SYNOPSIS.
Senator Morley Vf.fnon's visit with liin
fiancee was interrupted by a call from
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 u. national office for him.
CHAPTER II.
When Vernon went Into the senate
that Tuesday morning and saw the
red rose lying on his desk he smiled,
and picking it up, raised it eagerly to
his face. lint when he glanced about
the chamber and saw that a rose lay
on every other desk, his smilo was
suddenly lost in a stare of amazement.
Once or twice, perhaps, flowers had
been placed by constituents on the
desks of certain senators, but never
had a floral distribution, at once so
modest and impartial, been made be-
fore. Several senatoriS, already In
their seats, saw the check this impar-
tiality gave Vernon's vanity, and they
laughed. Their laughter was of a tone
with the tinkle of the crystal prisms of
the chandeliers, chiming in the breeze
that came through the open windows.
The lieutenant governor was just
ascending to his place. He dropped
his gavel to the sounding-board of his
desk.
"The senate will be in order," he
sJid.
The chaplain rose, and the hum of
voices in the chamber ceased. Then,
Willie the senators stood with bowed
liei.ds, Vernon saw the card that lay
or. the desk beside tile rose. Two little
jewels of the moisture that still spar-
kled on the rose's petals shone on the
glazed surface of the card. Vernon
i cad it where It lay.
"Will the Hon. Morley Vernon
please to wear this rose to-day as a
token of his intention to support and
vote for house joint resolution No. 1?
proposing an amendment to section
0!k>, article seven of the constitution?"
The noise in the chamber began
again at the chaplain's "Amen."
"New way to buttonhole a man,
eh?" said Vernon to liull llurns, who
had the seat next Vernon's. "What's
it all about, anyway?"
Vernon took up his printed synopsis
of bills and resolutions.
"Oh, yes," he said, speaking as much
to himself as to Burns; "old man
Ames's resolution." Then he turned
to the calendar. There it was—house
joint resolution No. 19. Ho glanced
at lJurns again. Iiurns was fastening
his rose in his buttonhole.
"So you're ft r it, eh?" he said.
"To hell with it," Burns growled in
the gruff voice that spoke for the First
district. In trying to look down at
his own adornment he screwed his fat
neck, fold on fold, into his low collar
and then, with a grunt of satisfaction,
lighted a morning cigar.
"But—" Vernon began, surprises
multiplying. He looked about the
chamber. The secretary was reading
the journal of the preceding day and
the senators were variously occupied,
reading newspapers, writing letters, or
merely smoking; some were gathered
In little groups, talking and laughing.
But they all wore their roses. Vernon
might have concluded that house joint
resolution No. 19 was safe, had it not
been for the inconsistency of Burns,
though inconsistency was nothing new
in Burns. Vernon ventured once more
with his neighbor:
"Looks as if the resolution were as
good as adopted, doesn't it?"
But Burns cast a glance of pity at
him, and then growled in half-humor-
ous contempt. The action stung Ver-
non. Burns seemed to resent his pres-
ence in the senate as he always re-
sented the presence of Vernon's kind
in politics.
Tho rose still lay on Vernon's desk;
he was the only one of the 51 senators
of Illinois that hail not put his rose
on. He opened his bill tile and turned
up house joint resolution N'o. 19. He
read it. carefully, as he felt a senator
should before making up his mind on
such an Important, even revolutionary
measure. He remembered that at
the time it had been adopted in
the house every one had laughed; no
one, with the exception of lis author,
Dr. Ames, had taken it seriously.
Ames was known to be a crank; lie
was referred to as "Doc" Ames, usual-
ly as "Old Doc" Ames. He had intro-
duced more strange bills and resolu-
tions than any member at that ses-
sion; bills to curb the homeopathists,
bills to annihilate Knglish sparrows,
| bills to prohibit cigarettes, bill to cur-
j tail the liquor traffle, and now this
resolution providing for the submis-
sion of an amendment to the consti-
tution that would extend tha electoral
franchise to women.
His other measures had received lit-
tle consideration; l.e never gat any ol
them out of committee. But on the
female suffrage resq.lijj.ipn he hid
hfen' bbdurate, and when—with a ma-
jority so bare that sick men had to
be borne on cots into the house now
and then to pass its measures—the
party had succeeded, after weeks of
agony, in framing an apportionment
bill that satisfied every one, Dr. Ames
had seen his chance. He had flatly
refused to vote for tho reapportion-
ment act unless his woman-suffrage
resolution were first adopted.
It was useless for the party mana-
gers to urge upon him the impossibil- '
ity of providing the necessary two-j
thirds' vote; Ames said lie could get j
the remaining votes from the other |
side. And so the steering committee j
had given the word to put it through i
for him. Then the other side, seeing
a chance to place the majority in an '
embarrassing attitude before the peo-1
pie, either as the proponents or the
opponents of such a radical measure—
whichever way it went in the end—
had been glad enough to furnish the
additional votes. The members of the
steering committee had afterward
whispered it about that the resolution
was to die in the senate. Then every
one, especially the women of Illinois,
had promptly forgotten the measure.
As Vernon thought over it all ho
picked up the rose again, then laid it
down, and idly picked up the card.
Turning it over in his hand he saw
that its other side was engraved, and
he read:

the 'VerfM ""teeth, tlio fine cjlin—all
were lost in tho eyes that looked
frankly at him. As he gazed he waj
conscious that ho feared to hear hei
speak; surely her voice would betray
her masculine quality.
She had seated herself again, and
now made a movement that suggested
a drawing aside of her skirts to make
a placi for some one at her side. And
then she spoke.
"Will you sit down, Senator Ver-
non?" she said, with a scrupuloas re-
gard for title unusual In a woman. "I
must make a convert of Senator Ver-
non, you know," she smiled on tho
other men about her. Her accent im-
plied that this conversion was of the
utmost importance. The other men, of
whom she seemed to be quite sure,
evidently felt themselves under tho
compulsion of withdrawing, and so
fell back in reluctant retreat.
CHAPTER III.
The surprise had leaped to Vernon's
eyes again at the final impression of
perfection made by her voice, and tho j
surprise changed to a regret of lost j
and Irreclaimable opportunity when
In* reflected that he had lived for years
near this woman lawyer and yet never
had seen her once In all that time.
When Miss Greene turned to look him
in the face again, after tho others
were gone, Vernon grew suddenly
bashful, like a big boy. He felt his
face flame hotly. He had been medi-
tating some drawing-room speech; he
had already turned in his mind a pret-
ty sentence in which there was a dis-1 Mr. Saphead—By Jove, it's nearly

THE HINT
GENTEEL.
Then he knew; it was the work of
the woman lawyer. Vernon had heard
of her often; he had never seen her.
He gave a little sniff of disgust.
The senate was droning along on
the order of reports from standing
committees, and Vernon, growing tired
of the monotony, rose and sauntered
back to the lobby in search of com-
pany more congenial than that of the
gruff Burns. Ho carried the rose as
he went, raising it now and then to
enjoy its cool petals and Its fragrance.
On one of the leather divans that
stretch themselves invitingly under
the tall windows on each side of the
senate chamber sat a woman, and
about her was a little group of men,
But when he saw her blue eyes fixed
on him and read the utter seriousness
In them he knew that compliments
would all be lost.
"I am one of your constituents, Sen-
ator Vernon," she began, "and I am
down, frankly, lobbying for this reso-
lution."
"And wo both," he roplled, "are, I
believe, members of tho Cook county
bar. Strange, Isn't it, that two Chi-
cago lawyers should have to wait un-
til they are in Springfield to meet?"
"Not altogether," she said. "It Is
not so very strange—my practice is
almost wholly confined to office work;
1 am more of a counselor than a bar-
rister. I have not often appeared in
court; In fact I prefer not to do so; 1
am—well, just, a little timid in thai
part of the work."
The femininity of It touched hlra.
He might have told her that he did
not often appear in court himself, bul
he was new enough at the bar to have
to practice the dissimulation of th«
young professional man. He Indulged
himself in the temptation to allow hex
io go undeceived, though with a pang
he remembered that her practice, from
all that he had heard, must be much
more lucrative than his. Something ol
the pretty embarrassment she felt bo.

the senate, but she put It away; hei j

Suddenly the orchestra stopped, I

The man at the next table, who was j

her beauty and distinction might have
made her independent of conventions.
Physically she was too nearly per-

aristocracy; but it was her expression
that charmed; it was plain that her
intellectuality was of the higher de-

As Vernon possessed himself he
was able to note that this surprising

From her spring hat down to the toes
of her boots there was nothing in her
attire that was mannish, but she was
