from the. house of her husbands
parents than at that moment. She
slipped little coffee and then with
drew again to her room, just to be
alone. When, Brownlee, M. c., en-
tered, she was lying on the bed fully
dressed, weeping.
What passed between them in the
interview that took place is matter
of conjecture. The result became evil
dent when the bus drove up to the
Brownlee mansion that evening, and
Mr.. and Mrs Brownlee, the younger,
got in and rode to the depot. Brown
lee saw his wife safely aboard the Pull
man car, and then stood on the plat
form and watched the train disappear
in the distance. The same set of ruff
fan constituents who greeted him on
his arrival were occupying their accus-
toned place on the platform, and in
dulged in their favorite pastime of
heaving fossilized jokes at their repre-
sentative in congress. Brownlee swal-
lowed it all in good part, and then
turned his back to the station and
sauntered toward the parental man
sion with the weary step of man who
has load on his conscience,
But that did not deter Brownlee
from getting out and hustling. 1t he
had worked like Trojan the first time
for his nomination, he threw the en-
ergy Of a double dose of Trojan devo-
ton into his efforts now. All the
voters in the district did not know
no ha OF ha 10
and what Brownlee himself knew, that
he came of the commonest stock Of
white blood in the state. They per-
haps didn't care. Brownlee had been
a good member, and he could talk like
threshing machine, and his genial
manners carried the day, and the re-
suit of it all was that he was renomi-
mated and elected, and went back to
Washington to finish his unexpired
term of service in the house.
His wife sat in the gallery one day
unseen by him when great debate
was on. Brownlee had prepared him
self for the master effort of his life. He
had got the consent of the leaders on his
side to make a speech. He attracted
little attention as he arose, and with
his genial smile glanced over the house,
drew deep breath and launched
forth. But by and by he warmed to
his subject, and here and there mem
Der on the other side interrupted him.
Then suddenly Brownlees genius
flashed forth in all it's originality.
Several members who had tried to trip
him found themselves numerically i'm
paled upon the fiery shafts of Brown
lees sharp retorts and held up to the
ridicule of the house, while Brownlee
smiled in that fetching way of his that
made him resemble an expert conjurer
when he contemplates the astonish-
ment of the deluded victims of his
craftiness
Before he sat down Brownlee had
scored a triumph that insured him
a place on one of the big committees in
the house when the next congress
should organize.
One of the doorkeepers handed him a
note. He was receiving the congratu-
lations of his side of the house, and he
did not open it for several minutes,
holding it almost forgotten in his |
closed hand. When he opened it he
read:
DEAR ALLY: 1 am ready to beg your pardon

TUNISIAN WOMEN.
They Are Not Beautiful aud Have No Taste
in Dress.


The Tunisian Moor delights in color,
but has a scrupulous regard for har-
mony and preference for half-tones.
1t was rather a shock to me to learn
from a wealthy Moorish merchant in
the Souk-el-Farashin that most of
those dove-gray, olive-brcwn, olive
green, pale-blue, pink, puce and apple
green robes which l had admired as so
distinctively Oriental, were manufac-
tured in Birmingham and in the
French midlands! On the other hand,
the Tunisian women, of the better
class at any rate, are without grace of
figure, elegance of carriage or taste in
dress.
Their garments, often of rare work.
manship and beautiful texture, seem
as though they had been put on any
how. and even with a distinct aim at
uncomeliness, and the custom of the
ladies to walk with upheld, distended
wells adds to the general aspect of an
almost ludicrous ungainliness. OF
their features one can judge only hap
hazard, for Europeans have few oppor-
tunities for seeing Tunisian ladies face
to face.
Those whom l did see were some
times comedy enough, after a fashion,
but with expressions so inane and eyes
so lusterless that the yashmak might
well be considered quite unnecessary
as protection against the license OF
male eyes-Good Words

They removed their hats and stared
at the lady like q lot Of pumpkins; but
this diversion continued only until the
most loud-spoken constituent could
think of saying something that was in
tended for compliment to Mrs
Brownlee, but which ricochetted upon
her husband in the form of another
rude sally at the metamorphosis Of his
condition, when they all haw-hawedi in
chorus.
Mrs. Brownlee was beginning to get
shocked. The smell of the coal oil
made her i'll, and she pinched her hus-
bands arm as signal to break away
and HE to the bosom of his family.
Brownlee cursed himself and the
crowd, and for the first time in his life
felt sorry that he ever married Out

his chagrin, but smiled and cracked

less persifage of his ill-bred constitu-
ents. He finally managed to get his
wife and himself into foul-smelling
little country bus that carried passen-
gers; and hoarse shout that sounded
half derisive to the well-trained per-
ceptive faculties of Mrs. Brownlee
went up from the platform through
the darkness and rain as they drove
away.
Brownlee told the bus driver to stop
at the hotel. He did, but the owner
was tearing down that part of the
building where the rooms for guests
were located, to rebuild, he said, 'agin

court time" and there was no place
there for them. So there was nothing
to do but what Brownlee, in the most
desperate calculation of his chances
had never contemplated even as a last
resort-stop at his home.
Daisy" said he, in hoarse voice,
as the bus slashed through the mire of
the road; "Daisy"-softly taking her
hand in his-''are you prepared to
make sacrifice for me; greater, hope,
than any shall ever ask you to make
for me again in all our lives?"
She said YES" YEARLY, with her
head swaying loosely on her shoulders
like sick child's; what do you ask
me?'
THAT you will not hate and despise
me when l introduce you to my father
and mother" he said, tenderly.
'They are poor, then?" she asked in
that same weary tone.
'They are the commonest people in
the state; they are SO common that
when every body in town had the chol-
era it passed them by as not worth
noticing"
''My." she exclaimed. "How did you
ever get into congress"
''By my own efforts, and not with
the help of anybody in the world: l
just simply hustled for it."
"We1l," she said, ''let it come"
What she meant by ''let it comet" Is
something that must be left to the solu-
ton of the reader, but the resigned tone
in which she uttered that dictum i'm
piled that as nothing worse than meet
ing the commonest people in the state
could come to her, it was as well to let
it come then as any time.
The parental Brownies lived In
plain, yellow frame house, colonial in
style, in that it shot upward on four
sides like a big box, but without any
ornate adornments under the caves and
without even a veranda, except small
one that afforded view of the cabbage
patch and big sty in the farther per-
spective at the back of the house.
Brownlee's mother smoked a corncob
pipe and had whiskers. Brownlee's
father ate his supper in his shirt
and wore cowhide boots out
side of his pants while he was eating it.
The wonder is that he didn't go to bed
with them. The furniture was scant,
and they rented the house; that is, they
rented it, but Brownlee, "a. c., paid the |
rent.
The greeting that the Brownies,

Brownlee was something of a cook,
and soon had a repast steaming on the
table.
1t wasn't a bad supper, but Mrs.
