river. No finer prospect was to be had
IN all Mississippi than greeted the eye
from the wide southwest porch, where
on warm evenings the Langdons and
their frequent guests gathered to dine
or to watch the golden splendor Of the
dying sun.
The Langdon family had long been
power In the south. Its sons fought
under Andrew Jackson at New Or
leans, under Zachary Taylor in the
war with Mexico, and In the civil war
men OF that name left their blood on
the fields Of Antietam, Shiloh, the
Wilderness and Gettysburg. But this
family Ct fighting men, Of unselfish
patriots, had also marked influence In
the ways Of peace, as real patriots
should. Generations Of Langdons had

was offered for the person who could

Stevens, who had not hesitated to fat.
ter Norton and use him as cats paw.
This use the Hon. Charles Norton
seemed to consider an honor of large
propositions. Not every first term
congressman can hope for intimacy
with a senator. Norton believed that
his work for Langdon would win him
the family's gratitude and thus further
his ambition to marry Carolina. the
planters Oldest daughter, whose beau.
ty made her the recipient Of many at.
tentions.
A complacent CLEAN shone in Nor
toms eyes as they swept over the fer

might one day have in them II his suit
Tor the hand Of Carolina progressed IA
vorably. Suddenly his reyerie was in
terrupted by the voice of young Ran
dolph Langdon, spirited lad In his
Early twenties, who had just been made
plantation manager by his father.
"Well. how is the honorable today?'
said Randolph, approaching from tie

telling Randolph how some legislators
conduct themselves"
The senator elect paused momentari-
ly, gazing at the congressman, who.
dark visaged. tall. black haired. broad
shouldered and athletic, was visibly
uneasy at having his conversation
with Randolph overheard by the ia
ther.
NO doubt it won't be all plain sail
Ing in Washington for an old fash
ioned man like me. but believe in the
American people and the men they
send to congress-" slowly spoke the
planter. There's Senator Stevens, for
instance. He has always stood for the
rights Of the people. I've read all his
speeches. Just why he brought about
my election it is hard to tell, for I've
been planter all my life except when
fought under Beauregard. / feel
that be did 1t out Of friendship, and /
simply can't say how much l appre-
ciate the honor. am indebted to you,
too, congressman"
Tactfully disclaiming any credit for
his work, only Norton's congressional
training In repression enabled him to
refrain from smiling at Langdon's In
nocence, his belief In Stevens sinceri-
~ and his wonder over his election.
Stevens, the keen, cold and resource
full. who forced his officeholders to
yield him parts of their government
salaries; Stevens, who marketed to
railway companies his influence with
the department Of justice; Stevens,
who was a Republican in the commit
tee room In Washington and a Demo-
crat on the platform in Mississippi;
Stevens, who had consummated the
deal with Martin Sanders. boss of sew
en- counties, to elect Langdon because
of the planters trustfulness and sim
plicity of character, which should make
him easy to influence and to handle In
the all important matter of the gulf
naval base project!
The entry Of Carolina Langdon and
her younger sister. Hope Georgia. gave
Norton welcome opportunity to shift
the trend of conversation.
"You ladies will have gay time In
Washington" he began. after directing
particularly enthusiastic greeting to
Carolina. You will be in great de-
mand at all the big affairs. and l don't
think you will ever want to come back
to old Mississippi. forty miles from

your New York gowns"
Carolina spoke quickly, her face
flushing at the thought of the new
vista Of life now opening. "Yes, !
