"IhSfn R0Otc icgt3tfL At tnlS point the
 tors 'pds minc.' gentlemen of the county present when Sanders entered and who had no desire to witness fur ther the unpleasant episode rose to leave. i'll spite of the urgent request of Colonel Langdon that they remain The only one reluctant to go was Dea- con Amos Smallwocd. who. coming to the plantation to seek employment for bis son, had not been denied of his de- sire to join the assemblage of his neighbors.
 Last to move toward the door, he stopped in front of Sanders, stretched his five feet three inches of stature on tiptoe and shook a withered fist in the boss firmly set, determined face
 "Infamous" shrieked the deacon. You're monster! You're unright- eous! You should have belonged to the political machine of Cataline or Pon- tius Pilatew
 "Never heard tell O them," muttered Sanders, deeply puzzled. Guess they was never in Mississippi in my time."
 His accompanying gesture of per plexity caused the deacon to hasten his exit. Tripping over the leg of a chair, he fell headlong into the arms of the watchful Jackson, who received the deacon's blessing for uplifting the righteous in the hour of their fall"
 Relieved at the departure of the wit nesses, Sanders showed increased az gressiveness. ITO be sure, senator, you were careful not to personally promise me anything for my support at the election, as you say" the leader sneered, but you had Jim Stevens to make promises for you. which was smooth. absolute an artistic smooth"-

 With sudden start. as though to spring at Sanders throat. Langdon. with compressed lips and eyes blaz- Ing, grasped the edge of the table with grip that threatened to rend the polished boards. With intensest effort he slowly rcgained control of himself. His fury had actually weak ened him. His knees shook, and he sank weakly into a chair. When he finally spoke his voice was strained and laborious. Sanders, you and I. sir, must never meet again because I ] might not succeed again in keeping my hands off you. What would my old comrades of the Third Mississippi say If they saw me sitting here and you there with whole body. sir, after what you have said? They would not believe their eyes, thank God, sir. They would all go over to Stuart City ! and buy new eyeglasses. sir" A sus- picious moisture appeared on the colo | neFs cheeks which he could not dr. too quickly to escape Sanders observa- ton.
 But I had to let you stay, sir, be- cause you. the cole accuser, are the only one who can tell me what must know"
 "What do you want to knowr, asked who had realized his great mistake in losing his temper. in talk Ing as openly and as violently as he had and in dragging the name of Sen ator Stevens into the controversy. He must try to keep Stevens from hearing of this day's blunder, for Jim Stevens knew as wei as he. didn't he, that the man who loses his temper. like the
