to be warm personal friend of Sen

Or wrote us that he was coming here
because his old friend, the late Sem

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
M tional 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 fit right into the senatorial atmos-
phere." Both laughed derisively. by

Stevens bowed cordially.

luck to have the smartest young man
in Washington on the job"
"All right" laughed Bud, "only don't
make It so strong that he won't recog-
nize me when he sees me. Good
day" And he hurried away to keep a
belated appointment.
"Clever boy" said Stevens as the
newspaper man disappeared.
The boss of the senate agreed.
"Yes. only I'm not sure it's a good
thing for a newspaper man to be too
clever. Spells his usefulness. Makes
him ask too many COMPOUNDED ques-

Stevens acquiesced, for it would
never do to disagree with the boss.
'Tts very kind of you, senator" he
began, changing the subject. ito come

Langdon's colleague grasped the arm
