porating every day. Pretty soon one of these will swallow up all the others: that one will be the Universal under another name. and in it's application for a charter you'll find askings big enough to cover all the rights and privileges of the original monopoly"
 That is a good idea" said Kent, who already had a clerk in the secre- tary of states office in his pay.
 And on that road he had travelled far, thanks to a keen wit. to Portis Van Brooks incessant promptings. and to the help of the leaky clerk in Hendricks office: so far. indeed, that he had found the stool pigeon" oil company, to which Hildreth's hint had pointed-a company composed. with single exception. of men of straw. the exception being the man Rumford. whose conferences with the governor and the attorney general had aroused his suspicious.
 It was about this time that Hunni- colt reported the sale of the Gaston lots at a rather fancy cash figure. and  the money came in good play. Two things remain to be proved" said Portia. in one of their many con- nIngs of the intricate course; two things that must be proved before you can attack openly: that RumfOrd is really representing the Universal oil company: and that he is brihing the junto to let the Universal incorporate under the mask of his straw com pany.

For five pregnant minutes he stood looking on, almost within arms reach of the four; hearing dis tinctly what was said; seeing the papers which changed hands across the table. Then he turned and went away, noiselessly as he had come, the thick piled carpet of the anteroom muff1ing his footballs.
 It was midnight when he reached his quarters in the Clarendon and flung himself full length upon the bed. sod- den with weariness. For two hours he had tramped the deserted streets. striving in sharp travail of soul to fit the invincible, chance-given weapon to his hand. When he came in the thing was done. and he slept the sleep of an outworn laborer.

CHAPTER XVI.

SHARPENING HE oWOnb.
 In the beginning of the new cam paign of investigation David Kent wisely discounted the help of paid pro lessional spies-or rather he deferred 1t to later stage-by taking counsel with Jeffrey Hildreth, night editor of he Argus. Here, if anywhere, practi- gal help was to be had; and the tender pf 1t was cheerfully hearty and enthu- Eiastic
 Most assuredly you may depend pn the Argus, horse, foot and artil- lery." said the editor, when Kent had guardedly outlined some portion of his plan. We are on your side of the fence, and have been ever since Bucks was sprung as a candidate on the con- vention. But you've no case. ! Of course, it's an open secret, that the Universal people are trying Ito break through the fence of the new law and establish themselves in the Belmount Held without losing their identity or any of their monopolistic privileges. ssAnd 1t is equally matter of course Ito some of us that the Bucks ring will fssell the state out if the price is right. But to duplicate Bucks and the capitol gang in printable shape is quite an- other matter" ee5% ; @ q know" Kent admitted. "But it Isn't impossible; 1t has got to be possi- sble." 5 The night editor sat back in his chair Sand chewed his cigar reflectively. Sud- denly he asked: X What's your object, Kent? It isn't .purely pro bono publico, I take it?" 2 Kent could no longer say truthfully that 1t was, and he did not lie about It.
 E No, it's purely personal, guess. T need to get grip on Bucks and mean to do it."
 Hildreth laughed.
 ~And, having got it, you'll telephone me to let ,up-as you did in the House Bill Twenty-nine fiasco. Where do we come in?"
 "No; you shall come in on the ground floor this time; though I may ask you to hold your hand until have used my leverage. And if you'll go into it to stay, you sha'n't be alone. Giving the Argus precedence in any item of news, I'll engage to have every other opposition editor in the state sready to back you."
 Glad! you're growing, Kent. Do you mean to down the Bucks crowd ded-deflnitely?" demanded the editor, who stammered little under excitable provocation. Bigger men than you have tried it-and failed"
 But no one of them with half my obstinacy, Hildreth. It can be done, and I am going to do it." = "The sercetary of states office is the place you want to watch" said Hil- dreth. New oil companies are incor-

antecedents, Kent succeeded in placing the Belmount promoter unquestionably as one of the trusted lieutenants of the Universal; and the leaf1y clerk in the secretary of states office gave the text of the application for the straw company charter, showing that the powers asked for were as despotic as the great monopoly could desire.
 But for the keystone of the arch, the criminal implication of the plot ters themselves, he was indebted to a fit of ill-considered anger and to a chapter of accidents.
