CHAPTER XXIIITHE DOSS OK THE SENATE GAINS A-

NEW ALLYRS SPA GLER would bare

flattered herself on guessingN correctly as to Senator Penbodys uneasiness had she

heard Und seen all that had takenplace in his apartment at the LouisNapoleon hotel where ho had hurried ¬

ly taken Senator Stevens on leavingthe Lnngdon house

Not only would the two senatorslose their Immense profits on the Attncoola transaction If Langdon persistedIn his opposition but they would loseas well the thousands of dollars spentby their agents In purchasing optionson hundreds of acres and where theycould not get options the land itselfThis land would be on their hands un ¬

salable If the base went somewhereelse Moreover they feared that Langdons revolt would bring unpleasantnewspaper publicity to their opera ¬

tonsTheres only one course to pursue

Stevens snapped Peabody as theytoolc off their overcoats That is tobe prepared as best we can for thevery worst and meet it in some wayyet to be determined But first wemust try to figure out what Lan don r

Is going to dowhat it can bethat he says hewill tell us to ¬
