The latter, looking back as she left the room, saw Caleb sitting doubled over, motionless, In his chair, his gaze again on the fire. Long and late Caleb Conover sat there alone in his big, silent study. The lamp on the table flickered, gut tered and went out. The live coals died down to embers. The cold of early autumn crept through the great room, along with the encroaching darkness. The clock on the wall chimed. Then again, and a third time, but the Railroader sat motion less. CHAPTER XVIII. Caleb Conover Fights. UINDER way at last was the real campaign and the Mountain pgjggj State thrilled as never be- EsSSUfore 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 ef the Democrats, faction Hues were cast aside and Clive Stan dish nominated by acclamation. An sel had presided, and scores of bolt ing Democrats were in attendance. Then, in Granite and through the State, Clive began what Is still re called as his "whirlwind campaign." Often ten speeches a day were deliv ered as he hurried from point to point. The reports of his meetings were sown broadcast, as was other legiti mate 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 grow ing 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 Con over lieutenants had heard their mas ter's decree that the press gag was to be removed, and other customary tac tics of the sort abandoned. None dared to protest. And, after the first shock, the majority, in their sublime faith, read In the mandate some mys terious new maneuvre of the Rail roader's which time would triumphant ly Justify. His fingers ever on the pulse ol the State, Caleb noted with annop ance, then with something akin to dread, the swelling onrush of Cllve'B popularity. To offset it the Rail roader threw himself bodily into the fight, personally directing and execut ing where of old he had only trans mitted orders; toiling like any ward politician; devising each day new and brilliant tactics for use against the enemy. He stuck to the letter of his pledge to Anice. Its spirit he had never regarded. (To Be Continued.) Ruling Passion. "I knew Butts's smoking would get him into trouble." "Well?" "At his wedding, when it came to the ring part, he reached into his pocket and handed the minister a match."
