who had not known the colonel in the
old days.
For month the colonel did not go
out of the hotel. He was up early
and at work, his cigar in his mouth,
debating letters, sending kilograms,
receiving callers. When he slept, no
one knew. He never had his hat off.
He ate his meals from a tray in his
room, after the food had grown cold.
His headquarters recalled pathetically
the old days when his power and SUI
premacy were unquestioned They
were crowded day and night with the
| back-numbers and the soreheads
Baldwin had talked about, who came
with their grievances, their impossi,
BILE schemes, their paltry ambitions.
OF such stuff the colonel had to make
his machine.
The night before the primaries a
crowd, foul with the reek of tobacco,
alcohol and perspiration, was shut
of the colonel's headquarters. The
crowd was noisy, profane and conf
dent. But inside, the steering COM
mittee was assembled and it was
very sober. Garwood, at the Uttered
table, had been scratching his head
over political equations.
Conventions had been held il all
the thirty-six outside districts, and
sixty-nine candidates had been nomi-
mated, fifty-five representatives and
fourteen senator's Of these they

The colonel, for some reason, pre-
ferred not to get up the next morn

pers, ate his breakfast, and finally
held his morning levee, the last of

hour, grumbled at such Incidence,

to their leaders presence, suspected
him of initiating the undemocratic

ceived their final distractions and
scattered to the conventions, and
when Mosely and Garwood sauntered
in from the breakfast-room, they found

on in the hope of beer money, at
least, for their imaginary services on

black garments and white cravat,

the sound of whose young step and
fresh laugh the colonel succeeded in

reassuringly, seeing Carroll halt in

elbow, and as he raised his head, it's
white hair all tangled, Carroll saw
how haggard he was. He never had
seen him look so old, SO white, so
worn, before.
