Senator Morley Vernon's vlalt with hi fiancee was by a call from hla political Interrupted boos at the atate capital. Ilnth regretted it, the girl more than be. Iwcauee she had to attend a dinner that eveningarranged with him. She said lie yearned for a national office for him. On Vernon'a dealt in the senate he found a red rose, accompanied by a ploa for He met the ausuffrage for women. thoress, pretty Miss Uarla Greene of Chicago, who proposed to cunvert him Into voting for house resolution No. 19. CHAPTER III, Continued. Vernon scarcely knew what to reply; such objections as he might have found at other times the old masculine objections to womens voting and meddling In politics had aU disappeared at sight of this remarkable young woman who wished to vote her self; he could not think of one of them, try as he would. His eyes were on the rose. "Perhaps your objections are merely prejudices," she ventured boldly, In her eyes a latent twinkle that disturbed him. 1 confess, Miss Greene, he began, trying to get back something of his senatorial dignity, such as state senatorial dignity is, "that I have not devoted much thought to the subject; am indeed rather ashamed to acknowledge that I did not even know the unamendment was coming up til I was ah so delightfully reminded by your rose. He raised the rose to Inhale Its fragrance. She made no reply, but she kept her eyes on him, and her gaze compelled him to go on. It was bard for himto go on, for it was now but a struggle against the formality of a surrender that had been inevitable from the beginning. But his mans pride forced him to delay It as long as possible. "What assurances have you from other senators? he asked. Though, perhaps, I need not ask they have unanimously mounted your colors. He looked-a- t his colleagues, sporting their roses. 'Miss Greene gave a little exclamation of annoyance. "Do you think I dont know," she said; that I don't understand all that? I might have known that they would not take It seriously! And I thought I thought to put the matter so easily to them that I should be spared the necessity of buttonholing them! It was a novel way of buttonholing them, he laughed. "Oh!" she exclaimed, catching her breath, they wear the roses and langh at me!" Her eyes flashed through the mists of vexation that suggested tears. You are all alone then? Vernon said this In a low, solicitous tone, as if he were dealing with some deep grief. Ail alone." "And you represent no one that is. no society, no club? '1 am not a paid lobbyist, she said, "though I believe It la not beyond the I do properties of our profession. what I do only from a love of princiShe ple. I represent only my sex. said it Impressively, and then with quick little laugh that recognised the theatrical that had been In her attitude, she added: "And that, I suspect without authorisation." The ladles, generally, do not seem to be Interested, Vernon acquiesced. No, she shook her head sadly, no, on the contrary, I suppose most of them oppose the measure. "I have generally found them of that feejlng, Vernon observed. "The slaves, before the war, often petitioned congress not to set them free, you will remember.'-Mies Greene spoke with a bitterness. Then quickly she collected herself. But your objections. Senator Vernon?" she said. "Really, we must get down to business. She raised the little chatelaine watch that bung at her bosom and looked down at It.. And then suddenly, without waiting for his objections, as if she had quite forgotten them Indeed, she Impulsively stretched forth a hand and said: You will help mek wont you? Vernon looked into her eyes. His gase, after an instant, fell. He tried to run the stem of the rose through his buttonhole. The thorns caught In the cloth. "Youll have to do It," he said, helplessly. From some mysterious fold of her habit she took a pin, and then, lean lag over, she pinned the rose to his coat, pinned it with its long stem hanging, as a woman would pin a flower to a mans lapel. "Thank you. lie was looking Into her eyes again. "Rather let me tl.r.r.k yon. she said. "It's so good of you to vote for my measure. Ills eyes widened suddenly. He had She quite forgotten the resolution. must have perceived this, for she to-da- blushed, and he hastened to make amends. I'll not only vote for It, he rushed ahead Impulsively, "but Ill make a lie straightened and speech for it. leaned away from her lo give a proiier perspective in which she could admire him. He sat there siniliug. How splendid of you!" she cried. I feel encouraged now. Then Vernon's face lengthened. He stammered: "But you'll have to give me seme data; I I don't know a thing about the subject. Ob, she laughed. I brought some literature. It shall all be at your disposal. And now, I must be about my work. Can you make any suggestion? Can you tell me whom I should see, whom I should interest, who has the ah pull, 1 believe you call it?" Vernon 'I'll bring them to you, said. "You sit here and hold court. He rose and bis eyes swept the chamber. They lighted on Burns, and an idea suddenly came to him. He would revenge himself ou Burns for all the slights of the session. 'Of course you'll have to see Sam Porter, but I'll begin by bringing Senator Burns familiarly known as Hull Burns. "Ive read of him so often In the she sold. "It would be newspapers, an experience. Vernon went over to Burns' seat and touched him on the shoulder. Come on, be said in a tone of command, speaking for once from the altitude of his social superiority. And for once he was successful. The burly fellow from the First district stood up and looked inquiringly. Come with me," Vernon said; theres a Chicago lawyer back here who wants to see you. Burns followed and an Instant later Vernon baited before Miss Greene. The other men, who had quickly returned to her aide, made way, and Vernon said: Miss Greene, may I present Senator Burns, of the First district?" Miss Greene smiled on the big saloonkeeper, who instantly flamed with embarrassment. She gave him her hand, and he took It In his fat palm, carefully, lest he crush It I am delighted to meet Senator Burns; I've heard of you so often, she said, looking up at him. And do you know I count It a privilege to meet one of your acknowledged influence in our states affairs? Vernon stood back, delighted beyond measure with the confusion into which Bums for once bad been betrayed. The senator from tbe First district adopted. It would ba a great day for me if 1 could go back to Chicago feeling that I bad had Just a little bit to do with such a result." "Den I'm wit you," said Burns, and wheeling, he went back to his desk. Hiss Greene watched him a moment. and then turned to the men, their numbers augmented now by others who had roiue up to see Burns in the presence of such a woman. The glance she gave them was a question. Oh, he means it," said Monroe of Whiteside. 'liell vote for the resolution." "Yes, he's given bis word," said Urownwell of Cook. Vernon devoted half an hour to bringing senators to meet Marla Greene. It was not difficult work, (hough it bad its disadvantages; it did not allow Vernan to remain with her long at a time. But at last it was done, and he found a moment alone with her. She had given him some pamphlets on equal suffrage. "Ah, if you could only address the senate!" be exclaimed, in open admiration. And then, as if an inspiration had come to him, he added: Perhupa I could arrange It; It has been done. SLe gasped and atretched' out her ' hand to stay him. ahu Oh, not for all the world! protested.

The men in the little group on that side of the senate chamber burst out In a laugh, but Burns becoming suddenly grave, and dangerous and terrible, in his gravity, they, broke off in the very midst of their mirth. The group became silent Really, Senator Burns, said Miss Greene, this is no ah confidence game, I assure you. She rose with a graceful sweep of her skirts. Then she went on: If you will permit me, I should like to explain my mission to you. 1 am down here to ask the senate to adopt a resolution that will submit an amendment to the constitution permitting the women of Illinois to vote at all elections, as they vote at school elections now. If you can give it, I should like your support; I should, at least, like to tell you my reasons. Slowly she seated herself again, Will you sit down? saying: But Burns only stood and looked at her. There was a trace of fear In her face. Do you want die resolution put frough? he asked, bluntly. IT Indeed I do! she said. "Is dere anyt'lng in It for you? he went on.

While Miss Greene sat chatting with who gladly the lieutenant-governoneglected tbe duties of his high office, Vernon went out Into the rotunda, lighted a cigarette, glanced over the pamphlets, and tried to arrange the heads of his speech in his mind. At the thought of the speech, Vernon grew cold and limp with nevoue-nesHla hands were clammy, his knees trembled, his mouth became dry and parched, and the cigarette he had lighted Imparted all at once an evil taste. Yet he smoked on, and as be wandered around the rotunda, men from both houses, passing to and fro. greeted him, but they seemed to him to be strange new creatures flitting by in a dream. If he was conscious ot them at all It was only as of envied beings, all on a common happy plane, fortunate ones who did not have to make a speech within the hour. He went over to the state library, thinking that Its quiet would soothe, but when he stood among the tall stacks of books he suddenly remembered that he must not smoke in those precincts; and so he turned out into the rotunda again, for he must smoke. He walked round and round the rotunda, pausing at times to lean over the brass railing and look far down to the main floor where tbe red light glowed at the cigar stand; he sauntered back into the dim and undisturbed corridors, his mind racing over all the things he might say. r, s.

He is always accompanied by an expert manicurist. Instead of a white or colored valet The human nail, like the human hair, he said to me, is much affected by physical conditions. Barbers will tell you that in certain seasons the beard, for instance, grows nearly twice aa fast as at others. It Is so with the nails. At times, according to how we feel, tbe free edge may be a month In growing; there is some retarding agent At other times it may grow In a week. Sometimes tbe nail has transverse furrows. Indicating periods of illness. At other times it bears furrows running lengthwise a sure Indication of gout My manicurist can tell by these indications when your last sickness occurred, and I can tell what the malady was."
