THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
The
thought maybe you'd come back aome
day and be sure enough disappointed
if it were gone."
The younger man slipped from his
saddle and went to look In at the
open door of the old ranch house.
Everything was precisely as he re
membered it—the simple, old fashion
ed furniture, the crossed quirt* over
the high wooden mantel, his mother's
rocking chair—that was the final
touch. He sat down on the worn door
log and put his face In hi*
now the gaping chasm of the years
was quite closed, and he was a boy
again.
Later In the day there were am
bling gallops along the country roads,
and the father explained how the
transformation from cattle raising to
agriculture and fruit growing had
come about; how the great irrigation
dam in Quaretaro canyon had pot a
thousand square miles of the fertile
mesa under cultivation; how with tbe
inpourlng of the new population bad
come new blood, new method*, good
roads, tbe telephone, tbe rural mall
route and other civilising agencies.
Evan groaned. "1 know," he said.
"I've lost my blrthland. If* a* ex
tinct as the ' megalosaurian lizard*
whose bones we used to find sticking
in the gully banks on Table Mesa. By
thg way,, that remind* me. Are there
any of those giant foaaU* left? I was
telling Professor Anners about them
the other day, and he waa Immensely
Interested."
"We're all fossil*, we older folk* of
the cattle raising times," laughed tbe
man whom Richard Gantry had called
the "super governor." "But then an
some of the bone* left too, I gue**,
and If the professor is a friend of
yours we'll get him a state permit to
dig all he wants to."
"Yes, Professor Anners 1* a friend
of mine," was tbe younger man'* half
absent admission, "a* much of a
friend as his daughter would ever al
low blm to be."
The qualifying clause waa not
thrown away upon the senator.
"What has the daughter got against
you, son?" he asked mildly.
"Nothing very *erious," laughed Pa
tricia's lover. "But I think she' Is

"That'* Boston, Isn't It?" interrupted
the ex-cattle king. Then be added,
"I'm right glad It haaa't com* m year

'careers,' Evan, my boy." • . j
The young man felt better after b*
had told his father hi* love story. It
was highly necessary that ha should
tell aome one, and whom better?
David Blount listened with tbe far
away look In bis eyes that the aonbad
more than once marked a* the great
est of the changes chargeable to th*
aging year*.

father. That la what I am ont here

There wa» tbe wisdom of tbe esa

70a forget that I am M' unknown la

David Bloont waa chuckling softly.
"Sound* right funny to hear you talk
that way, eon," he commented. "Mighty

The young man, who was so lately
out of the- well considering east,
gasped.
"Heavens r he ejaculated. "You're

"No, net exactly a* a possibility, eon.

"I'm afraid we are a good many
mllaa apart, father," be said, uncon
sciously using one of his father's fa
vorite speech forma, when the pro
posal had been given time to alnk In.
"America la supposed to be a free
country with a repreaentatlve govern
ment Do yon mean to say that you
and a few of your friends can set

The farseelng eyes were twinkling
again. "Ob, I don't know about our
being so far apart," was the depreca
tory protest "You're just a llttls bit
long on theory, that's all, son. When
it comes down to the real thing

"In thla case It's the corporations—
the timber people, the Irrigation com
panies and, most of all, the railroads."
"Gantry seems to think that the rail
roads are persecuted, or his railroad at
least"
The senator pulled his horse down
to a still slower walk. "Where did
you see Dick Gantry?" he demanded.
Evan told of the meeting on the
veranda of the club, adding the fur
ther fact o/ the college friendship.
"Mat happened so. did it," queried
the senator, "that getting together last
Saturday night?"
"Why, yea; I suppose so. Dick
knew I was In Boston, and he said he
had meant to look me up."
"I reckon he did," was the quiet
comment; "yes, I reckon he did. And
be filled you up chock fall of Hard
wlck McVlckar's notions, of course. 1
guess that'a about what he was told to
do. But we won't fall apart on that,
aon. Tomorrow we'll go down to the
city, and >on can look the ground over
for youraelf. I want yon to draw
your own conclusions and then coma
nut tall ma what .you'd Ilk* to do.
Shall we leave it that way?"
Blount acquleaced, quite without
prejudice to a Arm conviction that his
opinion when formed was going to be
Uud on the merits of the case, upon
a fair and Judicial aummlng up of the
pro* and cons.
B* felt that It would be atrlking at
the very root of the tree of good gov
ernment to allow himself to be the
candidate of the machine. But, on
tb* other hand, be saw Instantly what
a pewer a fearless public proaecutor
could be in a misguided common
wealth where ithe lack was not of
good law*, but of men strong enough
and conrageoua enough to admlnlater
them.
He would see. If the good to be ac
complished was great enough to over
balance the evil—lt waa a temptation
to compromise, a sharp temptation,
and he found himself longing for Pa
tricia, for ber clear algbted comipent,
which, he felt sure, would go straight
to the heart of the tangle.
It waa that thought of Patricia and
his netd for ber that made him dla
tralt and ab*entmlnd*d at th* War-
trace Hall dinner table that evening,
and the father, looking on, auapected
that Evan's taciturnity waa an ex
pression of bla prejudice against the
woman who had taken bla mother's
place, and when the son, pleading
weariness, retreated early to Ills room
the suspicion was confirmed.
"You'll hare to be patient UilU) the
boy. little woman," said the master of
Wartrace when Evan had disappeared.
"1 shouldn't wonder If Boaton had put
some tight queer notion* into bis bead."
The Uttle lady looked up from her
embroidery frame with a whimsical
•mile wreathing Itself at the corners
of the sensitive mouth. "He la a dear
.boy," she said, "and be la trying aw
fully bard to bate me. But I shan't
let blm, David."
CIIAPTEU VI.
OS THE WI!*0 Or OCCASIONS.
FHOM the time It waa heralded
In the mammotb New Year'a
edition of the Plainsman as
"tbe newest, tbe finest and the
most luxurious hostelry west of tbe
Missouri" the lnter-Uountaln hotel In
the Sagebrush capital bad been the
gathering place of tbe political clana.
After the solid costliness of War
trace Hall and tbe thirty mUe spin In a
high powered roadster, which was only
one of tbe three high priced motor
carriages In tbe Wartrace garage, Evan
Blount waa not surprised to find bis
father registered In permanence for
one of tbe private dining room salts
at tbe Inter-Moantaln.
It wa* very evident that tbe simple
life which had been tbe rule of the
Circle Bar ranch houaeboid had be
come a thing of tbe past, and. though
be charged tbe new and extravagant
ocder of thing* to tbe ambition of hla
talker's wife, be could not cavil at It,
since he was hi— slf a sharer la its
aeaiftMe ao&iessrfea.
For the trst few days be was left
almost wholly to hla own devices. Be
yond giving Mm s coed many latro-
Oirtlsss ss the opportunities for them
came la tbe semlpabJic Ufe of the ho
ist his father made few demands upon
sad they mat only st luncheon
aad dinner, tbe trat of which was
■•vally served is their salt, while for
the latter they want to the cafe. Bat
Gantry waa hack, aad ha waa always

X. AHaeet before be realised It Bkmat
bed been pot la touch with the busy,
breesy life of tbe dty and waa ex
changing nods or handabaklags with
mare people than be had ever known
ta Cambridge or Baatoo.
' "Pretty good little old town, Isa't
Itr laughed Gantry on* day when be
had tolled Blount away from the In
tar-Movatatn luncheon to share a table
with him In the Railway dab. "Oct

"H I'm ao It lent yecr fault, Dick,
or the fault of your Meade. Naturally
I —pat Hid some sort of welcome as
tßavfd Blount's son, but that doeas't
see* to cat any Bgure at an."
Gantry's amllf waa lose rotable.
"The people with whom It cats the
largest figure will never let you know
anything about It. Just the same. It's
catting a good bit of Ice. I have met
fijtaco nxn. more or leee, wlthla the
past day or eo who hare discovered
that you are the brainiest thing that
(Mr escaped from the law achdoL"
•Totnmrrot!" derided BlounL
"It'a a fact And they are inuyuesy
lng sll sorts of a future for you." And
again Gantry's smile waa broadly sly.
"Like what?" scoffed the listener.
"Well, for one thing, they are say
ing that you are pretty snre to run for
attorney general this fall It'a all
over town. Everybody's talking about
it—talking a lot and guessing a good
deal more."
Blount was balancing a spoon on the
edge of his claret glass and frowning
abstractedly. It was the first little
discord In the Altai harmony—almost
a breach of confidence. Without con
sulting his wishes, without waiting for
his decision, his father had commit
ted him—"taken anap Judgment upon
him," was tbs way be phrased It
"Dick, will you believe ma if I say
that I haven't authorised any such talk
as thla you've been bearing?" hs
asked.
This time Gantry's smile was a grin.
"The honorable senator took It out
of *">•>•■ hanAa. rtll he? You'll under
stand that I don't mean any disrespect
when I say It's just like him. If hs
has slated you, you are booked to run,
and If he runs you you'll be elected.
Those are two of the things that say
themselves In the Sagebrush State."
Blount was Indignant—"justly indig
nant," be called it
"If that to the case, Dick. It la high
time that aome one should break the
charm. I haven't said that I would
accept the nomination, and I am not
at all aure that I Bbnll say so. And If
I don't say HO that aettlea It."
Gantry was plainly shocked. "You
don't mean to aay that you've got
nerve enough to buck the old ra—your
father, I moan! Why, great cata,
Evan, you don't know what that
stands for In the greasewood hllla!"
"And I don't care, Dick. Up to this
present moment 1 am a free moral
agent. I haven't surrendered any right
of declalon to any on* so far as I am
aware."
Gantry's eyes dropped to bla plate,
and his rejoinder was not altogether
free from guile.
"Will you authorize me to contradict
the talk as I can?" he asked quickly.
Blount was still warm enough to bo
peremptory. "Yes; you may contra
dict It You may say that It la wholly
unauthorized." . Then he rememliered
the claims of frledHshlp. "I'll be frunk
with you, Gantry. This thing has lieen
mentioned to me once, but nothing was
decided, absolutely nothing. 1 didn't
even promise to take It under advise
ment"
Among those who knew him exter
nally Mr. Ulchard Gantry bad the rep
utation of owning a loose tongue. But
none knew better than the real Bk-b
--ard Gantry when to make the loose
tongue wag away from the subject
which has reached Its nicely adjusted
climax.
Almost before be knew It Evan
Blount waa gossiping with his table
companion over a social function two
days old. A little later the waiter
brought the clgara, and the danger
point. If any ther* wore, waa safely
past.
It waa when tbe two young men
were on their way to the club smok-
Ing room that some one stopped Gan
try to talk busluess with blm.
Blount strolled on by himself and,
finding the smoking room, went to
loungo in a lazy chair, whose chief at
traction waa that It stood half hidden
In a little alcove lined with bookcases.
Ue craved solitude and a chance to
think things over fairly and without
heat.
A few minutes later Gantry looked
In and, apparently mlaalng tbe half
concealed easy chair and its occupant
In tbe bookcase alcove, went bis way.
He waa scarcely gone before two
men entered, coming down tbe corri
dor from tbe grill room.
Blount saw tbeib, and be made aare
that they saw blm. But whaa they
bad taken chairs on tbe other aide of
tbe room be was suddenly assured that
they bad not seen him. They were
talking quite freely of blm and of bis
father.
"Well, tbe Honorable Sagebruah has
got McVlckar dead to rights tbls
time," aald the elder of the two, a full
faced man, to wbom Blount bad been
Introduced on bla first day In the capi
tal. bat whose name and station be
could not recall. "This scheme of put
ting bla aon up for attorney general la
tbe foxleat thing tbe senator has ever
pot across. You can bet tbe sir was
blue in tbe Transcontinental Chicago
offices when the newa got there."
"What do you suppose McVlckar
will do?" aaked tbe other.
"He will do anything the senator
wants blm to do. Blount Is land bun
gry, and 1 guess he'll take a few more
sections of tbe railroad mesa land un
der tbe Clearwater ditch. That was
what be did two years sgo, when Mc-
Vlcksr wanted tbe right of way for
tbe branch through Carnadine coun
ty."
"Don't you believe he's going to
take any Uttle Chrtatmas gift tbls
ttoe," waa the rasping reply. "He'll
aell tbe railroad aometblng and take
good hard money for HI It's a cinch.
The railroad can't afford to have tbe
coorts sgslust It, snd McVlckar will
be made to sweat blood. You watch
the wheels go round when McVlckar
cornea oat here."
Bran Mount found himself turning
nUk «| heart Could It be bis father
whom they were thus calmly accuslnc
of craft and trickery aad blackmail
ing methods?
Ilia flm Impulse ni to face the
two men. to demand proofs, to do and
say what a loyal son should Bat the
sickening conviction that they were

known facta crushed him back Into
bis chair, and after that he was apx
lons for only one thin*—that they
might finish their cigars aad go away
without discovering him.
Fat* was kind to Mm thus far. After
a little farther talk, la which the ac
cepted point of rlew of the onlooker
waa made still more painfully evident,
the younger of the two men spoke of
an engagement, and they both went
oat together.
On* clear thought, and only oae,
came to Evan out of the sorrowful
confusion. Not for any Inducement

Upon leaving the club he hesitated
long enough on the steps (o remember
that he was In ho fit frame of mlud to

Ills business with the railroad innn

ask Gantry a few pointed questions,
requiring such answers as friendship
may demand. If Gantry's answers
were what he feared they would bo he
would seek his father and come at
one* to a plain understanding with
him.
The trolley car dropped blm within
a square of the railway station, on the
second floor of which Gantry hail his
office. The shortest way to the Hlerra

through (be great tfiitn nfii>d.
Halfway up the block-long platform

A car Inspector In greasy overalls

"Whose car Is this?" asked Blount.
'"Tla Mist her McVlckar'*, sorr—the
