1t was sunset of hot day at Wash

avenues which diverged from the capitol
like the rays of another sun were fierce
and glittering. The sterile distances be-
tween glowed more cruelty than ever,
and pedestrians, keeping in the scant

of crossings. The city seemed deserted.
Even that vast army of contractors,
spectators, Place-hunters and lobby
lists, which hung on the heels of the
other army, and had turned this pacific
camp of the nation into battlefield of
ignoble conflict and contention-more
disastrous than the one to the south
had skunk into their holes in hotel back
bedrooms. in shady barrooms, or in the
negro quarters of Georgetown, as if the
majestic, white-robed goddess, en-
thoned upon the dome of the capitol,
had at last descended among them, and
was shifting to right and left with the
flat and flash of her insufferable sword.
Into this sitting atmosphere of greed
and corruption Clarence Brant stepped
ment. For the last three weeks he had
haunted it's anterooms and audience
chambers, in the vain hope of righting
himself before his supcriors, who were
content, without formulating charges
against him, to keep him in this dis
grace of inaction and the anxiety of
suspense. Unable to ascertain the de-
tails of the accusation, and conscious
of his own secret, he was debarred the
last resort of demanding 4 court-mar-
tial, which he knew could only exoner-
ate him by the exposure of the guilt
OF his wife, whom he still hoped had
safely escaped. His division command
err, in active operations in the field, had
no time to help him at Washington.
Elbowed aside by greedy contractors.
forestalled by selfish politicians and dis
daining the ordinary method of infiu-
ence, he had no friend to turn to. In
his few years of campaigning he had
lost his instinct of diplomacy without
acquiring soldiers bluntness.
The nearly level rays of the sun forced
him at last to turn aside into one Of
the openings of large building-a ia
nous caravansary CT that hotel-haunted
capital-and he presently found himself
in the luxurious barroom, fragrant with
mint and cool with ice slabs, piled SYM
metrically on its marble counters. A
few groups of men were seeking cool
ness at the small tables, with glasses be-
fore them and palm-leaf fans in their
hands, but q larger and noisier assem-
blage was collected before the bar,
where man, collarless and in his shirt
sleeves, with his back to the counter,
was pretentiously addressing them.
Brant, who had modify dropped into 4
chair i'll the corner, after ordering a
cooling drink as an excuse for his tenn |
porary refuge from the sitting street.
half regretted his enforced participa-
ton in their conviviality. But a sudden !
lowering of the speakers voice into
note of gloomy significance, seemed ia
miliar to him. He glanced at him quick
ly, from the shadow of his corner. He |
was not mistaken-it was Jim Hooker.
