TO
POWER

SYNOPSIS
Senator Murchell, loader of the state
machine, and Sheehan, local boss of New
Chelsea, offer the nomination for district
attorney to John Dunmesule. Dunmeade
la Independent In his political Ideas.
Dunmeado will accept tho nomination.
His father, a partisan Judge, coneratu
lates him. His Aunt Roberta urges John
to call on Kathcrlne Hampden, daughter
of a capitalist.
Katherlne Hampden Is a worshiper of
ruccess. Bhe and John are friends. Jere
my Applcgate, a political dependent, cam
paigns for John apd the state ticket.
In Netf CfTelsea lives Warren Blake, a
model young bank cashier, connected with
Hampden In "high finance." They try
without success for John's aid.
The rottenness of politics In his state
and party as revealed In his campaign dls
w Jch. TI calls upon Katherlne.
Katherlne s peril In a runaway re
Teals to her and John their unspoken
olve. John publicly "turns down"
the machine of his party.
John will not compromise with his
conscience even for the sake of win
ning Katherlne, and the two part.
The course of his Bon la disapproved by
Judge Dunmeade. John Is elected and
puts Sheehan on trial for political corrup
tion. Sheehan Is convicted and flees. John
meets Hale:, a novelist, who Is Introduced
to him by Warren Blake.
Halg and John visit tho Hampdens.
uiake proposes to Katherlne and is re
jected. Ho praises John to her. Murchell
has a visitor.
"Tho question Is, am 1 Dig enougtt
Tor the job?"
"No, that ain't tho question," Cran
shawe contradicted quickly. "Be
icauso that can't be answered till ye've
tried. Tho question Is, are yo goln' to
be scared out by n job because It's big,
or are ye goln' to keep up what ye've
started? 'P ye don't, there ain't any
body else to do It. An' we'll soon be
back where wo started."
John nodded slowly. Cranshawo did
not pursue the point.
"I sco Stove Hampden's back," ho
remarked casually. "That girl o' his
was at tho trial. Camo In late an' had
to stand by the door whero I was
standln'. She was with some young
city feller. Seen her at tho rally last
fall too. She seems," ho grinned quiz,
zlcally, "to take conslder'blo Intrust in
ye. So long!"
Soon he was out of sight around a
turn In the road.
John swung rapidly along for an hour
until tho sweat oozed from every poro
of his body. Then he throw himself
under a tree by the roadside.
lie pondered his problem. Yet he
knew that it was answered, not by 'III
Cranshawe's homely wisdom, but by
the Inscrutable purpose of tho force
which had impelled him Into tho fight.
Ho could not withdraw from tho task
to which he had been set. Whither?
was a question that ho needed not to
answer, so long as a straight pleco of
road lay ahead. lie thought sadly of
his father's displeasure. And he
thought of Katherlne, whom, it ap
peared, tho winter had not taught to
forget him. He had not learned to for
get. Work could dull, It could not
wholly stifle, the longing for her. And
yet ho had not been unhappy. lie
knew that he could not say no to that
which was calling him Into service.
lie walked homo through the calm of
sundown. At the corner whero stands
tho Pnrmers' bank ho met Warren
Blake and a companion. Warren
stopped him to Introduce tho stranger,
Halg, a lanky, cadaverous Individual
who was the author of a much criti
cised novel; "Tho Brothren."
"I heard you twisting Murchell's tall
this afternoon," Halg drawled. "If
you don't mind, I'd like to congratulate
you on your nerve. I'vo been wonder
ing whether you aro merely a brave
man or n specimen of that splendid
genus, the fool. Brother Blako Inclines
to the latter notion."
"Yes, Warren would," John smiled.
"I do," said Warren solemnly. "1
don't believe in agitation. It hurts
business and the agitator."
"In Now Chelsea, Mr. Ilalg, wo dally
offer thanks for prosperity, good weath
er and tho old party."
Ilnlg's ready grin broadened as ho
placed a hand on Warren's shoulder.
"Here, Mr. Dunmeado, but for the
grace of God, stand I. My people
wanted to make mo a banker."
"A dollar, Mr. Halg," John put in,
"held tJose enough to tho eye will hide
tho rest of creation."
Halg chuckled. "Now, that's good.
That's very good. Wish I could have
thought of it"
"As wo put it in Now Chelsea, are
you leaving soon, Mr. Ilaig?" askod
John.
"Lord, no! I'm hero for my health.
Doctor told mo I'd been working too
hard or not hard enough, I forget
which, and that I needed fresh air for
jny liver. So I trailed up hero after
the Hampdens, where, by tho way,
Brother Blako and I aro dining this
"lVs.'uhd we'd better start," Warren
suggested patiently.
"Ah, these fiery lovers 1 Como around
ami sco me, Mr. Dunmeado."
John promised, and they parted
He reached homo to be soundly scold
ed by Miss Bobcrta for his tardlnoss nt
suppor. After supper ho strollod into
tho library. Tho Judgo was reading
by tho desk, tho Hsht from tho lamp
throwing his cold, heavy features into
sharp relief. Ho looked up inhospita
bly as John entered.
"Busy, Judge?" John generally call
ed him judge, feeling not without rea
son that his father took moro prldo in
his office than in his paternity. Of
lato he had had especial reason lor
this belief.
"Not too busy If you have anything
of Imjmrtnnco to discuss. I suppose
you expect mo to pat you on tho back
because you've sent nnothor man on
the rond to prison?"
"I havo felt that you weren't In full
sympathy with It."
"I am not." Tho Judgo laid his book
on the desk and sat stiffly erect John
was immediately enabled to sympa
thize with thoso unfortunates who
wore arraigned beforo his father.
"Now that tho case Is ended, I may
speak frankly. As a judgo I, of course,
approve of tho punishment of crime.
But I don't approve your going out of
your way to attack your party and
Senator Murcholl, a fine, clean living
gentleman, who lias always showed
the warmest friendship for your fam
ily." Judge Dunmende spoko with re
strained emphasis.
"And has croatod a pernicious ma
chine," John added Incautiously.
"Which elected you to the office you
now hold."
"Your memory Isn't good, Judgo.
Tho machine nominated mo. Tho peo
ple of Benton county elected me, you
may remember."
"You couldn't have beon nominated
without Murchell's Indorsement"
"That, I'm sorry to say, Is probably
true," John said, wishing that ho had
not ventured Into tho room. "I'm sor
ry you feel so about it Good night,
father."
Judge Dunmeado resumed his book.
Now, the Judicial temperament is not
given to impulse. But as John went
Blowly out of tho room Judge Dun
meade experienced n novel sensation
which in tho brief moment nllowcd for
reflection ho was nt loss to define.
Later ho doclded that It was his gen
erous nature asserting Itself to give his
son another chance, no may havo
been mistaken.
Bo that ns it may, beforo John had
passed quite out of tho room ho was
recalled by an unexpected "Walt!"
no returned. "Yes, father?"
"I suppose," said tho Judgo gruffly,
"your fathers Interest can have no
weight with you. It ought to bo clear
to you without suggestion from me that
If you persist In nttacklng Senator
Murchell you make my Hfolong nmbl
tlon impossible"
"Are you still taking that seriously?
Tho senator has been teasing you along
with tho promise of n justlcoshlp for
ten years. Don't you know by this
time that he has no intention of giv
ing it to you?"
"Ho gave you a nomination."
"Yes, ho happened to bellove ho could
make use of me. It seems to bo solely
a question of tho senator's political
necessities. I I doubt that he needs
you, father."
"That means, I presume," the judge
said bitterly, "that I count for nothing
against your notions? But I might
havo known it. Good night!" he re
peated.
Out In tho clear night John walked
slowly about. Moro than ever ho re
alized the price which they must pay
who would be voices.
CHAPTER X.
Apples of Eden.
P the summer beforo had been
gay, what shall we say of
that which now opened? Tho
center of gnyety was East
rldgo. The Italian villa was tho
scene of one continuous house party,
It was Inevitable that John and
Katherlne should meet. It happened
ono morning a few days after the
Sheehan trial whon John was leaving
tho postolfico with his dally mall. A
trap drew up in which sat Katherlno
and a young man. John remoraberod
a saying of hers concerning ono whom
"people were npt to sneer at ns a spec'
ulntor," but whom sho thought "splen'
did because he had had tho brains and
courage to make his own fight and
win." no had no difficulty In idontl
fylng that man with Gregg, of whom
ho had hoard moro than once. Gregg
wns an nttractlvo fellow, a few years
older than John, of athletic build and
pleasant manner, no Joined Kathor
lne In congratulating John on his re
cently acquired fame.
"Wo expect to seo you often on tho
ridge. There will be tennis. Ho will
make vou play," sho said to Gregg,
who responded pleasantly.
"I'd like to have tho chance, Mr.
Dunmeado. I'vo been hearing about
your game."
But, although Gregg spent nearly
every week end on the ridge, John
1M not kpnn his nromlso. TndoAd ho
had little time for recreation, and that
little was put in with Halg, with whom
ho was rapidly cementing a friendship.
Tho Juno primaries wore at hand.
John felt less pride than responsibility
when he found that ho was expected
to lead tho campaign to capture tho
county nominations from the machlno
and that, by tacit consent of friends
and enemies alike, upon him devolved
tho task of choosing tho roform ticket
no gavo much thought to this task. It
Was not simple. Thero were many un
worthy gentlemen, ho discovered, will
ing to bo swept Into office by tho wave
zi copul-r pretest. And ho could havo
erjmsa hero, had ho been so minnen,
that even ft reformer must employ tho
wisdom of the serpent. Ho achieved
rosulta at which n politician might
havo sneorod, but which wcro on tho
wholo very promising In tho light of
his Inoxperionco.
In Halg John found nn unexpected
but Invaluable nld. The novelist had
onco been a political reporter. Tho
reform ticket was nominated. Mur
chell, cynically willing to lot tho re
form ware run Its brief courno, with
held his hand. Bereft of Its familiar
weapon, fraud, tho machlno was easily
conquered by a people thoroughly an
gered. Even Phimvlllo gave tho re
formers a small mnjorlty. Hnlg hail
ed John ns a "Uttlo boss."
John Indignantly rejected tho title.
'My work Is dono, or, nt least will bo
when they're elected. I can't Interfere
with them then."
"Say, aren't you afraid the cowa
will tako you for a bunch of nlco,
greon, succulent clover? Just wait,"
Halg grinned, "until they're In office.
Mnko no mistake, sonny; you'll need
to keep n tight roln on them. About
n year from now I oxpect to seo some
pretty little, homemade Illusions badly
busted."
Tho promised journey to the rldgo
had not yet beon made.
Ono afternoon Halg found him busy
in his office. "How's tlw bosslet? nad
shave today? Feeling conversation
al? You nnd I aro going out for a Httlo
drivo this afternoon."
"We're not. I hopo you nre. I'vo
got things to do."
"This American habit of Industry Is
becoming a posltivo mania. Aro you
coming peaceably or will you go any
how?" "I'll do neither." John continued his
writing.
"All right." Halg seated himself,
deposited his feet on tho desk besido
John and commenced an apparently
Interminable monologue on the npocry-
phal cleverness of a dog ho onco had
owned.
John threw down his pen In disgust
I surrender," ho groaned. "I'll go to
get rid of you."
"Thought I could persundo you,
Como right along. I'vo got a buggy
outside."
John put his papers away nnd meek
ly followed to tho waiting vehicle.
Halg drove, chattering volubly of
whatever camo into his mind. But
when nalg turned Into the rldgo road
John stirred uneasily.
"Going anywhere in particular?"
"Anywhere you'd llko to go?"
"No-o, I guess not"
"Then we'll go to tho Hampdens.
There's always somebody there."
"Oh, no, we won't! Let's go back
tho other direction. I llko tho south
road better "
"Oh, you do! Why not Hampdens?"
"Well, you see," John began to ex
plain lamely, "Hampden and I aren't
on very good terms and"
'Lord! Don't I know that? ne
spends most of his tlmo enumerating
"I've brought him!"
the different kinds of fool you are.
sometimes think his list is incomploto,
But what difference does that make?
Wo aren't going to seo him. There's a
fellow up there Gregg that I want
you to play tenuis with."
"I haven't had a racket in my hand
all summer," John protested.
"Macht nlchts aus! I'vo never seen
you play, but you can beat him. You'vo
got to. He's got my scalp so often I
have to take rovengo by proxy. Bo
tildes, you need a Httlo frivolity. You're
t-cglnnlng to tnko yourself seriously
and that's a bad sign."
"But I'm not fixed up for.it." John
looked nt his shoes, upon which a thin
Mating of dust had settled.
nalg surveyed him and then stretch'
el out over the dashboard a lean shank,
tho trouser of which had not felt an
iron for many a day. "You're a regu
tar dude beside me."
"Oh, havo it your own way," John
agreed with as good graco as possible
He could not well explain that ho and
Katherlne had been in love, that he
was still in tho same case though she
had probably recovered, that he had
persistently stayed away from her toi
the sake of bis peace of mind, and
Almost any excuse for yielding will
servo when ono is resisting a weakness
to which one both wishes and does not
wish to, succumb.
On the shaded eastern terrace they
found a small group of young people
of both sexes. Hale saluted them with
a triumphant hall. "I've orougnt mini
Now, you brokor man, I'll bot you $10
he can beat you, best two out of three
sets."
Katherlne roso nnd came forward to
meet them. Gregg accompanied her,
almost with tho air of a host, it seem
ed to John. They greeted the new
comers cordially, Katherlne with such
notable absence of constraint that
John, who had nerved himself for nn
ordeal, wub rather heavily let down.
He could almost havo believed that she
had forgotten the rldo homo under the
October moon.
It wns undenlnbly pleasant to loll
luxuriously In tho comfortable wlckei
chair, watching the play of animated
young faces, from whoso freshness
neither work nor worry had subtract
ed, against the background of green-
sward and flowering shrubbery. Occn-
slonally he tossed a light word on tho
eddy of conversation. He noticed that
when he spoke nil, especially the men,
showed Interest. That, too, was pleas
ant.
Later Gregg reminded him of the
promised match, and whon they had
donned flnnuels it was played. John
lost, although after the first set ho
gavo his opponent a hard game. Gregg
proved n generous conqueror, finding
more cxcubos for his lucky victory
than John could hnve devised. The
latter enjoyed every point, especially
when Halg, grumbling something about
"thrown match," paid his bet. Aft
erward, in tho physical contentment
consequent upon hard exercise and
good tubbing, ho stayed to dinner, a
vory gay, informal nffair served on tho
terrace by candlelight John wns al
most regretful when the tlmo came to
leave.
Late that night, going over tho day,
be found that he had talked a great
deal with Katherlne, but never alone.
He was leaving.
"I am very glad you came," she said
brightly. "You will come ngaln?"
"And I am glad. I certainly shall."
Then it was he thought he caught
question flickering momentarily in her
eyes. But the question, if there at all
save in his imagination, was gono be
fore ho could make sure.
Ho was silent during the drive home
ward, and Hnlg, busily humming the
pilgrims' chorus motif, did not try to
interrupt his thoughts.
Haig's parting shot as they separated
was, "Now I'vo shown you tho way
go up there often. You'll bo a brighter
nnd nobler man fdr it."
John went, not often and always in
Haig's company, It is true, but often
enough to keep burning brightly tho
fires within him.
If John's lovo affairs remained In
statu quo thoso of another advanced
at least to a climax. Amid tho cares
of banking nnd trusteeships War
ren Blake found time to contribute to
tho gayety of tho ridge that is to say,
ho was frequently to bo found on tho
Hampden terrace, an Inconspicuous,
often half forgotten listener to the
nimble gossip and badinage. Had ho
been moro obtrusive It is probable that
ho would havo been snubbed Into stay
ing away. But one does not greatly
resent the attentions of a shadow, and
ono day he proposed to Katherlne and
was rejected.
"Why don't you marry John Dun
meade?" he asked abruptly.
She turned on him angrily. "War
ren! That Is an"
"An Impertinence," ho interrupted
again evenly. "You will allow mo this
time. I'm not likely to bother you
much again. You were In love with
him last summer. And you aren't tho
sort that forgets. Nor is he, I think,
He will go further than nny of us
he'll go better. Ho Is what you need.
With me with Gregg you would bo
merely a pleasant Incident You know
that yourself. I think you're fighting
against that knowledge. Don't do it'
It was tho longest speech sho bad ever
heard from his Hps.
When they were ncarlng home she
turned to him again. "I didn't know
you and ho were friends."
"Wo aro not," ho replied simply,
"He doesn't care for me."
"You are mistaken about him and
me," she said steadily. "But that you
lould plead for him when you Oh,
I call that fine, Warren!" sho ended
Impulsively.
"I'm thinking of you," he said.
'Since I can't havo what I want I
ivant you to havo what you need."
When ho loft for more than an hour
sho sat chin cupped In ono hand, gaz
ing out over tho green hills. Onco
It's Just a Jumble," she sighed
What I want. I wish I weren't so
I wish he" Sho did not Indicate
H'hnt sho wished, and sho was not re
ferring to Warren Blake.
Senator Murchell, after sovoral weeks'
Ibsence, had returned to his "legal
residence." On his roundabout journey
lomeward ho had been interviewed by
many reporters concerning a rumored
revolt in tho organization.
a rew aays after tho senator's re
turn New Chelsea was visited by
nonarch. But ho camo incognito, with
i notable absence of regal splendor. To
Silas Hicks, at the station, appeared n
uort. sauare whiskered, alert man who
asked to be taken to senator Murcneu a
home.
"Senator's out to tho farm," Silas re
sponded in tho omnlsclcnco of hack
men.
"Then tako mo to the farm."
Arrived nt the farm, he received an
other command to wait. A hired man
was repairing n broken placo in the
fence. From him royalty demanded to
know tho whereabouts of tho prime
minister and was told to seek him in
the potato patch.
In the middle of tho potato patch the
visitor beheld tho figure of hla minister,
arrayed in a pair of tho hired man's
overalls and a straw hat of enormous
brim, busily hoeing. Toward this trulv
rural riEttre t&cTcetfAfar out" monarch
is no other than the president of tho
great Atlantic railroad made his way,
considerably to tho damage of tho vines
beneath his feet
"Cnrcful!" ndmonlshcd the senntor.
"Walk between tho hills."
Sackctt became moro careful. "How
are you, senator?"
"Uow're you, Sackctt?"
Their hands met, to pnrt instantly.
"What." Sackctt demanded, "is tho
matter with Shorrod?"
"He wants too much," Murchell an
swered briefly.
"I wns talking to him last week."
Murchell turned on him suddenly.
'Told you I ought to get down from
tho head of the organization, didn't he?
Told you that Adolphla and the Steel
City are turning against mo. that he
wnnts to be governor and that the Steel
people want Parrott for my Job In tho
senate, didn't he?"
"You fellows," Sackctt exploded ir
ritably, "had better settle your squab
bles or you'll give somo incendiary tho
chance to step in nnd raise Cain. Tho
trouble is Sherrod Is close to the Steel
City organization, and the Michigan is
trying to get into tho city." Tho secret
of the royal irritation is out A com
peting monnrch Is making ready to in.
vade his dominion!
Murchell smiled bitterly. "So that's
it? For twenty years I'vo been doing
your dirty work. And now at the
first threat of competition you're ready
to throw me over without a scruple
If you think If a safe! It Isn't safe,
Sackctt."
Sackett's eyes snapped angrily. "I've
my duty to my stockholders, of whom
you are one. Can you keep tho Mich
igan out?"
"I don't know, so I won't promise.
But have I ever failed you yet?"
"I don't believe you can do it You're
too unpopular with tho organization.
You've been too strong handed. Things
are ripe for a revolt. Why, you can't I
even control your own county r
"When I give up hope for this coun
ty," the senator answered sharply,
you can talk. All that's been said
before. How do you expect me to keep
these hungry coyotes in line by quot
ing Golden Rule Scripture at 'em? Do
you want to go back to tho old guer
rilla dnys, Snckett?"
Sackett stared moodily at his feet.
Murchell took off his old straw hat
and leaned against the tree. Ho wait
ed until Snckett wns ready to speak.
"About Parrott," Sackett said after
long pause, "MncGregor and Flick
want him for senator."
"ne's slated for governor. I like
my job."
"But Sherrod wants to be governor."
"He'll take what he's earned nnd can
get." Murchell said shortly. "Pnrrott
can have Roseben's place four years
from now maybe. We'll see."
"But they want him to havo your
place. They say," Sackett explained
with that brutal frankness which we
nnturally associate with royalty, "that
you're nothing but a politician and
have been identified with n lot of un
popular things, while Parrott is a fine
lawyer and could easily work up a rep
utation as a statesman. They figure
he could get 'cm more. And they don't
enre whether tho Michigan gets In or
not. They think they'd get better
rates. And they're afraid that you
and Shorrod with your squnbbles will
spill the milk. I'm afraid of that too.
Senator, you're getting to be an old
man. You've had enough. Why don't
you retire?"
"Old, am I?" exclaimed Murchell
harshly. "Want mo to retire, do you?
Well, I won't. And I'll tell you why
because the organization, the power, is
mine. Sot your mind easy. I'm too
old to learn now tricks. I'll not turn
agitator like these dreamers nnd fel
lows with a grievance. The Michigan
won't como in, if I can help it. But
Sherrod won't bo governor, nnd Pnr
rott won't get my scat, I'm not go
ing to givo up what I'vo worked for all
my life. You tell 'em that I like my
Job and that I'm not too old to run it
And, Sackett" he added, "play fair
play fair!"
Sackett left, -wondering if in nn en
lightened, up to date monarchy a prime
minister could have moro power than
his liege, Snckett would havo been
surprised had he known that tho sena
tor's mind was not on tho conversation
just ended. Ho was seeing very clear
ly the gray-green eyes of a young wo
man and measuring himself ngainst a
young man who onco had been.
