AN OLD FAsHIoNEp FATHFR.

AN OLD FASHIONED FATHER
~ONGRESSMAN NORTON was
startled yisibly at the sight of
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 dangerous mood
"Do l intruder he drawed 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.
Intruder Haines laughed sarcas-
tically, feeling that now he was leader
in the race for love against this Mis-
sissippi representative, who was, he
knew, subservient tool and 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?"
II suppose l can't deny that" he re-
Piled
The secretary smiled again.
"Ill 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. i reckon don't have to match"
The secretary opened the note to
read:
where in thunder does that n.y.
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
am, right away. Say It's an urgent
message and get in with a tip"
The secretary looked up, with a
laugh.

but she could not marry a penniless

Carolina played coquettishly with
the secretary.

into his eyes.

"Who knows, Mr.. Haines? There's
no reward guaranteed. There may be
others trying" she answered.
Haines laughed-the strong, hopeful,
lighting laugh Of the man who would
combat the boss of the senate on
ground of the boss own choosing.
"All right" he cried. IF it's an open
fight I'll enlist. I'll give them all Q

Carolina appeared Indifferent.

That might bring power and fame-a

Carolina shrugged her shoulders.

be the best for him. You believe in

Haines hesitated. then answered:
"well, between the two sites merely
as sites Altacoola seems to me rather
better"
Miss Langdon held out her hand I'm
pulsively.
''Then it will be Altacoolav' she cried.
THANK you, Mr.. Haines. We are part
ners, then, for Altacoola."
The young man grasped her hand
earnestly.
I'D like to be your partner for good,
Carolina" he cried.
They stood there close together, hold
ing each others hands, looking into
each others eyes, when the door open
ed and in came Charles Norton.
