SYNOPSIS
Senator Murchcll, leader of the state
Buichtne, and Shcchan, local boss of New
Chelsea, offer the nomination for district
ttorney to John Dunmeade. Dunmeade
la Independent In his political Ideas.
Dunmeade -will accept the nomination.
HU father, a partisan Judge, congratu
lates him. His Aunt Roberta urges John
to call on Katherlno Hampden, daughter
of a capitalist.
Katherlno Hampden is a worshiper of
jruccess. She and John aro friends. Jere
mjr Applegate, a political dependent, cam
tl" for John and the stato ticket.
In Nedr Ch"elsea lives "Wirren 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
fi Je. w nails upon Katherlno.
Katherlne's peril In a runaway re
veals to her and John their unspoken
olve. John publicly "turns down"
the machine of his party.
John will not compromise with his
conscience oven for the sake of win
ning Kathorlne, and the two part.
Tho course of his son is disapproved by
Judco Dunmeade. John Is elected and
puts Sheehan on trial for political corrup- I
Hon.
Bheehan Is convicted and flees. John
meets Ilalg, a novelist, who Is introduced
to him by Warren Blake.
Halg and John visit tho Hampdens.
Blake proposes to Katherlno and Is re
jected. Ho praises John to her. Murchell
has a visitor.
Tho visitor Is Sackott, head of tho
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
Katherlno meet.
She still thinks John a follower of Im
possible ideals. Ho loses in his fight for
cleanliness In stato politics and falls 111.
Murchcll offers financial aid to tho Dun
meades.
John recovers and continues his fight,
aided by Ilalg. In the Steel City ho meets
Kathorlne, who Is courted by Gregg, a
financially successful man.
Murchell loses control of tho machine to
Sherrod and retires nominally from poli
tics. Sherrod gets drunk, and a messen
ger Is sent to Murchell for aid.
Sherrod has embezzled $900,000 of state
money. Murchell resumes control after
aiding his foe to conceal the crime and
make restitution.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Tho Honey Pot.
OIIN DUNMEADE had
thought that anticipation
a would rob defeat of its
sting. Not until the event,
until Benton county, his own neigh
bors, had repudiated him could ho ,
measure tho hurt There was one thing
which he would do deep down within
him was the unworded resolve that it
should be his valedictory.
"There's something," he told Halg, a
week after the primaries, "that has
been haunting me."
And he told tho other what Sheehan
had said concerning the bank,
"Well, whnt business is It of yours?
You aren't tho guardian of tho publle
morals. Even If you want to be, the
people have just clearly declared that
they don't. Keep out of what Isn't
j-our affairs."
"But I'm still district attorney."
"All right. If anything happens or
any one makes official information be
fore the end of your term, prosecute,"
"But I understand my duty to Include
uncovering crime ns well as prosecut
ing what others expose. I'll ask Blake
to let mo go over tho books."
"He won't let you, of course.
iThere'd bo a crash."
"I think he will," said John thought
fully, "if nothing Is wrong. Especially
when ho understands that, if ho
doesn't, I'll subpoena him with the
books before the grand Jury. If there's
nothing wrong, there will bo no crash.
But I have friends who have money
nnd stock lu the bank. And If our
political bank history is repeating Itself
they and tho public have tho right to
know It."
"John," nalg nrgued earnestly, "don't
you do It. Haven't you had enough?
What's tho uso of making more trou
ble nnd enemies for yourself?"
"I know," John said patiently. "I've
gone over nil that. This Is my Inst
crusade. But It goes through. Be-
cause, If there's nuythlng amiss, now
is tho timo for it to como out, while
it can help Jerry Brent."
"Great Scott! navo you still faith
In tho people? Don't you know what
they'll do, If you uncover anything?
Just sniff daintily around and then
walk off to voto for Sherrod or Jen-
kins or whoever tho gangs noml -
nate. I think It very possible that
things nrcn't straight at tho bank,
But I llko you and I llko Warren
Blake he's a good friend of yours,
im
too and I don't want to seo him in ,Murchcll did not look nt Blake or
trouble. Besides," ho grinned, "none1'nnnipden. From under wrinkled brows
of my money la deposited In tho
bank,
"Is that all you have to offer for tho
defense? If It ls-r-nro you comlntr
along to help mo or not?"
"I suppose," Hnlg grumbled, "I'll
have to. You need a guardian angel."
So It happened that at a critical time
in tho fortunes of the bank nnd Its) offi
cers John nnd Ilalg set out on their
mission, They chose an hour early In
tho evening, nfter supper. They tried
tho bnnlt first. It would be closed, but
wltHln, as nil New Chelsea know, War
ren Blake was apt to be found faith
fully nt the work that never seemed
to end.
Tho dark grceu window shndes had
been closely pulled down, but n glim
mering around the edges showed that a
light was burning within. Blake might
have been expecting them, so promptly
was the door thrown open when they
rapped. Surprise, however, wns de
picted on his face when he behold the
visitors.
"Good evening, gentlemen. Can I do
something for you?"
"We'd like to have a little talk with
you, Warren," said John. "It concerns
tho bank."
"The bank?"
Suddenly Wnrren by some strange in.
tuition knew, as lie hnd known that tho
market would nag, whnt this untimely
visit portended. He felt the blood
leave his face and rush to his heart.
His hands and feet became Icy cold,
no stared stupidly at the visitors, as
though his faculties were benumbed.
"I I'm pretty busy tonight," he said.
"Can't you put it off until Monday?"
"I think we'd better talk it over now,
Warren," John nnswered.
Tho sense of shock seemed to pass
away. The cnshler threw the door
wider open to admit them. "Come in,"
ho said quietly. They entered, and ho
closed and locked the door behind them.
Then he straightened up, all composure,
to face them.
"I'll have to ask you to bo brief. I'm
preparing some papers for Senator Mur
chcll and Mr. nninpdcn, nnd they'll be
here soon."
"I'll come right to the point," John
answered. "Warren, I want to see
the books of tho bank. I've heard that
you aro carrying a good deal of worth-
less political paper and that the bauk
is in danger. I want to verify or dis
prove that."
"That's absurd. The bank Is per
fectly safe. And, of course, we can't
let you see tho books. You nreu't
even a stockholder and have no in
terest In them."
"Warren," said nalg hastily, putting
his hand on the cashier's shoulder, "I
bog you to do ns he asks. We're hero
in a wholly friendly way. And, of
course, the bank is sound. You can
rely on Dunmeade and me to do abso
lutely nothing, in that case, to harm It."
Warren shook his head. "You ought
to know that It is out of tho question."
"Then," said John regretfully, "I'll
have to subpoena you to appear with
the books before the grand jury on
Monday." IIo drew forth two docu
ments, ono of which ho gave to Blake.
I "I suggest that you wait and explain
I your errand to Murchell and Ilamp
I den. They will be here soon. Just
take chairs in tho cage. While we're
waiting I'll finish my work," said
BInke.
He ushered them Into the cage,
found chairs, offered cigars and, po
litely excusing himself, retired into
the cnshler's office and settled himself
nt tho desk. For a few minutes he
worked, with a speed that was not
nervous haste, transcribing figures
from the book before hlin and adding
up columns. Then ho wrote a few
lines and carefully blotted them.
This done, he seemed to have come
to the end of his work. But he did
not return to John and nalg. Ho
seemed to have lost consciousness of
their proximity. Tho pen fell from
his fingers. Ills folded hands rested
passively on the desk, no sat motion
less, stating straight ahead into noth
ingness. Under the gaslight his face
showed very white. A heavy, uncanny
silence desceuded upon the three men.
There carao a rap at tho door.
As though he had boon waiting for
Just that, Warren rose, went to tho
Joor and admitted tho new visitors.
They wore nampden and Murchell.
nnrapden wns tho first to notice the
presence of John and Halg.
"What nro they doing here?" he de
manded suspiciously.
"Come back Into tho office and we'll
explain," Wnrren nnswered. "You
pome, too," ho nodded to tho men with
in the cngo.
Tho five men gathered in the little
Mllco. No one sat down or offered to
shake hand-. Warren broke tho silence
calmly.
"Dunmeade wants to examine tht
books."
"Well, he can't do it." Hampden said
quickly.
"So I told him," Wnrren continued
"And he followed the request up by
serving me with n subpoena to appear
with the books before tho grand jury."
"Why nro you doing this?" Muiehcll
demanded of John
"Because I have information that the
Lank is carrylng'worthless political pa
per nnd is rotten, I hovo it from one
who has helped manipulate such paper
i from ono, in fact, whose notes, sup
posed to bo uncollectable, tho bank Is
now trying to collect."
"And on general suspicion you would
toko an action that might ruin the
, soundest bank in the country?"
"Not on general suspicion," John re-
turned. "But on nbsoluto knowledge,
There!" IIo pointed to Blake's face,
1 "Ami there!" nalg's dry, shrill voice
was like tho crack of a whip as ho
aimed a long, lean forefinger nt nainp
don. Tho latter recoiled as from a
blow.
. his eyes were boring deep into Jobu's,
seeking to test tho strength of the lat-
ter's determination, IIo saw only ono
way nutt boldly li inrii it
"You can sec the books. Now 'J"
"Wo may as well begin now. It will
tnko some time, I suppose."
Hampden, vainly trying to regain an
appearance of composure, tremblingly
eat down. For n mlnuto Warren said
nothing. When ho did speak It was in
a low, lifeless voice.
"I can savo you tho trouble. The
statement I have been prcpnrlng for
Senator Murchcll contains what yon
wnnt, I think. This Is It." Ho pointed
to tho papers lying on bis desk.
Slowly, mechanically, ns ono walking
in sleep, he gathered up the boolra on
tho desk and carried them from the
office to the vault. John saw Wnrren
put tho books in their places, then fum
ble around in a corner of the shelf.
Warren seemed to feel his presence,
for, hand still resting on the shelf, ho
turned to face John. Then the hand,
grasping n black, shining thing, leaped
from tho shelf to his head. .Tohn'3 cry
and the shot rang out together.
For an instant tho body swayed,
then crumpled In a heap on the floor.
Four stunned men, held in a korriblo
fascination, knelt by tho ghastly thing,
dumbly watching tho struggle of that
which is called life to free itself from
its prison of flesh. Of these men,
three of them, each In anguish, wns
calling himself murderer.
For nearly an hour an eternity
shaken to the very center of their be
ings, they kept the death watch. There
was a shiver that passed over the
whole body then stillness.
Halg was the first to recover himself.
He caught John by tho arm and drew
him away. "Come back here." no

drew John into tho office and forced
him to
sit down. "And you two.
come."
Murchell seemed to como out of Ma
daze. He touched Hampden, who fol
lowed him docilely nnd fell Into a
chair.
T seem to be tho only one with a
trace of sanity left. And I," said Halg
grimly, mopping his brow with a shak
ing hand; "I am pretty far gone. God,
didn't know it could be so awful!
But we've got to decide whether we'll
let this how and why It happened
come out. By some miracle nobody
seems to have heard. If the luck holds
we may bo nble to keep it quiet." He
looked at Murchell.
But a great change seemed to have
come over the politician during the
racking hour, nis face was ashen; he
looked old ns ho never had before.
All the firm self reliance, the habit of
domination, justified through so many
crises, seemed to have broken down in
the presence of sudden, violent death.
fle shook his head In a hopeless nega
tive.
"There's no use trying," he said wea
rily, "If you go ahead with this Investi
gation." lie turned to John. "It's for
you to decide. If this is kept quiet and
you don't go on I can save the bank
maybe. But if you do go on there'll be
a great scandal nnd I can do nothing.
And you've got to understand tho sit
uation you'll havo to prosecute namp
den here."
John did not nnswer. IIo was star
lag at the face of Warren Blake.
Ilalg mopped his forehead again
"Let's get out of here," he muttered
nervously. "If I stay much longer with
-that I'll be a gibbering idiot."
He took tho dead cashier's keys
from the desk, turned out tho light
and wont to the door. The others
followed.
They forgot to close tho vault. But
it was well guarded.
New Chelsea had been long asleep,
the streets emptied, when Ilalg and
Murchell, nccompanled by tho doctor
and undertaker stockholders In tho
bank nnd frightened Into secrecy
drove a roundabout courso by side
streets nnd alleys to tho rear door
of tho bank. Llko thieves, they entered
and carried what lay thoro out to tho
carriage. Then thoy drove away, pray
ing that no untimely passerby had
chanced to observo them.
But tho luck held.
Latpr still, ,wth another picture n
little, faded old woman become in an
instant a foolishly smiling child burnt
Into their memories, Halg and Mur
chell emerged from tho homo of Wnr
ren Blake. Halg stopped, looking up.
"I wonder what John Dunmeade Is
going through Just now? I can see
the end. Tho good have no luck.
There's a curso on tho man responsible
for this night Old man, do you but
1
amPB founnal will havo to discuss
the matter of payment."
no caught the other by the shoul
ders, peered closely Into his face nnd.
laughing harshly, turned away.
Through a night that seemed endless
n mnn fought a bnttlo old ns sin itself,
no had sought the solitude of the fields
In a blind, vain wish to escape the
Issue and tho thing that filled his eyes,
no had come so nenr to greatness.
And now, nt an hour when ho seemed
most to need stimulus and support, he
was brought face to face with the
temptation to desert. It wns1 ono thing
in a moment of dlsheartenment to cry,
ns ho had cried to himself. "I havo
come to the cud." It was far different
wiien opportunity had come to revive
a sinking cause to stay his hand, ne
know he had but to reach out to dis
close, not nn Excallbur rising out of
the waters to lend Invincibility to
him who would wield It, but a new
prod for a calloused people, one fact
the more to add to the knowledge,
whose cumulative power in tho end
would must carry tho people for
ivard, upward.
It was Hampden, Katherlno and
John Dunmeade against tho people.
And what did ho owe the people, tho
calloused fools whoso knowledge, if
not complete, was yet full enough to
show them whither they were going
and whither they must turn, but who
trudged contentedly on, indifferent to
all but tho present profit, thinking
'only of self, repudiating nnd sneering
nt those who offered honest service
and counsel? The balance was all
against them and In his favor. Let
some one else now take up the task
to which John Dunmeade had been
unequal!
IIo saw Stephen Hampden cowering,
a suddenly broken, fear palsle,d man,
before tho death agony, looking with
a kind of wistfulness on the dying
man's face, ns though In Wnrren
Blake's example ho saw a way out of
the tangle. A troop of miserable, piti
able figures marched before him Slay
ton, Brown, Parsons, Sheehan, Blake
men whom he had punished, whose
lives he had shattered or taken In his
crusade to what end? Their places
had been taken by other men of like
kind, tho world no better, no wiser,
so far as he could see. Behind the
troop marched a regiment of men and
women, his neighbors, whose little
savings would be lost, did the bank
fall through his disclosures, but might
be preserved If Murchell's promise to
intervene was kept. Was there not
more virtue In mercy than in punish
ment? For long, In tho fear of the man who
knows himself weakening, he refused
to face the crucial fact. But ho had
to come to It to her nt last. He
saw her as he had last seen her, the
rose lu bloom, a strong woman re
fined and softened by some heart pro
cess of which he knew nothing. If he
went forward ho must cloud tho splen
dor nnd beauty of her womanhood
with dlsgrnco and suffering. lie re
volted against the thought why must
she, innocent, and nt his hand, be
made to suffer tbe penalty that others
had earned? Could he strike the blow?
It made no difference that she had
flouted him for unworthy things. As
once before nothing that she could
say had added to tho temptation that
lay In her very existence, so now noth
ing that she had done could take from
tho foct of his love. For It lived, no
could find through tho years In uncens
ing work an anodyne to deaden the
ache, but on this Mount Olivet It lived
ngain. n throbbing passion that sub
merged nil tilings else. He had not
tho strength of God. ho told himself.
He could not be so merciless to her,
to him ppI.
He fled homeward In the waning light
and prayed feverishly for daylight.
By his window, ns once he hnd
watched a dawn of promise, he saw It
come, but without promise. At last,
the battle ended, too tired to seek his
bed. ho fIl asleep In the chair.
CHAPTER XIX.
Tho Vulnerable Heel,
onx was nwakened by the
ringing of n church bell.
It wns a clear morning, the
sun shining brilliantly. The
peace of the Sabbath lay over all.
Along Molu street moved, with sedate
stride, the weekly procession of church
goers. Not even the news which they
would receive In church, thnt Warren
Blake had dropped dead of heart fail
ure-grim jest! would disturb their j
gravity. For the news would be ao-1
companled by assurances from Sunator I
Murchell and Stephen Hampden that
the bauk would bo In nowise affected.
John rose from his seat by the win
dow nnd, obedient to tho command of
habit, made his morning toilet. When
ho wns dressed he returned to tho win
dow He wns very tired. Ills will, as
though worn out by the scene and
struggle of tho night, could not shake
off tho heavy mental nnd physical lassi
tude that oppressed him. Once he tried
to recall tho horror ho hod seen, but
his inert mind balked.
With sluggish curiosity ho watched
the figure of a woman walking down
tho street. Not until sho turned in nt
tho gate did ho recognize her. There
wns no glad start. On tho contrary, a
muttered, querulous protest escaped
him. IIo did not wish to seo her Just
then.
Reluctantly ho rose nnd went' down to
tho library. Sho was standing at a
southern window through which tbe
sun poured n golden flood, Sho heard
him enter nnd turned. IIo halted Just
within the door. For a moment, silent,
they looked at each other across tho
sunlit room.
It wns sho who, with tho brave dl
rectness that had always been hers,
first broke tbe silence.
"I havo heard what what happened
last nlgllt Atid" fDXYcfcomo to' ask
you to do nothing thnt will harm my
father."
Uuconsclously his face darkened. It
wns not becauso of her request, but
because of tho picture sho recalled.
"I suppose it was for that. You
have" IIo would havo said, "no need
to ask." But she misunderstood and
interrupted quickly.
"I hnve no right to ask this or any
thing of you? I know that, more
clearly than you can tell me. I put
you In tho way of unhnpplncss and
then chose against you for things for
thlugs of no value. It may give you
some satisfaction to know that they
are gone though you can hardly be
lieve that tho tasto for them went
first.
"I my father and Senator Murchell,
the men who will profit by your
silence, deserve nothing at your hands,
at anybody's. I can't pretend that
they would show mercy to you. But
my father, at least, Is a broken man.
Last night took away his courage, no
believes Uiat ho is responsible for War
ren Blake's"
"No!" Sho saw him shudder and
draw back. "No! I, with my rash
ness, am to blamo for that."
"Ah! yon mustn't say that." Sho
took a step forward, eager in his de
fense. "I know what you've been
through and how it must have given
you tho horrors. But you mustn't say
that. Nobody could think It. You
only did your duty. But I'm afraid
for him. no Is half crazed from fear
and shock, I think I couldn't endure
many more nights llko last night. I'm
afraid. If It all comes out, he'll take
Warren Blake's way out"
"Don'il he cried roughly, as if In
pain. "I've gone over It nil."
"I'm not trying to frighten you. And
I didn't want to to come to you." Tho
steadiness was leaving her. She
thought she saw In his lack of re
sponse a hostile determination. "I
havo no right to nsk a man such as
you are to sacrifice himself, his con
science for such a man. 'I can offer
no no ndequnto return. But he Is my
father and It is not It can not bo so
very wrong to err on the side of
mercy. And once you said yon
enred"
"It was true. It has always been true!
What I will do will not bo becauso
you ask it. but because It Is for you.
And not for a price. And you haven't
thought it out very clearly, havo you?
what you mean Is Impossible in nny
case. If I wont on with the investigar
tlon you couldn't love tho man who
was prosecuting your father. And,
Just becauso you understand what Is
right in the case and aro what you
are, you couldn't respect and so
couldn't love the man who weakly did
what was wrong for him even for you.
And just now you nro .very anxious to
savo your father."
The flood of crimson ebbed. Sho
looked at him strangely. "Do you believe-that?"
"I know It. But you needn't bo
afraid any longer. Your father Is safe
so far as I am concerned. That was
settled before you came."
She turned from him in nn immeas
urable relief to look out of the window.
The voice of tho congregation rose
again In the closing hymn, "Onward,
Christian Soldiers."
Tho hymn ended. Sho raised her
head and faced him, unshed tears in
her eyes.

MRS. DEEMS.
Her Claim That She Is Un
biased Wife Is Controverted.
The "unklsscd wife" lias lost lier fame.
Her husband says 'taln't so. He says ha
kissed her night and day as ardent as a
beau. He says ho kissed his ma-ln-taw
as well as his own wife and thnt he
could have kissed her pa, but feared
there would be strife. He wants tho pub
llo all to know there's nothing to the
yarn that when he tried to kiss his wife
she hid down In the barn. Ho says that
when ho left his home to go to dally
work he never thought that In a kiss a
microbe dire might lurk. George Deems
took chances like a man and never miss
ed a kiss, but Bays In answer to wife's
suit he never kissed a miss.

.A Change.
Of the twenty-six barons who signed

Journal, three wroto their names nnd
twenty-three made their mark. This
Is all changed now. Every baron can
