he cleared his throat and wiped his
lips with his handkerchief. The other
senators subsidized into their seats.
and, seeing that they themselves were
not then to bc permitted to speak, and
like all speakers, not caring to listen
to the speeches of others. they turned

was very low. He outlined his sub

SYNOPSIS.
Copyright, 1907. by Bobbs.Merrl

Senator Morley Vernon's visit with his
fancee was interrupted by call from
his political boss at the state capital.
Both regretted 1t. the girl more than he.
because she had arranged to attend a
dinner that evening with him. She said
she yearned for a national office for him.
On Vernon's desk in the senate he found
n red rose. accompanied by a plea for
suffrage for women. He met the au-
thoress. pretty Miss Maria Greene of
Chicago. who proposed to convert him
into voting for house resolution No. 10.
Miss Greene secured vernon's promise to
vote for the suffrage resolution. He also
aided her by convincing others. He took
n liking to the fair sunragette. Miss
Greene consulted with the lieutenant-Sov-
ernor. Vernon admitted to himself that
hancee's letter.

"This Recognition Of Her Equality Can.
not Be overestinated in importance"

upon the Importance of this decision:
he extolled the court: II had set n white
milestone to mark the progressing
emancipation OF the race. Then.
briefly. he proposed to outline for them
the legislative steps by which woman's
right to equality with man had been
at least partly recognized.
He fumbled for a moment among
the papers on his desk. until he found
one OF the pamphlets Miss Greene had
given him. and then he said he wished
to call the senate's attention to the
employment act of 1872. the drainage
act of 1855. and the sanitary district
act of 1890. Vernon spoke quite ia
miliarly of these acts. Furthermore.
gentlemen would, he was sure. instant
ly recall the decisions OF the courts in
which those acts were under review.
as. for Instance, in Wilson VS.. Board
Of Trustees. 1873 III. 4i3: and in Daven-
port vs.. Drainage Commissioners, 25
Ill. App. 90.
Those among the senators who were
lawyers. as most OF them were. looked
up from their letter writing at this.
and nodded profoundly. in order to
show their familiarity with Vernon's
citations, although, of course. they
never had heard of the cases before.
This recognition of woman's nat.
ural right" Vernon shouted, this rec
ognition OF her equality with man, can
not be overestimated in Importance"
He shook his head fiercely and struck
his desk with his fist But then, hav-
l. -. a al a
in Miss Greene's pamphlets. he was
forced to become more general in his
remarks, and so he began to celebrate
woman, ecstatically. He conjured for
the senators the presence OF their
mothers and sisters. their sweethearts
and wives; and then. some quotations
fortunately occurring to him, he re-
minded them that Castiglione had tru-
ly said that God is seen only through
women" that the woman's soul lead

CHAPTER iv.-cont;nued.

Once or twice he glanced into the
pamphlets Miss Greene had given him.
but he could not fix his mind on them;
their types danced meaninglessly be-
fore his eyes. He was angry with him
self for this nervousness. Why must
1t assail him now. Just when he wished
to be at his best? He had spoken be-
fore. a hundred times: he knew his
audience. and he had the proper con-
tempt for his colleagues. He had
never. to be sure. made a set speech
in that presence; seldom did any one
do that; the speeches were usually
short and impromptu. and there was
no time for anticipation to generate
nervous dread. And yet his mind
seemed TO be extraordinarily clear
just then: II seemed to be able to COM
prehend all realms of thought at once.
But II was not so much the speech
he thought OF. as the effect OF the
speech; already he could see the news.
papers and the big headlines they
would display on their first pages the
next morning: he could see his mother
reading them at breakfast, and then
he could see Amelia reading them.
How her dark eyes would widen. her
checks flush pink, She would raise
her hand and put back her hair with
that pretty mannerIsm of hers; then
impulsively resting her arms on the
table before her, she would eagerly
read the long columns through. while
her mother reminded her that her
breakfast was getting cold. How
proud she would be OF him! She
would never chids him again: she
would see that at last he had found
himself
The Eltons, too. would read. and his
absence from their dinner would react
on them impressively. And Maria
Greene-but a confusion arose-Maria
Greene! He had not thought of
Amelia all the morning until that very
instant: Amelia's letter lay still un-
opened on his deck lack there in the
senate chamber. Maria Greene, She
would hear. she would color as she
looked at him, and her eyes would
glow; he could feel the warm pressure
of the hand she would give him in
consratulation.
And 1t was this handsome young
Moman's presence in the chamber that
gave rise to all this nervousness. He
was sure that he would not have been
nervous II Amelia were to be there
She had never heard him speak in
public. though he had often pressed
her to do SO: somehow the places
where he spoke were never those to
which 1t would be proper for her to go.
She would wish she had heard this
speech, for in "a hours II would be
the one topic OF conversation through.
out the state: his picture would be in
the newspapers-"The brilliant young
Chicago lawyer who electrified the
Illinois senate with his passionate ora
tory and passed the woman suffrage
measure" 1t would oe an event TO
mark the beginning of new era
But his imaginings were broken, his
name was spoken; he turned and saw
Miss Greene.
Come" she said. It's up. Hurry"
She was excited and her cheeks
glowed. His teeth began to chatter.
He followed her quick steps in the
direction of the chamber
But" he stammered Il didn't

said. The lieutenant governor prom.

The beautiful woman dabbled Q
handkerchief at her soulful eyes and
at the tip OF her classic nose.
Yes, yes" she said.
TO whom was II addressed?'
She told him.
And now you want to stop that
letter." he went on. still more stern.
