little bird that lives on honey.
The saccllarine dainty is there

under the bark, where what is known
as the carpenter bee borcs and depos-
it's his extract from the buds and
blossoms of the tropical forest.
The bird is called the '~'honeybird"
because it is a sure guide to the de-
posits of the delicacy. The bird dis
likes the laborious task of Decking it's
way through the bark to reach the
honey, and so. wise in the ways of
men, it procures help. 1t locates a
nest of honey, then flies about until it
sees some natives or hunters, to whom
it shows itself. They know the honey
bird and know that it will lead them
to the treasure store. Following the
bird, which fits just in advance, they
reach the cache of dripping sweetness
and readily lay it open with hatchets
or knives. Taking what they want

Equally as mercenary as 1.-The boss of

nerve, determination, resourcefulness
and daring. He needed many hours
Of sleep. Peabody could work twenty
hours at a stretch. He had to have
his meals regularly or else suffer from
indigestion. Peabody sometimes did
a days work on two boiled eggs and
a cup of coffee.
The senior senator from Mississippi
had been the first to point out to Pea
body the possibilities for profit in the
gulf naval base project, but the morn
ing following the conference with
Steinert when he rejoined them for
breakfast at the Louis Napoleon he
was far from comfortable. He did
not mind fighting brain against brain,
even though u%nprincipled methods
were resorted to-, but indications were
that more violent agencies would be
called into play owing to the compiled
lions that had arisen.
Stevens ate heartily to strengthen
his courage. Steinert ate hugely to
strengthen his body. Peabody ate
scarcely anything at ALTO strengthen
his brain.
Waving away the hotel waiter who
had brought the breakfast to his
apartment, Senator Peabody outlined
the probable campaign of the day.
"If our best efforts to weaken and
scare of Langdon fail today" he said,

render it impossible in some way for
him to appear in the senate at all, or
we must delay his arrival until after

A ring of a bell announced the arriv-
III Of Jake Steinert. whose reputation
as a lobbyist of advanced ability had
spread wide in the twenty years he
had spent in Washington. OF medium
height, sallow complexion, dark hair
and dark eyes. his broad shoulders fill
ed the doorway as he entered. An lily
kept mustache almost hid a thin lip
ped, forceful mouth. almost as forceful
MS some of the language he used. His
eyes darted first to Peabody and then
to Stevens, waiting for either of them
o open the conversation.
The highest class lobbyists, those
who "swing'' the biggest DEALS" con
Germ themselves only with men who
ean ''handle" or who control lawmak-
ers. They get regular reports and out
line the campaign. Like crafty spiders
they hide in the center of q great web,
q web of bribery, threat, cajolery and
intrigue, intent on every victim that is
lured into the %glistening meshes.
Only the small fry mingie freely with
the legislators in the open, in the ho-
tells and cafes and in the capitol cofri-
doris.
Jake Steinert did not belong in either
of these classes; he ranked somewhere
between the biggest and the smallest.
He coupled colossal boldness with the
most expert knowledge Of all the fntri-
cate workings Of the congressional
mechanism. Given money to spend
among members to secure the defeat OF
a bill, he would frequently put most OF
the money in his own pocket and fol
a comparatively small sum defeat il
by influencing the employees through
whose hands it must pass.
