Nairobi, British East Africa-A
staff correspondent Of the Associated
Press returned to Nairobi Tuesday
morning after a two days visit at the
Roosevelt camp as the guest of Mr.
Roosevelt. The camp was located on
the Heatley ranch. on the banks of the
Nairobi river. Mr.. Roosevelt and his
son Kermit are in remarkably good
health and they are delighted with the
success Of their expedition. The ac-
curacy of the rifle fire of Mr.. oose-
welt and his son has astonished not
only the settlers, but the members Of
the party.

CHAPTER VI.

After the adjournment Vernon
sought out Maria Greene and walked
with her down Capitol avenue toward
the hotel. He was 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.
II was sorry you didn't finish your
speech as you intended. sir he said.
with something of the acerbity Of a
reproach.
Why" began Vernon, looking at
him, Z"
You laid out very broad and COM
prehensive ground for yourself" the
old man continued. but unfortunately
you did not cover it. You should have
developed your subject logically, as
had hopes, indeed. in the beginning,
you were going to do. An argument
based on principle would have been
more to the point than an appeal to
the passions. l think Miss Greene will
agree with me. am sorry you did not
acquaint me with your intention OF
addressing the senate on this impor-
tant measure; l would very much have
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 matter of cold, abstract
Justice. Now. for instance" the doctor
laid his finger in his palm, and began
to speak didactically. "as 1 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 it gives the
same right. In 81 states the married
mother has no right to her children:
earnings; in eight she has no separate
right to her property; in seven"
Vernon looked at Miss Greene help
lessly. but she was nodding her head
in acquiescence to each point the doc
tor laid down in his harsh palm with
that long forefinger. Vernon had no
chance to speak until they reached the
hotel She was to take the midday
train back to Chicago, and Vernon had
insisted on going to the station with
her. Just as she was about to leave
him to go up to her room she said, as
on sudden impulse:
DO you know that the women of
America, yes, the people Of America,
eve you debt?"

or its newly plowed clods glisteninE

like the sea. Far on. standing out
black and forbidding against the hori-
zon. they could see the ugly buildings
of a coal shaft: behind, above the
trees that grew for the city's shade
the convent lifted its tower. and, above
all. the gray dome of the State House
reared itself dominating the whole
scene The air shimmered in the haze
of spring. Birds were chirping in the
hedges: now and then a meadow-iark
sprang into the air and fed, crying out
its strange staccato song as II
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 distant. heavy thud. The
earth trembled slightly.

some alarm. 1t couldn't have been

"Where7"
Down in the ground underneath
US"
She gave him 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.
Yes, all over here. or rather under
here Vernon said. He was proud OF
his knowledge of the locality. He
thought it argued well that legislator
should be informed on all quesi IONS,
Maria thought a moment, theL she
said:
The golfers above, the miners be
low"
Vernon looked al 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
reassuringly clucking at his horse.
and the beast flung up its head in a
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 dull subterranean echoes of
the miners blasts. but Vernon felt
that cloud had fioated all at once
over this first spring day. The woman
sitting there beside him seemed to
withdraw herself to an infinite dis
tance.
You love the country" he asked,
feeling the need of speech.
Yes" she said, but she went no
farther
And you once lived there?"
Yes she said again, but she vouch-
safed no more. Vernon found a deep
curiosity springing within him; he
longed to know more about this younR
woman who in all outward ways
seemed to be just like the women he
knew. and yet was SO essentially diff
ferent from them. But though he tried,
he could not move her to speak OF her
own life or its affairs. At the last he
said boldly:
Tell me. how did you come TO be
a lawyer"
Miss Greene turned to meet his in
quisitive gaze
How did you?' she asked.
Vernon cracked his whip at the
road
we'll he stammered. Il don't
know. l had to do something"
so did L. she replied
Vernon cut the lazy horse with the
whip, and the horse jerked the buggy
as 1t made its professional feint AZ
trotting.

CHAPTER VII.

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
fine spring day. and as they left the
edges of the town and turned into the
road that stretched away over the low

New Oklahoma Texas Road
will be Guilt.

Enid, Okla, Sept. 15.-Of more than
usual interest to Enid people, and es-
pecially those who have become inter
ested in the line, is the report of the
auditors who recently examined the
books of the Enid, Ochiltree 4 West
ern railroad. The examination was
conducted for the purpose of ascertain
ing the correct status of the company
which proposed to build a line from
this city to Ochiltree, Texas, and in
which considerable Roadway has been
made. The report OF the auditors is
absolutely favorable TO the company
1t L. believed here that the work of Sc
curing bonuses and right-of-way for
the line will be commenced immedi-
ately and that no further complica-
tions will arise in the matter. Such a
road would be of inestimable benefit
to this city and country, and that it
will ultimately be built is confidently
believed by local parties interested.
