"I lost my .sead because you wouldn't promise me something needed-that appointment for Hagiey. What 1 said about sena- tors an such was all wild words nothin' in 'em. Why. how could there be. senatorT' This query was happy afterthought which Sanders craftily suggested In designedly artless man ner.
 Just what thought and know. ex- claimed Langdon sharply. Tt couldn't be; 1t isn't possible. Now you go. sir, ard let 1t be your greatest disgrace that you are not fit to enter any gen tleman's house."

 After Sanders departure the colonel sat at his table. his head resting in his hand. the events of the day crowding his brain bewilderingly.
 ''The battles of peace are worse than any Beauregard ever led me into" he murmured Fighting to conquer one self is harder than turning the left flank of the Eighth Illinois in an en- filading fire"
 But the new senator from Mississippi did not know that for him the wars of peace had only just begun, that per haps his own flesh and blood and that of the wife and mother who had gone before would turn traitor to his colors in the very thickest of the fray.

 Haines smiled. The chap who has played halfback four years on his col lege eleven and held the boxing cham pionship fin his class is apt to be good natured. He does not have to take of fense easily. Besides, Randolph Lang don was plainly under the influence of whisky. So Haines smiled pleasantly at the taller young man.

CHAPTER II. THE WARS OF PEACE

"NIG BILL" LANGDON was the term by which the new sena- D tor from Mississippi had been O affectionately known to his in- inmates for years. He carried his 230 pounds with case. bespeaking great muscular power in spite of his gray hairs. His rugged courage, unswerv- Ing honesty and ready belief in his friends won him a loyal following, some of whom frequently repeated what was known as Bill Lahgdon's Golden Rule:"
 There never was man yet who didn't have some good in him. but most folks don't know this because their own virtues pop up and blind 'em when they look at somebody else"
 At the reunions of his old war com rades Langdon was always depended on to describe once again how the Third Mississippi charged at Craw- fordsville and defeated the Eighth Hi nois. But the stirring events of the past had served to increase tie plant er's fondness for his home life and his children, whose mother had died years before. At times he regretted that his unexpected political duties would take him away from the old plantation even though the enthusiastic approval of Carolina and Hope Georgia proved con siderable compensation.
 Although not sworn in as senator, Colonel Langdons political duties were already pressing. A few days after Congressman Norton's visit he sat in his library comforting with several prominent citizens of his county re garding plan to ask congfess to ap- propriate money to dredge a portion of the channel of the Pearl river, which would greatly aid large sec tion of the state.
 During the deliberations the name of Martin Sanders was announced by Jackson, the colonel's gravely deco rous negro bodyguard, who boasted that he ''wuz brung up by Cunel Marse Langdon. suh. fightin' Mississippi cunel, suh. sence long befo' de wah and way befo dat suh.''
 "Show Mir. Sanders right in." com mca1cd C3!o::Sl sI-22scon.
 Good day, senator" spoke Sanders, the boss of seven counties, as he en- tered. Glancing around the room, he continued, bending toward the colo nel and mufiling his now whispering voice with his hand: 'l want to speak to you alone. I'm here on politics" That's all right. but these gentle men here are my friends and constitu- ents," was the reply in no uncertain voice. When I talk politics they have perfect right to hear what I, as their senator, say. Out with 1t, Mir Sanders
 As Sanders was introdpced to the members of the conference he grew red in the face and stared at Langdon amazed. At last he had discovered something new in politics. Say" he finally blurted. "when I talk business 1 P' Are you in politics as business" quickly spoke Colonel Langdon.

 "Ain't it the limitT remarked the chief clerk to Bud Haines. correspond ent of the New York Star. .'The sen ator wrote us that he was coming here because his old friend. the late Sen ator Moseley. said back in 70 that this was the best hotel in Washington and where all the prominent men ought to stay"
 Haines, the ablest political reporter in Washington. had come to the Inter national to interview the new senator, to describe for his paper what kind of a citizen Langdon was. He glanced around at the dingy woodwork, the worn cushions, the nicked and uneven tiles of the hotel lobby, and smiled at the clerk. Well, if this is the new senator's idea of princely luxury he will it right into the senatorial atmos- phere." Both laughed derisively. By the way" added Haines. Il suppose you'll raise your rates now that you've got a senator here."

sufficient to tide her over the danger

Mrs. Lipplncott, whose maiden
name was Flora Balm, was born in

all her life. She was one of nine
children, her chair in the family
