Haines grinned broadly at this de-

Mississippian. I'm beginner you

'Then," drawled Langdon. "the thing

Haines? We-eh-I-I know my ia
ther would like to have you"
AS he stood before his two new
found friends-for such Haines now
considered the Mississipian and his
daughter-he could not suppress feel
ings of surprise tinged with uncertain
ty. He had, like other newspaper men,
received offers Of employment from
politicians who desired to increase
their influence with the press. Some
times the salary offered had been large,
the work so light that the reporter
could "earn" the money and yet retain
his newspaper position, scantily dis
guised species of bribery, which had
wrecked the careers of several promis-
ing young reporters well known to
Haines, young men who had been thus
led into selling their columns by un-
scrupulous machine dictators.
Haines knew that the Mississippian
had no Interior purpose to serve In his
offer, yet he must have time to think
over the proposal.
81 thank you, senator" he finally
said. Il appreciate the opportunity,
coming from you, but I've never
thought Of giving up the newspaper
profession. It's fascinating career,
one that am too fond of to leave"

lightfully modulated southern voice in

Haines turned to see handsomely
gowned young woman who had the
stamp Of patrician's daughter in her
bearing and her countenance-a bru-
nette, with delicate features, though
determination shone In her eyes and
appeared in the self contained poise of
her head. She was the imperious type
Of beauty and suggested to Haines the

instinctively conceived her to be In

Y ANGDON leaned over and seized
the arm Of his interviewer.
''See here, young man, why
49, aren't you in politics?" he said.
"Too busy, senator" replied Haines.
Besides. | like the newspaper game"
"Game% queried Langdon.
"Oh, | use the word In general
sense. senator" replied Haines. "Pret-
ty much everything is 'game'-socie-
ty, politics. newspaper work, business
of every sort. Men and women make
moves to meet the moves of other
men and women. Why, even In reli-
gion, the way some people play a.
The speaker was interrupted by the
appearance Of Hope Georgia, who was
searching for her father.
"Stay here and listen to what hard
task your old father has got" said the
Mississippian to his daughter. whom
he presented to Haines with pictur-
esque flourish reminiscent Of the pride
and chivalry Of the old south. HE has
the idea that those New Workers who
read his paper would actually like to
know something about me-"
Hope Georgia stole many glances at
the reporter as he talked with her ia
ther. He made deep impression on
her young mind. She had spent almost
all her life on the plantation, her IA
ther providing her with private tu-
tor instead of sending her to boarding
school, where her elder sister had been
educated. Owing to the death Of her
mother the planter had desired to keep
Hope Georgia at home for companion
ship. This good looking, clean cut.
well built young man who was taking
so big and so active part Of the
worlds work brought to her the at
mosphere that her spirit craved. He
gave one an impression of ability. Of
earnestness. of sincerity. and she was
glad that her father approved Of him.
Hope Georgia. by the same token,
did not escape the attention of the In
terviewer. Her appealing charm Of
face and figure was accentuated by
her daintiness and feeting sugges-
ton Of naivete In poise and expression
when she was amused. His first
glance revealed to Haines that her
eyes were gray. the gray that people
say indicates the possessor to have
those priceless qualities-the qualities
that make the sweetest women true,
| that make the maiden's eyes In truth
the windows of her SOUL the qualities
that make women womanly.
