Carolina Langdon bore herself better
than was to have been expected under
the, strain of the painful interview.
She saw more clearly now how she had
erred. She was undergoing an inward
revolution that would make 1t impos-

ENATOR PEABODY was TIL
~ most surprised man In Wash
ington when he heard the Jun
3d. Tor senator from Mississipp
state that no one was to enrich him
self out of the government naval base

He heaped a mental anathema OF
the head of Stevens for saddling sucl
man on the senate machine" fol
Langdon would of course never had
been put on naval affairs" Gust now
very important to the machine) with
out the 30. K" of Stevens, who had
won heretofore thoroughly reliable
reputation as judge of men, or of
what purported to be men The
thought that at this time, of all times,
there should be man on the commit
tee on naval affairs that could not be
handled was sufficient to make him
who reveled in the title of "boss of the
senate" determine that he must get
another chief lieutenant to replace Ste
vens, who had proved so trustworthy
in the past. Stevens had lost his cum
ming.
AS the vote of Langdon could not be
secured by humbug or in exchange for
favors. and as it could not be "deiv-
cred" Peabody, of course, was willing
to pay in actual cash for the vote
This was the final step. but one in po-
litical conspiracies of this hature-cash
Eut LangdOn would not take cash. so
Peabody had TO resort to the last
agency of the trained and corrupt ma.
nipulator of legislation.
He would threaten.
Moreover. he knew that to make
threats effective, If it is possible to
do so, they must be led up to systemat-
icaly-that is. they should be made at
the right time. The scene must be set
as in a play
Senator Peabody glared at Langdon
as though to convince the latter that
to stand in his way would mean polit-
tcal destruction.
$50 nobody is going to make a cent,
eh? Well, | suppose you want all the
profits for Yourself" Turning to Ste
vens, who had just entered. the Penn
sylvanian cried:
"Do you but listen to our suddenly
good friend Langdon. He wants to be
the only man to make money out of
the naval base. He won't listen to any
other member of the naval committee
making a cent out of it. Why, he
Great God, sir" exclaimed Langdon.
'You are going too far, Peabody. You |
state what is false, and you know it,
'"Then you are willing that others !
should have their rightful share?" put
n Stevens. ooh, | understand now,

Langdon walked over to Stevens and
