True, this last mentioned altitude Is for
hidden ground, and strong, locked gate
bars the way from the top Of the dome;
but it was not very high gate, and the

fair visitors boldly mounted it
In one particular these schoolmis-
tresses exhibited characteristic which
is common to their sex who visit the
Capitol l have noticed in my daily
ramblings about the great building that
the average woman is determined TO dis
regard all rules, defy all doorkeepers,
and go in upon the floor Of the house.
She observes common looking congress
men, pages and other persons entitled to
the floor passing in and out unchal-
lenged, and naturally concludes that she
may do likewise. The doorkeepers are
nearly always busy with the requests OF
those persons who wish to see members,
and at times the entrances are left prac-
tically uDguarded. Even if the sentry

door before he, polite, good natured
soul that he is, can succeed in convlnc-
ing her that she must refrace her steps.
Thus it happens that the big speaker
and many of the members occasionally
look up and see two or three women
standing in the rear of the hall, notwith
standing the fact that no living woman
has the privilege of the floor, and smile
as they watch the doorkeeper po-
htely inviting the intruders out. While
it is true that no woman has the right to
enter the house during its sessions, am
reminded that one woman, and only one,
may enter the senate whenever she
wishes. This favored one is the wife of
Senator Reagan, and her right is found
in the fact that she is her husbands pri-
vate secretary, drawing salary of 500
per month from Uncle Sam.
Women visitors to the Capitol are
always much interested when they per-
ceive one of their sex sitting in the press
gallery, hard at work with pencil and

Dunlap That was the accused mans
name. The name was ordinary, there
are many Dunlaps in many cities. Yet
for all that, from the beginning of the
case, the name had developed certain
train of "reminiscences in the mind of the
judge.
He had spoken tonight to his wife of
the time when he had come, poor boy,
from the country. Had the name SO
often heard in court for week past, so
often written in the papers under his
hand, called forth that allusion to his
boyhood? Which of rs can tell what it
is that leads our minds back to long I'M
remembered days, to incidents for years
relegated to oblivion? Is it that strain
Of tune from the stTident hand organ
on the pavement, the dip Of birds
wing in the spring blue, the caught up
word from passer by--what is it?
When he was g boy in the country,
orphaned, neglected, there was a little
girl he had played with Salone. When
he was 16, with thought Of the city,
and looked down at his gnarled hands,
that little girl had encouraged him.
When he said he must leave old associ-
atoms and go out into the battle of striy-
ing millions, that little girl had smile
on her lips, but tear in her eye-for
she had been his companion SO long, he
had governed her thoughts so long, that
she could not realize life without him.
But he kissed her, and went to town to
feel himself tossed about atom no one
noticed, and dreamed of her and missed
her, and wished for her companionship.
When he found employment and had a
miserable room for home, he one day
went to that home, and there was Sa-
lo1ne. After all, he was not so glad to
see her.
.Grandmother's dead" she said, in a
sort of triumph, land there's nobody To
keep me away. I've come to stay"
But this could not be, and 80 he told
her, and she hung her head.

pssaled to, and Salome went ont to serv.

being as she was, and he hoping to be
| Whit he had since Become thanks to his
wifes strength that made his.
And yet who had sent him from the
country? Who had told him to be a
lawyer, a judge2
Well, he went on with his writing,
naistily hearing the music in the room
beyond; naistily conscious that his wife
now and then changed her position, but
never took her eyes from the fire.
Now, was this man Dunlap hardened
criminal In the given evidence there
was nothing against his former life. He
had voluntarily confessed to taking the
money, and confessed without tremor,
looking his deceived employers in the
face with calm assurance, as though de-
spite his downfall and disgrace there
was something that kept him up. Peo-
pie might say he was sustained by the
fact that he had safely put away the
stolen money and, young yet, would en-
joy it after the term Of his incarceration.
Every man has his price, these pes
simists would argue, and 1t was worth a
few years in q prison cell with the mod
ern conveniences for what might be en-
joyed afterward. Disgrace? The world
is wide and money is IN open sesame to
much that makes life worth living
Consciencef What is conscience in these
days of Pluto and the veneration of the
kings Of stock speculation Ultimate
accountability Old men join church
when pleasure has ceased to allure, and
are sincere in the belief that there is
more joy in heaven over one repentant
sinner than over ninety and nine just
persons" etc, etc.
No clew to the money, no reproach of
the trust reposed in him, no promise of
leniency could get the slightest hint or
lie from the man. What power upheld
him2 The judge knew that men consid-
cred strongest are often weakest and
sustained by force not their own. Was
not his wife his own strength, his love
for his daughter secondary to that? So
he wrote and Thought, and cited cases
supposed to be analogous to the one in
hand, the simplicity Of which making
the matter ali the more difficult Was
the man guilty? The confession of an
accused man is not always to be taken
on trust, even when the confession is
self convicting. There was the case of
Blank, etc. And he consulted the sheep
slin volumes and wrote.

SHE FELT THE TOUCH OF HIS LIPS
The judge had not spoken siuce she
entered the room except to whisper her
name Every word she said smote him;
his long experience had given him many
instances Of women wzonged by men.
Here was woman as deeply wronged
py man as she could be-and the man
was himself. AL thst she was he had
made her; the wreck of all that should
have made her other than she was; her
wretched married life, her husbands
downfall, her nephew's disgrace, her
own torture that should last as long as
she-he had done it all. What misery
Of soul had been hers since that day
when she had stood before MN and
asked him if he wished to marry herl
Her love for him had made TINS ruin
and he had loved her and wronged her
love. She had always been fair to look
upon; she would have been beautiful

like young Wilmington having the &C
claim of bells, but earnestly hopeful Of
making his way, and so the lady looked
into the fare and thought.
The fire cracked and flashed up TO the
pictured eyes that looked down upon the
judge; from outside came the subdued
rattle of city night; a boy passed by
the house shrilly whisthng. The judge
wrote.
In the strokes of his pen, word by
word. letter by letter, he reasoned
against life gone wrong, a mind that
had digged beneath the ordinary in
guilt, while an equal effort in an oppo-
site direction might have won the adj
Iniration of healthful reasoning. But
had it been premeditationg Had it not
been moment Of temptation? And who
is beyond temptation, though of divinity
man be not tempted beyond what he Is
able to resist?
The case was one Of peculiar interest
to the Judge; his decision would be criti-
caliy examined. Just now, with the
goyernorship in the perspective, even
more than his enemies would grasp at
any flaw, the merest technicality. to
prove the feasibility of higher honors for
him. If he were lenisnt he might be ac-
cused of weakness; If he were as severe
as the fragrant crime might make the
ordinary man who espoused the cause of
an outraged business community, it
might be argued that Judge should be
a principle, never an Individual
So he must be careful, exact. having
before him nothing but the cold facts of
the case; be an impartial, soulless arbiter
of the evidence deduced in the trial.
From the room beyond came the acute
tones of piano. A little prelude was
played, and then clear, girlish voice
broke into song. 1t was tender little
ballad which the daughter Of the house
sang to the man who sought to win her.
In the study the mother of the daugh-
ter of the house, her gaze upon the fare
of the fire, thought Of the success to be
achieved by the daughter, as she had
ever thoughtof the success to be achieved
by the father of that daughter.
In the study the judge penned his de-
cision condemnatory of man not SO
many years older than the lover of the
daughter, with mean advantages, great
temptations and an activity to be depre-
Gated, as was the passivity of the other
man.
The song hoated into the study, plant
i've and aching, unsatished as all music
Is.
Did the judge hear it as he wrote his
decision? Did his wife hear 1t as she
dreamed her ambitious drearns?
