"Well, l must be going. I'll think

"Wish you'd think about 1t for your

Georgia again nodded approval. "It

many matters of political detail about

Bud Haines paused. Again he thought
over Langdon's offer. Its genuineness
appealed to him. Suddenly there dawn
ed On him an idea of just what it
might mean to be associated with this
honest old citizen who had asked for
his help-who needed ii, as Haines

Langdon started to reply. when a de-
lightfully modulated southern voice in
terrupted:
"Father, I've been out with Mrs.
Spangler to look for some other rooms.
I don't like this hotel, and l found some
that / do like"
Haines turned to see a handsomely
gowned young woman who had the
stamp of a patrician's daughter in her
bearing and her countenance-a bru-
nette, with delicate features, though
determination shone In her eyes and
appeared In the self contained poise of
her head. She was the imperious type
OF beauty and suggested to Haines the
dry point etchings Of Paul Helleu. He
instinctively conceived her to be in
tensely ambitious, and of this Haines
was soon to have unexpected evidence.
Gazing at her with a sense of a grow
ing admiration, Haines gave an invol-
untary start as Senator Langdon
spoke:

Carolina was interested.
"Are you the newspaper man who is

successful and popular senator. We'd
like to help him If we could"
The correspondent bowed.

declared emphatically, failing to notice
that Hope Georgia was somewhat an
noyed at the enthusiasm displayed over
her elder sister. In fact, Hope Georgia
was suffering a partial If not total

Asked about new developments in the
committee on naval affairs, the ready
answer was: "Better see Senator
Langdon. He knows all about the
naval base; has the matter in full
charge. / really know little about it."
So by hiding behind the unsuspect-

diverted from themselves any possible
suspicion and placed Langdon where
he would have to bear the brunt Of
the great scandal that would. they

her daintiness and a feeting g

CHAPTER X.
WHEN SENATORS DISAGREE.

WHEN SENATORS DIsAGREE.
THH wiseacres of Washington had
nightly predicted that the site
of the hundred million dol
lar gulf naval base would be
decided on in March after the excite
ment and gayety attending the presi-
dental Inauguration had subsidized.
On the morning of the day before
this action Of the committee on naval
affairs was to be taken Secretary
Haines sat at his desk in Senator
Langdon's committee room In the cap
itol. Richard Cullen. the favorite as
sociate Of Haines In his journalistic
days, out earlier than usual on his
daily round of the departments for
news for his Chicago paper, had
strolled In and attempted a few of his
characteristic cynicisms. Haines usual
ly found them entertaining. but these
were directed at Senator Langdon.
"Now, let me tell you something.
Dick" the secretary answered firmly.
"Don't you work Off all your dyspeptic
ideas In this neighborhood. My sena-
tor is a great man. They can't appre-
ciate him up here because he's honest
crystal clear. / used to think / knew
what a decent citizen, a real man,
ought to be. but he's taught me some
new things. He'll teach them all some
thing before he gets through"
Cullen hung one leg over Haines'
desk.
you're q nice, quiet, gentlemanly lit
tie optimist, and l like you, old fell
low" retorted Cullen. "But don't de-
ceive yourself too much. Your Senator
Langdon is personally one of the best
ever. But he was born a mark, and a
mark he'll be to the end of time.
HE looks good now. Sure, l like his
speeches, and all that, but just wait.

Their would like to have you"
AS he stood before his two new
found ~friends-for such Haines now
considered the Mississipian and his
daughter-he could not suppress feel
ings of surprise tinged with uncertain
ty. He had, like other newspaper men,
received offers Of employment from
politicians who desired to increase
their influence with the press. Some
times the salary offered had been large,
the work so light that the reporter
could "earn' the money and yet retain
his newspaper position, a scantily dis
guised species Of bribery, which had
wrecked the careers of several promis-
ing young reporters well known to
Haines, young men who had been thus
led into selling their columns by I'M
scrupulous machine dictators.
Haines knew that the Mississippian
had no Interior purpose to serve in his
offer, yet he must have time to think
over the proposal.

said. 81 appreciate the opportunity,

GOLD FOUND
 NEAR VALDEZ

Bob Coles and Harry Brown located gold quartz ledge on the south side of the bay between Fort Liscum and the Narrows this week The ledge is three feet wide and the locators traced it 500 feet. Samples of the rock were brought to Valdez and an assay will be made. There is no doubt as to its being genuine gold quartz, the only question being, how much gold? The ledge is clearly de- fined all the way and of almost uni form width.
 The discovery is only few miles from the Red Ellis property on the other side of the bay, which local syndicate is now developing with better prospects every day, and min ing men are of the belief that exten- slve gold deposits may be found around Valdez bay. Quartz gold was found in Solomon gulch and claims were located several years aGo.-Val- deg Prospector.
