SYNOPSIS
Senator Murcliell, leader of the state
inachlne, and Shechan, local boss of New
Chelsea, offer tho nomination for district
attorney to John Dunmeade. Dunmeade
t Independent In his political Ideas.
Dunmeade will accept tho nomination.
His father, a partisan Judge, congratu
lates him. His Aunt Roberta urges John
to call on Katherlne Hampden, daughter
of a capitalist.
Katherlne Hampden Is a worshiper of
success. She and John aro friends. Jere
my Applcgate, a political dependent, cam
Bolans for John asd tho state ticket.
In"Netf Ch"e'lsea"llves Wfrren 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-
Jci. H rails upon Katherlne.
Kathorlne's peril in a runaway re
veals to her and John their unspoken
olve. John publicly "turns down"
tho machine of his pqrty.
John will not compromise with his
conscience oven for the sake of win
ning Katherlne, and tho two part.
The courso of his son Is disapproved by
Judge Dunmoade. John Is elected and
puts Sheehan on trial for political corrup
tion. Bhechan Is convicted and flees. John
meets Haig, a novelist, who is Introduced
to him by Warren Blake.
Halg and John visit the Hampdons.
Blako proposes to Katherlne and Is re
jected. Ho praises John to her. Murchell
lias a visitor.
The visitor Is Sackett, head of the
Atlantic railroad, trying to keep tho
Michigan out of the Steel City. He
wants Murchell to retire. The lat
ter cannot induce John to stop his
attacks on the machine. John and
Katherlne meet.
Tliey talked lor a few minutes long
er on uninteresting, impersonal sub
jects until they saw Gregg appear at
tho entrance. But Mrs. Deland effusive
ly waylaid him, and there was an awk
ward pause which John did not know
how to bridge.
Katherlne said, on an Impulse, tho
wisdom of which may bo regarded as
doubtful: "About what you said of
your career. I don't llko to hear you
speak so so lightly of it. I think you
havo been very bravo and splendid.
Not many men would bavo held out
as you have."
lie was taken off his guard. "I did
not expect you to think so."
"My my notions of values and things
havo changed a good deal, I find. And,
I may I go on?" She looked at Gregg.
Ho was still In Mrs. Deland's clutches.
"I was a very selfish, thoughtless girl
then. I deliberately no, carelessly,
which is worse jeopardized your hap
piness In tho search for my own. I
havo been heartily ashamed of it. I
I hope It did not mean serious unhap
pincss to you."
He looked at her steadily. "I havo
not been unhappy." Then he rose to
greet Gregg, who had extricated him
self. Tho latter was very cordial. "Any
time you're in town call me up and
we'll lunch at tho club. Any time, re
member!" But ho did not miss Katherine's tone
as sho said to John, "Goodby and I
am very glad of what you havo Just
told me."
Later, when they were at their tabic,
3regg said to Katherlne, "I havo a no
tion Dunmeado Is the reason you havo
kept me waiting so long."
Under his gazo the tinge of color In
her checks deepened. She iuulo no
reply.
"Doe3 It ever occur to you," he ask
ed, cnrefully sotting down tho glass,
"that I might get tired of waiting?"
"Does It ever occur to you," she nn
swered, "that I shouldn't caro very
muchV"
But of this John could know nothing.
0
Tho ceremony of exchanging minis
ters was not nn elaborate court func
tion. Fifty odd gentlemen, represent
ing each his principality, met in a
hotel parlor and elected Mark Sherrod
to succeed William Murchell as chair
roan of tho stato executive committee.
As tho latter retired from tho chair
which, symbol of his undisputed swny,
he had occupied for twenty years and
his enemy took Ills placo thero was
nothing to Indicate that tho seals of do-
minion had been formally transferred.
' Tho monarch was not present in per
I son. Many of tho committeemen wore
' surprised at Murchell's presenco. They
had thought that ho would stay away
to escapo the last humiliation of be
holding tho formal ratification of his
accomplished defeat.
Ho had gone to tho meeting in a car
riage because tho weather was rough
and his physical condition was not
good. But when ho left ho forgot tho
carriage and started to walk to tho
houso that ho called home. Ho walked
nimlesBly, head lowered as though ho
wero pondering some deep problem.
Tho defiant front that he had main
tained baCoro the commltteo had been
a poso. Ho was feeling old oldl
His course took him past a houso
of state, whero the monarch sat en
throned amid his court, directing tho
affairs of his kingdom. What Mur
chell saw was tho offlcc building of
the Atlantic railroad. Ho entered an
elevator and was rapidly hoisted to tho
proper story. A pago of ebony skin
took his card.
Murchell did not havo to wait long.
Soon he was beforo his former liege.
Tho royal brow wrinkled. "Isn't
this a little indiscreet considering tho
present state of public sentiment?"
"What difference does it make now?
I've Just come from tho committee
meeting."
"Yes?" Sackett understood. "Shor
rod's elected, I suppose?"
"Yes. Thanks to your Influence."
"I'm sorry." Sackett's regret was
genuine. "But I have my duty"
"To your stockholders, of whom I am
one. Yes, I know. I'm not complain
ing," Murchell interrupted mildly. "I
came to tell you to keep an eye on
the Michigan. I'vo kept them out of
the Steel City for you so far. But
they're coming in. They ought to get
in, too. At any rate, they're getting
ready to spend a million in the at
tempt. I don't believe Sherrod can
keep them out. Keep an eye on hlra,
Sackett."
"We're counting on you to help
there."
Murchell shook his head. "I'm
through."
'T)ok hero! What's! tho uso of your
getting your back up over this busi
ness? You understand perfectly well
that we must stand in with whoover's
on top. You put Sherrod out and we'll
back you as strong as ever. I wish,"
Sackett said persuasively, "you'd keep
an oversight of the Michigan matter.
I doubt myself that Sherrod can keep
them out."
"Little late thinking that, aren't you?
Ho can't Don't trust him to do it.
Sherrod won't last, Sackett no has
no self control, no's too greedy. But
I'm through. I don't want to put him
out"
"We'll make it worth, your while, if
that's tho trouble."
"Vou can't make it worth my while."
"You politicians," Sackett exclaimed
angrily, "make mo tired with your in
fernal bickerings and jealousies. I'd
as soon be back in tho old days"
"No, you wouldn't," Murchell inter
rupted again dryly. "You wouldn't go
back to those days for many times the
millions It'll cost you to keep the Mich
igan out If you keep It out. You
know that I know it You railroaders
have grown hog fat tho last few years
just because in every state of the
Union there's been a man like mo, wil
ling to prostitute himself at your serv
ice." Sackett looked a real astonishment
and suspicion.
"You needn't be afraid," Murchell
grimly answered the suspicion. "It's
too late for tho leopard to change his
spots. I'm not going to fight you. I'm
going to quit."
no slouched back In his chair, half
closing his eyes as though ho wero
very tired. lie sat for several min
utes without speaking, forgetting that
Sackett's time was precious. Sackett,
too, seemed to have forgotten this Im
portant fact no was wrinkling his
brow over tho problem, what means
to devise to induco an old, pigheaded,
betrayed minister to remain in the
service In a minor capacity. He was
too shrewd to argno. For many years
ho had had intimate knowledge of
Murchell's inflexibility.
"I'll toll you what I'll do," he began
at last. "I'll see Sherrod and"
Senator Murchell looked up sharply,
as though ho had forgotten the other's
presence. "I'm through. I'vo earned a
rest, and my health's gone back on me.
I'm going hack to tho farm to raise po
tatoes tho farmer vote crop has peter
ed out And If I ever do come back
into politics I'll make my own terms."
no nodded a careless goodby and
went slowly out of the office. Appar
ently ho had forgotten to shnke hands.
Sackett did not remind him of the
omission. He remained with tho im
pression of having beheld a broken,
Jencc harmless, old man.
CHAPTER XIV.
History,
'STy'lT was charact
1 I cheU to give tl
teristlc of Mur-
the world no Ink
ling of his illness. He was
supposed to bo sulking over
his defeat. Not until after the fact did
tho surgeons, unable to refuse the op
portunity for self advertisement, an
nounce that a critical operation had
been performed from which there were
hopes of n partial recovery. Interest in
his condition persisted extraordinarily,
considering that ho was out of politics.
When his convalescence permitted it
ho was removed to Now Chelsea. That
community, as you may believe," was
properly excited, Intrusively interested
and somewhat apprehensive lest ho
pass unseasonably into tho beyond and
rob It of tho distinction of being his
"legal residence." John Dunmeade,
as a collaborator in this disaster, was
made to feel a sudden atmospheric
frigidity and was Jd Into further sor
rowful reflections on tho fickleness of
tho public. Murchell in very ungra
cious fashion kept himself secluded
from his neighbors and tho stream of
pilgrims that knocked at his gates.
Their plaints were divers. Sherrod
was too arbitrary, ho was too lax, ho
permitted himself and his friends to
shako tho plum trees of tho cities so
vigorously as to court failure of tho
crop, ho greedily refused to divide the
plums. From which it will appear that
Sherrod, even thus early In his minis
try, showed an iucomploto mastery of
tho subtle scienco of suiting the word
to the man. Murchell was urged to In
tervene, to resist, to destroy. For ono
and all he had only tho Irritable re-
lteraHou, "I aril out of politics." But
tho pilgrimages continued.
In tho midst of this uncertainty tho
Michigan railroad began secrotly to
undermine tho Steel City, that hither
to Impregnable fortress of tho rival
monarch. And John Dunmcado's an
nouncement was inado that, whether
renominated as district attorney or not,
ho would bo a candidate, antl-Shcrrod
and nntl-Murchell, for tho guberna
torial nomination. Jerry Brent was al
ready well into a campaign for tho op
position nomination, theretofore re
garded ns an empty honor.
We may not go so far as to declare
that Miss Iloberta turned tho courso
of history. But It is ccrtnln that sho
was first to foresee, though not with
her bones, tho fork of tho road. So
touching wero tho pictures presented
to her of Murchell's illness that at
length, after a protracted struggle with
herself, her heart relented. Sho filled
a basket with homcmado comestibles
deslgucd to tempt tho appetite of tho
most Jaded Invalid. This basket on
her arm, sho set out, on a day when
tho March wind blustered and stung
her face, toward Murchell's home.
Sho found Murchell reading beforo
an open lire, his cheeks slightly pale
and sunken, but his eyes clear and
bright. Ho rose, with an ease that
did not betoken approaching dissolu
tion, to relieve her of tho basket shak
ing hands warmly.
"I'm very glad to sco you, Itobertn.
Take a chair."
Sho seated herself primly. "You don't
look ns bad as they say." She observ
ed him suspiciously.
"Roberta," ho said lugubriously,
"tho doctors tell mo that even with
"Did you bring all these for me, Rob
erta?" the best of care I can llvo only a fow
years and that's thanks to my good
constitution!"
"A few years!" she sniffed. "What
did you expect, at your time of life?"
Ho thought it wise to change tho
subject and hurriedly leaned over,
raised tho napkin and peered Into the
basket.
"Why! Did you bring all these for
me, Roberta? That was very thought
ful of you."
"I guess you don't need them. Ire
tendiug to bo sick to get people's sym
pathy because you've been beaten."
Ho smiled, not In nmusemont, at her
asperity. "It's llko you to cover up
a kind act with sharp words. What
an escape the men hud that you
wouldn't marry!"
"There weren't any to escape."
"Yes, there wore. I remember that.
You were what they call a beauty,
weren't you? Why," ho asked In sud
ien curiosity, "didn't you marry some
no of them?"
"Bocnuse." sho said simply, "you
were too busy being in love with Anno
Dunmeade to notice me."
"Eh? I why, Roberta!" Ho stared at
her blankly. 'Then his manner quickly
softened. Bhe perceived tho change
und drew herself up even more stltlly,
If that were possible. Her lips straight
ened lu a severe, thin Hue.
"You needn't be sorry for me. I
have been glad I escaped, ever since
I found out the kind of man you were.
I'd have made 11 man out of you."
"I guess," he smiled grimly, "you'd
havo found it u hard Job, as you seem
to measure men. But I guess you
could have, if any ono could."
She turned on him lit a little unex
pected gust of fierceness. "But not
the kind of man you are! Not a cow
ard to quit fighting tho very first
time you aro beaten. I thought you
wero ono when you left your regiment
beforo Gettysburg, but I excused you
oil tho plea that we needed men at
home too. But now" Her unfinish
ed sentenco was eloquent.
His astonishment was genuine "Eh!
I believed you thought mo a bad man.
You ought to bo glad I was beaten."
"But John says you're a better man
than Sherrod."
"Only," Murcliell amended, shrewdly
guessing, "ho put It that Sherrod is n
worse man thnn I am, didn't' ho? I
don't believe I'm a coward. A few
months ago I did Intend to quit I was
very tired and my sickness was com
ing on. But now itobertn, can you
keep a secret?"
"I'vo kept ono for forty years."
"So you have! Well, the other day I
got my doctor to tell mo tho things I
must eat and must not eat to keep
i2 na innir as DossiDio ana men com
him to go to 'tile devil. Roberta, it was
the first time I've sworn since I Joined
tho church."
Miss Roberta kept her smiles for rare
occasions. "I wish I could have heard
you." Which concession she imme
diately negatived by adding, "I sup
pose you're going to do the same kind
of thing over agnln."
"Roberta, you're tho most consistent
ly inconsistent person In the world.
You mean am I going to turn reform
er? You can't teach an old dog new
tricks."
"Not if he doesn't want to learn, I
expect."
Sho rose to go. He followed her ex
ample, though urging her to remain.
Sho went a fow steps toward the door,
then suddenly turned and walked back
to face him.
"Why don't you help John?"
It was his turn to stiffen angrily.
"You ask that after tho way he at
tacked me nnd created a sentiment
against me that paved tho way for
Sherrod to beat me? He's responsible
for Sherrod's getting on top, do you
know that? I gave him a chance five
years ago, and ho wouldn't take It. I
will do nothing for him.
"And besides," ho added more mild
ly, "he wouldn't let me help him In tho
only way I could."
"I wasn't thinking of him. He doesn't
need you. You need him."
His astonishment was genuine as she
left. He went to a window where ho
could watch her, still stiffly upright as
a grenadier, breasting the March gale.
He tried to recall how she had ap
peared when sho was young, for she,
too, all unknown to him, must have
marked a phase in the life of the young
man who onco had bren. When she
had passed out of sight he returned to
his chnir.
His book was forgotten.
The Hon. G. Washington Jenkins had
been of tho faithful at a time when
heresy was profitable; hence his tall,
Lincoln-like figure was one of tho few
that were not turned inhospitably nway
from Murchell's door.
He was in New Chelsea a few days
after Miss Roberta's neighborly errand.
"Wash," asked tho senator abruptly,
"how'd you like to be a candidate for
governor?"
"I'd like it," said Wash honestly.
"Suppose," Murchell suggested, "you
begin a campaign for delegates. We
could uso tho delegates, even if we
couldn't uso you," ho added thought
fully. The congressman Bmiled faintly.
They discussed the matter at length.
As Jenkins was leaving, his host re
marked earnestly, "Hereafter consult
only with Greene. Don't come hero.
I'm out of politics."
Neither gentlemnn smiled.
When the Honorable Jenkins re
turned to Washington, ho reluctantly
admitted to an interrogative reporter:
"No, I'm afraid tho senator is in a
bad way. I don't think he'll ever go
back Into politics."
Of John Heath you have never
heard. Unhonored and unsung until
this hour, he has remained in that
shadowy obscurity for which he was
designed. And no man ever saw
him.
It was at a crucial time for those
whom this chronicle concerns when
Jerry Brent and John Dunmeade were
marching from Dan to Becrshoba nnd
back and iaborlng, with a patience
worthy of larger results, to rally tho
slender hosts of reform; when Stephen
nampden was risking his all in one
wild throw for vast fortune and War
ren Blake was following that daring
example; when the Consolidated Coal
company was making many happy by
declaring a dividend of 7 per cent.
In the kingdom things were awry.
The rival monarch was thundering at
tho gates. Worse still, there was dis
affection In tho very source of
dominion, in the army. And the min
ister In power chose this hour to get
drunk! Anxious glances wero being
cast toward the deposed minister In
his self exacted exile. Royal messen
gers were being sent galloping post
haste to him to urge him, with fine,
unconscious Irony, for the sake of past
favor, to speak the word that would re
iore concord among the mutinous
regiments. But the ominous silence
continued unbroken.
At such a juncture, we say, John
neath stepped In to deflect the courso
of history.
Came to tho exile, not many days aft
er Miss Roberta, a messenger not un
der royal seal. Secretary, we may call
him, to tho now minister, having cur
ried favor by desertion of the old.
Ho was visibly perturbed and would
not desist from his Importunities un
til admitted to the presenco of tho
exile. Even then, such was ills fever
ish haste, lie did not notlco In his
host, as Miss Roberta had done, a
vigor inconsistent with certain rumors
rife, no plnngcd ut ouco Into tho mat
ter In hand.
"We've got Sherrod locked up In a
room at tho hotel. He's drunk ns a
lord and threatens to throw himself
Into tho river!"
"Well-let hlra!" said Murchell, grim
ly heartless.
"But" cried tho messenger, "It may
bo something to bring on a revolution
that will sweep us all Sherrod, Pan
rott, me you off tho face of the
earth."
"I," responded Murchell calmly, "am
out of politics and don't care. What
do you want mo to do?"
"Como with mo to tho capital, find
what's wrong and straighten it out."
"Go to Parrott."
"Parrott's a fourflusher. This Is
critical."
"I won't do It. It's trouhlo of your
own making. Got yourselves out of It"
Tho messenger sprang to his feet
and began to pace the floor swiftly.
TXn assumed to Instruct a master-
With wlfd" gesticulation and' passlbn
nto phrase ho sketched tho Impending
calamity. The times woro rlpo for a
revolution. These unutternblo fools,
Dunmeade nnd Brent, with their Inces
sant claok about bosses and graft
woro getting tho peoplo stirred up.
There was trouble In the air ho, tho
speaker, could feel It The organiza
tion was falling to pieces.
"Do you think," Murchell Inquired
cnlmly, "Sherrod's short In his ac
counts?" "I don't know. There nre books I
can't see without exciting suspicion.
And I can't get nothing out of him."
Tho swift pacing ceased nbroptly.
The messenger confronted Murchell.
"Who," ho demanded, "Is John
Heath?"
"I don't know," nnswercd Murchell
truthfully.
"Within less than two years he has
received from the stato more'n nine
hundred thousand dollars for special
services!"
"Nine hundred, thousand dollars!
What is John Heath?"
"I don't know. But I think ho may
bo-h-1!"
The messenger flopped Into his chair,
helping himself, uninvited, to a cigar.
Murchell, ns though taking up a task
that tho other had left unfinished, rose
and in his turn began to pace the floor.
After a few minutes he went out of
the room, still without speaking. He
did not reappear for almost a quarter
of an hour. But then ho wore a hat
and nn overcoat and was carrying a
light leather grip.
"Como along," ho commanded. "The
hack's waiting."
Tho guest went along with alacrity.
When they had reached the Steel City
and had changed enrs for the capital
train Murchell went to their stateroom
and was soon, to all outward appear
ances, sound asleep.
At that mystic hour which we are
told is the darkest of all two men were
sitting in a hotel room. Ono, Wntkins,
sat stretched out before the dying Are,
yawning wistfully for the sleep of
which twenty-four hours' guard duty
had robbed him. A litter of newspa
pers on the floor around him showed
how he had beguiled the slow vigil.
The other, Sherrod, was slouched in a
rocker by the table, head drooped for
ward on his breast and hands hanging
Inertly at his sides. The red rimmed
eyeballs wero hnlf closed. Drunk evi
dently, and more than that. Occasion
ally his lips moved; senseless mutter
ings came from them.
Steps along the hall, and thero was a
guarded knock at the door. He opened
a cautious crack, peeped out and then
threw it open eagerly. Murchell and
the messenger entered. Watklns seized
Murchell's hand Joyfully.
"Thank tho Lord!" he exclaimed. "I
couldn't havo stood it much longer."
Sherrod seemed to hear the voice.
He opened his eyes and stared at the
newcomers glasslly. Then a lightning
flash of intelligence seemed to pene
trate his stupor.
"Murchell!"
Ho managed to stagger to his feet.
Then a last wave of drunkenness swept
over him. ne fell, sprawling, uncon
scious on tho floor.
"He ought," said Murchell, "to have
a Turkish bath."
