CHAPTER XII.
Temptation.
WHEN Stuart had seated him
self on a luxurious leather
covered chair in the little
Bitting room bo gazed Into
the flickering flro with a fooling of
etrango excitement
Ho could hear Blvens giving orders
to Ills employees about tho removal of
his millions to the vaults below. It
Would tako hours to complete tho task,
pe could hear tho deep vibrant ring of
tho gold, as tho men dumped It into
bags.
As he listened to tho curious sound
ho began dimly to realize that tho
foundations of his life and character
were being undermined. There could
bo no mistake about It, although he
had mado somo brave talk to Blvens
faco as ho stared at tho daring display
of his money.
He lifted his oyea from tho Are and
they rested on an exquisite miniature
of Kan which had been painted Just
after he marriage, no forgot tho ten
black years of loneliness and struggle.
Ho was standing beforo her again in
all the pride and strength of those last
days of passionate longing and bitter
rebellion. His heart gave a throb of
fierce protest against tho fato that had
robbed him of the one thing on earth
ho had ever really desired. Ho tried
In vain to tseparato her from th6 strug
gle of character and principle he was
fighting with Blvens.
When Blvens entered he found his
tall figure bent low In tho chair and a
bcowI on his faco. Tho llttlo black eyes
sparkled with the certainty of victory.
He know tho poison was at work and
its wine had found tho soul.
"Now, Jim, down to business! You
can see that I havo tho cosh. What
I must havo to do the big thing I've
dreamed Is a right hand man whom
x cuu Lxuov viiu my iwiney, my uouy
and my soul. He must bo a man with
brains and farseelng eyes. A man
who will fight to tho death and bo loyal
with every breath, who will work
day and night, a man of iron nerve,
Iron muscle and a heart of steel. Come
in with mo, Jim, for all you'ro worth,
with all your brain and will and per
sonality, without a single reservation,
and I'll glvo you a partnership of one
fourth Interest in my annual Income,
and I'll guarantee that It shall never
be less than a million a year."
Btuart sprang to his foot and stared
at Blvens, gasping.
"You mean this aro you serious? I
expected tho offer of a generous salary,
Col, but this is simply stunning.''
"I told you IM mako yoa a proposi
tion so big and generous you couldn't
get away frm it. But mind you, I've
tho best reasons for making It We
aro entering tho last phase of a world
struggle for financial Supremacy. This
country is to be tho real center of
modern power. Wo must bocomo and
will bocomo quickly the economic
masters of tho world. When that hap
pens somebody Is going to bo master
hero."
, Blvens rose and paced back and forth
by Thomas Dixon
a moment.
"Somebody's going to bo master here,
Tim," he repented, "and it's not going
to be a mob, the stupid, howling, slob
bering thing that clutched at your
throat that day in front of my bank."
"No."
"Nor will it bo a clumsy soulless cor
poration called a 'trust' either, a
thing that can bo badgered and hound
ed by every hungry, thieving politician
who gets Into ofllce. The coming mas
ter of masters, tho king of kings will
be a man a man on whose imperial
word will hang tho fato of empires. I
met the king of America the other
day in tills panic, no sent for me.
You can bet I answered the call. He
made mo eat dirt and swear that I
liked tho taste of it But I'll get even
with him yet!"
Tu-o livid spots suddenly appeared
on tfe swarthy cheeks and ho choked
Into silence for a moment continuing:
"The world is waiting for its real
master not a multi-millionaire, but the
coming billionaire, Tho king of kings
is yet to come. If I had been ready
in this panic with tho capital I havo
today I could have mado a billion.
With tho power and experience I now
have and one snch man as you on
whom I can depend I'd double my
fortune every year. That moans that
in five years I will bo a billionaire,
and only forty-two.
"A billion dollars will double Itself
In seven years. At forty-two Td bo
worth a billion. At forty-nine I'd
have two billions. At fifty-eight Td
bo worth four billions and Just old
enough to really begin to do things.
"Give mo one billion answerable to
my will alone and I can rulo this
nation. Glvo mo four billions and
no king or emperor, president or par
liament on Oils globe daro to mako
peace or war without consulting mo.
"now long could tills republic stand
if such a man should see fit to change
its form? Even now our petty million
aires buy courts and legislatures, and
tho control of great cities. But the
new king would know no limitations
to this power. If Europe now cringes
at the feet of our present millionaire
king of Wall street emperors beg his
favor and princes wait at his door,
what could the real ruler of the world
do?"
Blvens' voice again sank Into low,
passionate whispers, while his black
eyes again became two points of fierce
gleaming light
When tho crucial moment came for
Stuart's manhood to answer, the
speech of bravo denunciation died on
his lips. At tho door of this yellow
empire, mightier than kings in purple
rule, his conscience halted, hesitated
and stammered. Ho found himself,
in spite of honor and character, for
the moment measuring himself with
Blvcns m tho struggle for supremacy
which would sooner or later come be
tween them if he should enter such
an alliance.
"You needn't rush your decision,
Jim. Take your time. Think it over
from every point of view. You'ro
bound to accept in tbo end."
Stuart flushed and his hand trembled.
"IfB no uso in my quibbling, Cal,
your offer is a stirring one It tempts
me Immensely. I feel tho call of thn
old blood struggle in me. I'm begin
ning to see now that tho world's battles
ro no longer fought with sword and
gun."
"Take your time, Jim," Blvcns broke
in, rising. "In tho meantime IVo got
to soo more, of yoa. Nan wants It, and
I want tt Tho politicians havo turned
you down, but tho big men who count
are afraid of yoa and they'll go out
of their way to meet you. Come up to
dinner with us tonight I want you to
make my homo your homo whether you
accept my offer or not"
Btuart hesitated.
"Beally, Cal, I oughtn't to go to
night I'm afraid rvo let you take
too much for granted. I've got to fight
this thing out alone. Ifs tho biggest
thing physically and morally I've over
been up against I've got to bo alone
for awhile."
"Oh, nonsense, bo alone as much as
you like la tea Nan Insisted on my
bringing you tonight and you've got
to come, to save me from troublo if
nothing else, rvo an engagement down
town after dinner. You and Nan can
talk over old times. I promiso you
faithfully that not a word of busi
ness shall bo spoken."
Stuart felt the foundations of life
slipping beneath his feet and yet he
couldn't keep bade the answer:
"All right, m 00 me."
As Stuart dressed for tho dinner that
nhtht ho thwight of njtrrM. .with 0
pan'g. Tie Wi prcafesa tier to try to
keep out of danger. But could she
know or understand tho struggle
through which he was passing? Ho
wondered vaguely why ho had seen so
little of her lately. She had become
more and moro absorbed In her music,
and her manner had grow shy and
embarrassed. Yet whenever ho had
resented It and stopped to lounge and
chat and draw her out sho was always
her old sweet self. The doctor, too,
had avoided him of late, and ho notic
ed that his clothes had begun to look
shabby. Ho caught him hurrying from
the house and laid his hand affection
ately on his arm.
"Those are tough times, doctor, and
if you need any help you must let
mo know."
Tho older man's volco trembled as he
replied:
"Thank you, my boy, that's a very
unusual speech to hear theso days. It
renews my faith in tho world."
"You'ro not In trouble?"
Tho doctor lifted his head gently.
"My troubles aro so much lighter
than those of the people I know I
cant think of them. So many of my
friends and patients havo given up
In tills panic. So many havo died for
the lack of bread. I'll let you know
If I'm In troublo myself."
He paused and pressed Stuart's
hand.
"I'm glad you asked mo. The sun
will shine brighter today. I must
hurry."
With a swing of his stalwart form
and a generous wave of his hand ho
was gone.
When Stuart reached the drive ho
alighted and walked slowly toward the
Blvens palace. He had never boon
there before, ne had always avoided
the spot Ho smiled now at tho child
ishness of his attitude toward Nan.
Tho full moon had Just risen and
flooded tho drive and park and river
with silvery mystery, no studied tho
effects of tho building with wonder
and admiration. Evidently Blvens had
given his architects a free hand and
they had wrought a poem In marble.
So fascinated was Stuart with tho
beauty and perfection of the great
house he walked around tho block 1m
foro entering, viewing It from every
angle. What a strange thing, this
medieval palace, standing In stately
beauty in tho midst of the hideous,
ugly uniformity of the most modern,
unromantlc and materialistic city of
the world! What was Its meaning?
nad a new master of tho world real
ly been born? Surely his like had
never been seen In tho history of man
this modern money maniac, this
strange creature of Iron muscles, al
ways hurrying, daring, scheming, plot
ting, with never a moment's relaxation.
Stuart was shown Into tho drawing
room by a powdered flunky whose cos
tume was designed by one of tho court
tailors of Europe. While awaiting tho
arrival of the mistress of tho house ho
looked about the room with increasing
amazement, no found tho perfection
of grace, elegance, quiet richness and
surprising beauty.
Ue began to realize for tho first time
the triumph of tho woman who . had
bartered him for gold, nis eye rested
on a lifo size portrait of Nan done by
tho foremost artist of Europe. The
artist had caught tho secret of her
character and expressed it with genius
in tho poise of tho superb form, tho
incarnation of sensuous, soulless beauty
dominated by keen Intelligence.
Ue wondered if she really showed
tho ten years added to her ago. At
least he knew that sho had not been
happy. There was somo consolation
in that Uer ceaseless efforts to win
back his friendship had left no room
for doubt lie sank deep into the great
chair and silently waited her coming.
When Nan's radiant figure appeared
in tho doorway, her bare arm 'extend
ed, her Hps parted In a tender smile,
Stuart knew that his faco was red.
The fact that ho know it increased his
confusion until tho wholo room became
a blur. Her hand touched his. Tho
shock was sobering; ho remembered
himself and smiled.
"What a long, long time, Jim!"
"A thousand years I think, Nan," he
stammered.
"Nino hundred, to bo exact sir, but
better late than never. I began to
think your stubbornness would post
pone this call until the next world.
Mr. Blvens was detained downtown on
business. I am awfully sorry he's not
here to Join In my welcome. But I
am disappointed In you."
"Why?"
"My vanity Is hurt I expected to
find you, after nino years, wjth deep
lines of suffering written on your face.
You are better looking than ever. The
fow gray hairs about your temples are
extremely becoming. Your honors have
given you a new repose, dignity and re
serve power."
"Allow mo to return tho compliment
by saying that you aro even a more
startling disappointment to mo. I was
sure that I should find you broken.
You are far more beautiful than over.
Tho only changos I sco merely add
to your power tho worldly wisdom
which marriage writes on every wom
an's face, a now strength, a warmth
and fascination and a conscious Joy at
which I wonder and rago,"
"Why wonder and rago?"
She drew him gently to a seat by her
side, leaned forward and gazed smil
ingly at him.
"When I sco you tonight in all this
splendor, so Insolently happy"
Nan sprang to hor feet laughing.
"You aro delicious tonight Jim, and
I'm so glad you are here. Come Into
tho art gallery. It will tako you days
to see it; wo'H Just peep in tonight"
Ho followed her Into a stately room
packed with masterpieces of art
Stuart gazed a moment in 'rapture.
"You must spend days hero, Jim.
Now, honestly, with all your high-
"What a long time, Jim!"
browed Ideals, wouldn't you like to own
this?"
"No. Not if I had the wealth of
Croesus."
"Why not?"
"It's a crime to rob tho world of
these masterpieces Of genius. They
should bo the free Inheritance and In
spiration of all tho children of men."
Nan gazed at Stuart in vague be
wilderment nnd then a mischievous
smile crept into tho corners of her
mouth.
"You'ro trying to throw dust in my
eyes, but I can tell you what you aro
really thlnklug. You aro really won
dering why tho wicked prosper."
"You nre wrong," he replied slowly.
"Why tho wicked prosper has never
worried me In the least Tho first big
religious Idea I over got hold of was
that this Is tho best possible world God
could have created because it's free.
Man must chooso, otherwise his deeds
have no meaning. A deed of mine Is
good merely because I havo the power
to do Its opposite If I chooso. In this
free world, step by step, I can riso or
fall through suffering nnd choosing."
"Oh, Jim," Nan broke in softly, "I've
mado you suffer horribly. You havo
the right to bo hard and bitter."
Ue looked at Nan cautiously and be
gan to study her every word and
movement and weigh each accent Did
sho mean what her words and tones
implied? In a hundred llttlo ways
moro eloquent than speech sho had
said to him tonight that tho old love
of tho morning of life was still tho ono
living thing. Ho put her to llttlo tests
to try the genuineness of hor feeling.
Ho threw off his restraint and led her
back to the scenes of their youth.
When dinner ended sho was leaning
close, her eyes misty with tears, nnd n
faraway look In them that told of
memories moro vivid and alluring
than all tho splendors of her palace
Stuart drew a breath of conscious tri
umph, and his figure suddenly grew
tenso with a desperate resolution. But
only for a moment
He frowned, looked at his watch
and rose abruptly.
"I must bo going, Nan," ho said with
sudden coldness.
"Why, Jim," sho protested, "It's only
10 o'clock. I wont hear of Buch a
thing."
"Yes, I must" ho persisted. "I've
an important caso tomorrow. I must
work tonight"
"You shall not gol" Nan cried. "I've
waited nino years for this ono even
ing's chat with you. Como into tho
music room, sit down and brood as
long as you Ilka. I've planned to
charm you with an old accomplish
ment of mine tonight"
Sho led him to a rich couch, piled
tho pillows high, made him snug, drew
a harp near tho other end and began
to tuno its strings.
Stuart gazed at tho paintings on tho
cellTng and In n moment was lost in
visions of tho future his excited fancy
began to weave.
A volco whispered:
"Unless you are a coward, grasp the
power that is yours by dlvino right of
nature. Why should you walk whllo
pygmies rldo? Why should you lag
behind tho age hi this fierce struggle
for supremacy? The woman who sits
beforo you is yours if you only daro
to tear her from tho man who holds
her by tho fiction of dying customs!"
He felt his heart throb as another
Poke within cried:
"Yet why should I, an heir to Im
mortality, whoso will can shape a
world, why should I live a beast of
prey with my hand against every
nan?"
The answer woe the memory of dirty
flngor nails closing ou his throat while
a mob of howling fools surged over
his body and cursed him for trying to
save them from themselves. Again bo
heard a woman's voice as sho held his
head close, whispering:
"Ivo something to say to you, Jim!"
His Hps tightened with sudden de
cision. Tho golden gates of tho for
blddon land swung open and. his soul
entered.
