CHAPTER XIV.
TUE HoNEYBIRD.

vN the African jungle dwells pretty
little bird that lives on. honey.
The saccharine dainty is there
Il found In the hollows of trees ana
under the bark, where what is known
as the carpenter bee bores and depos-
its his extract from the buds and
blossoms of the tropical forest
The bird Is called the "honeybird"
because 1t is a sure guide to the de-
posits of the delicacy. The bird dis
likes the laborious task Of pecking its
way through the bark to reach the
honey, and so, wise in the ways or
men, 1t procures help. 1t locates Il
nest of honey, then flies about until 1t
sees some natives or hunters, TO whom
it shows itself. They know the honey
bird and know that 1t will lead them
to the treasure store. Following Lbe
bird. which fits just In advance, they
reach the cache Of dripping sweetness
even though unprincipled methods
( were resorted to, but indications were
that more violent agencies would be
called into play owing to the compiled
tons 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 off Langdon fail today" he said,
sit will naturally develop that we must
render 1t impossible in some way for
him to appear in the senate at all, or
we must delay his arrival until after
the report Of the committee on naval
affairs has been made. In either
event he would not have another OPP
portunity 10 speak on that subject
"Of course later, at 1890, we will
know his plan OF action. Then we can
act to the very point, but we must be
prepared for any situation that can
arise"
Cannot the president Of the senate
don on the floor? Then we could ad
journ and shut him off" asked ste
vens
No" responded Peabody; "he ha'
already promised Langdon to recog
nize him. and the president Of the sen
ate cannot be persuaded to break hi
word. ] am painfully aware of thi'
fact"
But Stevens was not yet dissuade'
from the hope of defeating the JUNO
senator from Mississippi by wit alone
Can we not have a speaker get tn
floor before Langdon and have hin
talk for hours-tire out the old kicke
and await a time when he leaves tn
senate chamber to eat or talk to som
visitor we could have call on hin

How clumsyY'
ayes. Such amateurism lowers the
dignity of the United States senate"
Peabody answered dryly.
"But suppose Langdon does not
weaken?" asked Stevens anxiously as
he picked up his hat and coat.
"Then we will go into action with
our guns loaded" was the reply.

dyin' from injuries in automobile

in his chair, crossed one knee over the
