Vernon stood by bis desk, arranging
complacently the documents Miss
Greene had given him. Once or twice
he cleared his throat and wiped his
lips with his handkerchief. The other
senators subsidized into their seats.
and, seeing that they themselves we're
not then TO be permitted to speak, and
like all speakers, not caring to listen
to the speeches of others, they turned
philosophically to the little diversions
with which they whiled away the
hours of the writing letters,
reading newspapers, smoking. YER
non glanced around. Maria Greene
was sitting precariously on the edge
of divan. Her face was white and
drawn. She gave a quick nod, and a
smile just touched her fixed lips And
then Vernon began. He spoke slowly
and with vast elaboration; his voice
was very low. He outlined his sub
ject- with exquisite pains, detail by
detail, making 1t clear just what prop
ositions he would advance. His man
ner was that of the lawyer in an ap-
pellate court, making a mastery and
purely legal argument; when it was
done, the senate, If 1t had paid atten-
tion-though 1t seldom did pay atten-
tion--would know all about the ques-
ton of suffrage.
In his elaboration, Vernon glanced
now and then at Maria Greene. Her
eyes were sparkling with intelligent
interest. AS If to choose the lowest
point possible from which to trace the
rise and progress of legislation favor
able to women, Vernon would call the
attention of the senate first to the de-
cision of the Illinois supreme court In
re Bradwell, 55 ILL.,, 525. That was
away back in 1869, when the age was
virtually dark; and that was the case,
gentlemen would remember, just as II
they all kept each decision of the
court at their tongues ends, in which
the court held that no woman could be
admitted, under the laws of Illinois, to
practice as an attorney at law. But
and Vernon implored his colleagues to
mark-long years afterward, the court
of it's own motion entered nunc pro
tune order, reversing its own decision
in the Bradwell case. Vernon dilated

upon the importance of this decision;
he extolled the court; 1t had set 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 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 1885, and the sanitary district
act of 1890. Vernon spoke quite ia
military 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 Ill., 443; 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-
ing used up all the facts he had marked
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

SYNOPSIS.

Senator Morley Vernons visit with his
hancee 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 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
a 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 Vernons promise to
vote for the suffrage resolution. He also
aided her by convincing others. He took
liking to the fair suffragette. Miss
Greene consulted with the Lieutenant gov
ernor. Vernon admitted to himself that
the suffragette had stirred a strange feel
Ing within him. He forgot to read his
dancee's letter.

Worth the EXPENSE,

The story that Sir John Fisher of
the British admiralty tells with the
greatest enjoyment-andhe tells many
and all with zest-is of an old boat
swain on his flagship who fell into a
little money and retired. One day
the admiral visited him at his coun
try box, to find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless man
servant.
What do you want with him?'
asked Fisher.
"H'every morning" explained the
old sailor, "'e comes to me 'ammocb
and tells me to roll hout. The had
miral wants to see you e says to me

to go to ELL says H."

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 tines 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; it seemed to be able to COM
prehend all realms Of thought at once.
But it 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
cheeks flush pink! She would raise
her hand and put back her hair with
that pretty mannerism of hers; then
lmpulsively 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 chide 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 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 back 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
congratulation.
And 1t was this handsome youne
woman's presence in the chamber thai
gave rise to all this nervousness. He
was sure that he would not have beer
nervous If 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 tt
which it would be proper for her to go
She would wish she had heard this
speech, for In "a hours it 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 be an event tc
mark the beginning of new era
But his imaginings were broken, his
name was spoken; he turned and saw
Miss Greene.
Come" she said. TITS 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
know-I haven't even arranged for
recognition"
"Oh, I'll fixed all that!" the woman
said. THE lieutenant-governor prom
ised me-" She was holding her rustline
skirts and almost running.

She Got the Letter.

The post Office official put on his
severest manner.
You say you mailed the letter
about half an hour ago at window in
the east CORRIDOR" he asked.
The beautiful woman dabbled a
handkerchief at her soulful eyes and
at the tip Of her classic nose.
Yes, yes" she said.
ITO whom was it addressed?"
She told him.
"And now you want to stop that
letter." he went on, still more stern.
ly. You want to get 1t back? "Why?"
Because" said the woman with un.
premeditated frankness. II am afraid
his wife will get it."
"Oh," said the stern official
She got the letter.

IDENTIFIES ALLEGED ROBBER,
Local Resident Attends Hearing in
New York CITY.

New York City.
At a hearing before United States
Commissioner Shields in New York yes
terday, Mrs. Rose NJ. Brown Of 1910 G
street northwest identified Thomas Lyons
as the man who, she says, stole $500
from her home.
Mrs. Browns testimony was supported
by Walter H. Shipman of the Young
Mems Christian Association in this city
and Edward r. Pitcher, a carpenter en-
ployed in a house next door to Mrs.
Browns residence.
During the hearing. Lyons, with nine
other men. all of whom bore likeness to
him. were placed in line. Lyons wearing a
cap instead of his usual derby Without
hesitancy. Mrs. Brown identified Lyons as
the man who she claims robbed her. All
efforts of Lyons attorney to make her
change her decision proved futile. Mr.
Shipman, to whom Lyons and his partner
are said to have applied for informa ton
regarding rooms. and who referred them
to Mrs. Brown also identified the men, At
Lyons wore soft hat, and he also
picked him out of the line of men.
When Mr.. Pitcher was called into court
there were only nine men in the line,
Lyons having been seated in chair
some distance away. When asked to pick
out Lyons from the line of men, Mr.
Pitcher said he was not there, but. upon
looking about the room, identified him
sitting in the chair.
In his effort to continue his fight against
extradition Lyons asked for a continu-
ance of the case until Thursday next,
when. his attorney told the commissioner,
he will produce the man who committed
the robbery. Bail was fixed at 5000 for
Lyons appearance at that time.

Show for Benefit Of Widows and Or

An increase in attendance was noted
at the Eagles carnival. at New Jersey
avenue and street at the opening of
the second week last evening. The
throng of merrymakers filled the tented
circle through the evening, and the show
men were kept busy handling the big
and little folks who came to view the
attractions.
An unusual collection of wild beasts,
lions, tigers, bears. hyenas and a score
OF other ferocious animals of the wilds
have been tanned into submission and
tricks, but with not sufficient docility to
remove all excitement and the element
of danger. The show is the sort that

the performers have carefully made their
way to the door Of the cage, wherein
they risked life to exhibit their control

and spring as the door snaps shut.
All the other attractions, including the

LOVERS WED BY RUSE.
Bride-to-Be Leaves Mother at Thea
ter to Go to Be Married.

Parental opposition to a romance, dat
ing back to their school days, was de-
feated by ruse, and yesterday afternoon
Miss Fredericka Quitman Sanders became
Mrs. Carleton Mowbray, wife of a young
business man of st. Louis, Mo-. when
they were quietly married by Rev. r. p
Williams. in the rectory of Trinity Church
The mother of the bride was opposed to
the match. Cupid invented one of his
ingenious little tricks to aid the pair
Miss Sanders induced her mother to ac-
company her to the vaudeville yesterday
afternoon. When the performance was
but half over she complained of being ILL.,
She declared she would have TO leave. but
insisted that her mother should not forego
the rest of the performance.
The ruse worked. The young lady met
Mr.. Mowbray outside. She accompanied
him to the church, where he had already
made all necessary arrangements.
Miss Sanders and Mr.. Mowbray first
met as children in the Franklin School.
Afterward they drifted apart. the young
lady to study at Gunston Institute, her
admirer going into the fields of business,
Hhch finally took him to st. Louis.
Both prospered. but evidently did not
forget one another. 1t is probable the
couple will make their future home in
the western city.

ALDR|CH wins OUT
Finance Committee Sustained
by the Senate.
RATES ON LEAD ADOPTED
Progressive Republicans Defeated by
Nine Votes.
EFFORT FOR LOWER DUTY FAILS
Another Tilt Between the Rhode Is
land Senator and Beveridge-Two
Democrats for Higher Rates.
RATES ON LEAD ADOPTED
EFFORT FOR LOWER DUTY FAILS

The progressive" republicans in the
Senate went down to defeat late yester-
day afternoon by nine votes in their
effort to force a lower duty than the
Dingley rate on lead bullion and pig lead.
On the first vote forty-two republicans
and two democrats voted to sustain the
finance committees amendment imposing
a duty of rs cents pound on this
product. This show of hands was upon
an amendment proposed by Senator Cum
minis Of Iowa for a duty of Is cents. for
which only eleven republicans and twen-
ty-four democrats voted Mr.. Cummins'
proposition was therefore lost by 50 TO A
votes.
The Progressives.
The "progressves" voting for the lower
duty were Senators bolivar and Cum
Minis of Iowa. Nelson and Clapp of Min
nesota. Crawford and Gamble of South
Dakota, Burkett and Brown OF Nebraska.
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Bristow of
Kansas and Beveridge OF Indiana. The
two democrats voting for the higher duty
were McEnery Of Louisiana and Hughes
of Colorado.
After the defeat of the Cummlns amend
ment, Mr.. Beveridge offered one of his
y
on lead bullion and pig lead, which failed.
81 to 45. The only difference was that
Senators Foster of Louisiana and Owen OF
Oklahoma, two democrats who failed to
vote before. rallied to Mr.. Beveridges
support. while two more republicans came
into the chamber and voted the other
way-McCumber Of North Dakota and
Dillingham; of Vermont. Senator Nc
Emery, one Of the two democrats who
voted for the higher duty before, did not
second
call.
Committee Amendment Adopted.
The committee amendment was then
adopted by a viva voce vote.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee, and Senator Beveridge had
little tilt before the final vote was taken.
The Indianian declared that there could
be no doubt about the republican plat
form having meant revision downward
in the minds of the people. No new facts
had been presented, he held, to justify
the Senate committee in increasing the
House rate Of III cents pound on these
forms of lead. which had been decided
upon after a long and careful inquiry into
the subject.
Mr. Aldrich replied that a duty was
either protective or 1t was not, and that
the 21s cents was absolutely necessary
to protect the American lead producers.
SO that was all there was to 1t.
Mr.. Beveridge wanted to know whether
there was anything sacred about the
fraction u. and Mr.. Hepburn of Idaho
said it was as bad to leave the door open
an inch as to throw IT wide open.
In answer to this MIR. Beveridge did
little paraphrasing. and declared the peo-
pie would stand for millions for prOtec-
ton, but not one cent for extortion.
