CHAPTER x.

CH AHIER N.
1t was crisp, cold, sunny morning to-
ward the last of January, and all the
Washington world was packed in the
Senate galleries at the capitol, the occa-
zion being the speech of one of the ms
ter minds of the Senate on very lmpor-
tant subject that was just then agitat-
ing the country North and South. Peo-
pie who have edded thither with the
crowd are occupying seats where they
command a good view of the Senate
floor There they are-Mrs. Conway in
black silk, bonnet to match, and the
yellowest and costliest of real lace shad-
ing throat and wrsts--an out and-out
aristocrat from the tip of her streaming
ostrich plume to her small kid boot. Near
her sits Lulu Clendenon, the brilliant
center of many admiring eyes. The lit
tie Norfolk beauty has become noted
belle under the chaperonage of Mrs. Con-
way and to-day she looks rarely beau
tiful in her brown silk dress, with soft
facings and trimming. of seal brown
velvet, her soft brown durs, and sash
of fringed scarlet silk al her throat con-
filming the soft la, frill. Her great vel
vet-brown eyes hold two restless stars,
her round cheeks are dashed with fitful
scarlet, 9p her nut-brown hair is arrang-
ed on tbs top of her head in mass Of
lustrous braids, and one long heavy ring
let floats over her sloping shoulder.
Bruce Conway, languid, handsome; ele-
giant, in attendance on the little beauty,
is the envy of half the Washington fops.
| They sit dutifully still and listen to the
| learned harangue from the Senator on
| the floor below, admire his tropaS, fol-
| low his gestures, wonder how much long
er he is going to continue, until Bruce,
who has come there every day that week,
| and listened to 'that sort of thing" till
he wearies of it all, loses his interest in
the subject, and allows his appreciative
glance to wander over the galleries at
the beaming faces of the fair"
| lawfully slow" he says, glancing at
his watch. ooh! l say, did I tell you,
Brownie, or did You know that Winans
is expected to reply to this speech?'
mo. Is hep she asks, eagerly.
Eyes; and the other is winding up his
peroration now, 1 think. All! there he
sits down, and there is my lordly Wi
mans rising now-how kingly he looks"
man who is his enemy.
Lulu settled herself for strict attention,
as did every one else, a low hum of adj
miration echoed through the galleries,
and then silence fell as the musical, reso-
nant voice of Paul Winans filled the
grand old Senate Chamber, weakening
the strong points of his opponent in the
political field with clear practical rea-
soning, handling his subject skillfully and
we'll, keen shafts of wit and sarcasm
flashing from his lips, his dark eyes
burning with inspiration, his whole
frame expanding with the fiery elo-
quence that carried his audience along
with him on its sparkling tide. He had
never spoken so ably and brilliantly be-
fore, and low murmured praises echoed
on all sides.
