calling her. At any moment he might
remember his speech and leave. Al

though, because he would have no car

To gain time and to hold the sena-
tors attention Mrs Spangler asked
slowly:
AWell, senator, what was it that you
were going to say when / interrupted
you a few moments ago?"
Langdon had been racking his brain
for some inspiration that would enable
him to save the feelings of his hostess
and yet indicate his position clearly.
He would not commit himself in any
way He would jump up and pro-
nounce her an impostor first.
After moment of silence his cloud
ed face cleared.
"Mrs. Spangler," he began, 'your an
nouncement today l have considered

"Premature," she suggested.

the clock "I'm late, I'm late! / hope

Mrs. Spangler. 'Better wait. You'll

though mystified:

enthusiasm for his cause gave him
strength and stimulation as he pro-
gressed. His voice rose majesticaIly
as he came to the particular points he
wished to accentuate, and even those
in the uppermost rows in the galleries
could hear his every word.

The junior senator from Mississippi
hurriedly pushed his way out of the
senate chamber. His days work was
done.
Down on a broad plantation along
the Pearl river an old planter, who has
borne his years well, as life goes now
adays, passes his days contentedly. He
delights in the rompings of his grand
children as they rouse the echoes of
the mansion and prides himself on the
achievements of their father, Ran
dolph, who has improved the planta-
ton to point never reached before.
Sometimes he receives letter from
his daughter, Hope Georgia. now Mrs
Haines, telling him of her happy life. or
perhaps it is letter from Carolina
describing the good times she is having
in London with the friends she is visit
ing.
And the old planter goes out on the
broad veranda in the warm south
ern twilight. and he thinks of the
days that were. He remembers how
the Third Mississippi won the day at
Crawfordsville He thinks of the days
when he fought the good fight In
Washington. His thoughts turn to the
memory Of her who went before these
many years and whom he is soon to
see again, and peace descends on the
soul of the gentleman from Missis-
sippi as the world drops to slumber
around him.
