Not fresh. colonel; only friendly.
I'm just tipping you off how not to be

A scornful laugh accompanied Tel
fer's reply.
"Altacoola. huh! | reckon yo' must
be Il fool, after all. Why, everybody
knows Of the speculatin' In land around

Bud concluded that he might be able
to get more definite information out of
Teller II he humorcd him bit
Il tell you. colonel he finally said.
these are pretty grave charges you're
making. but I'll tell you confidentially.
owing to your liking for me. that 1t Is
not yet too late to do something for
Gulf City. Now. just suppose you and
dine together tonight early. and Wen
go over the whole ground to see how
things lie VIII you?"
The colonel held out his hand, slnil
ng broadly. He felt that ut last he
had won the secretary over: that the
young man was ut heart anxious to
take money for his influence with the
senator
"All right. my boy. yo're on. Well

Haines impatiently as he endeavored

halted. by the way, senator" he
said. I'll do my best to arrange what
you want regarding aluminium by

I'll also stand with you for Altacoola
for the naval base. Our committee Is
to make its report tomorrow"
Langlon observed the penetrating
gaze that Peabody had fixed on him.
1t seemed to betray that the Pennsyl-
vanian's apparently careless manner
was assumed.

at Haines. I'm not absolutely COM

The boss OF the senate went out,

WHEN SENATOR'S DISAGREE.


"HH wiseacres Of Washington had
nightly predicted that the site
OF the hundred million dol
4 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

sociate Of Haines In his journalistic
days. out earlier than usual on his
daily round Of the departments for
news for bis Chicago paper. had
strolled In aud attempted q few Of his
characteristic cynicisms. Haines usual
~ 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 OF all your dyspeptic
IDEAS IN this neighborhood. My sena-
tor Is great man. They can't appre-
ciatc him up here because he's honest
crystal clear. used to think knew
what II 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 nice. quiet. yentlemanly lit
tie optimist. and l Ike you. old fel-
low" retorteJ 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. like his
speeches. and all that. but just walt
