itol. Richard Cullen. the favorite as,
sociate of Haines in his Journalistic
days. out earlier than usual on his
daily round of the departments for
news for his Chicago paper, had
strolled in and attempted a few of his
characteristic cynicisms. Haines usual
ly found them entertaining. but these
were directed at Senator Langdon.
Now, let me tell you something.

thrust his pad into his pocket and hur-

TTo BE Continued
The Earth's Surface.

The surface of the earth can be
compared to the top of barrel of
asphalt, hard and rigid through and
through. scanned and cracked on the
surface by the elements. For ten
miles in "a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard. of rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center Of the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, Just
as YOU can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure Of heat in
the earth. The character of matter
in the center of the earth or its i'm
mediate environment must be some
thing like pumice stone-spongy,
porous, light-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted in
the high temperatures that are
there it dissolves, and there is con-
siderable water in it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

and wants our future profits for him,
self. The old one thinks he's going
to die, and he's sore at leaving so
much graft behind him"
Heads and hearts thinking and throb-
bling together, Langdon and his secre-
tary, Haines, plodded along. They
had learned to lean on each other.

old, the old gaining strength from the
young. They loved each other, and,
more than any love, they trusted one

Mr.. Bud Haines was quite the finest
specimen of young manhood this
world had ever produced. How could
he have happeped She was sure that
she had never met his equal. not even
in that memorable week she had spent
in Jackson.
The passing weeks taught Haines
that he was deeply in love with Caro-
lima, and, though he had endeavored
to keep the knowledge of this from
her. her woman's intuition had told her
his secret, and she stifed the momen-
tary regrets that fitted into her mind,
because she was now in 1.-The game"
herself, the Washington game. that
ensnares the woman as well as the
man ani makes her a slave to its fan
cy. No one but herself and Norton
knew how deeply she had plunged"
on a certain possible turn of the po-
litical cards. She must not, she could
not, lose. if life itself were to remain
of value to her, and on her sway over
this secretary she was told it all de-
pended
A subject that for some uneyplain-
able reason frequently lodged in
Haines' mind was that of the appar-
ent assiduity with which Mrs. Spangler
cultivated Senator Lahgdon's friend
ship. For several years she had occu
pied high social position at the CAPT
tai, he well knew, but various inde6
nite intangible rumOrS he had heard,
he could not state exactly where had
made him regret her growing intimacy
with the girls and with the senator.
They had met her through letters of
introduction of the most trustworthy
md assuring character from people Of
highest social rank in Virginia, where
the Langdons had many friends, but
even so, Haines realized, people who
write Introductory letters are some
times thoughtless in considering all the |
circumstances of the parties they in |
trcduce, and residents of Virginia who |
had not been in the capital for years
might be forgiven for not knowing of |
all the more recent developments in |
the lives of those they knew in Wash |
ington. While not wishing to have the |
Senator know of his intention, the sec |
rotary determined to investigate Mrs |
Spangler and her present mode of life |
at his first opportunity, hoping the
while that his quest would reveal her |
to be what the Langdons considered |
her-a widow of wealth, fashion apd |
reserve who resided at the capital be-
cause the memories of her late hus-
band, a former congressman of high |

Asked about new developments in the
committee on naval affairs, the ready
answer was: Better see Senator
Langdon. He knows all about the
naval base; has the matter in full
charge. | really know little about it"
So by hiding behind the unsuspect-

diverted from themselves any possible
suspicion and placed Langdon where
he would have to bear the brunt Of
the great scandal that would, they
well knew, come out at some future
time - after their foul conspiracy
against the nation had been consum-
mated, after the fruits Of their be-
