CHAPTER v.

THE BOSS OF THE SENATE INsPEcTs A
NEW MEMBER.
A N actor playing the role of a high
~ type of southern planter would
~ score a decided success by pic
turing the character exactly
after the fashion of Senator William
FL. Langdon as he strobe to the desk of
the International hotel. A wide brim-
med black hat thrust back on his head,
long black perfecto in his mouth,
coattails spreading out behind as he
walked, and the big Bill" Langdon
smile on his face that carried sunshine
and good will wherever he went be
was good to look on, an inspiration,
particularly in Washington.
Following the senator were Miss
Langdon and Hope Georgia, leading a
retinue of hotel attendants staggering
under large assortment Of luggage.
Both beautiful girls, they caused a
sensation all of their own. Carolina,
a different type from the younger, had
an austere loneliness denoting pride
and birth. brunette of the quality
that has contributed so much to the
fame of southern women. Hope Geor-
gia, more girlish and vivacious blond,
was the especial pet of her father and
usually succeeded In doing with him
what she chose.
A real senator and two such young
women handsomely gowned seemed to
take the old hotel back a score of
years-back to the times when such
sights were of daily occurrence. The
ancient greatness of the now dingy
International lived again.
How are you. senator7 Glad to
welcome you. SIR" was the clerks
greeting.
The genial senator held out his hand.
Everybody was his friend
"Glad to meet you, sir; glad to meet
you" he exclaimed Must make you
acquainted with my daughters. This
is Miss Carolina Langdon, this Miss
Hope Georgia Langdon.''
The two girls, with their fathers
idea Of courtesy, shook hands with the
clerk, who was not at all taken aback
by the unexpected honor.
Hope Georgia was thoroughly de-

Hope Georgia ecstatically, clasping her
hands and gazing at vista of arti-

new senator contentedly as he gazed

In mock protest the senior senator
from Mississippi raised his hands.
Nov, now. Langdon, don't say that.
Your worth, your integrity. your char
acter and our old friendship got you

The old planter laughed gleefully.

ing senators with varied emo
tions. He sat down to think
AA over what they had said and to
carefully consider what manner of man
was Peabody, who showed such an in
terest in him. He realized that lie
would have considerable intercourse
with Peabody in the processes of legis-
lation and finally had to admit to him
self that he did not like the senator
from Pennsylvania. Just what it was
Langdon could not at this time make
certain, but he was mystifed by traces
of contradictions in the senator's char
acter-slight traces, true, but traces
nevertheless Peabody's cordiality and
sympathy were to Langdon's mind
partly genuine and partly false. Just
what was the cause of or the necessity
for the alloy in the true metal he could
not fathom.
His talk with these famous lawmak-
ers was unsatisfactory also in that it
had conveyed to Langdon the sugges-
ton that the senate was not primarily
a great forum for the general and ac-
tive consideration of weighty meas
ures and of national policies. 1t had
been his idea that the senate was pri-
marily such a forum, but the attitude
of I'~sNody and Stevens had limited to
