with Peabody in the processes Of legis-

self that he did not like the senator
from Pennsylvania. Just what it was
Langdon could not at this time make
certain. but he was mystified by traces
OF contradictions in the senator's char

sympathy were to Langdon's mind
partly genuine and partly false. lust
what was the cause Of or the necessity
for the alloy in the true metal he could
not fathom.
His talk with these famous lawmak-
ers was unsatisfactory also in that II
had conveyed to Langdon the sugges-
ton that the senate was not primarily
great forum for the general and &C.
tive consideration of weighty meas
ures and of national policies. 1t had
been his idea that the senate was prt
marily such forum, but the attitude
Of Peabody and Stevens had limited tl
him that there were matters Of indiv
unl interest that outwelghed public OF
national considerations. For instance

United States-aId the north and the
south both have forgiven"
Senator Peabody clapped the new
member on the back

In mock protest the senior senator

Now. now. Langdon. don't say that.
Your worth, your integrity. your char

The old planter laughed gleefully.
"Sure, Stevens. have the character

character and integrity wouldn't have
done much business IL you hadn't had

Clearly delighted. Peabody consider
