and In them all, wherever things

Allison's finger was to start and stop

of the earth! Oh, it was wonderful;
wonderful! And she was part of it!
It was there that he proposed to her.
It did not surprise her. She hail
known It when they had entered the

He told her that all this empire was
being buildcd to lay at her foet, that
the was the empress of It and he the

the might and sweep and drive of him.
and Kith the hot. tumbling words of

and her mind in its whirling exulta

held her back, something made her

empress!
Was she? Through all the night she
had battled that question, and the bat
tie had left traces of darkness around
her luminous eyes.
Late In tbe afternoon Jim Sargent
came home, drawn, fagged, and with
hollows under his eyes. He had a vio
lent headache, and be looked ten years
older. He walked slowly Into the li
brary where Mrs. Sargent and Vrs.
Davles and Gall were discussing the
future of Vedder court, and dropped
Into a chair.
Grace Sargent rang a bell Instantly.
When Jim felt that way, he needed a
hot drink first of all.
"What Is the matter?" she nsked
hhn. the creases of worry flashing into
her brow.
"It's been a hard day," he explained
forciug himself, with an effort, to an
swer. Years of persistent experience
had taught him to follow the line of
least resistance. "There has been a
panic on 'change. Railroads are going
to smash all up and down the line. Al
lison's new A.-P. road. It's the star
piracy of the century. Allison has
brought into tho railroad game the
same rough shod methods he used In
his traction manipulations."
"Has yourcompany been hurt. Jim?"
asked his wife, fully prepared tor the
worst, and making up her mind to
bear up bravely under It.
"Not yet," replied Sargent, and he
passed his band over bis brow. He
waB already making a tremendous ef
fort to brace himself for tomorrow's
ordeal. "I escaped today by an accl
dent. By somo mistake the Towando
Valley was mentioned as belonging to
the new A.-P. combination. Of course
I didn't correct It, but tomorrow they'll
know."
"Mr. Allison was responsible for tha
statement," Gall serenely informed her
uncle. "He promised he'd take care of
you."
"Great guns!" exploded her uncle
"What did you know about this
thing?"
"All of It." smiled Gall. She had
known that Allison would keep tils
word, but It gave bcr a Btrange seuse
of relief that he had done so.
Her Aunt Helen turned to her with
a commanding eye; but Gail merely
dimpled.
"Of course I couldn't say anything."
went on Gall. "It was all In confi
dence. Isn't It glorious Uncle Jim!"
"You wouldn't have thought so If
you'd been down town today." respond
ed her uncle, trying again to erase
from his brow the damage which ha"
been done to his nerves. "They wanted
to mob Allison! He has cut the
ground from under the entire railroad

tho show of a rat In a trap!"
"Isn't that business?" asked Gall
the red spots beginning to come Into
her cheeks.
"Not quite!" snapped her Uncle Jim.
"Fiction has made that the universal
idea, but there are decent men In busi
ness. The majority of them are, evon
in railroading. Most roads are organ
ized and conducted for tbe sole pur
pose of carrying freight and passen
gers ut a profit for the stockholders,
and spectacular stock Jobbing deals
are the' exception rather than the
rule."
"Has Mr. Allison been more unfair
thnn others who have made big con
solidations?" demanded Gall, again
aware of the severely inquiring eye of
Aunt Helen.
"Rotten!" replied her uncle, with an
emphasis In which there was much of
persoral feeling. "He has taken tricky
advantage of every unprotected loop
hole. He won from tbe Inland Paclilc,
at the mere cost of trackage, a pas
sage whlth tho Inland built through
the mountains by brilliant engineering
and at an almost countless cost."
"Isn't that accounted clever?" asked
Gail.
"So Is the work of a confidence man
or a wire-tapper!" was the retort "But
they are sent to Jail Just the same.
Tbe Inland created something. It built,
with brains and money and force, and
sincere commercial enterprise, a lino
which won it a well-earned supremacy
of tho Pacific trade. It was entitled to
keep it; yet Allison, by making with
It a tricky contract for the restricted
use of the key to Its supremacy, uses
that very device to destroy It. Ho has
bankrupted, or will have done so, a
two thousand mile railroad system,
which Is of tremendous commercial

If from competition! Allison has cre
ated nothing. He has only seized, by
stealth, what others have created. He
Is not even a commercial highwayman.
He Is a commercial pickpocket!"
Gnil had paled by now.
"Tell me one thing," she demanded.
"Wouldn't any of the railroad men
bave employed this trick If they had
been shrewd enough to think of It?"
"A lot of them," was the admission,
after an awkward pause. "Docs that
make It morally and ethically cor

Gail. "If they are all playing the game
that way, I don't see why Mr. Allison
shouldn't receive applause for clever

"You bet I'm prejudiced!" snarled
Sargent, overcoming his weariness and
pacing up and down the library floor.

"Oh!" It was a scarcely audible cry
of pain. Aunt Helen moved closer,
end patted her hand. Gall did not
notice the action.
"Why did be make you that promise,
Gall?" demanded her uncle, turning rn
her suddenly, with a physical motion
so much like her father's that she was
startled.
"He wants me to marry him," fal
tered Gall.
Aunt Grace sat down by- the other
side of Gail.
"Have you accepted him, dear?" she
asked. .

Gall's bead suddenly went up In
startled Inquiry. She wanted still to
defend Allison; but she dreaded what
was to come.
"We wouldn't sell h!ra Vedder court
at bis price; to be took It from us at
six million less than he originally of

All three women looUed up at him In
breathless interest

Love.
Allison swept Gail into bis arms.
and rained hot kisses upon her, crush
ing her closely to him. She offered
no resistance, and the very fact that
she held so supinely iu his arms, made
AlllBon release her sooner than he
might otherwlso have done. She- had
known that this experience must
come, that no look or gesture or word
of hers could ward It off.
"You must never do that again," she
told him, stepping back from him, and
regaining her breath with an effort.
She had lingered In the front parlors
to receive him before her Uncle Jim
should know that ho was in the house,
and sho had led him straight into tho
little tete-a-tete reception room. She
meant to free herself quickly.
Why not?" he laughed, and ad
vanced toward her, taking her attitude
lightly, ascribing bcr action to a girl
ish whim, confident in his power over
her. He meant to dispose of her coy
ness by taking her in bis arms again.
She belonged to bim.
'Mr. Allison." The tono was cold
enough, and deadly in earnest enough
to arrest bim.
"What's the matter, Gall?" he pro
tested, ready to humor her, to listen to
what she had to say, to smooth mat
ters out.
"You have no right," she told him.
"Yes I have," he Joviully assured
her. "I hope I don't have to wait until
after marriage for a kiss. If that's
the case I'll take you out and marry
you right now."
There was an Infection (n his laugh,
contagion In the assumption that all
was right between them, and that any
difference was one which could be
straightened out with Jolly patience,
and Gall, though . her determination
would not have changed, might have
softened toward him, had she not seen
In his face a look which paled her lips.
Ever since last night he had antici
pated her, had rejoiced In his posses
sion of her. had dreamed on the time
when, he should take her for his own;
and his eyes were cloudy with bis
thoughts of her.
"Let us have a clear understanding,
Mr. Allison." She was quite erect, and
looking him directly in the eyes. Her
own were deep and troubled, and the
dark trace which had been about them
In the morning had deepened. "I told
you last night that 1 should need time
in which to decide; 1 bave decided. I
shall not marry you."
He returned her gaze for a moment,
and his brow clouded.
"You've changed since last night."
he charged her.
"Possibly," she admitted. "It Is
more likely, however, that I have
merely crystallized. I prefer not to
discuss It." She saw on bis face the
growing Instinct to humiliate her.
"You must discuss It," he Insisted.
"Last night when 1 took you in my
arms you made no objection. I was
Justified In doing It again tonight.
You're not a fool, ou knew from the
first that I wanted you, and you en
couraged me. Now. I'm entitled to

The telltale red spots began to ap
pear In her cheeks.
"You." she told him. "Last night,
your schemo of world empire seemed
a wonderful thing to me. but since
then I've discovered It cannot be built
without dishonesty and cruelty; and
you've used both."
His brow cleared. . He laughed
heartily.
"You've been reading the papers

"I'd have been foolish to pay six mil

he advanced to put bis arm around
her. and soothe her.
Tho band with which she warded
him off was effective this time. She
stared at him In wonder. It seemed
Inconceivable that the moral sense of
any Intelligent man should be so
blunted.
"There's another reason," she told
him, despairing of making him realize
that be hud done anything out of tbe
way. "I do not love you. I could not."
For Just a moment h'o was checked;
then his Jaws set.
"That Is something you must learn.
You have young notions of love,
gleaned from poetry and fiction. You
conceive It to be an Ideal stage of ex
istence, a mysterious something al
most too delicate for perception by the
human senses. I will teach you love,
Gail! Look," and be stretched up his
firm arm. as If in bis grip he already
held the reins of the mighty empire he
was hewing out for ber. "Love is a
thing of strength, of power, of desire
which shakes, and burns, and con
sumes with fever! Do you suppose
that, with such love driving mo on,

will stop me? No! I set out to at

the only thing In this world I want,

Again that great fear of bim pos
sessed Gall. S.ie feared many things.
She feared that, in spite of her deter

Number of Dark Star.
It Is reasonable to assume that the
number of stars In space having a
temperature so low that their rudla
(ions do not affect our eves or photo
graphic plates Is extremely large. That
these Invisible stars are far more
numerous than the lurrfnnus stars is
suggested by Mr. F. A. Llndeinnnn,
who attempts. In the M-mthly Notices,
a rough calculation of their relative
number, based ou tbe assumption that
new stars innvioi arc due to col

about 4.000 times as many dark start
as bright ones.

FRUIT
LAXATIVE
FORJi CHILO
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
ber children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowela with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of tbla harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few boura all tbe
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out ot the bow
ols, and you have a well, playrul child
again. When its little system la full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic reraem
bor, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 60
cent bottle of 'California Syrup ef
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adr.

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent physician down in
Jeorgla went through a food experi
ence which he makes puhllo:
"It was my own experience that first
led mo to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
and I also know from having pre
scribed It to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won
derful rebullder and restorer of nerve
and bralu tissue, as well aa muscle. It
improves the digestion and patlonts
gain, just as I did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
"I was in such a low state that
I had to give up my work entlroly and
go to tho mountains, but two months
there did not Improve me; in fact I
was not quite aa "well as when I left
home. My food did not sustain me
and tt became plain that I must
change.
"I began to use Grape-Nuts and In
two weeks I could walk a mile, and In
five weeks returned to my home and
practice. taking up hard work again.
Since that time J have felt as well and
strong as I ever did In my life.
"Aa physician who seeks to help
all sufferers I consider it a duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on GrapevNuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus
tain tbo body will work wonders.
