RESCUE. IN THE NICK or TIME. LATER in that never to be forgotten
 day Bud TIaines ventured back
 to his desk in the committee A room. after first ascertaining that Senator Langdon would not re- turn. Some of the senator's papers must be strengthened out and he want ed personal documents of his own.
 The secretary respectfully. serrowful- lg performed these final duties and found himself stopping at various in- tervals to try to explain to himself how he had been deceived in both the Lang dons. father and daughter. He had to give up both problems. To him nei- ther was explainable. I've known enough senators to know that I'd never meet an honest one." he muttered. But as to women-well there's too much carefully selected wisdom In their innocence to suit me"
 This cynic. new born from the shell of the chronic idealist that was. sud denly was disturbed in his ruminations by a sound at the door. Looking up, he saw Hope Georgia Langdon stand ing shyly. embarrassed. in the main entrance.
 MT. Haines." she said timidly.
 Bud jumped to his feet.
 .Yes. Miss Hope Georgia.
 As the senator's younger daughter came toward him he noticed that she was excited over something. and for newly made cynic he took altogether oe much notice of her youthful beauty, her fresh. rosy complexion and her dancing, sparkling eyes. The thought occurred to him. What woman she will make-if she doesn't initiate her sister,

 Then Hope Georgia abruptly stop ped She had lost her head and in the enthusiasm of the moment had re veaied her real feelings something she would never do presumably when she grew more wise In the ways of women.
 She suddenly thrust Haines hands from her own and stood staring at him, wondering-wonderin if he had guessed.
 Strangely enough. under the circum- stances. the girl was the first to re- cover and break the awkward silence.

 The other sister laughed confidently. Little Hope make troublef Of course not. If she does. we can always fright en her into obedience" The door reopened and Hope entered. followed by Bud Haines. The girls head was high: her cheeks were red her eyes glittered ominously. -I brought him back. Carolina = she said coodiy. Father will want to see him l know there has been some mistake"
 Yes" supplemented Bud. there has been q decided mistake. and l mnst re- fuse to accept the word that came to me from Senator Langdon." Carolina Langdon drew herself up is her most dignified manner.

 Little realizing that the girl was speaking in his own favor. for he knew not the need for such speaking. he believed her to be defending her father He grasped her hands i'm pulsively.

 Hope Langdon's face flushed indig nantly

 .Iil be fair with you. Hope" he said reassuringly. and she stopped in her flight to the hall door. '.I'll take Caro- lima and Randolph fin to see the sena- tor. and we'll tell him Mir. Haines is here. Perhaps we had better tell the senator" Norton suggested, beckoning to Carolina and her brother Let Mir. Haines wait here. and We will make the situation clear to the senator.

 When the door closed after them Hope came dewn to the table where Bud Haines WAS standing

 Thank you. Miss Hope. You don't realize all you've done for me" said Bud seriously It's wonderful thing to find girl who believes in n man. You've taught me lot. Miss Hope. Thank you
 "Goodby, Mir. Haines. Come to- night" she said as she turned and hur- ried away.
 Bud Haines stood looking after her thoaghtfully.
 "What stunning girl she is, I've seemed to overlook her. with the rush of events-a Carolina" he murmur- ed softly We never were such very great friends. yet she believes in me. What q beauty she is.'

 Great heavens," he exclaimed as he read it. Here's the chance to get to the bottom of this Altacoola proposi- tion. It's from Peabody"
 Haines read the following:
 Dear Senator Langdon-I am going to Philadelphia tonight. Urgent call from a company for which l am counsel. so probably won't be able to confer with you regarding the commttees choice for the naval base. But know you are for Alta coola and trust to you to do ali you can for that site l of course consider the matter definitely settled
