they were anxious that AltaCoola
should have the naval base regardless
Of the claims or merits OF any other
section. That was unusual, pulling
TO Langdou. Moreover. 1t was poor
business, yet there were able business
men In the senate. Not one of them
would, for instance think of buying
site for factory until he had inveSti,
gated many possible locations aud then
selected the most favorable one. Why
was il. he pondered, that the business
Of the great United States Of America
was not conducted on business linesf
He must study the whole question in
tetligently: that was imperative. He
must have advice, help. To whom was
he to go for ii? stevens: Yes, his old
friend, who knew all the ropes" Yet
even Stevens seemed different in Wash
ington than Stevens in Mississippi.
Here he played second fiddle" He
was even obsequious. Langdon had OBJ
served, TO Peabody, In Mississippi he
was a leader. and a strong one too. But
Senator I.angdon had not yet learned
Of the many founts from which polit,
ical strength and political leadership
may be gained.
What he finally decided on was the
engaging Of secretary. but he must
he one with knowledge of political op-
erations, one who combined wisdom
With honesty. Such an aid could pre-
| vent Langdoh from making the many
mistakes that invariably mark the new
man in politics, and he could point out
the most effective modes Of procedure
| under given circumstances 1t might
essafy qualifications who was not al
| ready employed, but in the meantime
Lansdon would watch the playing Of
| the game himself and make his own
deductions IA best he could.
The senator started toward the hotel
desk to ask regarding the whereabouts
Of his son Randolph when his atten-
tton was caught by the sight of three

toward the door.
The Mississippian's fighting blood
was instantly aroused at such treat
ment OF a respectable old white man
by negroes. His lips tightly compress

cried sharply.
Take your hands Off that gentle
man! What do you mean by touching
a friend Of mine"
Inc negroes stepped back amazed
"Scuse me, senator. is this gent man

gasped apologetically.

The head porter turned quickly on
