CHAPTER V.-Continued.

When he had done. there was a
moments stiffness; then came the long
sweep of applause that rang through
the chamber, and while the lieutenant
governor raped for order, men
crowded around Vernon and wrung his
hand. as he wiped his forehead with
his handkerchief. And then the roll
was called. 1t had not proceeded far
when there was that subtle change In
the atmosphere which is so easily rec
ognized by those who have acquired
the sense Of political aeroscepsy; the
change that betokens some new. un'
expected and dangerous maneuver.
Braidwood had come over from the
house. His face, framed in it's dark
beard, was stern and serious. He
whispered an instant to Porter, the
senate leader. Porter rose.
"Mr. President" he said.
The lieutenant governor was looking
at him expectantly.

lieutenant governor said.

CHAPTER VI.

After the adjournment Vernon
sought out Maria Greens and walked
with her down Capitol ven toward
the hotel. He vas prepared to enjoy
her congratulations, but she was silent
for a while, and before they spoke
again Doc" Ames, striding rapidly,
had caught up with them. He was
still scOwling.
Il was sorry you didn't finish your
speech as you intended, sir" he said,
with something of the accrbity of a
r%eproach.

him, q"

old man continued. but unfortunately
you did not cover 1t. You should have
developed ycar subject logically. as

you were going to do. An argument
based on principle would have been
more to the point than an appeal to
the passions. ! think Miss Greene will

liked to confer with you about what
you were going to say. 1t is not con
templated by those in the reform
movement that the charms of woman
shall be advanced as the reason for
her right to equal suffrage with man.
1t Is purely q matter of cold, abstract
justice. Now, for instance" the doctor
laid his finger in his palm, and began
to speak didactically, las l have
pointed out to the house. whatever the
power or the principle that gives to
man his right to make the law that
governs him, to woman 1t gives the
same right. In 81 states the married

In 16 the wife has no right to her own
earnings; In eight she has no separate
right to her property; In seven"

Relative to this incident, r. T. Barnum
used to tell this story:

said he had heard of Mr.. Howe's lib.

contribute toward building a church

Maria Greene would not let Vernon
attend to her tickets; she said it was
a matter of principle with her; but
late in the afternoon, when they had
had luncheon, and she had got the
tickets herself, she did accept his in
vitation to drive. The afternoon had
justified all the mornings promise of
a fine spring day. and as they left the
edges of the town and turned into the
road that stretched away over the low
undulations of ground they call hills
in Illinois, and lost itself mysteriously
in the country far beyond, Miss
Greene became enthusiastic.

that long forefnger. Vernon had no
chance to speak until they reached the
hotel. She was to take the midday

insisted on going to this station with
her. Just as she was about to leave

his political boss at the state capital.
Both regretted 1t. the girl more than he,
because she had arranged to attend q
dinner that evening with him. She said
she yearned for a national office for him:

OVER THE FENCE.
Neighbor Says Something.

council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street.
or for friendly gossip with next door

talk but other times n%cighbOr has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas. got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and so
weak | could scarcely walk.
"One day l al chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her | believed coffee hurt me.

to whom coffee was poison and h

advice right away but tried a change
of climate, which did not do me any
good. Then l dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
MY improvement began immediate.

weeks, all my pains were gone. Now !

of this Is due to my having Quit cot.

my son who was troubled with indi-
gestion thought that If Postum helped
me so, it might help him. 1t did, too,
and he is now well and strong again.

al, the gray dome of the state House
reared itself dominating the whole
sccne. The air shimmered in the haze
of spring. Birds we're chipping in the
hedges; o and then a meadow.lark
sprang into the air ard fled, crying out
its strange staccato song as 1t
skinned the surface Of the prairies.
Vernon idly snapped the whip as he
drove along; neither OF them seemed
to care to speak. Suddenly they
heard a distant, heavy thud. The
earth trembled slightly.

"Where?"
Down in the ground underneath

She gave him a strange look which
he did not comprehend. Then she
turned and glanced quickly at the black
breakers of the coal shaft. half a mile
away; then at the golf-players.
"Do the mines run under this
%ground?" she asked, sweeping her
hand about and including the links in
her gesture.
"Ycs, all over here, or rather under
here" Vernon said. He was proud Of
his knowledge of the locality. He
thought 1t argued we'll that a legislator
should be informed on all questions.
Maria thought a moment, then she
said:

Vernon looked at her in surprise.
The pleasure of the spring had gone
out of her eyes.
Drive on. please" she said.
There's no danger" said Vernon,
rcassuringly. clucking at his horse.
and the beast flung up its head In n
spasmodic burst of speed, as livery
stable horses will. The horse did not
have to trot very far to bear them
away from the crack of the golf balls
and the duh s"ubtcrranean echoes of
the miners blasts. but Vernon felt
that a cloud had floated all at once
over this first spring day. The woman
sitting there beside him seemed to
withdraw herself to an infinite dis.

said boldly:

"How did you?" she asked.

AN INDIGESTION

ously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things
they like; food sours in the stomach,
then chronic constipation begins, or,
as Is often the case. you have been

are forced and irregular.
