CHAPTER XIII.
AN OLD FASHIONED FATHER.

AN OLD FASHIONED FATHER.
@ONGRESSMAN NORTON was
startled visibly at the sight Of
4 Carolina and Haines appar-
emily so wrapped up In each
other. Perhaps she was getting inter-
ested in the handsome, interfering Sec
rotary. That a woman sometimes
breaks her promise to wed he well
knew. Plainly Carolina was carrying
things too far for a girl who was the
promised wife of another.
Carolina and Haines showed surprise
at Norton's entrance.
The congressman advanced and spoke
sneeringly, his demeanor marking him
to be in a dangerous mood.
"Do 1 intrude?" he drawled DELHI
erately.
Carolina drew away her hands from
Haines and faced the newcomer.
Intruder" she exclaimed contemptu-
ously, a tone that Norton construed as
In his favor and Haines In his own.
~"Intrude!' Haines laughed sarcas-
tically, feeling that now he was leader
In the race for love against this Mis-
sissippi representative, who was, he
knew, a subservient tool and a taker
of brides. 'You surely do intrude,
Norton. Wouldn't any man who had
interrupted a tete-a-tete another man
was having with Miss Langdon be in
truding?"
81 suppose I can't deny that" he re-
piled.
The secretary smiled again.
"I1l match you to see who stays"
he said.
But Norton's turn to defeat his rival
had come. He held out a paper to
Haines.
Senator Langdon gave me this for
you. / reckon / don't have to match"
The secretary opened the note to
read:
"Where in thunder does that hy-
drate come from-South America or
Russia? How much off on the tariff
on the creature do we want? Come
over to the committee room, where I
am, right away. Say it's an urgent
message and get In with a tip"
The secretary looked up, with a
laugh.
"You win, Norton. I'm of. Good
by" And he started on a run to the
senator's aid.

Langdon. "And, senator, l would like

It seemed to betray that the Pennsyl-

was assumed.

at Haines. "I'm not absolutely COM
