And yet his mind seemed to be extraordinarily clear Just then ; It seemed to he able to comprehend all realms of thought at once. Dut it was not so much the speech he thought of, as the effect of the speech; already he could see the newspapers 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 Impulsively resting her arms on the fable before her, she would eagerly read the long columns through, while her mother reminded her that her breakfast was getting cold. IIow She proud she would be of him! would never chide him again; she would Bee that at last be had found himself. The Eltons, too, would read, and his absence from their dinner would react on them impressively. And Maria Greene but a confusion arose Maria Greene! He had not thought of Amelia all the mornijg until that very Instant; Amelia's ieter lay still unopened on hia deck lack there In tlie 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 it was this handsome young womans presence in the chamber that gave rise to all this nervousness. He was sure that he would not have been nervous if Amelia were to be there. She had never heard him speak in public, though he had often pressed her to do so; bomehow the places where be spoke were never those to which it would be proper for her to go. She would wish she bad heard this speech, for in 24 hours it would he the one topic of conversation throughout the Rtate; his picture would be in the newspapers The brilliant young Chicago lawyer who electrified the Illinois senate with his passionate oratory and passed the womnn-s'ifrrai'.- c It would he an event to meaBure. mark the beginning cf a new era Hut his imaginings were broken, his name was spoken; he turned and saw Miss Greene.

And then Vernon began. He sjioke slowly and with vast delilierction; bis voice was vtry low. lie otliined his subject wiili exquisite pains, detail by detail, making it clear just wliui propositions lie would advance. Hi manner was that of the lat.yer in an appellate court, mttking a masterly and purely legal argument; when it was done, the senate, if it had paid attention Hough It seldom did pay attention would know all about the question of woman suffrage. In his deliberation, Vernon glanced now and then at Maria Greene. Her eyes were sparkling with Jntcll'gcnt interest. As if to clioost1 tlie lowest point possible from which to trace thc rlse and progress of legislation favorable lo women, Vernon would cnll the attention of the senate first to the decision of the Illinois supreme court In re Brad well, 63 111., 623. That was away back In 1 MiU, when the age was virtually dark; and that was the case, gentlemen would remember, just as if they all kept each decision of the court at their tongues' ends, in which the court held that uu woman could bo 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 Its own motion entered u nunc pro tunc order, reversing its own decision in the Hradwell case. Vernon dilated . eth us upward and on. lie recounted the services of women in time of war, their deeds in the days of peuce, and in the end he became involved In an allegory about the exclusion of the roses from the garden. The senators had begun to pay attention to him as soon as he talked about things they really understood and wciv Interested in, and now the H mind to him to go on. It was spread l over tlie third floor of the stuii'hoiisc ti nt some one was makinj a hi,; x:eirh in the senate, and rep resent a lives came oer tie house. Tlie correspondents of the Chicago newspapers came over also to see if tlto Associated Press man in the senate was getting the spec--down fully. All the spate on the flooi was sotm now ded, and the applause shook lie desks and made the glass prisms on the chandeliers jingle. The lit uunant governor tapped from time to time with his gavel, hut he did it perfunctorily, us though he enjoyed Hie applause himself, as vicariously expressing his own feelings; Ills eyes twinkled until it seemed that, were it not for certain traditions, he would join in the deii.Lined laughter that made up most of the applause.

Tlifc were sharp cries of Go on! Go on: to Hut Vernon, not accustomed thinking mi his feet, as talkers love to phrase it, and having stopped, could not instantly go on, and that awkward halt disconcerted him. He was conscious that the moments were slipping hy, and there were other tilings many other things that he had intended tossy; but these things evaded him floated off, tautalizlngly, out of reach. And so. for refuge, he rushed on to the conclusion he had half formed in his mind. The conclusion was made up mostly from a toast lo which he had once responded while in The The Ladies. college, entitled words catne back to him readily enough; lie had only to apply them a little differently and to change his figures.

Then, emancipation briefly, he proposed to outline for them the legislative steps by which womans right to eqtinllly with man had been at least partly recognised. He fumbled for a 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 senates attention to the employment act of 1ST2, tlie drainage act of 1&83, anti the sanitary district act of 1S90. Vernon spoke quite far miliarly of these acts. Furthermore, gentlemen would, he was sure, instantly recall the decisions of the courts in which those acts were under review, as, for instance, in Wilson vs. Hoard of Trustees, 133 111. 443; and In Davenport vs. Drainage Commissioners, 25 111. App. 92. 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 Vernons citations, although, of course, they never had heard of the cases before, of woman's natThis ural right," Vernon shouted, this recognition of her equality with man, can not be overestimated in importance! He shook his head fiercely and struck his desk with his flsL Hut then, having used up all the facts he had marked in Miss Greene's pamphlets, he was more general in Ills forced to remarks, and so he began to celebrate woman, ecstatically. He conjured for i he senators tlie presence of their mothers and sisters, their sweethearts and wives; and then, some quotations fortunately occurring to him, he reminded them that Castiglione had truly said that God is seen only through women; that the woman's soul lead- - Some more of such a frame.
