CHAPTER XXXuI.
John saxton Suggests, c,u

John SaXtOn Suggests a Clue.
Wheaton sat in his room at The
Bachelors the next evening, clutching
a copy of a Gazette extra in which
few sentences under long headlines
gave the latest rumor about the mys-
ferrous disappearance of Grant Porter
Within fortnight he had received
several warnings from his brother
marking his itinerary eastward. Sny-
der was evidently moving with a fixed
purpose, and as Wheaton had received
brief notes from him couched in
phrases Of amiable irony, postmarked
Denver, and then, within few days,
Kansas City, he surmised that his
brother was travelling on fast trains
and therefore with money in his purse.
He had that morning received pos
tai card signed wv. w. which bore
few taunting sentences in a hand
writing which Wheaton readily rec
ognized. He did not for an instant
question that William Wheaton alias
Snyder had abducted. Grant Porter,
nor did he belittle the situation thus
created as it affected him. He faced
1t coldly, as was his way. He ought
not to have refused Snyder's appeals,
he confessed to himself; the debt he
owed his brother for bearing the whole
burden of their common youthful
crime had never been discharged. The
brides and subterfuges which Wheaton
had employed to keep him away from
Clarkson had never been prompted
by brotherly gratitude or generosity,
but always by his fear of having so
odious connection made public. This
was one line Of reflection; on the other
hand, the time for dealing with his
brother in a spirit Of tolerant philan-
thropy was now past. He was face to
face with the crucial moment where
concealment involved completely in a
crime. His duty lay clear before him
to the woman whom he knew he
loved. Was he equal to It? If Snyder
were caught he would be sure to take

en- by the kidnappers and the amount
Of ransom. He threw in his own COM
ment and speculation from time to
time.
"Raridan's out chasing thenG,'' said
Caldwell. Il passed him and SaXton
driving like mad out Merriam street
at noon" The mention of Raridan
and Saxton did not comfort Wheaton.
He reflected that they had undoubted-
ly been to the Porter house since the
alarm had been sounded, and he won
dered whether his own remissness in
this regard had been remarked at
the HILL. His fingers were cold as he
stirred his coffee; and when he had
finished he hurriedly left the room,
and the men who fingered over their
cigars heard the outer door close after
him.
He felt easier when he got out into
the cool night air. His day at the
bank had been one long horror; but
the clang of the cars the lights in the
streets gave him contact with life
again. He must hasten to offer his
services to the Porters, tho he knew
that every means of assistance had
been employed, and that there was
nothing to do but to make inquiries.
He grew uneasy, as his car neared the
house, and he climbed. the slope of

varying moods of a lover. who one
day walks the heights and is the next
plunged into the depths; and latter
ly, since his affair with Margrave, he
had known moods of conscience, too,
and these returned upon him with
forebodings now. If Porter had not
been i'll, there would never have been
that interview with Margrave at the
bank; and Grant would not have been
at home to be kidnapped. 1t seemed
to him that the troubles of other
people rather than his own errors
were bearing down the balance against
his happiness.
Evelyn came into the parlor with
eyes red from weeping. ooh, have
you no news?' she cried to him. He
had kept on his overcoat and held
his hat in his hand. Her grief stung
him; great wave Of tenderness
swept over him, but it was followed.

as she tried to tell her story.

revenge on him, and Wheaton knew
that no matter how guiltless he might
show himself in the eyes Of the world,
his career would be at an end; he
could not live in Clarkson; Evelyn
Porter would never see him again.
The Gazette stated that district
telegraph messenger had left at Mr..
terms on which Grant could be ran
somed. The amount was large-more
money than James Wheaton pos
sessed; it was not a great deal for
William Porter to pay. It had already
occurred to Wheaton that he might
pay the ransom himself and carry the
boy home, thus establishing forever
a claim upon the Porters. He quickly
dismissed this; the risks of exposure
were too great. He smoked cigarette
as he turned all these matters over
in his mind. Clearly the best thing to
do was to let the climax come. His
brother was a criminal with a record
who would not find it easy to drag
him into the mire. His own career
sailable. Very likely the boy would
be found quickly and the incident
would close with Snyder's science to a
long Imprisonment. By the time the
Chinaman called him to dinner he8was
able to view the case calmly. He
would race 1t out no matter what
happened; and the more he thought
Of it the likelier it seemed that Sny-
der had overleaped himself and
would soon be where he could no
longer be a menace.
He went down to dinner late, in
the clothes that he had worn at the
bank all day, and thus brought upon
himself the banter of Caldwell, the
Transcontinental agent, who sang out
as he entered the dining-room door:
whats the matter, Wheaton? Sold
or pawned your other clothes %
Wheaton smiled wanly.
"Only little tired" he said.
Come on now: and give us the
real truth about the Kidnapping.
said Caldwell with cheerful interest.
You'd better watch the bank or the
same gang may carry it off next
IT guess the banks safe enough"
Wheaton answered. '.And I don't
know anything except what I read in
the papers, He hoped the others
would not think him Indifferent; but

mors and theories as to the route TAX

three years ago, when Wall street
brokers traced purchases of several
blocks of Missouri Pacific stock to him
and Howard Gould. Young Rockefel-
Ter showed astuteness in buying when
prices were at their lowest. He is
credited with having picked UP con-
siderable st. Paul, Union Pacific and
Lackawanna stock during the success
sive bear raids on the general mar
ket. It was thru young Rockefeller's
initiative that his family became-as
it is now believed to be-the largest
individual stockholders in the Missouri
Pacific road. John D.. Jr., is d.
rector of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad, which is practically owned
outright by Rockefeller interests. 1t
is the policy Of John D. Rockefeller,
Sr.. to keep in the background and put
his son, as we'll as his brother Va
liam, into the directories Of the prop
critics in which the family has an i'm
portant interest. At present, there
fore, John D., Jr., is simply his
fathers representative in railroad
boards. He is intelligent, cool-head-
ed and judicious' and, may yet de-
velop q forceful individuality Of his
own.
One of the notably successful young
railroad men in this country is Ed
win Hawley. Only a few years ago
he was the Broadway agent of the
Southern Pacific railroad. To-day he
is a member of the executive commit
tee of the Southern Pacific, president
Of the Iowa Central, president of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis and the con-
trolling power In the Colorado and
Southern. AS a syndicate manager
he commands millions of dollars capital
and has the confidence Of j. Pierpont
Morgan, E. H. Hartman, Speyer &
CO. and other large banking and rail-
road interests. 1t was Edwin HaWley
who negotiated the sale of the Hunt
ington interest in the Southern Pa
cific to the Union Pacific. He not
only has an alert and we'll balanced
mind, but he possesses the valuable
knack Of keeping his mouth shut. b.
F. Yoakum, president Of the st. Louis
& San Francisco railroad is about Mr..
Hawley's age, and he possesses some
of the effective traits that characterize
the latter. Mr.. Yoakum demonstrated
solid ability sas railroad man some
years ago, but since he became pres
| ident of the Frisco he has developed
qualities as a financier such as have
surprised his friends. Thru his own
efforts he has attained interests and
an influence far outside of his position
as president of a single railroad com
pany.
