Toe friendship between Senator-liar
bine and cld Newt Stuart was for tweii
ty years one of the many
and one of the few edifying conditions
that distinguished the social life of the
capital. 'Newton Stuart was a news
paper correspondent—nobody knew how
old, but the dean of the press gallery,
beloved and undisputed. Senator Ilar¬
bine held a similar position in that ex
elusive, clublike organization known as
the United States senate. Old Newt
hailed from nud bis senatori¬

Ilarbine came ffom Cincinnati an

there on a wild debauch that threat
ened to end disastrously for the young
man himself and for the fair name of
tils father’s family.)
Senator HprbineA'indrd the letter to

"Newt, you like my boy. I know,” he
growled. “He thinks more o’ you than
be does o’ his own father. If you’ll mn
down to Cincinnati and stop him. I’ll
give or get you anything In reason.
I’m rich, and I’m strong with the ad
ministration. Honest, now. Newt. 1
know you never cared for money. 3
you have no family, hut if you’il stop
this Cincinnati jag o’ Dick’s I'll give
you a house and lot or-or—anything
you want.”
Newt started for Cincinnati that
night. Nobody ever knew just what he
said or did to Dick Carbine, but in a
week they came back. Newt silent and
satisfied and the senator's soil pale,
repentant and following old Newt
around like a whipped dog. Old Ur,r
bine actually grew younger and gayer
as the days grew into weeks and the
weeks into mouths and hia boy showed
no s! « ns of " relapse.
“ Xi y Jehosaphut. Newt.’” bo swore at
his friend one night. "I'm Mowed if
1 doa’t believe you've cured the wlielp.
Von got to take something just to give
me a chance to show how I appreciate
what you’ve done. Why. mother was
breaking her heart over Dick. I never
showed how his doings hurt me, but
they were just, killing me. You’re
poor, Newt., and you're getting old—
don’t deny it—you’ll have to quit this
blessed newspaper business pretty
soon, and I'll bet yon haven’t saved a
hundred dollars. Come, Newt, be fair
with me. Let me loan you at least a
few thousand? Eh? Or say, better
yet, take that house and lot up in N
street. X don’t want it, and it’ll uet
you two thousand per. What d’you

But Newt would only abuse oM TIar.
bine for his pains and turn the talk
into a string of “joshing. ’ The soak to.
however, was so serious in his deter¬
mination to do something for Newt
that the dispute between them grew
acute and almost bitter. Newt was
getting old. Nobody knew whether lie
had saved anything, but everybody
kneiv that the time for his retirement
was at hand. As months went by and
old Harbine’s solicitude about reward
iug him waxed more earnest and per
sistent poor Newt's powers of resist¬
ance began to wane. The senator saw
it and was glad. The two old friends
became inseparable. Terrapin suppers
and bouts with Innumerable mint
juleps became continuous. Spring was
merging into summer when the old
correspondent yielded finally to the
tempter.
“Senator,” began Newt one night . as
they sat cn the hotel balcony, “I’ve
made up my mind to take that reward
you insist on giving me.
“God bless you. old man,” chuckled
Harbltse, tinkling the ice In his big
glass:
“I’m not going half way about it el
ther,” resumed Stuart, looking up with
aD evident effort to muster his courage.
‘Tin going to hit you hard. I’m"

“I’ni jroing to retire at the end o* tlie

going to work any more. I"—
“Bully boy! Go ahead!” laughed Har
