 Thomas" he said to the servant who responded. take that letter at once to Senator Peabody, fin the libra | ry."
 What is if, sir?" asked Randolph.
 "It's the call to arms" responded his fatber grirnly.
 ,Senator Peabody read the letter to ! which Haincs had signed Langdons name and jumped up from his chair in the library in astonishment. Without 1 a word tothe startled Stevens he rush od to confront Langdon.
 What's the meaning of this?" he shouted as he burst in on the junior senator from Mississippi
 "Of whatt' asked the southerner, l with biandness that added fuel to Peabody's irritation. Don't trifie with me. sir.' cried "the boss of the senate" "This letter You sent it. Explain it! I'm in no mood to joke"
 Langdon looked at him calmly.
 T think the letter is quite plain, sem ator," he said "You can read" Then he turned to his daughter. "This dis cussion cannot possibly interest you, my dear. Will you go to the drawing room to receive our guests?"
 Carolina obeyed. She seemed to be discovering new qualities in this father whom she had considered to be too old fashioned for his time.
 "Now. senator, go ahead, and, Ran dcInh. YOU bring Stevens
 "you're switching to Gulf City? 6s- handed Peabody.
 "T'm considering Gulf City" agreed Langdon.
 Peabody brought down his fist on the table.
 It's too late to consider anything. r.angdon," he cried. Were comnitted to Altacoola. and Altacoola 1t is. I ' don't care what you heard of Gulf i City. Now. I'd like 10 settle this thing in friendly manner, Langdon. like always for every member of tho senate to have his share of the power and the patronage. We've been glad to put you forward in this naval base matter We appreciate the straightforwardness, the honesty of your character. You look well. You're the kind of politician the | public thinks it wants nowadays, but you've been in the senate long enough to know that bills have to pass, and you know you can't get through any thing without my friends, and I tell you now I'll throttle any Gulf City plan you bring up'
 'Then if you are as sure of that you can't object to my being for Gulf City?' asked Langdon.
 Are you financially interested in Gulf City?" demanded Peabody. | 'Senstcr Peabody!' exclaimed Lang l don.
 Don't flare up, Langdon." retorted Peabody. That sort of thing has happened n the senate. There are often perfectly legitimate profits to be made in some regular commercial ven- rure by . man who has inside infor- nation as to what's doing up on Capt tol hll!"
 ''Senstor Peabody" asked ranGdon. why are you go strong for Altacoola ~
 Thc Pennsylvanian hesitated. Its natural advantages" he ssid st lsst.
 l The scGthcrner skcok his head
 "Ch. that's all? Well, If natural ad- vantases are going to settle 1t, and not influence. go ahead and vote, and l I'll just bring in minority report for Gulf City"
 The boss of the senate was in a corner now.
 "Confound f. LarsGor. if you will have it, an Interested in Altacoola." ranc-faT r,nf-daT
 '1'hGt's ell l wanted to know" he gaiG.
 "Now rcu zee why it's got to he l Altacocla," persisted the bos's. | Y 6on't rlilsd telling ycu, then, Seq ator Peabody" answered Langdon calmly. that my beiug for Gulf City was bluff. I've been frying to draw you out. Gulf City is mud bank and DO mere fitted 10 be naval base l taan Keo,,uk, Ia. Altacoola it's got to be. for the good Of the country and the honor of Misrissippi.
