dient that wouldn't deceive the most
Ignorant voter that ever cast a ballot
—lfs that very thing that has stirred
the whole nation np to this unreason
able fight against corporate capital.
Don't you see-It?" e
Gantry shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess I take the line of the least
resistance—like the majority ef them,"
was the colorless reply. "When It
comes to practical politics"—
"Don't say 'practical politics' to me,
Dick," rasped the reformer. '"We're
got :he strongest argument In the
world In the fact that the present law
Is an unfair one, needing modification
or repeal. WennHfWt spoil that argu
ment by becoming lawbreakers our
selves and descending to the methods
of the grafters and the machine poli
ticians the country over. If you hare |
been sending pie eaters to me,
don't do It any more. I hare no use
for them, and they won't have any
use for me after I open np on them."
"I don't believe I'd do anything
rash," said Gantry.
Dating from this little heart to heart
talk with the traffic manager, Blount
began to carry out the new policy—
"the starvation policy," as It soon came
to be known among the would be
henchmen. The result was not alto
gether reassuring.
Many of the small grafters were on
the payrolls of the railroad company,
and Blount was soon definitely assured
of what he had before only suspected
—that they were merely nominal em
ployees, given a payroll standing so
that there might be an excuse for giv
ing them free transportation and a re
tainer in the form of wages, if need
ful.
In many cases the ramifications of
the petty graft were exasperatlngly
Intricate. For example, one Thomas
Gryson, who was on the payrolls as
a machinist's helper In the repair shops,
demanded free transportation across
the state for eight members of his
"family." Questioned, closely, he ad
mitted that the "famliy" was bis only
by a figure of Bpeech; that the rela
tionship was entirely political.
Blount promptly refused to recom
mend I lie Issuing of employees' passes
for the eight, and the result was an
Immediate call from Bentley, the di
vision muster mechanic. ,
"About that fallow Gryson," Bentlar
began. "Can't you manage some way
to get him transportation for his J ones
bo ro crowd? -He is going to make
trouble for us if you don't"
Blount was justly IrWllgnsnt •Gry
son is on your payroll," he-retorted.
"Why don't you recommend tho pssusa
en account of the motive power depart
ment, If be Is entitled to them?"
"I can't," admitted the master me
chanic. "I am held down to the issu
ing of passes to employees traveling
on company business only. We can
stretch It a little sometimes, of course,
bat we can't make It cover the whole
earth."
"Neither can I," Blount exploded.
"Let it be understood, once for all, Mr.
Bentley, that I am not the scapegoat
for all the other departments. I have
eat It off short lam not recommend
ing paseee for anybody."
"But, suffering Scott, Mr. Blount,
- we've simply .got to take care of Tom
Gryson! He's ths boss of his ward,
and be has Influence enough to tarn
even our own employees against oar
"Influence!" scoffed tfie young man
from the east "Haw does be sctjuire

lustration of the vicious circle. Ton
put Into his bands the price of thaclub
with which he proceeds to knock yeu
down. Let see tell you what I'm toU
lng everybody. If we waot a sgnsss
deal we've got to set the example by
being square."
The master mechanic went away, si
lenced, but not convinced. A week
later Gryson, who In appearance was
a typical tough and in reality waa a
postgraduate of the law leas -mlmtmt

After Grynoa had gone, -mattorlqg
tb route and cursee, tbe young eau*
peign manager had an attack of atonal
naossa. It ssosaodiaaeh.a- bugs assts
of time and anergy t*"trafte nd duf

for every phase of the actual political
problem seemed to be meanly degrad
ing,' and be was beginning to long
keenly for an opportunity to do oome
really worthy.thing. 'J _ /' CV" t
nUfWiUlMSfiOing "bio ideals.were still
unshaken. He still clung to the belief
that the corporation, which was creat
ed hy the law and could exist only
under the protection of the law, must
of nsceeslty be a law abiding entity. !
It was unfair to hold It reeponaible for
the disreputable political methods at 
those whom it could never completely
control.
It wss on the day of G arson's visit,
as It chanced, tbat Blount was given
his first opportunity of entering' the
wider field. A letter from one of jthe
party dialrmeb lb a distent mining
town brought .an 'lnvitation of the
kind be bad been waiting for. He-was
asked to participate In a joint debate
at the campaign opening In the town
in question, end he was sa find of the
chance that he Instantly wired his «c
--■ ssptsnoe. -*
That evening at the cafe dinner at
the Inter'llnantala he found his tether
waiting for him and in a burst a
confidence told him of'the Invitation.
"That's good," was the senator's
even toned comment "Gives you a lit
tle chance to ahine the way you can
j shine best, doesn't It?" Then, "That
was one of tbe things McVlckar wast
ed you for, wasn'tit?"
"Why, yes. He Intimated that there
tnight be some public speaking," ad
mitted tbe younger man.
"Well, what all are you going to tell
}bese Ophlr fellows when yon get over
Ibere, son?" asked the veteran qtrts
sically. "Going to offer 'em all frea
passes anywhere they want to go if
they'll promise to vote for the railroad
candidates?"
"Not this year," was the laughing
■reply. "Aa I told you a week or so
ago we're stopped all tbat"
"McVlckar has told you it was stop
ped?"
The-uewly fledged political manager
tried to be strictly truthful.
"I have had but ons Interview with
Mr. McVlcksr, but In that hs gave me
to understand that my recommenda
tions would be given due considera
tion, and I have said my say pretty
emphatically."
Tbe senstor's smile was not derisive.
It was merely lenient ~

Miss Anners was watching the ele

sank to a whisper.
"He will be at the Weatberfords'?"
she inquired eagerly.
"He ia aura to be. I told him yon

The small plotter nodded approval.
"Give us half an hour to dress and

CHAPTER X.
til TOE HERBARIUM.
THE Weatherfords. millionaire
mine people and so newly rich
that the crisp bank notes fair
ly crackled when lira. Weath
erford spent them, kept their lackeyed
and liveried state in a castle-like house
la Mess circle, the most expensive If
not tbe moat aristocrats no thorough
far* 9f tbe capital city.
Weatherfotd, the father, egged on
by Mrs. Weatberford, had political aa
plratlona pointing toward a United
Btatea senatorahlp, tbe election to
which would fall within the duty of
tbe nast legislature.
Tbe mine owner himself would will
ingly have dodged, but the ambltloua
wife waa inexorable. Tbcre were two
grown daughters and a growing aon,
and It waa for these'that Mrs. Weath
arford was socially nr..i>ltlou«.
Tbe Mcaptkin. for which tbe sena
tor"* wife bad driven ber guest thirty
•allee through tbe dust of the sage
brush hlils.waa one of tbe moves In
Mrs. Weatberford's private campaign.
From room to room in tbe vast
houoe a curiously assorted throng of
the bidden onaa worked lta way aa tbe
Jam and crush permitted.
It was a mark of tbe newness of the
Weatherford riches that the glaaa and
Iron greenhouse, built out as an exten
sion of one of tbe drawing rooms, was
called "tbe herbarium." It was a re
production on a generoua scale of a
tropical garden.
The senator's party of three was
fashionably late at tbe function In
Mesa circle, but In the crush filling
tbe spacious druwlng rooms the host
ess and her long line of receiving as
sistants were still on duty.
Having successfully passed the line
with her husband snd Patricia, little
Mrs. Blount looked about her, saw
Mr. Richard Gantry, signaled to him
with ber eyes and, with the traffic
manager for ber center rush to wedge
a way through the crowded rooms, was
presently lost to sight—at least from
Mia* Anners' point of view.
Whether she knew It or not, from
the moment of ber appearance at the
hostess' end of the long receiving line
the senator's wife bad been marked
and followed in her slow progress.,
through the crowded rooms by a pros
' perous looking gentleman, whose hawk
like eyes never lost sight of her.
When his quarry stopped, as she did
frequently, to chat with one or an
other of tbe guests the man with the
eager eyea circled nervously and once
or twice seemed about to make the
opportunity which' was so slow In
making Itself.
But it was not until the little lady
In the claret colored party gown bad
drifted, still \ylth a hand on Oantry**
arm, in among the palm and banana
tree* that the bird of prey person
made bis swoop. A moment later
Oantry bad taken hi* command* and
waa disappearing in tbe direction of
tIM refreshment tables, and the little
lady was *aylng, "Dear me, Mr. Hath
away, you almost startled me!"
"Did 17" said the lumber king rather
grimly, as if he meant the query to be
apologetic. ."I am aorry. I didn't
mean to, but Mrs. Gordon said I
would find you here, and so 1 took the
liberty of—er—following you. I'm
needlag a little straightening out, you
know, and—er—would you mind let
ting nsc talk business with you for *
minute or two. Mrs. Miount?"
"Certainly not. if you can talk busi
ness In such a place aa this," she said,
making room for blm on the rustic
settee.
"Perhaps It isn't business: perhaps
It'* only politics," he resumed "First.
I wish you'd tell me what I've been
doing to get myself into your bad

"I can't." he bluatered. "Everybody

Tbe Uttle lady waa opening and abut

If I thought yon didn't know I
wouldn't tall you," be said bluntly.
"It's a rebate rata east and waat from

"And the coneldoraUon?" aba asked,
looking up quickly.
"Ton know that, too, Mrs. Blount.
It waa the swinging of tbe solid em
ployees' vote of the Twin Butte* Lam
bar company over to tbe railroad
ticket."
"And you wish to make tbe aame ar

"Bxaetly. We're gpj to have that

"Wttli whom did you make the con
tract two ytwrx ago?"
"With Mr. McVlckar, verbally. Of

"A geutiemeu's agreement." aha
murmured. "You have tried Mr. Mc-

"Yes. He referred me to Onntry."
"Aud what dkl Mr. Gantry any?"
"1 couldn't gut him to aay anything
with any souse In It. The moat 1
could get out of him was that 1 wonkl
have to aee the boss."
"Aud Instead of doing that yon want
to see the senator?" she asked.
"Who else would Gantry mean by |
the bo**?*" demanded the befogged
one.
"I'oßHlbly "fie meant the senator'a

pretty cheek with the folded fan.
"Have you been leaving Evan Blount

"1 didn't know where to put him In.

"1 can't tell you anything that would
help the people who are walking In

might offer a suggestion In your per

Hathaway pursed his thin lips and
frowned. "How big n block of Twin

Her laugh was a silvery peal of de
rision. "Yon always figure in dollars

"1 have alwaya found It tbe cheapest

"Listen," she said, with tbe folded

and appeal to blm frankly as one

"But I have heard—tbey say he's

TO SAVE A MAN'S LIFE.
U. S. Naval Vessel Steamed 800 Miles
to a Hospital.
♦
Washing ton Dispatch, 'th, to Baltimore Bun.
In an effort to save the life of
an. enlisted man lying at death's
door on board the United States
steamship Vicksburg, the Navy
and State Departments hurriedly
abandoned all plans made out for
this vessel, and ordered her to
steam 800 miles under forcud
draft from Corinto, Nicaragua, to
Panama. Word has just reached
here that the effort succeeded.
The name of the man whose life
has been miraculously saved by
the co-operation of two branches
of the government is not oven
known here.
The first intimation of his plight
came to the Navy Department
last month in a hurried cable .
from Commander Marcus L. Mil- -
ler, U. S. N., in command of the
Vicksburg, then at Corinto. The
dispatch said that an enlisted man,
the ship's tailor, ha 1 been strick
eu with appendicitis, and
that the operation had not saved
him. Complications had sfet in
aud he wan threatened with per
onitis. There was one chance in
a hundred to save his life, pro
vided the ship could steam imme
diately for the nearest modern
hospitial at Panama, 800 miles
away. «
The Vicksburg was occupied
with very important official du
ties, in which the State and Navy
Departments wore interested.
Aboard the ship was Ernest 11
Wands, who had been senfrespec
ially by the State Department to
investigate financial conditions
in Nicaragua, and a $13,000,(XX)
loan hung on his visit. But the
message outlining the sailor's
plight brought immediate action.
There was a hurried consultation
between State Department and
Navy Department officials, follow
ing which this message was
flashed from Washington to
Commander Miller. 1
"Disregard all previous orders. 1
Bteam quickly as pssible to Pana- i
ma."
Mr. Wands, who appreciated
the situation thoroughly, changed
his plans double-quick to meet it.
Instead of coming up by the
Pacific coast, as intended, he !
arranged to stick to the ship. 1
Attempting lo make a transfer or '
get his baggago off might have
meant too much delay, and, as '
•very moment coun.ed, he de- '
cided to act quickly, and in less 1
time than it takes to tell it the '
chains were pulling at the ship's
anchors and she was preparing to '
get under way.
While the vessel was clearing
from Corinto the stricken man 1
was informed that a record run '
under forced draft "was being ■
made to save his life. His hopes
were kindled aud the men in the '
engine room worked hard to send
the ship along at top speed.
A Reliable Medicine NOT A NAHCO TIC
Mrs. F. Marti, St. Joe, Mich.,
says: "Our little boy contracted a
severe bronchial trouble and as
the doctor's medicine did not cure
him, I gave him Foley's Honey
and Tar Compouud in which I
have great faith. It cured tbe
cough as well the choking and gag
ing spells, and he got well in a
short time. Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has many times
saved us much trouble and we are

The report of Adjut. Gen'l Loins
tor, which has just been issued,
sliowstliat the State troops 'con
sist of 222 commissioned officers
and 2,26$ enlisted men, making a

missioned officers and 2,898 enlist

other equipment for camp pur
poses. The State appropriation
is $38,000.
The adjutant general recom
mends that in the adoption of

military establishments of this
State and the United States to be
taught in the schools. He says
there is a great lack of informa

the general •public and believes
that such an innovation would
accomplish much good.
Good Roads Object Lesson.
The Asheboro Courier, makes
a fight for a good road bond issue
in Randolph cou..ty, gives this
object lesson:
Guilford is the only county in"
the State rich enough to build j
good roads by direct taxation,
and yet Guilford is one county In ;
the State which has built its roads
by a bond issue. A fsw years
ago Guilford voted a bond issue
of $300,000 for good roads.
Since the building of good roads
a revolution has t.aken place in
that county. In the last ten
years ti*» increase in population
is greater in that county than in
any county in the State, and the
increase in property ha* been
greater thau in any other county
in the State.
Ten years ago Randolph stood
next to Guilford in white voting
population. Now Guilford has
twice the population of Raudolph
and nearly a third more voting
population. A few weeks ago
the people of Guilford got togeth
er to consider the question of
issuing mom bonds for good roads.
Upon investigation it was found
that the county had a surplus
each year, after repairing the
roads and paying the interest on
bonds and providing the sinking
fund for said bonds, of $44,000
which could be used in building
more fcood roads. Of course a
county which has a surplus of
nearly $50,000 can put it in good
roads and does not need a bond
issue, and yec the tax rate ia
Guilford is only 79 cents on the
SIOO valuation of property. Keep
in mind that the only county in
North Carolina that is now able
to build good roads by direct tax
ation is the county of Guilford—
a county which has built its roads
with a bond issue.

Each year 265,000,000 tons of
farm and foreat products are haul

over American roads.
This hauling costs $432,000,-

It costs only ten cents the ton
the mile to haul freight over an
improved road.
Therefore, if all our roads were
improved it would mean a saving
of $200,000,000 the year in haul
