The secretary smiled In puzzling

He could scarcely gain his breath as
he saw creep into Carolina's eyes what
he believed to be the light Of hope for
him, the light even Of woman's prom

"Who knows, Mr.. Haines? There's

Haines laughed-the strong. hopeful,
fighting laugh of the man who would

he was confident.

Norton. II have to see the senator as

Norton turned angrily on the girl as
the door closed.

Carolina Langdon would not permit

Norton had persuaded Carolina to in

IN Washington society with that!
The continued uncertainty over her
fathers final attitude had strained her
nerves almost TO the breaking, for the
mccess Of the conspiracy depended on
his vote. Not even the words Of Nor

That Carolina must sacrifice Haines

taken under the control of the government,
