s vote and shutting out their own
mothers and wives, the tide turned and they cheered for the women. The
next meeting was at Lawrence, and here Mr. Train objected decidedly to
the route marked out, saying it was too rough a trip for any man, and
as Mr. Reynolds had deserted him he was for giving up the tour. Not so
Miss Anthony; she said: "Your offer and his were accepted in good
faith. The engagements have been made and hand-bills sent to every
post-office within fifty miles of the towns where meetings are to be
held. The next announcement is for Olathe tomorrow night. I shall take
Mr. Reynolds' place. At one o'clock I shall send a carriage to your
hotel. You can do as you please about going. If you decline I shall go

took them to Ottawa in a lumber wagon. The steady rain had put the
roads in a fearful condition and by the time they reached the river
bottoms it was very dark and pouring in torrents. The driver lost his
way and brought them up against a brush fence. Mr. Train jumped out of
the vehicle, took off his coat so that his white shirtsleeves would
show and thus guided the team back to the road; then he and the county
superintendent took turns walking in front of the horses. The river
finally was crossed and they reached Ottawa at 9 o'clock. Mr. Train was
very fastidious and, no matter how late the hour, never would appear in
public before he had changed his gray travelling suit for full dress
costume with white vest and lavender kid gloves, declaring that he
would not insult any audience by shabby clothes. This evening he
