county present when Sanders entered
and who had no desire to witness fur
ther the unpleasant episode rose to
leave, in spite Of the urgent request OF
Colonel Langdon that they remain.
The only one reluctant to so was Dea-
con Amos Smallwood, who, coming to
the plantation to seek employment for
his son, had not been denied Of his de-
sire to join the assemblage OF his
neighbors.
Last to move toward the door, he
stopped in front Of Sanders, stretched
his FIVE feet three inches Of stature on
tptoe and shook withered fist in the
boss firmly set, determined face.
"Infamousr' shrieked the deacon.
you're a monster! You're unright-

"Never heard tell O. them," muttered
Sanders, deeply puzzled. Guess they
was never in Mississippi in my time"
His accompanying gesture Of per-
plexity caused the deacon to hasten his
exit. Tripping over the leg Of a chair.
he fell headlong into the arms Of the
watchful Jackson, who received the
deacon's blessing for uplifting the
righteous in the hour Of their fall"
Relieved at the departure Of the wit

gressiveness. ITO be sure, senator,

promise me anything for my support
at the election, as you say" the leader
sneered, "but you had Jim Stevens to

Certainly you're a senator, but
what's a senator anyhow? I'll tell you.
Mr.. Colonel Langdon, senator is a
man who holds out for his own pocket
as much as us fellows that make him
will stand for. When we don't get our
rightful share. he's through"
With sudden start, as though to
spring at Sanders throat, Langdon,
with compressed lips and eyes blaz-

with grip that threatened to rend
the polished boards With intensest
effort he slowly regained control Of
himself. His fury had actually weak
