A Girl In Politics. By LESTER GREY. Copyrighted, 1908, by the Associated Literary Press. If the Hon. Tom Paxton had been making out a schedule of his personal property a portion of it would have read as follows: "Sole owner and proprietor of the Steenth congressional district. "Sole owner of one spinster sister. "Sole owner of one charming daugh- ter." The honorable Tom\hecured posses- sion of the Steenth district during a brain storm of reform, and he imme- diately started in to make it a life job. At the rate of this record be was serv- ing the last weeks of his fourth term and laying his wires for a fifth. He was keeping an eye on the interests of the country and neglecting few oppor- tunities to advance "the cause," when he received a letter that started him off for home. He arrived there to face his sister and daughter and demand to know what it was all about. Fate may have nothing to do with a kettle of hot soft soap boiling over and blistering the feet of a farmer's wife, but everybody knows that it has all to do with love. If Arthur Clayton hadn't graduated in law and been in Lexing- ton one day to see what the chances were of hanging out his shingle, and if Jennie Paxton hadn't been acting as chauffeur of her own auto, the young man and the auto would not have col- lided on the street He was taken to a hotel to get the better of the shock and the cuts and bruises, and the conscience stricken girl sent him flowers and messages of regret. Had she bad the business in- stincts of her father she would have sent him a five dollar bill instead and told him to sue for the balance. The tpinster aunt saw romance, admiration and love mixed up with the accident, and after the victim was able to limp out and had made a call she wrote to her brother that the danger signal was out. This letter brought him home as he was in the midst of a nice little deal, -the particulars of which would never find their way in the Congres- sional Record. The honorable Thomas came home to smash things. He was no orator. He had never yet even moved that the house do now adjourn. He did fairly well, though, on this his maiden ef- fort. He said he would be hanged and be durned and be blowed if he would have it so. He would burst the as- pirations of that gander shanked law- yer in a day. He would lock his daughter down cellar or upstairs, and if she dug her way out with an old case knife and married Clayton she and her thirteen wailing children might freeze and thaw and starve for all of him. Then he wound up his ora- tory with: "Drop it! Drop it right now! There's nothing in love, but there's a beap in politics. I've brought home a gripful of my private papers, and I want you to overhaul and classify them. A pol- itician's daughter should know some- thing about politics." Jennie was silenced, and therefore the father took it that she was con- vinced and cowed. The honorable Tom was deceived. He knew men, but he didn't know girls. If he had, he would have realized that they are the most dangerous when they cease to argue and protest. Not that his daughter could have told him, had she been ever so frank, that she was really in love with the briefless young lawyer who had been knocked into the gutter by her auto, but she might have hinted that fate bad a great deal to do with such things and that she should abide by fate. Having smashed things to his own satisfaction, the sole owner of the Steenth congressional district went back to the capital and his deals, while bis- daughter sat down in the library to overhaul the papers, and things ran on peacefully. Not that there were no more meetings, but the spinster aunt did not know of them; not that romance and fate fell down, but Jennie did not do any talking In her sleep and played the artful dodger when leading questions were asked. The honorable Tom had packed up the papers in a hurry and had put in what- ever came to hand first, and some of them made very interesting reading. The day after the last one had been read and classified under the head of Danger! Look out for the l000mo- tive!" the young lady and the young man went for a ride in the vehicle that had played fate with him. At a proper moment be asked a question that greatly concerned the future of both, and at another proper moment she blushed and said '.'yes" Then she proceeded to tell him that her father would see her in her grave be- fore consenting to the match, and she held up such a vision of paternal wrath and obduracy that he dropped back from the seventh heaven to the first Then he was taken into partner- ship as a conspirator and lifted back again, and there was mach rejoicing during the remainder of the ride. A few days later the honorable Tom arrived home to tinker up his political fences and lay his ear to the ground. He had about concluded to bestow the hand of bis daughter on a member of the house who was serving his first term and stealing government lands in the west at the rate of 5,000 acres a week. He was no monopolist and was willing to help the honorable Tom to go and do likewise. "Oh, daddy, but you'll be surprised neap' annou a cne deetonure ddaughter after receiving the fatherly kiss. "I haven't been studying three months yet, and still I know almost as much as you do about them." The father granted his approbation and geld he would see her in the libra- ry that evening.
