newspaper men, he had the secret feel
politician.
''Sure, it's a great game, as a game,''
agreed Haines. $50 is bridge, and stud
poker, and three card monte, and film
fam generally. Take this new man
Langdon, for instance. Chosen by Ste
vens he'll probably be perfectly obedi-
ent, perfectly easy going, perfectly
blind and-perfectly useless. What's
wanted now is to get the work done,
not play the game"
Thoroughly cynic through his
years of experience as a newspaper
man, which had shown the inside
workings of many important phases
of the seemingly conventional life Of
this complex world, Cullen pretended
unbounded enthusiasm.
'Hear! Hearp' he shouted. "A1l you
earnest citizens come vote for Re-
former Haines. I'm for you, Bud
What do I get in your cabinet? I've
Joined the reformers, too, and, like all
of them, me for PURITY as long
as she gives me meal ticket"
But not even Cullen could make
Haines consider his views on the
necessity of political regeneration to
be ridiculous. His optimism could not
be snuffed out, for he was a genuine
believer that the natural tendency of
humankind was to do right. Wrong
he believed to be the outcome of un-
natural causes. This quality, COM
bined with his practical knowledge of
the world and his courage, made him a
formidable man, one who would one
day accomplish big things-if he got
the chance.
"You know you can't shut me up,
Dick" was his response to Cullen's
oratorical fight. "I'm going to have
my say. / don't see why senator
shouldn't be honest. All want them
to do is to play new game. Let 'em
at least seem to be honest, attend to
their business, forget politics. The
country sends them here to work, and
If they do the work the people really
don't care a hang what party they be-
long to-"
"Come out Of it, Bud. Your brain is
wabbly," yawned Cullen YEARLY. "I'll
buy drink If you'll quiet down. Let's
be comfortable till this fellow Lang
don appears" He caught his friend
by the arm and In spite Of protest
dragged him off to the cafe just as

Haines had also secured his free hand
but instead of completing the throw
the reporter walked away with his foe
held securely on his back-to put him
to bed, a kindly service, in view of
Randolph's mental state.
From across the lobby Charles Nor
ton had watched Randolph's discomft-

ment.'

have actual knowledge of actual hap

as you have? | want to know If
must feel shame, feel disgrace, sir, to
be senator from Mississippi, that
state, sir, that the Almighty himself,
sir, would choose to live in if he came
to EARTH"
"There, there, senator, don't take too
seriously what l have said," Sanders
replied in reassuring tone, having out
lined his course of action. Il lost my
head because you wouldn't promise me
something l needed-that appointment
for Hagley. What said about sena-
tors an such was all wild words
nothin' in 'em. Why, how could there
be, senator?'' This query was happy
afterthought which Sanders craftily
suggested in designedly artless man
ner.
"Just what l thought and known ex-
claimed Langdon sharply. 1T couldn't
be; it isn't possible. Now you go, sir,
and let it be your greatest disgrace
that you are not fit to enter any gen.
tleman's house,"
"Oh, don't rub it in too hard, senator.
You may need my help some day, but
you'll have to deliver the goods before

81 said, Cor"
I'm goin', but here's a tip. Don't
blame me for fightin' you. I've got to
fight to live. I'm a human bein', an
humans are pretty much the same all
over the world, all except you-you're
only half natural The rest of you is
reformer."
After Sanders departure the colonel
sat at his table, his head resting in his
hand, the events of the day crowding
his brain bewilderingly.
''The battles of peace are worse than
any Beauregard ever led me into,' he
murmured. "Fighting to conquer one
self is harder than turning the left
flank of the Eighth Illinois In an en-
filading fire."
But the new senator from Mississippi
did not know that for him the wars of
peace had only just begun, that per-
haps his own flesh and blood and that
of the wife and mother who had gone
before would turn traitor to his colors

CHAPTER ~.

JUST THE MAN WE NEED.
RS Bud Haines returned from
"A young Langdon's room, where
Y he had left the latter in bed
4 u towel filed with cracked ice
around his head, he saw two familiar
figures standing in secluded corner
of the lobby. They were talking ear
nestly in low voice.
'Whewy' whistled the newspaper
man. ut must be something impor-
tant that brings both the boss of the
senate and Stevens Of Mississippi
here"
Good afternoon, Haines. How are
you?" Senator Stevens said cordially,
as, looking up, he saw the newspaper
man approaching. Senator Peabody,
you know Haines, don't you? The
brightest young correspondent in
Washington"
Senator Peabody of Pennsylvania,
the leading power in the upper house,
was man of commanding character
and of strong personality. The fact
he used these attributes to advance in
the senate the financial interests of
himself, of Standard Steel and other
commercial organizations met with
very little protest in Washington. That
he deserved the title frequently used
In referring to him, "boss of the SEN
ate" none would deny who had knowl
edge of the inner workings of the SEN
ate and the various committees.
Senator Peabody was very affable to
the reporters, especially to those of
Haines' stamp, who had never accept
ed any favors from him and who op-
posed his methods. He aimed to win
the friendship of these opponents by
diplomacy-as he had found that re-
porters of the Haines sort could not
be influenced by money. He consid-
cred reporter who would take bride
as a constructive, conservative member
Of society and frequently regretted
that SO many of the correspondents
sent to Washington could not be
bought nor had bills they wanted pass
ed or defeated. He extended his hand
to Haines as Stevens concluded and
said warmly:
"Of course know the representative
OF the Morning Star! How do you do,
Haines?"
Il wonder II we're not all here on
the same Grand" suggested the news
paper man.
Senator Peabody appeared to be all
candor.
I'VE came to call on Senator Lang
don. Senator stevens new colleague"
