a real senator and two such young
women handsomely gowned seemed to
take the old hotel back a score of
years-back to the times when such

ancient greatness of the now dinsy

"IIow are you. senator? Glad to

And, there being a vacancy on the
committee on naval affairs,'' continued
Stevens. whose dignity was offended
by the reporters interruption, "the
friends of Senator Langdon are work
Ing to have him appointed on that
committee, because he comes from the
state where the naval base will be
located and will, like myself, be more
familiar with the availability Of the
various sites suggested than a man
from another state"
Haines nodded.
Eyes, of course. What towns going
to get it, senator?"
Senator Stevens paused judiciously.
"Well," he said, "Altacoola and Gulf
City are the chief candidates. 1 sup
pose you had better talk to Langdon
about it,"
The reporter smiled.
"That's just what l came for, sen.

newspaper man disappeared.
The boss of the senate agreed.

to. BY the way, there's Norton now.
Perhaps he can tell us something"
call him over" said Peabody.
Norton had been strolling about the
lobby, hoping 20 be noticed. The
tame had lured the moth, and it liked
the manner of the smuggling. The con-
gresham hurried precipitately across
at Stevens summons.

The congressman drew a long breath.
Els eyes beamed with gratitude.

Peabody smiled.

The ruler of the senate nodded a curt
dismissal.
THANK you, senator; thank you very
much" And Norton bowed and left,
rejoicing.
Peabody turned to Stevens.
You see, even a congressman can
be useful sometimes" remarked Ste
ven dryly.
"Keep your eye on that young man,
Stevens. He's the most valuable con-
gresham we've had from our state
in a long while. Does just what he is

The boss nodded.
"And it's likely that a man like
Langdon, new to politics-a simple
gentleman of the old school, as you de-
scribe him-might have considerable
influence on opinion throughout the
country"
Langdon's colleague grasped the arm
of the senatorial dictator.
"He's just the man we want,

just, have to believe when he talks.
He'll do what 1 suggest, and he can

Peabody grunted approvingly.
"There won't be any New York for

or indirectly, in a financial way, that
would clinch everything"
The senior senator from Mississippi

president has announced his inten-
tion to remain on the inside.
The clash was brought about by a
difference in opinion between the
two men as how the club should be
conducted. Burns is understood to
have urged that some of the COM
mercialism be cut out of the racing
game. and TO have objected TO the
manner In which the fight against
the Walker-Otis bill was conducted
at Sacramento. williams grew peev-
ish and the breach became wider.
Recently Williams announced that
no more dividends need be expected
from Jockey CLUB stock. After
wards he is said to have attempted
to gan controlling interest in the
club by Offering stockholders par, 20
per cent in cash, the balance to be
paid in two years. The debt was 20

stock held in escrow until the obli-
