CHAPTEB XI.
THE GAME.
IF Evan Blount had been anticipat
ing an unfriendly reception at tbe
great mining camp In tbe Carna-
dine hills he was agreeably dis
appointed. A committee of prominent
cltlaens, headed by Jasper Steucbfleld,
tbe reform chairman for Carnadlne
county, met him at the train, escorted
him to the hotel and during the after
noon, Which was at hi* disposal, gars
him joyously 1 and hilariously tba -free
dom of the camp.
The political meeting, which was
held In tbe Carnadlne Mining com
pany's electric lighted ore Shed, waa
packed with an enthusiastic audience,
and there were prolonged cheers and
handclapplngs when the railroad rep
resentative took bis seat on tbe Im
provised platform as the guast of the
committee. -
Later, when Judge Crowley, tbe re
form candidate for tbe state senate,
had opened the joint debate with a
sharp arraignment of the railroad's
methods, not only In its dealings with
Ita patrons as a common carrier, but
also In the pertinacity with which it
Invaded the political field, there was
tumultuous applause. But It waa no
heartier than that which greeted
Blount when he rose to preaent the
railroad's side of the argument
Earing the Journey from tbe capital,
which had consumed the night and the
greater portion of the forenoon, he
had prepared his speech. His argu
ment—tbe one unanswerable argument
as It seemed to him—was the existence
of a law which presumed to limit the
earnings of a private or at most a
quasi public corporation, without mak
ing a corresponding regulation limit
ing the cost of such a corporation's
service. Upon this foundation he was
able to build a very fair structure of
oratory.
The judge, his opponent, was a rath
er turgid man, whose speech abounded
In flights of spread eagle eloquence
and whose appeal was to tbe emotions
and the lmpulsea of his audience.
Blount, on the other band, made a
typical lawyer's speech, calmly deliv
ered, logical in every syllogism and
appealing frankly to the intelligence
of his bearers. In every period of it
be was greeted with pMMBV «
plause, and at tbe close of the meet
ing be bad what the editor ot tba total
paper called in nis issue
ing day "an ovation." *
Bteoehfleld and his follow commit'
teeincn escorted him to tbe midnight
train, and no one In tbe crowd ot con
gratulators was more enthusiastic than
the opposition chairman.
"That was a great speech, Mr.
Blount" he aald at parting. "If yon
can go all over tbe atate making as
good talks as you have made bere to
night youll tie us all up in a hard
knot But McVlckar won't lot yon do
it not by a long shot"
Blonnt laughed. "There are mo
strings tied to me, Mr. Bteoehfleld," ho
declared. "This Is a now deal, and I
am the dealer. Come down to tbe
capital and let me convince yoa that
wo are out for open publicity and a
square deal for every man. Including
the railroad man."
"All right," waa tbe cordial reply.
Til ba down along aome of ttaaaa

Fire mlnutea la tar tbe branch train
pulled out, and tbe chairman and bla
fellow committeemen gave tbe depart
ing Joint debater three cbeera and an
other. When the red tall ligtate of the
train bad dlaappeared around tbe flret
curve Steuchfleld turned to his feflow
conaplratora.
"Well, b of," b* aatd, with a grin

On the other hand, the president saw
before blm the supposed agent of the
forestry service.
"Well, I'll be hanged!" he ejaculat
ed, dropping Into the nearest chair.
"Ton needn't be," laughed Blount
easily. "11l admit that it was partly
my fault, Mr. Hathaway. What can
I do for you today?"
By thla time tbe lumber king bad re
covered his breath and aome measure
of bla composure.
-Great Scott!" he said. "If you had
given me half a hint that yon were
Dave Blount* S SOB, but yoa didn't, yoa
know, and now I am handicapped just
at the time when I oughtn't to be. I
have come to talk business with you
today, Mr. Blount and you've got me
going when I ought to be coming- I've
been given to understand that you are
handling the political end for' tbe
railroad company In this campaign, Mr.
Blount Is that right r
"It Is and It Isn't" was tbe quick
reply. "The railroad company Is not
In politics In this campaign—as a po
litical factor, I mean. What we are
trying to do—what we mean to do—ls
to lay tbe entire matter plainly and
fairly before tbe people with a plea
for a square deal."
M H*m, yea," said the trust president
who was evidently suffering from a
fresh attack of embarrassment. "But
there are certain little business mat
ters which have to eater Into every
campaign, and yonr company, like my
own. Is obliged to take cognisance of
them. Two year* ago the railroad
people found It advisable and profit
able to—er—make a little arrangement
with us which was to our mutual ad
vantage! and I called to see If It could
sot be made again."
Blount sat back In bla chair, and the
conciliatory a mile disappeared. "State
the facts. If yon please, Mr. Hatha
way," be aaid curtly.
"Well, it was like this. As yon know,
we have a great many sawmills scat
tered around in different places in tbe
state, and we employ a good many
men. While our employees are real
dents of the state, they are not clti
cens In the sense that they take any
active Interest In state politics. Tbey
may be here thla year and up among
the Oregon redwoods neat year and
somewhere elae the yew following.
That being the ease, whan they vote
at all they naturally ask ua bow we
would Ilka to have them vota."
"Go on." said Bkraot
"WeJL m I aajr. such being tbe case,
we are able to coatsol at least four
and probably Are of the legislative
dlatrlcts in this state. The control Is
worth something to your people, and
In the last election that fact waa rec
ognised. Since tbe Twin Bottes Lum
ber company Is practically tbe only
heavy lumber shipper In thla region. It
was given a preferential ratq on Us
products, not at all as a quid pro quo,
yoa understand, bat merely In friend

queuuy eropoa sizing the aisastrous re
sults that would fail upon the people
for whom be was In the largest sense
the trustee, the disaster banging upon
the withdrawal of the preferential
rate.
Blount broke him In the midst of
the special pleadings. "I see you have
recently added one new name to >*■«
list, that of Professor Anners."
"Yes," interrupted the Twin Buttes
president, "and be Is a good example
of our stockholders. Those like An
ners—college professors, preachers and
the like—buy stocks when they buy
'em at all for an Investment and pay
for 'em out of their hard earned sav
ings."
"I know," said Blount, frowning.
The fact that Patricia's father was In
volved added a fresh and exasperating
complication, but he must come to
some decision. "Let us get down to
the present fact," he went on brusque
ly. "What Is It that you want me to
do, Mr. Hathaway?"
"I want you to set the machinery In
motion so that we can have our rate
continued for another two years on
the same terms as before. You are
going to need every vote you can get
this year. Mr. Blount, and you can't
afford to turn us down."
Blount returned the printed Hat of
stockholders nnd fell back upon the
pencil sharpening. "la It poaalble that
you don't recognize the bald criminal-
Mr of aucb a transaction. Mr. Hath
away V be aaked quietly.
"Of course I don't," was the ready
reply. "It la tbe universal rule of the
business world everywhere. You do
something for me and I do something
(or you. You make it possible for UH
to lire and do business In lumber, and
wo will do what wo can to make it
possible for you to get your aquar*
deal from the pedple of this state.
That's the whole thing In a nutshell,
Mr. Blount"
"Our question." snapped Blount,
trying to fit the roving gaze of tbe
hawklike eyes. "With whom did you
make this arrangement two years
"With Mr. McVlckar himself."
"And you think you can do It
again f "
"I know I can, but I don't want to
go over your bead. They all tell me
that you are handling this end of It
for the railroad company, and I'm not
going around hunting a chance to
make enemies. There's no hurry.
Take your own time to think- It over
and to communicate with Mr. Mc-
Vlckar If you want to. When you get
things fixed you can wire tne Just ono
word to Aretas. Just say 'Yes' and
sign your name to it and that will be
enough." ►
For a full half hour after the presi
dent of tbe lumber trust had closed
the door of the private office In the
Temple court building behind him
Blount sat rocking gently In his pivot
chair, fighting once more with tbe
soul nausea which was threatening to
overwhelm him.
Bo Vice President McVlckar had de
ceived him after all, and be was mere
ly a fence put up to screen tbe chlcan
ery and trickery which were going on
just tbe name as before. More, the
vice president bad let him stultify
himself in a thousand ways. All his
brave talk about opennesa and fair
dealing would bo set down as mere
dust throwing to conceal the working#
of a corrupt and criminal machine,
grinding away in the background.
And his father—bow did be figure
in this despicable business? Had be
plotted with McVlckar to bring his
own son to shame merely because that
son had refused to be a tool In tbe
handa of the great machine? It waa
grossly Incredible, and yet— Evan
Blount remembered that thus far his
father bad said no word opposing the
courao.be bad taken. Could-It be poa
alble that a father could become so
much the boss aa to forget the com-
SKSB ties of kindred?
Blount's mind—but more than his
mind, bis heart—went groping out In
vain rcachlngs for a confidant aDd an
advlaer. There was no ono to whom
be could turn, no one whose conscience
was not seared and dlatorted In tbe
Ores of political partlaanablp. No one.

"Nor said Blount almost savage

When the cool days of summer
come more frequently and the
cold rains of fall follow, the poul
tryman begins to have troubles of
another sort in his flock. and they
are those resulting from such
conditions of the weather as ac
company chilly and rainy days.
| Roup is the leading ailment in the
flock, and if it once gets a good
hold before winter, there will ben
great deal of work connected with
its eradication through that sea
son, and it is more lively that it
will not disappear until springap
p roaches.
Many fowls will bo swept away
for the disease is very dangerous
and also contagious. The
great difliculty in handling and
doctoring the fowls makes it ex
pensive, for each fowl hits to have
individual care, There is a sub
stance that has been found to de
stroy the germs of roup, and that
is air-slaked liuie, a cheap and
easily prepared article. To pre
pare it, let the stono lime slake in
the air, and when it is in fine con
dition add a pint of crude carbolic
acid to a bushel of fine lime, being
careful to mix the substances very
thoroughly.
The crude carbolic-Acid should
cost not more than fifty cents per
gallon, and it is equally as good
as tho refined for this purpose.
Scatter tho air-slakcl liiue and
carbolic acid over the walls, floors,
nests, roosta and over the yards
not less than twice a week. After
scattering the -mixture over tlie
yards, plow the surface under, nud
then after rakeing givo another
treatment to the then topsurfaco.-
If a case of roup appears, first re
move the fowl and then give those
promises a thorough treatment,
being careful to see that the yards
get a good share, for it is in tho
ground that tho roup gertns re
main more thau any other place.
The object is to destroy tho germs
of the disease. The driuking
troughs should be cleaned overy
day —not simply emptied ami
refilled.
A pinch of chlorate or potash
•hould be sprinkled down the
throat of each Hit-It fowl twice a
day, and if it (loon not get well in
less than a week, cut off the birds
head and bury the fowl at once.
Hoanto breathing, lumps on the
face, foul odor and a cough are
all nympto/ns of roup, a discharge
from ths nostrils also being no
ticed. Lumps on the face with
swollen eyes indicate a very
serious form of the disease, and
when a fowl reaches that stage
there ia little hope for It. It will
be qniieasaving of timeand labor
aa well as of birds to use air-slaack
id lime, even without tbe aid of
the acid, when the premises and
houses are clean* d for foil tine,
