CHAPTER XII. Caleb Conover Listens and Answers. began Conover, breakIVV I in * the short pause, “what mSfiO do you want?” iSMtHI “I want to speak to you—alone,” answered Standish. ' “Come up to my study. Gaines,/tell the groom to keep Dunderberg moving. I’ll be down in ten minutes.” ’’ In Bilence the Railroader led tUie way upstairs. He passed into the study, leaving Clive to follow. Nor, as he seated himself in his big . chair, did he request his visitor to sit down. Ignoring’these slights, Clive took up his stand on the opposite side of the desk. “Now, then,” said Caleb, “get through your business as quick as you can. What do you want?” “To speak to you in reference to this campaign.” “Had enough, eh?” "Altogether too much of the sdrt you’ve inflicted on me.” “Good! Tou’ve got more sense than I thought There’s two kinds of fools: the kind that put their heads in a hornet’s nest once and then have wfiough admit they’ve been etnng, and tbOdnd that keeps their to see the eadt-sjgps or too pig-headed to ■ confess that ; horpet-stings ain’t the most diverting form of sassage. I’m glad to see you belong to the first class. I’d placed you in the second.” “But I—” “But you want to get out of this p’ticular hornets nest, I s’pose,-with-out giving too life-like an Imitation of a man shinning down from a tree, eh? Well, I guess that can be fixed. Sit down. We’ll —” “You’re mistaken!” brokeJn Standish, resenting the more civH tone of his host as he had not resented his former rudeness, “I’m in this fight to stay. I—” , “Want your cash losses made good? If you—” “Mr. Conover," said Clive calmly, though the knuckles that gripped the table-edge were white with pressure, “when your lackey, Shevlin, made that same proposition to me, he thought he was making a perfectly straight offer. And, Judging by the standards you’ve taught him, I suppose the sugestion was almost holy

compared with the majority of bis tactics. So I didn’t thrash him. He knew no better; for (he same reason I don’t thrash you.” ' “That and maybe a few others,” laughed Conover, in no Wise offended. "I climbed up from yard-boy to railroad president by frequently jamming my fists in where they’d do the most good. I guess you’d have a faint s’spiclon you’d been in a fight before you was through. But I presume you didn’t come here to-night to give an encore performance of your grandstand play at Grafton. It seems I started on the wrong idea just now. You don’t want to drop out gracefully or to sell out, and you prefer the soothing attentions of the hornets to —” “Yes, if you put It that , way, Mr. Conover —’’ "Hold on a second.” The Railroader crossed to n screen at the farther end sos the room. Thrusting it aside he said to a stenographer who , sat behind ft. pencil and pad in hand: “Wd 'fron’t need you any longer. This ain’t going to he that kind of interview after all. You can go now. Just a little precaution of mine,” he added to Clive as he returned to the table. “Now you can go on talking.” “You were setting a spy to take down What I said?” gasped Clive, incredulous. “No. A stenographer to report'our little chat. We were a bit short on campaign litterchoor. But I see It yon’t be needed now. Go ahead.” ’Tve just returped from a tour ot the State,” commenced Standish, once more forcing himself to keep down his temper Conover drew a typewritten bundle from a drawer. “If you were counting on telling me all about it," he observed, "I can save you the trouble. Here’s the Whole count.” “Does your ’account’ include (he recital* of a mob Incited to smash furniture, insult women and attempt murder? Or of suborned town ofllcials, bought policemen and muzzled editors? If not, It Is incomplete. I went on that tour prepared to meet pi] legitimate obstacles. , 1 mpfe only fraud, violence and the crpat#es oi boss-bought conspiracy. yon; to account for that.and watt how far it was done by your sanction that I have cbme to 'see you. Also to ask if you intend to give me fair Play in future.." “Fair play?” echoed Conover, in genuine bewilderment. “Son, tbis is politics, not ping pong." , “Everyone in God’s world Is entitled to fair play. And I’m here to demand it.” “ ‘God’s’ world, eh? My friend, when you’ve traveled about it as long as I have, you’ll find out that the original owner sublet the premises long ago,” “It looks so, in the Mountain State, I agree. But I’m trying to act as local dispossess agent for the present tenAll men are born equal, and some of us are being tired of being owned by a political boss. We—'”

"You’re a terribly original feller, Standish!”

"You’re a terribly orignal feller, Standish! That remark, now, about all men being ‘born equal.’ It was made In the first place, wasn’t it, by a white-wlgged, short-panted hero who owned more slaves than he could count? 'Born equal!’ Maybe all men are. But by the time they’re out of swaddling-clothes they’ve got bravely over it That old Jefferson proverb’s responsible for more anarchy and scraps, strikes and grumbling and hard-luck stories than all the whole measly dictionary put together. Get down to business, man. This ain’t a p’lltical rally. ' Cut out the fine talk, can’t you? My horse 1b waiting.’’ ’Tve told you already what I wish. I want to know If you will fight like a man for the rest of thfc campaign, and If the outrages I encountered on my tour vVere by your order?" "That won’t take an awful lot of eloquence to answer. What was done to you up-Btate was planned out by me, and it isn’t deuce-high to what’ll drop on you If you’re still alive when' the State Convention—” "You cur!" "Meaning me?" queried Caleb blandly. "You cur!" repeated Clive, his last remaining shreds of temper thrown to the winds. "I was told I’d meet this sort of reception, but I couldn’t be lle've there was a man alive who had the crass effrontery to conform he w'u H a wholesale crook, and that he wus going to continue one. You’ve saurn-d the Integrity, the honesty, tte free'

dom of this city and State. You’ve made us a byword for every (immunity in America, You’ve trailed your Iniquitous railroad across the State, crushing every smaller and' more honest line, until you am czar of all our traffic. You rob the people by sending- to Legislature your own henchmen, who help yon steal franchises, and who cat down your taxes and throw the burden of assessment on the very class of people you have already dmZ frauded to the top erf your bent. Corruption of the foulest sort has been smeared by you all over the face of this commonwealth, till the people are stricken helpless and speechless under it. Who can help them? Are there ten lawyers in this State who don’t wear your collar, and whose annual passes from your road aren’t granted them on, the written understanding that such courtesies are really Jretaluere'? Then, when L try help the people you have ground to the dirt—when I try.to wipe the filthy stain from the Mountain State’s shield —even then you will not fight me fair, as man to man. You stab in the back, like any other common felon, and you feel so secure In your own stolen position, that you actually boast of It, and propose to continue your damnable knifing tactics. Why, Caleb Conover, you don’t even know how vile a thing you are!” He paused, breathless, still furious. The Railroader was leaning back in his big chair eyeing the angry man with genuine amusement. —— "You’ve got the hang of it!” mnrmured Caleb, half to himself. “The regular Reformer shout I wouldn’t have thought It of you. Honestly, son, it’s hard to take you refonfaera serious. You’re all so dead sure you’re saying what’s never been said before, and that you’re discovering what no one else ever dreamed of. Now don’t get red and try to think up new platitudes, to heller at me. I’ve listened pretty patient but I think it’s my turn to do a little shouting, too. I’ve heard you out Now, maybe it’ll do you no harm to make the same re-turn-play to me. Sit down. I'll .answer you as best I can, and then maybe in future us two’ll understand each other "the better.” Sf S * (To Be Continued.) .

Rensselaer People Have Good Reason for Complete Reliance. Do you know how— To find relief from backache; To correct distressing urinary ills; To assist weak kidneys? Your neighbors know the way— Have dsed Doan’s Kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Here’s Rensselaer testimony. Mrs. Henry Randle, Forest St, Rensselaer, Ind., says; “I have not the least hesitation in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills, as I know them to be a reliable remedy for kidney complaint. Last July I had a severe attack of backache, accompanied by pains through my loins. It wad all I could do to attend to iny work. When I was ’suffering the worst, one of my neighbors advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, in fact, gave me a few that she had in the house. I took them and was so pleased with the results that I procured another supply at Larsh’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and in a short time I was free from pain. I think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney Pills and highly recommend them.” For sale by all dealers. Price cetits.
