feeling strike deeper root than In Loder. Imbued with a lifelong Interest In the eastern question, specially equipped by f personal knowledge to hold and proclaim an opinion upon Persian affairs, he read the signs and portents with Instinctive insight. Seated at Chilcote's table, surrounded by Cbilcote's letters and papers, he forgot the breakfast that was slowly growing cold, forgot the interests and dangers, personal or pleasurable, of the night before, while bis mental eyes persistently conjured up the map of Persia, traveling with fcteady deliberation from Merv to Meshed, from Meshed to Herat, from Herat to the empire of India! For it was not the fact that the Ilazaras had rlsea against the shah that occupied the thinking mind, nor was It the fact that Russian and not Persian troops were destined to subdue them, but the deeply Important consideration that an armed Russian force had crossed the frontier and was encamped within twenty miles of Meshed Meshed, upon which covetous Russian eyes have rested ever since the days of Peter the Great. So Loder'a thoughts ran as he read and reread the news from the varying political standpoints, and so they con tinued to run when, some hours later. an urgent .telephone message from the St. George's Gazette asked him to call at Lakeley's office. The message was Interesting as well ns Imperative, and be made an instant response. The thought of ' Lakeley's keen eyes and shrewd enthusiasms al ways possessed strong attractions for bis own slower temperament, but even had this impetus been lacking, the knowledge that at the St. George's of fices. If anywhere, the true feelings of the party were invariably voiced would have drawn him without hesitation. It was scarcely 12 o'clock when he turned the corner of the tall building, but already the keen spirit that Lakeley everywhere diffused was making itself felt. Loder smiled to himself as his eyes fell on the day's placards with their uncompromising headings and passed onward from the string of gayly painted carts drawn up to receive their first consignment of the paper to the troop of eager newsboys passing In and out of the big swing doors with their piled up bundles of the early edition, and with a renewed thrill of anticipation and- energy he passed through the doorway and ran upstairs. Passing unchallenged through the long corridor that led to Lakeley's office, he caught a fresh impression of action and vitality from the click of the tape machines In the subeditor's office, and a glimpse through the open door of the subeditors themselves, each occupied with his particular task; then without time for further observation he found himself at Lakeley's door. "Without waiting to knock, as he had felt compelled to do on the one or two previous occasions that business had brought him there, he Immediately turned the handle and entered the room. Editors officers differ but little in general effect. Lakeley's surroundings were rather more elaborate than is usual, as became the dignity of the oldest Tory evening paper, but the atmosphere was unmistakable. As Loder entered he glanced up from the desk at which he was sitting, but Instantly returned to his task of looking through and making a pile of early evening editions that were soread around him.

His coat was off and bung on the chair behind him, and he pulled vigorously on a long cigar. "Hello! That's' right," be said laconically. "Make yourself comfortable half a second, while I skim the St. Stephen's." His salutation pleased Loder. With a nod of acquiescence he crossed the office to the brisk fire that burned In the grate. For a minute or two Lakeley worked steadily, occasionally breaking the quiet by an unintelligible remark or a vigorous stroke of his pencil. At last he dropped the paper with a gesture of satisfaction and leaned back In his chair. "Well," he said, "what d'you think

of this? How's this for a complication?" Loder turned round. "I think," he said quietly, "that we can't overestimate it" Lakeley laughed and took a long pull at his cigar. "And we mustn't be afraid to let the Sefborough crowd know it, eh?" He waved bis hand to the poster of the first edition that hung before his desk. ' Loder, following his glance, smiled. Lakeley laughed again. "They might have known it all along if they'd cared to deduce," he said. "Did they really believe that Russia was going to sit calmly looking across the Heri-Rud while the shah played at mobilizing? But what became of you -last night? We had a regular prophesying of the whole business at Bramfell'sj the great Fraide looked in for five minutes. I went ou with him to the club after ward and was there when the news came In. 'Twas a great night!" Loder's face lighted up. "I can Imagine it," he said, with an unusual touch of warmth.Lakeley watched him intently for a moment. Then with a quick action he leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk. "It's going to be something more than Imagination for you, Chilcote," he said Impressively. "It's going t be solid earnest!" He spoke rapidly and with rather more than his usual shrewd decisiveness; then he paused to see the effect of his announcement. Loder was still studying the flaring poster. At the other's words he turned sharply. Something in Lakeley's voice, something in bis manner, arrested him. A tinge of color crossed his face. 'Reality?" he said. "What do you mean?" For a further space his companion watched him, then with a rapid movement he tilted back his chair. "Yes," he said. "Yes; old Fraide's instincts are never far out. He's quite right You're the man!" Still quietly, but with a strange un derglow of excitement, Loder left the fire and, coming forward, took a chair at Lakeley's desk. "Do you mind telling me what you're driving at?" he asked In his old, la conic voice. . Lakeley still scrutinized him with an air of brisk satisfaction; then with gesture of finality he tossed his cigar away. "My dear chap." he said, "there's go ing to be a breach somewhere and Fraide says you're the man to step In and fill it! You see, five years ago, when things looked lively on the gulf and the Bundar Abbas business came to light, you did some promising work. and a reputation like that sticks to man even when he turns slacker!,-! won't deny that you've slacked abomi nably," he added as Loder made an uneasy movement, "but slacking has dif ferent effects. Some men run to seed, others mature. I had almost pat you down on the black list, but I've altered my mind in the last two months." -' Again Loder stirred In his seat. A host of emotions were stirring in his mind. Every word wrung from Lakeley was another stimulus to pride, another subtle tribute to the curious force of personality. "Well?" he said. "Well?" , Lakeley smiled. "We all know that Sefborough' ministry is well, topheavy," he said. "Sefborough Is building his card house just a story too high. It's a toss up what'll upset the balance. It might be the army, of course, or it might be education, but it might quite as well be a matter of foreign policy!" They 'looked at each other in compre hensive silence. "You know as well as I that It's not the question of whether Rnssia comes into Persia, but the question of whetherRussia goes out of Pewia when these Ilazaras are subdued! I'll lay you what you like, Chilcote, that within one week we hear that the risings are suppress ed, but that Russia, instead of retiring, has advanced those tempting twenty miles and comfortably ensconced her self at Meshed as she ensconced her self on the island of Ashurada." Lakeley's nervous, energetic figure was braced, his light blue eyes brightened by the Intensity of his interest. "If this news cemes before the Easter recess," he went on, "the first nail can be hammered in on the motion for adjournment. , And if the right man does It In the right way 111 lay my life 'twill be a nail In Sefborough's coffin." Loder sat very still. Overwhelming possibilities had suddenly opened before him, In a moment the unreality of the past months had become real; a tangible Justification of himself and his imposture was suddenly made possible. In the stress of understanding he, too, leaned forward, and, resting his elbows on the desk, took his face between his hands. For a space Lakeley made no remark. To him man and man's moods came second In interest to his paper and his party politics. That Chilcote should be conscious of the glories be had opened up seemed only natural; that he should show that consciousness In a becoming trravltc seemed only right. For some

Never before have we shown week. $4.50 and every seconds he made no attempt to aistnro him, but at last his own irrepressible activity made silence unendurable. He caught up his pencil and tapped im patiently on the desk. "Chilcote," he said quickly and with a gleam of sudden anxiety, "you're not by any chance doubtful of yourself?" At sound of his voice Loder lifted his face. It was quite pale again, but the enerrr and resolution that had come into it when Lakeley first spoke were still to be seen. "No, Lakeley," he said very slowly, "It's not the sort of moment In which a man doubts himself." CHAPTER XIX. NTJ so It came to pass that Loder was freed from one responsl billty to undertake another. From the morning of March 27, when Lakeley had expounded the politl cal programme in the offices of the St. George's Gazette, to the afternoon of April I he found himself a central fig' ure In the whirlpool of activity that formed Itself in Conservative circles. With the acumen for which he was noted, Lakeley had touched the keystone of the situation on that morning, and succeeding events, each fraught with it own importance, had established the precision of his forecast. Minutely watchful of Russia's atti tude, Fraide quietly organized his forces and strengthened his position with a statesmanlike grasp of opportunity, and to Loder the attributes displayed by his leader during those trying days formed an endless and absorbing study. Setting the thought ol Chilcote aside, ignoring bis own posi tion and the risks he dally ran, he had fully yielded to the glamour of the moment and in the first freedom of s loose rein he had given unreservedlj all that he possessed of activity, capacity and determination to the cause thai bad claimed him. Singularly privileged in a constanl personal contact with Fraide, be learned many valuable lessons of tact and organisation in those five vital dayi during which the tactics of a whol party hung upon one item of news from a country thousands of miles away. For should Russia subdue the insurgent Hazaras and, laden with the honors of the peacemaker; ' retire across the frontier, then the : political arena would remain undisturbed; but should the all important movement predicted by Lakeley become an accepted fact before parliament rose for the Caster re cess, then the first blow in the fight that would rage during the succeeding session must inevitably be struck. In the meantime it was Fraide's difficult position to wait and watch, and yet preserve his dignity. (To Be Continued.) Fairbanks and Griffiths speak at the Coliseum Wednesday night, Oct. 31.

TRACTION MUDDLE GOES IIITO COURT Freeze Out Game is Alleged by Stockholders in Company at Chicago. SOME OTHER ALLEGATION BULK OF STOCK HELD BY NEW YORK MEN AND IT IS CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DISLODGE CHICAGO MEN. Chicago, Oct. 29. Cyrus H. McCormick and a number of other holders of stock in the North . Chicago City Railway company and the Chicago West Division Railway company have filed motions for permission to file petitions in the United States circuit court allowing them to intervene in the proposed settlement of the traction problem in this city. The two street car companies mentioned form the basis of the Chicago Union Traction company, which operates the street cars on the north and west sides of the city. The bulk of the stock of this company is owned in New York and it is claimed by the Chicago holders that the New York owners are trying to "freeze out", all of the local interests. One petition is filed by Cyrus H. McCormick and John F, Bass, representatives of the stockholders of the Chicago City Railway company, and the other is by John F. Bass, Nettie F. McCormick and the other stockholders of the di vision company. Tha petitions, after citing the steps by which the Union Traction company became the owner of the two street car companies and of the later ap pointment of a receiver for all of them for all creditors bills, argues as follows: "Although said bills were filed os tensibly as creditors bills, no attempt has been made in three and one-half years to realise on the assets of the defendant companies. Your petitioners believe that there was, and is, a fund readily available for the payment of all debts of the Chicago Union Traction company in the shape of a stockholders' liability, amounting to $20,000,000." The petition further alleges: "The lessees and assignees of the leases, have neglected their duty. They have allowd the lines of railway to deteriorate. They have given the public bad service. In their negotiations with the city council of Chicago they have so conducted themselves as to incur the ill will of the representatives of the city government and of tne general public; Instead of entering into operating' agreements with the city on fair terms te the city, they have endeavored to coerce the city Into granting terms which would yield a return not only on the money actually invested, but also on the fictitious capitalization of the Union Traction compp"" " STC Following the meeting at the Coliseum tomorrow evening. Vice President Fairbanks and Hon. John L. Griffiths will hold a reception at the Westcott Hotel. All are invited.
