their arrival at the inn. The blizzard
had not set In. Last night was dark,
of course. as there is no moon, but 1t
was clear and rather warm for the
time of year. The couple came here
about nine o'clock in a high power run

They had no hand baggage and appar-
emily had run out from New York.
Burton says he was on the point of
refusing them accommodation when
the man handed him hundred-dollar
bill. 1t was more than Burton's Gu
pidity could Withstand. They did not
register. The state license numbers
had been removed from the automo-
bile. which was of foreign make. OF
course 1t was only question Of time
until we could have found out who
the car belonged to. 1t is perfectly
obvious why he removed the num-

He sprang after her. grasping her
arm to lead her across the Icy plat
form to the automobile that stood In
the lee of the building.
Disdaining his command to enter
the tonneau, she stood beside the car
and waited until he cranked It and
took his place at the wheel. Then she
took her seat beside him and permit
ted him to tuck the great buffalo robe
about her. No word was spoken. The
man was stranger to her. She for
got his presence In the car.
Into the thick of the storm the mo-
tor chugged. Grim and silent, the
man at the wheel, ungoggled and
tense, sent the whirring thing swiftly
over the trackless village street and
out upon the open country road. The
woman closed her eyes and waited.
You would know the month was
March. He said: ct comes In like

moment she was moving forward res

A single electric light cleaned in
the corner beside the bureau. Near
the window stood the bed. She went
swiftly toward It. her eyes fastened
upon the ridge that ran through the
center OF It: still. white ridge that
seemed without beginning or end.
With nervous fingers the attendant

ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH.

The issue is no longer depend
ent for support on the Senators
and Representatives of the "suf-
frage" states. Some of its most
ardent champions represent
states where women are deprived
Of the ballot. Neither is it a
sectional issue, for, although the
overwhelming majority of the
Southern members are just now
bitterly anti such men as
Owen. of Oklahoma, Humphrey,
Of Mississippi, and Hobson, OF
Alabama, are outspoken in their
advocacy of the proposition.
These m n, and others WHO
think as they do. would eXper-
renee little difficulty in swinging
the South into line for the suff-
rage amendment if it were not
for the race issue. The South
has succeeded in disfranchising
them and in order to bring that
about has strained the constitu-
ton to the breaking point. The
majority of it's representatives
insist that the Stale and not the
Nation shall fix the qualifications
of voters and they fear that the
Slightest deviation from this
principle might lead to the en-
forcement of the provisions. OF
the fourteenth amendment and
that-they say-means negro
control of Southern elections.
There are some signs that this
negro bugaboo is Losing its po-
tency. AS / have shown, even
some of the Southern Members
of Congress are prepared to defy
lit, but, what is more significant
the women of the South are be-
ginning to demand that it shall
not be used as an excuse for
keeping them from the ballot

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

The other night a caucus of the
Democratic members of the
House decided by a vote of al
most two to one that woman
suffrage was a State and not a
National issue" and therefore
refused to create a Committee on
Suffrage, When we gathered in
the lobbies to discuss the result
one of the ablest of the leaders
of the Southern contingent said:
''We sidetracked woman's suf-
frage tonight and l voted with
the majority, but it's coming as
surely as death and taxes. You
might as we'll prepare to meet it.
No one who is in touch with
public sentiment here in Wash
ington and throughout the East
ern and Northern states cen for
a moment question the accuracy
of this statemen. The equal suf-
frage propaganda has spread
with amazing rapidity and man
must, indeed be blinded by his
prejudices if he fails to appreci-
ate the strength of the move
ment.
In the caucus 81 Democratic
Congressman were prepared to
brush aside the ancient doctrine
Of States rights in order to give
the women the ballot. If we
could bring the question to the
floor of the House, am conf
dent it would secure not less than
$50 votes or more than third of
the membership. 1t would prob
ably receive a clear majority in
the Senate.

Then, again, after she quits
college she has the time and
money to enable her to pursue
her researches. She invades the
congested districts Of the big
Eastern Cities and secures first
hand information concerning
white slavery, sweat shops,
overcrowded tenements and the
hundred and one problems puZ-
zling our philanthropists and law
makers.
She has been quick to discover
that the unfortunates of the
lower social strata are blood Of
her blood and bone of her bone,
and that they are perishing
because Of some horrid tangle in
or economic system. The dis9>
cave,y has made her a Democrat
in the hroadest and best sense
Of that much abused term--and
she calls for the ballot. not be-
cause she longs for an opportuni-
ty to push a bit of white paper
into a little square box but
because she wants to help
straighten things out.
AWAKENING IN THE EAST
The men of the East are
beginning to catch the spirit of
the movement. At first they
laughed at it, now they are al
most prepared to embraceit.
Next year New York votes on
a suffrage amendment to it's
constitution. Rnd-thin of it?
it was put through the legis-
lature by the Tammany Hall
leader. Senator Wagner.
The House of the New Jersey
legislature has adopted a suf-
frage am nendment with out only
four dissenting votes.

i've parties of Pennsylvania,
controlling almost two thirds of
the voters of that State, have
declared for votes for women"

Democratic movement. It has

are concentrating their energies
on the effort to secure the ballot

of what they intend to do with
that weapon when they secure it.
do not believe the average
man and especially the average
politician-has sensed this fact.
There is a wide spread notion
that most Of the women of means
and social position who have
allied themselves with the suf-
frage cause have done so because
they craved not notoriety.. Un-
doubtebly this is true of a few,
but it is not true of the great
majority.
The college woman. in my
Judgment. is the real leader of
the suffrage movement. She
studied political economy while
her bro her played football or
entertained the stars of the
chorus. AS a consequence she is
apt to have a profounder and
much more sympathetic grasp
of the twentieth century prob
lens than has the male members

SOME SIGNIFICANT STRAW S
Among those who appeared be-
fore the House Committee on
Rules to plead the cause of suf-
frage was Mr.. Desha Brecken-
ridge, wife of one of the most
distinguished members of this
famous Kentucky family.
For more than one hundred
years the men of Kentucky have
conducted the affairs of that
State. :" she said land what is
the result? Only two states in
the union have a higher percent
age of illiterates. Socially the
men of Kentucky toast their
women with their whisky and
their horses; politically, they cat
alogue them with the criminals
and the insane.
Il few weeks ago l was invited
by the women of Maryland, to
appear before a joint session of
the two Houses Of the Legisla-
ture ofgthat State, in support Of
suffrage amendment to the
state constitution and discovered
that the cultured wife Of the
Governor was an earnest advo-
cate of votes for women.
Last Saturday night while
spending the weekend with
friends at Warrenton. Virginia,
a short distance from Washing
ton, l was surprised to receive
an invitation to discuss equal
suffrage at public meeting ar
ranged by the ladies Of the town.
l found that the leaders of the
movement in that section belong
ed to the famous IF. F. vs."
The First Families of Virginia.
These are just straws, but they
indicate the way the wind is
blowing in the Southland, and
they mean. if they mean any
thing. that the women Of the
South will soon join their sisters

demand for the ballot. The re

YELIBERTY BILL
PROVES TREAT
TO ITS PATRONS

The Lion and the Mouse" which
is being produced at Ye Liberty
theater this week. is a delicious treat
for theatergoers. 1t is clean. whole
some, devoid of all morbidity, At fOT
any child or woman to see; it tells d
powerful story of the power of wealth !;
it tells love story that will warm the
cookies in any heart A very badge
of its superiority is that it is from the
pen of Charles Klein, the author of
THE Third Degree and other big
mainland successes. The Lion and
the Mouse" has been used as a vehicle
by some of Americas foremost actors
and the picture as shown at Ye Liber.
ty in six parts was enacted by an all
star cast of the Lubin repertoire.
The play would be notable one If
for no other reason than the magnifi-
cent and stupendous settings This Is
made necessary from the fact that the
central figure in the play is a man of
colossal wealth who has amassed the
fortune through selfish desire of con-
troll of men and affairs. The money
king has one great ambition; to amass
a fortune of such greatness as to be
able to crush anyone who opposes him.
A Judge stands in the way and he
ruins the jurist financially and socially
with a bride plot of which the Judge
is entirely innocent but to which the
judges wife falls a victim and for
which the jurist pays with his reputa-
ton and fortune.
The Judge has a daughter. The
l. hn1
people have both been travelling
abroad. The return on the same
steamer and during the voyage fall in
love. On her return the daughter
learns of her fathers disgrace She
determines to reach the money king
through his son to repair the wrong
which he had done her father She
writes book exposing the corruption
to which wealth is some times devoted
and painted the leading character so
wildly that the money king recognizes
himself as the original. He sends for
the author who had written the book |
under nom de plume. She works her
way into the good graces of the multi
to such an extent that she |
secures letter which proves that her |
iather was innocent of receiving the |
Dribe with which he had been charged. !
His son has told him that he was in |
owe with the daughter of the dis. |
sraced Judge and intended to marry |
her. The money king is furious at
