CHAPTER VIII.

with trepidation Harold Raymond en-
tered his brothers residence. The draw
ing room, though plain, was neatly and
substantially furnished, and made most
comfortable impression. The old general,
reading book, was seated at q big
oaken table in the center of the ROOM
which was lighted by handing lamp
Lis wife sat by his side, her head bent
over some fancy handiwork, while Vic
tor Raymond, engaged in writing a let
ter to Beatrice, was n silent companion
The latter intended to return thanks for
the note he had received Us a birthday
gift.
The two brothers, although vastly diff
fcrent in their respective characteristics,
had always lived in perfect harmony with
each other. Harold Raymond was in a
quandary, and although he was greatly
perturbed, he knew that he did not dare
to mention the affair or reproach Victor
while he was in the presence of his faith
err who deeply loved his son; and, there
fore, concluded to ask Victor to accom-
pany him to the club room, which re-
quest was Mt once accepted, and they re-
paired thither.
Harold had conceived n scheme by
which he could elicit the desired inforna-
ton from Victor without the necessity
of direct question. He ordered refresh
nnents and then felt for his pocketbook.
"Pshaw" he exclaimed, II have neg
lected to bring some money with me;
will you please help me out!:
Without hesitation Victor handed him
his pockctbook, saying: Certainly, my
dear uncle; help yourself"
His uncle, after paying the bill and
casting n discriminating glance at the
contents, said:
by the way, Victor, as happen to be
without money l would ask n small loan.
will take this twenty until this after
noon."
With the words he drew forth Mars
denis twenty -dollar note! Victor could
not conceal his anxiety and hastily ex-
claimed:
BEG pardon, uncle, but l cannot let
you have that twenty; it does not belong
to me. You will find other bills on the
left side"
Victor wished to preserve Beatrice's
gift as n keepsake. Sadly Harold gazed
upon the bank note; the awakened sus.
picion drew a shadow over his tortured
mind, and the words came Jelly from his
bloodless hips:
"What, not yours? How does it hap
pen to be in your possession then? Whose
is it?"
Victor had never mentioned his love
for Beatrice to his uncle only his par
ents and a few others We're aware of it.

line in the course Of the day, 1t required
the efforts Of 1000 policemen to enable
il to do so. These policemen were able
to preserve fair degree OF order, al
though the mobs which had assaulted the
non-union trninmen and demolished the
cars of the company on the previous day
were out again in force along the streets
over which the cars were operated. The
disposition of the police was such, how
ever as to prevent the demonstrations OF
the mobs from becoming serious.
While the operation Of the Wentworth
avenue cars was victory for the COM
pany. the street railway officials found
themselves confronted with new difficult
ties during the day. Firemen employed
in it's power houses broke their agree
ments and quit work and engineers and
other employees announced their intention
Of doing likewise If non-union men were
put in the fremen's places.
The strike of the firemen resulted In
the stopping of the cables on the Cottage
Grove avenue and State street lines.
These cables have been kept running all
the time since the beginning of the
strike to prevent their being cut by
strike sympathizers.
General Manager McCulloch was not
dismayed By the action of the firemen IN
breaking their agreement He announc-
ed that this new strike would not change
his plans. 1.-THE police have the man
agemcnt of our lines" he said. They
have chosen to run the cars on the Went
worth avenue line alone. We have the
men to run cars on the other lines and
will do SO IL the police can agree to pro-
tect them"
Preparations were made to take care
of a large force of non-union employees
Cots and beds were placed IN the various
power houses and car barns and arrange
ments made for feeding non-union men
in these strongholds. The work Of hir
Ing men to take the place of the strikers
progressed rapidly. A vanguard of ter
non-union men from other cities reached
Chicago during the day. They were
housed in the car barns. Other prepar
atoms for running large number OF
trains and breaking the strike were
made. -
