CHAPTER ~.

While Miss Greene sat chatting with
the lieutenant.govcrnor. who gladly
neglected the duties of his high office,
Vernon went out into the rotunda,
lighted a cigarette, glanced over the
pamphlets. and tried to arrange the
heads Of his speech in his mind.
At the thought of the speech, Yer
non grew cold and limp with nevous-
ness. His hands were Clammy, his
knees trembled, his mouth became dry
and parched, and the cigarette he had
lighted impaired all at once an evil
taste. Yet he smoked on, and as he
wandered around the rotunda, men
from both houses, passing to and fro,
greeted him, but they seemed to him
to be strange new creatures fitting by
in n dream. If he was conscious of
them at all it was only as of envied
beings, all on a common happy plane,
fortunate mes who did not have to
make a speech within the hour. He
went over to the state library, think
ing that its quiet would sOothe, but
when he stood among the tall stacks
of books he suddenly remembered that
he must not smoke in those precincts;
and so he turned out into the rotunda
again, for he must smoke. He walked
round and round the %rotunda, pausing
at times to lean over the brass railing
and look far down to the main floor
where the red light glowed at the
cigar stand; he sauntered back into
the dim and undisturbed corridors, his
mind racing owe all the things he
might say.

"Tll bring them to yon," Vernon
said. you sit here and hold court"
He rose and his eyes swept the
chamber. They lighted on Burns, and
an idea suddenly came to him. lie
would revenge himself on Burns for
all the sights of the session.
"Of course you'll have to see Sam
