Wncii Senator Lang- don comes will you be kind enough to tell ulna I want to interview blm?" Stevens bowed cordially. 'Indeed I Bhall. I'll tell him he's in luck to have the smartest young man In Washington on the Job." "All right." laughed Ilud, "only don't make it no strong that he Won't recog nize me when he sees mo, Good lay." And he hurried away to keep a belated appointment "Clever boy," said Stevens as the ncwHpaper man disappeared. The boBS of the senate agreed. "Yes, only I'm not sure It's a good thing for a newspaper man to bo too clever. Spoils his usefulness. Makes him ask too many confounded ques tions." Stevens acquiesced, for It would never do to disagree with the boss. "It's very kiod of you, senator," he began, changing the subject, "to come with me to welcome the new senator from my state, my old friend and col league." An inscrutable smile a smile, yet a cold one accompanied Teabody's an swer ' "1 hnve always found, Stevens," he said, "that a little attention like this to a new man is never wasted, and I make it a rule not to overlook oppor tunities. Again the senior senator from Mis sissippi acquiesced, and he laughed heartily at Peabody's keen insight into human nature. "I think vou'll like Langdon." Ste vens remarked after a pause, "and you'll find him easy to dual with. Just put up any measure for the benedt of the south and Langdon will go the limit on it Even a Repub lican majority doesn't mind a little Democratic support, you know. I think he's just the twin you can use in this gulf naval base bill." "You can swing hlra?" asked Pea body sharply. Stevens drew closer to Pea-body. "I elected him, and he knows It," he chuckled. The boss nodded. "And it's likely that a man like Langdon, new to politics a simple gentleman of the old school, as you de scribe him might have considerable Influence on opinion throughout the country." . Langdon's colleague grasped the arm of the senatorial dictator. "lie's Just the man we want Rona "Thrn ytu unarnntec hint" snapped the IHUH. flono a big stroke for Altacooia to day." , Even Pcnbody pricked up his cars. "Yes," said both senators together. . With a keen sense of the dramatic,' the congressman let his next words drawl out with full effect, i "I've got Senator Langdon Interested -financially interested," ho suld. Ills two hearers exchanged a signifi cant glance. "How?" asked Teabody sharply. Norton smiled shrewdly. "Well, I jUMt let his son Invest $50. 000 of the senator's money in Alta cooia land. That ought to help some." Btevens stared in amazement at his congressman, bis eyes threatening to bulge out of ills head. "What!" he gasped. "You got Lang don's money In Altacooia, through bis son?" "I sure have, senator," chuckled Nor ton. "He's in to the extent of fifty thousand, and I've promised that the fifty shall make a hundred by spring." "It'll make three hundred thousand at least," snapped Peabody. "Norton, you've done a good day's work. By tbo way, a New York client of mine has a little business that 1 cannot at tend to handily. Doesn't involve much work, and a young, hustling lawyer like you ought to take charge of it easily. The fee, I should say, would be about $10,000. Have you the time to undertake it?" The congressman drew a long breath. His eyes beamed with gratitude. "I should say I have, senator. Of course It won't interfere with any of my duties as a congressman." Peabody smiled. "Of course not Norton. I see that your sense of humor is improving. If convenient, run over to New York the last of the week. I'll give you a card. My client's office Is at 10 Broadway." The ruler of the senate nodded a curt dismissal. "Thank you, senator; thank you very much." And Norton bowed and left rejoicing. Peabody turned to Stevens. you see, even a congressman can be useful sometimes," remarked Ste vens dryly. "Keep your eye on that young man, Stevens. He's the most valuable con gressman we've had from your state In a long while. Does Just what he is told and doesn't ask any fool ques tions. This was good work. Lang don's on the naval committee now sure. Come, Stevens; let's go to somo quiet corner In the smoking room. I want to talk to you about something else the Standard has on hand for you to do." nardly hnd they departed from the lobby when resounding commotion at the entrance, followed by the rushing of porters and bellboys and an expect ant pose on the part of the clerk, Indi cated that the new senator from Mis sissippi had arrived. m FCDBE Will cure any case of Kidney or Bladder Disease not beyond the reach of medicine.

"Then you guarantee hlni?" snapped the boss. "Unreservedly, senator." "All right" said Peabody. "lie goes on the naval committee. That ought to be enough honor for a man who a year ago was growing cotton on an old plantation miles away from civili sation." "We have control now of all the land about Altacooia that can be used," said Stevens. "I have had Norton, the con gressman from Langdon's district working on it. There isn't a foot of land there which we do not now con trol under options, and," he added, with a chuckle, "the options were dirt cheap." Peabody grunted approvingly. "There won't be any New York for tune in it, but it ought to be a pretty tidy bit." he said. "Now, If we could only get Langdon Interested, directly or indirectly, in financial way, that would clinch everything." The senior senator from Mississippi shook his head. "If s too risky.

That's where we get him He owes everything to me, you see, sc naturally he'll do anything I want bin. to. By the way, there's Norton now. Perhaps he can tell us something." "Call him over," said Teabody. , Norton had been strolling about the lobby, hoping to be noticed. The flame bad tnred the moth, and It liked the manner of the singeing. The con gressman hurried precipitately across at Stevens' summons. "I've been wanting to speak to you. gentlemen," said Norton, full of the good trick he had turned, "but I didn't like to Interrupt you. 1 think I've I SEW MtMUIuK. N actor playing the role of a high type of southern planter would score a decided success by pic turing the character exactly after the fashion of Senator William H. Langdon as he strode to the desk of the International hotel. A wide brim med black hat thrust back on his head, a long black perfecto in his mouth, conttalls spreading out behind as he walked, and the "Big Bill" Langdon smile on his face that carried sunshine and good will wherever he went, ho was good to look on, an inspiration, particularly in Washington. Following the senator were Miss Langdon and Hope Georgia, leading a retinue of hotel attendants staggering under a large assortment of iuggago. Both beautiful girls, they caused a sensation all of their own. Carolina, a different type from the younger, had an austere loveliness denoting pride and birth, a brunette of the quality that has contributed so much to the fame of southern women. Hope Geor gia, more girlish and a vivacious blond, was tho especial pet of her father and usually succeeded in doing with him what she chose. A real senator and two such young women handsomely gowned seemed to take the old hotel back a score of years back to the times when such sights were of daily occurrence. The ancient greatness of the now dingy International lived again. "now are you, senator? Glad to welcome you, sir," was the clerk's greeting. The genial senator held out his hand Everybody was his friend. "Glad to meet you, sir; glad to meet you," he exclaimed. "Must make you acquainted with my daughters. This Is Miss Carolina Langdon, this Miss Hope Georgia Langdon." The two girls, with their father's Idea of courtesy, shook hands with the clerk, who was not at all taken aback by the unexpected honor. Hope Georgia was thoroughly de lighted with everything, but Carolina looked at the worn and faded walls and furnishings with evident distaste. "Oh, this Is Washington," murmured nope Georgia ecstatically, clasping her hands and gazing at n vista of arti ficial palms in a corridor." "Ah. this Is Washington,! siched the new senator contentedly as he gazed across a hall at the biggest nnH most gorgeous cijrnr stand he had ever seen or ever hoped to see the 6nty new thing added to the hotel since Grant was president . , : "Truly magnificent establishment you have here," sir; magnificent!" he ex claimed as an imitation marble col umn came within his purview. . "1 re member my friend Senator Moseley speaking to me of It thirty years ago. Are our rooms ready?" The clerk, hugely pleased, hastened to assure him that everything was In first class order, waiting.
