SYNOPSIS.

Senate. Morley Vernon's visit with his
aancee was interrupted by a call from
his political boss at the state capital.
Both regretted it, the girl more than he,
because she had arranged to attend q
dinner that evening with him. She said
she Iyearned for a national office for him;

aided her by convincing others. He took

Greene consulted with the lieutenant- gov.

the suffragette had stirred a strange feel

speech in favor of suffrage. aided by
glances from Miss Greene The resolution
was made a special order. Vernon was
enthusiastic on the prospects for the res

of his services, and saying that she
would reach pringheld-Wednesd
morning.
Meanwhile he had had no letter
from Amelia, and he began to wonder
at her silence. He was not only dis
appointed, but piqued. He felt that
his achievement deserved the prompt
est recognition from her, but he found
consolation, that grew in spite Of
him, in the thought that Maria Greene
would soon be in Springfield, and to
his heart he permitted Amelia's ST.

gence of attention to this fascinating

Of politics was suddenly added the heat
of summer. Doors and windows were
flung wide to the night, and the tall
Egyptians, used as they were to the
sultry atmosphere of southern Illinois,
strobe lazily about under their wide
SLOUGH hats with waistcoats open and
cravats loosened, delighting in a new
cause for chatting the Chicago men,
who had resumed their customary
complaints of the Springfield weather.

trot.
II do wish you could know the
women I know" said Vernon, obvi-
ously breaking silence. He spoke in
an entirely different voice. Il meant
to put it the other way. I meant that

mean that they shall. You would be a
revelation to them
Miss Greene smiled, though her face
was now careworn, almost old.
Right along the line of our consti-
tutional amendment, now" he said,
with briskness, do you think the
women will become interested?"
"The women of your acquaintance,
or of mine?" asked Miss Greene.
You're guying," said Vernon, and
when Miss Greene seriously protested,
Vernon said he meant all the women,
as politicians pretend to mean all the
people, when they mean only the
party.
I'm afraid not" she said. "They
could have the ballot tomorrow if
they'd only ask for it. The trouble is
they don't want it,
well, we must educate them," said
Vernon. Il have great hopes that the

Il have no doubt they WILL" said
Miss Greene. There was something
enigmatical in her words, and Vernon
glanced uneasily at her again.
How do you mean?" he asked.

newspapers tomorrow" said Miss
Greene.

relief in a light bantering tone.
Il thought we were not going to

looking at him. She adjusted her hat
and held herself resolutely erect.

number Of accidents are not so great
as the percentage figures would seem

It must be remarked also that
these figures refer to passengers alone.

are taken into account. For instance.

CHAPTER Viii.

Miss Greene's predictions were all
realized in the sensation Vernon's
speech created. The newspapers gave
whole columns to it and illustrated
their accounts with portraits of Yer
non and of Maria Greene. Vernon
thought of the pleasure Amelia must
find in his new fame, and when he
wrote to her he referred briefly but
with the proper modesty to his re-
markable personal triumph, and then
waited for her congratulations.
The legislative session was drawing
to a close; the customary Friday ad-
journment was not taken, but sessions
were held that day and on Saturday,
for the work was piling up, the pro-
crastinating legislators having left it
all for the last minute.
The week following would see house
and senate sweltering in shirt sleeves
and night sessions, and now, if bill
were to become law it was necessary
that its sponsor stay, as it were, close
beside it, lest in the mighty rush of
the last few days it be lost.
Vernon, by virtue of his speech.
had assumed the championship of the
woman-suffrage resolution, and he felt
it necessary to forego his customary
visit to Chicago that week and remain
over Sunday in Springfield. He devoted
the day to composing a long letter to
Miss Greene, in which he described
the situation in detail, and suggested
that it would be we'll for her, if pos
sible, to come down to Springfield on
Monday and stay until the resolution
had been adopted. He gave her, in
closing, such pledges of his devotion
to the cause of womankind that she
could hardly resist any appeal he
might make for her presence and as
sistance.
On Monday he wired, urging the
necessity Of her presence. Tuesday
morning brought him a reply, thank
ing him, in behalf of women, for his

would give up easily an object he had
set out to win, especially If that OBJ
ject had flashing black eyes, shining
jet hair and cheeks and lips that would
set the blood coursing through colder
veins than his.
To accomplish the plan which the
"Gentleman's Club" had fixed upon II
was necessary that "The Pawn
should be enticed to one of the nightly
meetings. This at last was brought
about by Diaz, arch diplomat of the
crowd. The club was gathered in the
paternal Dlaz' law Office when "The
Pawn" slipped in, took his seat and
sat in discreet silence.

Childress, that you and Mary Ash

the labored breathing of the combat.

corner his face showed red and
bloody. He seemed to be dripping
with gore. He was. It took whole
bottle of red ink.
He saw "The Pawn" and started up
the stairway shouting:
There he is! He cut me! See
fellows; he's got knife!"
The conspirators slipped quietly
away while Diaz went back to lock
up the Office and, perchance. manu-
facture additional evidence.
When he entered "The Pawn waa

"Come, come, Chess" said Diaz,

on, you'd better go home and in the
morning it won't bother you Bit"
In the meantime the further details
Of the plot were worked out over a
