensely at the corner.
The screams that rent the air brought
in all the printers aud several citizens
from the street. When they arrived the
tall. one was standing on chair with
one hand covering her eyes and the
other convulsively clutching at he,
skirts as she gathered them close around
her.
The small reporter wisely took advan
tage of the crowd to slip out, and he
telegraphed from Gold Hill that he was
going down to Carson to work up a big
item.-Virgi1aia City Chronicle.
