in his teeth.
Yes, yes, Ike, know about my plug
hat and all that; and then do you re-
member how l ran for Judge and was
nominated for congress back in ga as
dark horse on the three hundredlk
ballot, and hos was elected and told
the people from the Dox down by the
bonfire in the public square that was
going to be worthy of the honor? Ike,
the tears | shed there was honest tears
for God knows how proud l was. All
these ten years We're before me, and
what great ten years | hoped tley
would be. | thought of my plans as
a boy--you and me on the fence down
in the valley, Ike-aEd l looked over
all the names in congress then-ten
years ago / mean-and they seemed
great names to me. / could hardly
wait to get to Washington to see the
men and to be one Of them. l was
such boy, Ike-ten years ago"
Each man pulled his cigar in a mo-
ments pause. Wharton lighted
fresh one. Russell thought In so many
words: Its one of Toms talkative
nights"
Wharton took uD the thread where
1t had dropped.
Here l am, Ike, hesh-and-blood
statesman. I've been In it and through
it. I've held as high a place in the
organization of the house as any Of
the great men we used to read about.
I've passed a pension bill-and the
old soldiers, for whom l worked night
and day during six months, have
passed resolutions against me. 1 have
had my name on silver bill for which
the fat money fellows have abused
me. I've led my party through two
successful fights. And what is there
in it? You know, as well as I do,
that it is hollOw-all hollow show.
What's the use of it? Why should a
man wear his life out up there in that
city just to keep his name in print?
There was nun named Keifer-an
Ohio man, who was speaker Of the
house once. Who that reads the pa
pers knows anything Of him today7
Yet he worked his life nearly out to
be statesman. Where are the sec
onds in the Blaine-Conkling fight? Ike,
there's nothing in it but ashes.
The politician said nothing; he did
not know how the talk was turning.

campaign"

it's the tariff; sometimes | think it's
silver; and then at other times just
give It all up. What's your idea,

The congressman did not reply at
once: lie seemed to be pulling his ideas
together for q longer speech than usu-
al. He twisted his gray mustache
nervously: he looked asknnce al ms
friend. who was apparently listening
to the music that had just started up
again In the parlor. Wharton went
over TO the garden hose which was
turned upon shrub, changed ITS
course, came back, rclighting his cigar,
and said:

they went away doubling whether they
would support the 'old man. or fight
MIN. The congressman's presence in
the little town was an event. and he
had callers all day long who seemed
to need help in different ways. Sol
diers desired pensions, mothers asked
for positions in Washington for their
sons; young women called to see about
clerkships; widows, whose husbands
he had known, came to borrow money.
He was honestly glad to see all these
people and when he could, he helped
them; he rarely made an enemy, even
though he always was frank.
1t was Saturday evening, and Whar-
ton was just entering ON his second
week at home, he and his friend, Ike"
Russell, were sitting on tile southern
porch Of the congessman's home.

parlor around the piano, and the two
men were at that preliminary stage
of conversation in which ideas are
conveyed by grunts and monosyllables.
what did Hughey of Smith City
want today?" asked Russell.
About two hundred, more or less"
said the congressman.
'Hughey's q thief; he'd spend about
$25, and the rest would go into his
jeans"
II suppose So" Wharton answered.
''Say we lose Smith countyT
"Well, you say" said his friend.
"Did you see Higgins, from Lee val
ley? He told me last month that he
had five fellows who could swing Lee
county for $500 apiece"
UGH" grunted the congressman.
THAT makes $1,000 so far, if l come
down."
swell, that's cheaper than you got
off before-by several hundred"
Wharton yawned, and the silence
that followed was broken only by the
tinkle of the COW bells In the valley
below the town, and the splash of wa
ter over the dam across the river that
RUS around the village. Occasionally
fae sound of voices singing on the wa
ter or the notes of a guitar would come
up on the gusts of wind. The piano
in the parlor was silent, and The moon
was barely visible under the eastern
corner Of the porch. The men had
