CHAPTER xXIII.

''TYE BOSS cg THE SENATE" GAINS A
 NEW ALLY.
 H Z RS. SPANGLER would have iN3 flattered herself on guessing
 x correctly as to Senator Pea ! A lndy's uneasiness had she heard and ceen all that had taken place in his apartment at the Louis Napoleon Hotel. where be had hurried ly taken Senator Stevens on leaving the I.angdon house.
 Not only would the two senators lose their immense profits on the Alta coola transaction if Langdon persisted in his opposition. but they would lose as well the thousands of dollars spent by their agents fin purchasing options on hundreds of acres and, where they coul1 not get options, the land itself. This land would be on their hands, un- salable. if the base went somewhere else. Moreover. they feared that Lang don's revolt would bring unpleasant newspaper publicity to their opera tions.
 There's only one course 10 pursue. Stevens" snapped Peabody as they took off their overcoats. "That is to be prepared as best we can for the very worst ard meet 1t In some way yet to be determined But first we must try to figure out what I.angdon

When Conan Doyle was In America he was travelling from New York te Chicago when an energetic person with a Derby hat on the back of his head and cigar stuck In his mouth at m angle of five degrees boarded the train and entered the novelist's car.
 T reckon" he said, that you are the celebrated Conan DoyleT
 'That is my name," admitted Sir Arthur

 "You are an authorT remarked Sir Arthur. 'T am glad to meet you"
 "Yes. I have published book every year since 1So0."

 Sure. It's the premium list of the Jones county agricultural fair. Allow me to present you with a copy of 1t. I'm the secretary of the Jones county board.

 The enterprising secretary of the Jones county board made speed rec ord of his own on the last sentence, wrUng the novelist's hand and was out of sight down the platform before the astonished creator of Sherlock Holmes could get his breath.

He thinks he's member of congress- I told the two huskies that handled him an gave 'em each twenty case note. The doctor that signed the necessary papers got considerable more."
 Stevens gasp of amazement caused the narrator genuine enjoyment.
 'T know of certain senator who was drunk an laid away in Turkish bath when tho roll was called on a cor tain bill. He was a friend of Pea body's," laughed the lobbyist to the Mississippian.
 But in his case" said Stevens. i've must be very careful Possibly some of your methods in andGg the men you go after"--

 The speaker raused and glanced across at Peabody, who. however, was too busily engaged in writing in a memorandum book to notice flim.
 "Why, Senator Stevens" went on the lobbyist. "only today down east member held me up to tell me that hc was strong for that proposition to give the A.

 Stcinert jerked his head forward quickly.
 You mean what would l do if ! was--er--if was runnin' the Job?"
 Yes"
 Steinert leaned toward Peabody.
 "Whore do l come in on this?" he asked susplciously.
 Come. come, man." was the irritable retort ''I never let few dollars stand between myself and my friends" "Ali right, senator"
 The lobbyist thrust himself down in his chair, puffed slowly at cigar and gazed thoughtfully at the ceiling.
 ''Few years ago" he began after a minute or two, 'there was feller who

 ''Oh, that's all right. Maybe he can 0uggest something" said Peabody, go- ing to the telephone. We've too much at stake to make mistake. and Jake may see point that we've overlooked Luckily I saw him downstairs in the grill room as we came through to the elevator"
 "Steinert is all right himself con tinued Stevens, but his methods
 Cant be too particular now about his methods--or ours, Stevens, when bull like Lansdon breaks loose in the political china shop. Fortune and rep Etation are both fragile"
 A ring of a bell announced the arriv- al of Jake Steinert. whose reputation as lobbyist of advanced ability had spread wide in the twenty years he had spent in Washington. Of medium height, sallow complexion, dark hair and dark eyes, bls broad shoulders fill cd the doorway as he entered. An lily kept mustache almost hid thin lip- ped. forceful mouth, almost as forceful as some of the language he used. His eyes darted first to Peabody and then to Stevens, waiting for either of them to open the conversation.
 The highest class lobbyists, those who ''swing" the biggest deals" con- cern themselves only with men who can handle" or who control lawmak- CTS. They get regular reports and out line the campaign. Like crafty spiders they hide in the center of great web, web of bribery, threat. cajolery and intrigue, intent on every victim that Is lured into the glistening neshes.
 Only the small fry mingle freely with the legislators fin the open. in the ho- tels and cafes and fin the capitol corri- dors.
 Jake Steinert did not belong in either of these classes; he ranked somewhere between the biggest and the smallest. He coupled colossal boldness with the most expert knowledge of all the intri- cate workings of the congressional mechanism. Given money to spend among members to secure the defeat of bill. he wonld frequently put most of the money ih his own pocket and for comparatively small sum defeat it by influencing the employees through whose hands it must pass.
 "Sit down, Jake. Something to drink?" asked Peabody, reaching for decanter.
 No" grutted the lobbyist; don't drink durin' business hours; only durin' the day"
 Well. Jaki," said the Pennsylvanian. you probably know something Of what's goina on in the naval affairs committed"

 "Yes."

The project is a big one and will
call for a lot OF expensive work, but
when IL Is finished II will give water
to several square miles Of the most
promising land on the reserve. The
water VIII be taken from the Pend
d'Orielle river ut point about four
miles south OF Poison. Here the river
bends almost at right angles, circling
the base of one OF the rolling hills
along the lake. A tunnel 1900 feet
long will be bored through this hill
and at one end of II will be built a
power station. Tho water coming
through the tunnel Will give the sta
ton its power and the plant Will pump
water from the river up into a reser-
yoir on top of the hill This reser-
yoir Will be 80 placed that the wa
ter from II can reach almost any part
of the surrounding country. Irrigat-
ing bitches and fumes will be run
from the reservoir and the whole of
the hilly country around Poison viii

purposes.
J. X. Smith, speaking Of the work
last night. said that within the next

work on the project. He estimated
that II would take Is months to finish
