CHAPTER XIX.

SENATOR LANGDoN LEARNS THE TRUTH.

Ma faced the senator and spoke
wv determinedly.
"They told you l was not
running straight" he said.
The senator nodded, and the lines
about his mouth deepened.
ayes"
Bud Haines stiffened at the word.
Every muscle In his body seemed to
become rigid as he mentally vowed
that he would retaliate against his ira
ducers If it cost him his life to do It.
Hope had informed him only too ac-
curately, he now realized. Little did
the senator know that what he was
now about to hear would give him one
Of the severest shocks of his life.
'"They told me you weren't running
straight" said Haines deliberately.
snow, neither one of us has been
crooked, but somebody else has been,
and this was the plan to keep us
apart"
Morton told me you were speculat-
ing In Altacoola lands" SAID Langd0n.
"And Norton told me the same Of
you" retorted Bud.
The senator's face grew very serious.
"But my daughter, Miss Carolina
Langdon, confirmed Norton's story"
Haines here faced the most difficult
part Of his interview. He hardly knew
how to answer. HIS manhood rebelled
against placing any blame on wo-
man. He revolted at the thought of
running a fathers faith in his daugh-
ter's honesty. especially when that
father was the man he most admired,
man for whom he had genuine, deep
rooted affection. But II was necessary
that the words be spoken.
II hate to tell you, sir" he said in a
low. uncertain voice, that it was your
daughter Carolina who made me be-
neve this story told about you and
vouched for by your son Randolph"
Langdon started back aghast. He
stared at Waines and knew that he

ognize you, Miss Hope" he said final
ly.
Perhaps you never looked at me be-
fore" she suggested archly, feeling in
stinctively that this was her hour; that
the man she loved was at this moment
thinking more about her than of any
thing else in the world.
Haines made a gesture Of regret.
THAT must be it," he agreed Then
he leaned forward eagerly. But I'm
looking at you now, and like looking
at you. / like what you've done for
me-"
| ooh, that was nothing, Mr.. Haines,"
she exclaimed airily, her intuition tell
ing her of her sway over the man.
Nothing" he exclaimed. "Well, it's
more than any one ever did for me be-
fore. I've known lots Of girls
II don't .oubt that, Mr.. Haines,"
Hope interjected, with light laugh.
Eyes, l say I've known lots of girls.
but there's never been one who showed
herself such a true friend as you have
been. There's never been any one who
believed in me this way when / was
practically down and out"
Perhaps you've never been down
and out before, Mr. Haines, so they
never had a chance to show whether
they believed In you or not"
"That may be one reason" he an
swered. 81 wonder why"-he paused

turned away her head.

Haines had stood up and was now
leaning intently over the table. He
realized the difference between the
feeling he had had for Carolina and
the tender emotion that thrilled him as
lie thought of the sweet girl before
him. This time be knew he was not
mistaken. He knew that he truly
