The girl turned to one side, as
though to give Norton a chance to
leave.
He looked at her in silence a mo-

into his bearing. Wrinkling his face
into a sheer, he stepped before the

"You've been converted mighty sud

the entertainment at his home. Bud
Haines, reinstated as secretary, was
picking up the thread of routine where
he had dropped it the day before,
though his frequent thought of Hope
and the words that had thrilled him
Il love you, l love you fondly"-made
this task unusually difficult. He i'm
patiently wished the afternoon to
hasten along, as he knew he would
then see her in the senate gallery,
where she would go to hear her ia
theirs speech.
This speech had to be revised in
some particulars by Bud, and the work
he knew would take up much of his
morning. The senator's speech was
''The South Of the Future which he
would deliver when recognized by the
president of the senate in connection
with the naval base bill, that officer
having agreed to recognize Langdon at
$50, at which time the report of the
naval affairs committee would be re-
ceived. Just how Langdon would turn
the tables on Peabody and Stevens and
yet win for the Altacoola site not ever

politics, had solved. Clearly the sena-
tor would have to do some tall think

The junior senator from Mississippi
burat into the Office with his habitual
CHEEKY greeting, his broad brimmed
black felt hat in it's usual position on
the back of his head, like a symbol of
undying defiance.
"a busy day for us, eh, senators"
queried Bud.
"Now, look here, my boy, don't be-

Bud laughed through the flush that
rose in his cheeks.
"No, 1 won't forget that. But have
you decided what to tell Peabody and
Stevens as your plan of action II they
come in here at 12:3O?'
eff they come?' exclaimed Langdon.
"Theyll come. Watch en-"
Then he hesitated worriedly.
"IYl have to incubate an idea be-
tween now and Don somehow. But
don't forget this, Bud-we're worried
about them, true enough, but they're
worried q heap more about US"
Senator Langdon stepped into an aG-
Joining ROOM, where he could be alone,
to "incubate."
AS Haines resumed his work Carroll
ma Langdon entered.
Avoiding the secretary's direct gaze,
she asked for her father.
"He ought to be back shortly, Miss
Langdon,' responded Haines. you can
wait here. l must ask pardon for leaV-
Inc. as l must run over to the library"
AS the secretary bowed himself out
Of the door he almost collided With
Congressman Norton. Both glared at
each other and remained silent.

Carolina would rather not have met

take she had made. She saw that hel

MAY Be HEIRS TO
WAR WICK ESTATE
MRS. REGINA NEVILLE EVANS
AND BROTHERS DESCEND
ANTS OF IRISH EARL

When the Earl of Warwick, mem
ber of the British nobility, left this
vale Of tears for the eternal life, he
mated to be worth somewhere be-
tween s1,000,000 and $2,O0O,O00. The
disposition of such large estate finds
many claimants all ever the world. 1t
is far cry from the British Isles to
Ottumwa, but nevertheless this city
has claimant for a share Of the late
Earl Of Warwicks estate. Mrs. Regina
Neville Evans, Of north of the city,
is the local heir, and is descendant
through her father, Of the earl. Inas-
much as the old former Ottumwa Ne
vile family descended from the same
line as the Earl of Warwick, the
chance that Mrs. Evans, as well as
her brothers, their children and sis
ter's children are in line for slice
of the fortune, Is a good one.
When seen relative to the legacy
Mrs. Regina Neville Evans, wife of a
prominent stockman Of north of the
city, laughingly said that she did not
lose any sleep over the prospect, al
though she was interested to the eX-
tent that she would attempt to get
what might be due her. She stated
that her first information Of the leg
acy was some three weeks ago when
cousin from Alton called on her and
made her acquainted with the informa-
tion which she got through legal
sources. Mrs. Evans and her cousin
have secured an attorney from Mime
sofa to look after their interests and
have dispatched him to Ireland to sift
the thing to the bottom.
/ There are others we'll known here
who are in line for share of the es-
tate, being Tom Neville. former OF
