Pink Willis, the negro who on Sat

to crIminally assault the little daugh-
ter Of former Sheriff J, A. Moody, Of
Poplarville, Pearl River county was
taken from the jail at that place Sun
day night and hanged 10y a mob OF
several hundred white men. The
mob stormed the jail In which the
black brute was lodged and battered
down the doors after having over
powered the sheriff, Mr.. II. X. Rouse.
A jury of inquest on Monday returned
verdict OF death by hanging at the
hands OF parties unknown. So ends
this case as all Others OF a similar
nature. Our women will be speeedil,

CHAPTER III.

The surprise had leaped to vernon's
eyes again at the final impression of
perfection made by her voice, and the
surprise changed to a regret of lost
and irreclaimable opportunity when
he reflected that he had lived for years
near this woman lawyer and yet never
had seen her once In all that time.
When Miss Greene turned to look him
in the face again, after the others
were gone, Vernon grew suddenly
bashful, like a big boy. He felt his
face flame hotly. He had been medi-
tating some drawing-room speech; he
had already turned in his mind a pret-
ty sentence in which there was a dis
Greet reference to Portia: Vernon was
just at the age for classical allusions
But when he saw her blue eyes fixed
on him and read the utter seriousness
in them he knew that compliments
would all be lost.
Il am one of your constituents. Sem
ator Vernon she began. "and I am
down. frankly. lobbying for this reso-
luton"
And we BOTH" he replied, "are,
believe, members OF the Cook county
bar. Strange. isn't 1t. that two Chi
cago lawyers should have to wait I'M
til they are in Springfield to meet?"
Not altogether" she said. ut is
not so very strange-my practice is
almost wholly confined to office work;
l am more of counselor than a bar
rister. I have not often appeared in
court; in fact 1 prefer not to do SO;
am-well. just a little timid in that
part Of the work.
The femininity of 1t touched him.
He might have told her that he did
not often appear in court himself, but
he was new enough at the bar to have
to practice the discrimination of the
young professional man. He indulged
himself in the temptation to allow her
to go undeceived, though with a pang
he remembered that her practice, from
all that he had heard. must be much
more lucrative than his. Something of
the pretty embarrassment she felt be-
fore courts and juries was evidently
on her in this her first appearance in
the senate. but she put it away; her
breast rose with the deep breath of
resolution she drew, and she straight
ened to look him once more in the
eyes.
But about this resolution, Senator
Vernon; | must not take up too much
of your time. If you will give me
your objections to it perhaps l may be
able to explain them away. We
should very much like to have your
support"

tures--the delicate nose. he full aps,
the perfect teeth, the fine chin-all
were lost in the eyes that looked
frankly at him. AS he gazed he was
conscious that he feared to hear her
speak; surely her voice would betray
her masculine quality.
She had seated herself again. and
now made a movement that suggested
a drawing aside of her skirts to make
a place for some one at her side. And
then she spoke.
"WiIl you sit down, Senator Yer
nonr" she said, with scrupulous re-
gard for title unusual in a woman. II
must make convert of Senator Yer
non, you know" she smiled on the
other men about her. Her accent i'm
piled that this conversion was of the
utmost importance. The other men, OF
whom she seemed to be quite sure.
evidently felt themselves under the
compulsion of Withdrawing. and SO
fell back In reluctant retreat.

the woman lawyer. Vernon had heard
of her often; he had never seen her.
He gave little sniff of disgust.
The senate was droning along on
the order of reports from standing
committees. and Vernon. growing tired
of the monotony, rose and sauntered
pack to the lobby in search of COM
pany more congenial than that of the
gruff Burns. He carried the rose as
he went, raising 1t now and then to
enjoy its cool petals and its fragrance.
On one of the leather divans that
stretch themselves invitingly under
the tall windows on each side of the
senate chamber sat a woman. and

bending deferentially AS he passed
within easy distance one of the men
saw him and beckoned. Vernon went
over to them.
Miss Greene said Senator Martin,
| 'let me present Senator Vernon of
| Chicago"
Miss Greene gave him the little
hand that looked yet smaller in it's
glove of black suede. He bowed low
to conceal q surprise that had sprung
incautiously to his eyes. Instead of
the thin, short-haired specialized old
maid that had always. in his mind,
| typifed Maria Burley Greene. here
was young woman who apparently
conformed to every fashion, though
her beauty and distinction might have
made her independent of conventions.
Physically she was too nearly per-
feet to give at once an impression of
aristocracy; but it was her expression
that charmed; it was plain that her
intellectually was of the higher de-
| grees.
AS Vernon possessed himself he
was able to note that this surprising
| young woman was clad in black trav-
cling gown that fitted her perfectly.
From her spring hat down to the toes
of her boots there was nothing in her
attire that was mannish, but she was
of an exquisite daintiness wholly
feminine and alluring.
All these superficial things faded
into their proper background when.
at last, his eyes looked full in her
face. Reddish brown hair that doubt
less had been combed into some re-
semblance to the prevailing fashion
of the pompadour, had fallen in a
natural part on the right side and
lightly swept a, brow not too high. but
white and thoughtful. Her other fea-

female suffrage resolution he had
been obdurate, and when-with a ma
jority SO bare that sick men had to
be borne on cots into the house now
and then to pass its measures-the
party had succeeded. after Weeks OF
agony. in framing an apportionment
bill that satisfied every one, DR.. Ames
had seen his chance. He had fatty
refused to vote for the reapportion-
ment act unless his woman-suffrage
resolution were first adopted.
1t was useless for the party mana
gers to urge upon him the impossible
ity of providing the necessary two
thirds vote; Ames said he could get
