Who was the traitor tSlocum's logic XT send for our accomplice One loofc U enough The poison of envy t see tht last of an old friend Slocum point tht moral What people know Publft opinion Cousin Farson again Wi lunch at a depot restaurant I touch granite. mHE Monday morning after Mr Hardman's outbreak Slocuir was waiting for me at my of flee. In reply to my telegranc he had come back from St. Louis, where he had been attending to som nusiness in connection with Farson's railroad. "They got it pretty straight this time." was all be said as a greeting, with a careworn sort of smile. "Tbey can't prove it! We'll bring suit for libel. I must put myself straight for family reasons." But the lawyer shook his bead doubtfully. "That wouldn't be safe. Van! It's too close a guess. I rather think they've got nil the proof they want" "Where did they get It, then? Not ont of Lokes. He hasn't any reason to squeal. Nor the judge, nor bis brother-in-law!" "Of course not But how about Frost? This Is the way I figure it out: When those rats were euchred in their holdup game by Garretson's dismissing his Injunction, they were mad enough and determined to find out who sold them. It didn't take them long to see that the judge had been fixed In some way. They nosed around and spotted the judge's brother-in-law as the one who made the trade. Then tbey started ont to get proof." "Well?" Slocum looked at me shrewdly. "I have been thinking about that all the way back from St Louis. There is only one man left in the combination." We stared at each other for a minute. "You don't mean him V I gasped. "Who else?" "Not Hostetter not Ed!" "Send for him. and we'll find ont," he answered shortly. I telephoned out to our office in the yards to send Hostetter to the city, and while we waited we discussed the story in -all its bearings. "We've got the trick," Slocum commented In reply to my desire for action. "And Marx, who managed this business for Carmicbael, is shrewd enough to see it They won't bother us." There was some comfort In that reflection. No matter what the scandal might be, we had the London and Chicago properties in our possession, and nothing short of a long fight in court could wrest them from our control. "The only thing to do," the lawyer continued. "Is to keep quiet The papers will bark while the election is on, and tt looks mighty bad for Garretson. But oat here most people forget easily." It was queer to bear old Slocum talking In that cynical tone, as if. having accepted the side that was not to bis taste, he took pleasure in pointing out its safety. "Well" I grumbled, thinking of May and Sarah, "it's mighty uncomfortable to be held up by rats like Lokes, Frost and company and then be branded as a briberr "What do yoo care?" Slocum asked harshly, "it won't hurt yoo much. You'll make money Just the same, and there aren't many who would lay this mi against y oo. Of course then are

But yon don't care for their opinion!" I knew that be was thinking of the honest men in his own profession, the honorable men at the head of the bar, who would mark him henceforth as my hired man. Hostetter arrived soon, a shifty look in his eyes. He had changed a good deal since that time he bad slept out on the lake front He was a heavy man now, with a fleshy face, and his dress showed a queer' love for load finery. He wore a heavy seal ring and a paste diamond in his tie, which was none too clean. His sandy mustache dropped tight over bis month. Yet in spite of his dress and bis jewelry be was plainly enough the countryman still "Ed," I said at once, "have yon been talking to any one about that matter of the bonds the deal srith Lucas Smith r He glanced at Slocum and then at me. One look at his face was enough the story was there. "You low dog!" I broke out. Slocum tried to hush me. Hostetter muttered something about not knowing what we were talking about "You're lying. Ed! Tell me the whole truth. Did yon sell what yoo knew to the Nationalist or to Frost and his crowd?" He became stubborn all at once and refused to answer. I turned to the lawyer: "See that man! I picked him oat of the bankruptcy court two years ago, after giving him his third start in business. Last winter I seat his wife south and kept her there six months so that she could get welL" I turned to Ed. "Whose bread are yon eating now, today?" He picked up his bat and started for the door.

"Tell me, 'Ed." 1 aSivd. "more lQiserable than he. are you going over to Carmicbael to get some more pay for thlsf "Maybe. If I did." he replied sullenly, "it'd be some better than it Is working for you." "I don't think so not long. Folks like you aren't worth much. Come. Ed! Did I ever do a mean thing to you? Didn't I give 15 cents when we hadn't but 20 between ns? What were you thinking when you did this dirty piece of business? . Just tell me you were drunk when yon did it 1 would have given you ten times as much as you ever got from them to know you couldn't do ltf Then he began to go to pieces and cry, and he told me all I wanted to know. It was a plain case of the poison of envy. I was rich and on top, and be was working for $30 a week for me. nis wife, who had always kept a

grudge against me for not making tip to her in the old days.' had taunted him for taking his wages from me. She kept telling him that I did nothing for him. and when she found ont about his dealing with Lucas Smith for me she saw her chance. Somehow Frost got on his track, and evidently tbey thought his information was worth paying something for. That was the whole story. While we were talking Slocum slipped out of the room. It was a pitiful scene. "Ed." I said finally, "you must go back to the country. That Is the only place for you. You'll grow worse in the city the longer you stay. Your belly's got bigger than your brain, and your heart is tainted at the core. I will start you on a ranch I've got in Texas. Think It over and get out of this place as soon as you can. I'm sorry for you. Ed. for you have done something the taste of which will never get out of your mouth." He left my office without a word, and that was the last I ever saw of htm. When be had gone Slocum came back and sat down. "It was a pretty tough thing for Ed to do," he remarked calmly, looking out Into the muddy street where men were hurrying aloug the pavements. I made no remark, and he added In the same faroff tone of voice: "That's the worst of any piece of crooked business. It breaks up the man you work with. Ed is a rascal now and he was never that before" "That's true enough," I assented gloomily. Slocum advised me to leave the city for awhile, because should the Nationalist charges be investigated by the grand jury It might be awkward for me. But I refused to leave the city. No matter what happened I was not the man to run and hide. The Democratic papers made all they could out of the affair, and then after the election it died away. Garretson was reelected, and that was a kind of vindication for him. But the insiders in the city knew that something bad been wrong, and. as Slocum said, the scandal connected with quashing that Injunction follow ed us for many years. It was of less importance to me than to Slocum, for the men with whom I dealt were used to stories like mine. Tbey believed what tbey had a mind to and did business. But for Slocum It was more serious. The worst of It for me was at home. Sarah brooded over the newspaper talk until she was morbid, refusing to go almost anywhere she would be likely to meet people she knew. The Bible classes bad been given up. and, naturally enough, we never went back to Mr. Hardman's church nor returned to oar old church. Sarah and I talked about it once or twice, but wo got nowhere. "I should think you would care for the children !" she would cry, persisting in considering me as a criminal. "You'll see that it won't make the smallest difference to any one a year hence if you'll only hold up your head." "Well, I don't understand business, but May thinks it pretty bad, I know, because she doesn't come to the bouse any more when you are at home." "She has no reason to act that way. And I don't mean to have yon or May or any other woman holding me op with your notions of what's right and wrong just because the newspapers make a lot of talk." That ended the matter between us. Phut for a long time Sarah avoided our old friends, and the bouse was unusually quiet What troubled me more than the racket In Chicago was the way that Dround and Farson and a few other of our backers might take the story. The Drounds were in Egypt, bat tbey would bear the news quickly enough. Mr. Dround was the president of our corporation and the most influential single stockholder. With his Ideas be might become a nuisance or draw oat altogether, which would be awkward In the present condition of the company. As for Farson, I always counted a good deal on that crusty bit of rock, and be had never failed me yet One thing after another had come op In the last four years, aad he and his friends bad backed me solidly. We were pretty deep in other enterprises than this packing business railroads and land In that southwest where I had set my eyes. While the scandal was the worst we never beard a word from Farson. and I was congratulating myself that he had overlooked the matter when one morning I received a dispatch: "Meet me Union station 12 tomorrow. Farson." That wss alL When he got out of the sleeper that noon I missed his usual warm smile. He refused my invitation to lunch at the City club and led the way into the fly specked, smelly restaurant at the station. We ate our miserable meal, and he said little while I talked to blm about our affairs. It was like talking to a blank walL He listened, but said nothing. After awhile he interrupted me in a kind of thin whisper, as if his mind had been absent all the time: "What about this Judge Garretson? It isn't true?" "Yea mean what the papers say?" The old gentleman didn't like news papers. Bat be waived that aside with a frown. "The factsr be whispered across the table. "I should not have mentioned it had it not been for a conversation which I had the other day in New York with Judge Sloan of the Chicago fctr. He tells me .that It Is generally

Jeff Slocum. was mixed up ba it He says that Slocum has lost hi reputation among the best men of the profession on account of his connection with this scandaL What are the facts T "This is hardly the place to go Into all that" I replied somewhat tartly. "1 don't knew but that the place Is good enough." the banker ; observed dryly, "provided yon have the right things to say." Bat ho took the frost out of bis severe tone by one of his most genial smiles and added more gently: "Perhaps yon young men dont realize how serious It is to have such rumors get around about your reputation. Why, my boy. It pots yon In another class. Ton are no longer gentlemen who can be trusted with honest people's money and confidence."

Farson woald be a bard man to bring to my point of view. I said by way of allegory: "When a man comes ont of the alley and puts pistol in your face and asks for all the money you have on yon. you don't wait to see where yon hit him. do yeu? We don't hero in Chicago. The men who are making all this talk were the holdups, and they did not get our money." I laughed. But he did not laugh with me. Instead he shut up like a clam all at once. He finished his corned beef hash and tea. making a few remarks about the train service on the road he bad come over. I asked him some questions about our railroad matters, bat be merely mumbled "I'm, am" to all I had to ay. Finally he said with his usual calm courtesy that be had some letter to write, and as the train for the west he was to take did not leave for some time lie would not detain me, bat would go upstairs to the waiting room and write his letters. So be seised hi worn old grip and marched off. "Cursed old Maine Yankee." I said to myself, and I repeated the remark over the telephone to Slocum, telling blm the result of my luncheon with the banker. "Maybe so. the lawyer telephoned back. "But we can't afford to let him get his back up." "It's up already. He's been talking with Sloan, and I gather the Judge didn't speak highly of yon or me. "I suppose not" came the answer over the wire, and Slocnm'a voice sounded dreary. "That kind of thing dies hard." It was dying hard and no 'doubt about It!
