CALEB CONOVER Railroader

By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE

CHAPTER XVIII. Caleb Conover Fights. U J ” INDER way at last was the real campaign and the MountainState thrilled as never beiffirSafore in the history of politics. At a composite convention made up of the Republican and lesser parties of the State, and held almost directly after that of the Democrats, faction lines were cast aside and Clive Standish nominated by acclamation. Ansel had presided, and scores of bolting Democrats were in attendance. Then, in Granite and through the State, Clive began what is still recalled as his "whirlwind campaign.” Often ten speeches a day were delivered as he hurried from point to point. The reports of his meetings were sown broadpast, as was other legitimate campaign literature. Because of the daring and extraordinary course he had taken, as well as for the sane, practical reforms he advocated, he was everywhere listened to with growing Interest. The Mountain State was at last awake —awake and hearkening eagerly to the voice of the man who had roused it from its Rip Van Winkle slumbers. Horrified, wholly aghast, the Conover lieutenants had heard their master’s decree that the press gag was to be removed, and other customary tactics of the sort abandoned. None dared to. protest And, after the first shock, the majority, in their sublime Mith, read in the mandate some mysterious new maneuvre of the Railroader’s which time would triumphantly Justify. His fingers ever on the pnlse of

New Jersey’s senate adopted Monday night a join resolution ratifying the proposed amendment to the federal constitution for the election of United States senators by popular vote.

The University of Michigan has authorized tiie cstablslhment of a course in automobile engineering and designing. It is the first course of the kind offered in any university in the United States. Charles K. Klee, age 47, formerly a business man at Evansville, has returned from Spokane, Wash. He found that his family had disbanded and disappeared. Klee, seven years ago, left a wife and four children at Evansville. He told no one where he was going and never wrote to his family. Alter having deliberated since 10 o’clock Thursday night the jury in the case of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, on trial for the murder of Colonel T. H. Swope, millionaire Kansas City philanthropist, reported at 12:35 p. m. Monday a disagreement and was discharged.

the State, Caleb noted with annoyance, then with something akin to dread, the swelling onrush of Clive’s popularity., To offset It the Railroader threw himself bodily Into the fight, personally directing and executing where of old he had only transmitted orders; toiling like any ward politician; devising each day new and brilliant tactics for use against the enemy. He stock to the letter of his pledge to Anlce. Its spirit he had never regarded. Little as he spared himself, Caleb spared his henchmen still less. With deadly literalness he saw to the earlying out of his earlier order that everyone, from Congressman to bootblack, must put his shoulder to the wheel. The ward heelers, the privDeged lieutenants, the rural agents and the high officials in the Machine, alike, were driven as never before. No stone was left unturned, no chance ignored. Nor was this all. Forth went the call to all the hundreds, rich and poor, whom Conover at various times had privately aided. The capitalist whose doubtful bill he had shoved through the Assembly; the coal-heaver whose wife’s funeral expenses he had paid; the Italian peddler whose family he had saved from eviction; the countless poor whom his secretly-donated coal, clothes and food had tided over hard winters; the struggling farmer whose mortgage he had paid; the bartender he had saved from a murderer’s fate; all these beneficiaries and more were commanded, in this hour of stress, to remember the Bom’s generosity, and to pay the debt by working for his election.

Checks of vast proportions (drawn ostensibly for railroad expenses) were cashed by Shevlin, Bourke and the rest, and the proceeds hurled into every crevice or vulnerable spot in the voting phalanx. The pick of the Atlantic seaboard’s orators were summoned at their awn price, and commissioned to sway the people to the Machine cause.

On waged the fight Disinterested outsiders beyond the scope of the Machine’s attractions were, dally drawn, by hundreds, into the Standish camp. In the country districts his strength grew steadily and rapidly. The people at large were aroused, not to the usual pitch of illogical hysteria Incident on a movement of this sort, but to a oahg, resolute jealousy of their own public rights. 'Which latter state every politician knows to be immeasurably the more dangerous of the two.

Conover’s efforts, on the other hand, were already bearing fruit. His tireless energy, backed by his genius and the perfection of his system, were hourly enlarging his following. The “railroad wards” and slums of Granite and of other towns were with him to a man, prepared on Election Day to hurt mighty cohorts lot the Unwashed to the polls in their idol’s behalf. Loyalty, self-interest, party allegiance, and more material forms Of pressures were binding throngs of others besides these underworld denizens to the Conover standard. Not oven the shrewdest non-partisan dared forecast the result of the contest ‘

It was on the eve of election. The campaign work was dona One way or another, the story was now told. The last instructions for the next day’s duties had been given. Conover, returning home from his headquarters, felt as though the weight of weeks had roiled off his shoulders. Now that he had done all mortal man could, ho was not, like a weaker soul, troubled about the morrow. That could take care of itself. His worrying or not worrying could not affect the result Hence, he did not worry.

As he turned into Pompton Avenue and started up the long slope crowned by the garish white marble Mausoleum, his step wae as strong and untired m an athlete’s. On his frame of steel and inscrutable face the untold strain of past weeks had left no visible mark.

A few steps in advance of him, and going in the same direction, slouched a lank, enervated figure. The Railroader, by the gleam of a street lamp, recognised Gerald, and moved faster to catch up with him. At such rare intervals as he had time to think of domestic affairs, Caleb was more than a little concerned of late over the behavior of this only eon of his. Since the visit of his wife to Granite, Gerald’s demeanor had undergone a change that had pussled even his father’s acute mind. He had waxed listless, taciturn and unnaturally docile. No command seemed too distasteful for him to execute uncomplainingly. No outbreak of rough sarcasm or wrath from .Caleb could draw from him a retort, nor so much aa a show of interest Conover knew the lad had taken to drjnktng heavily and frequently, but also that Gerald's deepest potations apparently had no other outward effect than to increase hlsi listless apathy. Partly from malice, partly to arouse the youth, Conover had thrown upon him many details of campaign work. To the older man’s wonderment Gerald had accomplished every task with a quiet, wholly uninterested competence that was so unlike his old self as to seem the labor of another man. More and more, since Anics’s departure, Conover had come to lean on Gerald’s help. And now it no longer astonished him to find such help cao ably given. Tot the father was not wOteS-*

"It ain’t natural,” he said to hkn self, as ho now overhauled his son. "Ain’t like Jerry. Something’s the matter with him. He's getting to be some use In the world. But he’ll go crasy, too, If ho keeps up those moony ways of his. He needs a shaking up."

He instituted the shaking-up process in literal term by a resounding

•lap between Gerald’s narrow shoulders. Buteveh - this most 'maddening of all possible salutations evoked nothing bnt a listless “Hello, tether,” from its victim. ■/ “Start Weaver off for Grafton!" ffoeried Caleb, telling into step with Ms son. :•*- - “Yes.” .... “Make out any of that padrone list I told you to frame up for me?” *Tve just finished it Here it is." “Why, for a chap like you that list's a day's work by itself! Good boy!” No reply. Caleb glanced obliquely at the taciturn lad. The sallow, lean face, with its dark-hollowed eytto, was expressionless, dull, apathetic.

“Sayt” demanded Conover, “what*» the matter with you anyhow?” “Say!” demanded Conover, "what’s the matter with you, anyhow?" "Nothing.” “Alh’t sick, or anything?” “No.” “Still grouching over that girl?" “My wife? Yes.”

"Ain’t got over it yet? I’ve told you you're well out of It. If she’d eared anything for you she’d never have settled with my New York lawyer for $60,000 and withdrawn that fool alienation suit she was starting against me, or signed that general release. You’re well out of It. I’ll send you up to South Dakota after the campaign’s all over and let you get a divorce on the quiet. No one around here’ll ever know you was married, and in the long run the experience won’t hurt you. You’ve acted pretty decent lately, Jerry, and Tm not half sorry I changed my mind on that *heavy-father* stunt and didn’t kick you out After all, one marriage more or less is more of an accident than a failing, so long as folks don’t let It get to be a habit. You acted like an idiot But bygones are bygones, so cut oyt the sulks. Cheap chorus girls weren't made for grown mdh to marry.”

"I’ll thank you to say nothing against her,” intervened Gerald stiffly, with the first faint show of interest his father had observed in him for weeks. "Just as you like," assented Caleb, in high, good humor, glad to have broken even so slightly into the others armor of apathy. “In her case, maybe, least said the better. So you’re still homesicking for her—and for New York, eh?” “Yes.” “Still feel your own city ain’t good enough for you?” “What place Is for a man who has lived in New York?” “Rot! ‘What place is?’ About ten thousand places! And some seventy million Americans living in those places are as good and as happy and stand pretty near as good a chance of the pearly gates as If they had the heaven-sent blessing of living between the North and Hast rivers.” “Yes?” t '

There was no Interest and only absentminded query in Gerald’s monosyllable. Listlessness had again settled over him. Word and mental attitude jarred on the Railroader. “New York!" reiterated Conover. “I’ve took some slight pains to learn a few things about that place these last couple of months. Before that I took your word for It that it was a hectic, electrlc-llt whirlpool where nothing ever was quiet or and where a young cub who could get arrested for smashing up a hotel lobby was looked up to as a pillar of gilded society. Since then I’ve bothered to find out on my own account. New York’s a city with about two millions of people living on Manhatthn Island alone. We out-of-town jays are told these two millions are a gay, abandoned, fashionable lot that spend their days In the congenial stunt of piling up fortunes and their nlgbts In every sort of high jinks that can cost money and keep ’em up dll dawn. ‘All-night fun, all-day fortune-grabbing. Great place! Come see it!’ Well, I have seen IL Along around five or six p. m. about ninety eight per cent, of those two million people stop work. They’ve been fortune-grabbing all right, since early morning. Only, they’ve been grabbing it usually for some one else. They pile onto the subway or the elevated or the big bridge and —and where do they go? To a merry old all-night revel on the Great White Way? Tp an orgy of 'On-wfth-the-dance. let-joybe-un refined,’ hey? Not them. It’s home they go, quiet and without exhibiting to the neighbors any season passes for allnight dissipation. They are as respectable, decent, orderly, early-to-bed a crowd as If they lived on a farm. Taln’t their fault if home's’ usually built on the foldiqf-bed plan and more

condensed than a can of patent milk. Apart from that, they live just as everybody else in this country lives—no better, no worse, no gayer, no quieter. There's not a penny’s difference between that decent ninety-eight per cent, and the business and working folks'right here in Granite.” Gerald did not answer. He had not heard. “That’s the ’typical New-Yorker,”’ went on Caleb. “The ‘typical New Yorker’—ninety-eight per cent, of him —is the typical every-day man or woman of any city. He does his work, supports his family, and goes to bed before eleven. Those are the folks I guess you didn’t see much of when you was there.’ Nor of the real society push or even the climbers. The society headliners are tbo few anyhow to count in the general percentage. Besides, they’re out of town half the year. You was mostly engaged in playing ‘Easy Mark' for the other two per cent. The crowd you went with is the sort that callsthemselves ‘typical New Yorkers,’ and stays out all night ’cause they haven’t the brains to find any other place to go. Just a dirty little fringe of humanity, hanging about all-night restaurants or drinking adulterated booze in some thirst emporium, or spending some one else’s money i,n a green-table joint. They yawn and look sick of life, and they tell everyone who’ll listen that they’re ‘typical New Yorkers.’” .

A polite smile from the dry lips, which Gerald of late was forever poistening, was the only reply to thia harangue. Caleb gave up trying to draw the youth into an argument, and adopted a more business-like tone.

“I- want you should run down to Ballston for me soon’s you’ve voted to-morrow, Jerry. Better the 7.15 train. I .want you to go to the office of the Ballston Herald, and give a note from me to Bruce Lanier, one of the editors. He’ll hand j you a package. Nothing that amounts to iquch, but I’ve paid a big price for It, so I don’t want It lost. Take good care of It, and bring it back on the two o’clock train. Get all the sleep you can to-night. You’re liable to have a wakeful day.” “All right.”

“The package Lanier’s to give you is just a bunch of letters about a railroad deal. Nothing you’d understand. They're to be ready for me any time after, to-morrow.” “I thought you wanted me to work at the polls for you.” "Anybody that knows how to He can work at the polls. There’s nobody but ybu I can send for those letters. All the other men I can trust can’t be spared to-morrow. Be ready for the 7.15 to-morrow morning,” he ordered as they mounted the broad marble steps of the Mausoleum. “Turn in early and get a good rest. Lord! I hope this drizzle will turn Into rain before morning. Nothing like a rainy election day to drown, reform. The honest heeler would turn out in a blizzard to earn his two dollars by voting, but a sprinkle will scare a SUk Seeker from the polls easier'n

A LINCOLN FETE.

How to Celebrate the Birthday of the Famous Emancipator.

February is certainly the gala month of the year for special days. Now Cupid is busy sharpening his arrows for conquests on Jit. Valentine’s day. and school children are experiencing thrills Of patriotism as the stories of Lincoln are retold. Bls birthday on Feb. 12 will be celebrated with reverence and honor not only in schools, but in private homes.

For Uncoin’s birthday this year a clever hostess has planned what she calls a patriotic luncheon. The dining room is to be decorated with flags, the centerpiece being a representation of a southern scene, with a realistic log cabin and darky dolls dressed in blue gingham pinafores. A saucy little mule draws a cart loaded with bales of cotton. Over the table there is to be a fern ball in which small silk flags will be thrust, to be taken out by the guests for their hair. The place cards are to be ornamented with a picture of Lincoln having the United States shield beneath it. At either end of the table there will be large bows o? red. white and blue. The menu is unique. First comes cream of corn soup with bread sticks tied with tricolored ribbon. Tiny stars cut from cold boiled beets will be on top of the whipped cream which tops the soup. Next there will be breasts of chicken with cannon ball potatoes cut with a small round cutter that is obtainable at any kitchen furnishing department. Red and white radishes and green peas are the vegetables. Then a patriotic salad follows, made of tomatoes on white lettuce hearts, with mayonnaise served on blue plates. The dessert will be ice cream forts, made by taking cones of vanilla cream, placing candled cherries on them, like gun sights, capping all with ,a flag. The cake will be cut and iced to look like American flags, blue candles being used for the stars. Drum shaped boxes will hold nuts and bonbons.

Cards will furnish the pastime after luncheon, the score cards being ornamented with patriotic symbols. For prises the hostess is going to use some of the recent books upon the great emancipator, of which there are many adaptable for gifts. _

Frank Johnson Good now. of Washington, D. C., has been ap pointed chief adviser to the Chinese government in the reform of the constitution. Mr. Goodnow is professor of constitutional law at Columbia university.
