"Hev some'un take 'em oat a-autoln' "No, no, man:" snapped Pea body. "They'd stick in town to hear their father's wonderful speech." "Well." went mi the lobbyist, "111 hev Langd'n watched by a careful picked man, a nigger thet won't talk. He'll pick a row with the colonel on some street, say, w>n he's comtn' from his home after lunch. The coon kin bump Into Langd'n an' call him names. Then w'en ole fireworks s^fls into 'im, yellln' about what 'ed do In Mississippi, the coon pulls a gun on the colonel an' fires a couple o' shots random.

He'll look drunk, bell be so mad." "But the negro?bow could you get a man to undergo arrest on such a serious charge, attempted murder!" exclaimed Stevena. "There, there," said Steinert patron fcdagly; "coons has more genteel home life In jail than they does out. An* don't forget the District of Colombia is governed by folks that atnt reaidents of It, only durin' the session. Th* politicians don't leave their fr'en's in the cooler very long. Say. Senator Stevens, are you kiddin' me? Is it any different down in your"? The Mi8s!ssipplan choked and spluttered over a gulp of unusually hot coffee, and Pea body again decided Steinert to be on the wrong tack. "That proceeding would attract too much attention from the newspapers," ' ^ he added. "Well. I thought you wanted to win." grunted Steinert. "I've been offerln' you good stuff, too?new stdff. None of yer druggin' with chloroform or tlcklln' with blackjacks. Why, Pve gone from Sne-esse to common sense. But, come to ihink of it. how about Rome woman? I e'o got one to introduce to"? "This is the wrong kind of a man," Interrupted Pea body. "Unless you got the right kind of a woman." went on Steinert Senator Stevens choked some more. "The boas of the senate" sank down In his chair, crossed one knee over the other and drummed his fingers lightly on the table. He gated thoughtfully at Stevens. "Yea," be observed slowly, "unless you've got the right sort of a woman." Rising, he led the Misaisslpplan to one side. The lobbyist heard the southerner ??? - -i 1 ?:?K Hive o Duuti rAciauwuvu ui aaivuioument as Pea body whispered to him. "It's all right It's all right," he then beard the Pensylvanian say Irritably. "Shell understand. She can be trusted. She expects yoa." Stevens gave a violent start at the last assurance, bnt his colleague liurriedly helped hlui 9} * 1^1 into his coat.

XXV. CAUOI.INA LAM..I>ONS KfM.M IATIOX. ' SKXATOIi I.AXG PCX'S committee loom at the eupitol presented a busy seetie at an unusual ly early hour the morning after! the entertainment at his home. Hud ' Haines, reinstated as seerctary. was pi< t.iug tti> tlie thread of routine where, lie had dropped it the day belore. though his frequent thought of Hope and the words that hud thrilled him? "I love you. I love you fondly"?made , this task unusually dillieult. lie impatiently wished the afternoon to hasten along, as he knew he would then see her in the senate gallery, i where she would go to hear her father's speech. This speech had t<> Ik? revised lu, some particulars by Hud. and the work he knew would take up much of his morniug. The senator's speech was' "The South of the Future." which he would deliver when recognized by the , president of the senate in connection , with the naval base bill, that officer having agreed to recognize Laugdou at 3:30. at which time the report of the naval affairs committee would be received. Just how Langdon would turn the tables on Peabody and Stevens and yet win for the Altacoola site not even the ex-newspaper man, experienced In politics, had solved. Clearly the sena-1 tor would have to do some tall think-1 lng during the morning. The junior senator from Mississippi j burst Into the office with his habitual cheery greeting, his broad brimmed black felt hat In its usual position on the back of bis head, like a symbol of undying defiance. "A busy day for us, eb, senator?" queried Bud. "Now, look here, my boy, don't begin to remind me of work right off," "f'li feat* to Incubate an idea." be said, with a humorous gleam In his eye. "Go easy on me. Don't forget I'm her father." r>_ i ?ti?nii?h ?Kn AnoK ?kul x>uii iau^uru iut uu^u uic uunu % w v rose in his cheeks. "No, I wont forget that. But have you decided what to tell Peabody and Stevens as your plan of action If tbey ! come In here at 1250?" "If they come?" exclaimed Langdon. "They'll come. Watch 'em." Then he hesitated worriedly. "Ill have to Incubate an Idea be- , tween now and noon somehow. But! don't forget this. Bud?we're worried j about them, true enough, but they're worried a heap more about us." Senator Langdon stepped Into an adjoining room, where be could be alone, to "Incubate." As Haines resumed his work Carolina Langdon entered Avoiding the secretary's direct gaxe, i she asked for her father. "He ought to be back shortly, Miss Langdon," responded Haines. "You can wait here. I must ask p-_1on for leav- j Ing. asl must run over he library." ' As the secretary bowed himself out of the door he almost collided with Congressman Norton. Both glared at each other and remained silent. "Carolina," spoke Norton as he entered, "I hope?I know you won't allow your father to Influence you against me?because of lost night. I"? Carolina would rather not have met Charles Nortou on this morning. She had hardly slept for the night. She had fought a battle with herself. Her father had shown her plainly the mis - ch. ik.i k^. case Boe oaa maae. sue saw uiai uci Influence bad not been without effect on Randolph. Probably for the first time she reallred that there are glory and luxury, pleasure and prestige for which too big a price can be paid. The senator's daughter turned slowly and faced the man she had promised to marry. "Charlie, I have come t? a decision. I came here to talk with father about It" Norton started toward Carolina, a look of apprehension on his face. He gathered from the trend of her words and her demeanor that she had ttirned against him. "You couldn't be so cruel, Carolina," he protested. "Charlie," she went on determinedly, "I will always cherish our friendship, our happy younger days down in Mississippi, but I must gtve up thinking of you :iv my future husband. We've lnith ! made a mistake, mine probably greater , than yours. but I now am convinced j that 1 should '! { marry you. Vour I way of t *:?; oia about lib' is uj| wrong, and yon are b>< deeply entangled with the t'.is'e !ic<; rcn in Washington to j .s draw baek. I cannot love you."

( "Charlie, I must give you up." The girl turned to one aide, as 1 though to give Norton a chance to 1 leave. j He looked at her in silence a moment or two. Then a change came t into bis bearing. Wrinkling his face 1 into a sneer, he stepped before the giri. ^ "You've been con vert edHnigbty sudden, I reckon, from land speculation ] to preaching ? aud preaching, too, against folks who tried to make a for- 1 tune for you." Norton stopped, expecting a reply. but the girl remained silent ? "You think I'm done for, that I've lost my money, that's why yon turned from me so quickly,' be laughed scornfully. "But I'll show yon, you and your blundering old father. I'll win yon yet, and I'll ruin your father's political reputation, ril"? "Are you quite sure about that?" spoke a voice sharply behind the congressman. He swung around vigorously. Bud Haines had returned in time to hear Norton's threat "Yes, and while I'm doing that I'll take time to show you up, too, somehow. 1 guess a congressman's word will count against that of a cheap secretary? thafs what Miss Langdon said you were." Carolina Rooked appeallngly to Haines to rfil her of the presence of this man, whose last words she knew Haines would not believe. But Norton had had bis say. He retreated to the door. "Miss Langdon," he cried as he backed out and away, "you have an Idea that I am dishonest, but kindly remember that, whatever you think I am, I never was a hypocrite." Haines advanced and procured a chair for Miss Langdon. "I'm terribly sorry to have come back at such a time," he began. The girl cot him short with a gesture. " * *" ?' t* ?

I want to work together with you and father?and bo does Randolph. Father and you are standing together to upbold the honor of the Langdons of Mississippi, and Randolph and I, no < matter the cost of our former folly, 1 want to share in that work." Before Haines could reply Senator ] Langdou hurst Into the room. "Bud. Bud." he cried, "I've got til I*re got It!" "You've got what, senator?' exclaimed the secretary. "That idea, my boy, that Idea! It's < lnc-nbated all right and I'eabody and | Stevens can come Just as soon as they < want to." (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK 1 | Warning.
