CHAPTER Nv.

The following week Bob returned to
the office. He had not changed, and
yet he had changed greatly. Rest had
apparently done much for him. His
color was good, his step elastic as OF
old, and his head was thrown back as
II he were buckled up for the fray and
wanted all to know It, Yet there was
something in the eye, in the setness Of
the jaw, in the hair-trigger calm. yet

his strong hands on the arms Of his
chair, that told me more plainly than

feeling that If l had been leader OF

who now sat before me had come to

czar or his marked minions. Surely
the iron that had entered Bob's soul a
week before had affected his whole be

before.
For days after Bob's return l saw
little of him. / think Beulah Sands

merely looked them over and handed
them out to his assistants. AS far as

of going about from pole to pole with

fellow members began to humor and

1906 a consumption OF seyenty.siK

The total consumption for the year
aggregated $500 millions of pounds.
The cost OF this supply was approx
mately 200 millions OF dollars. Since
1896, consumption has increased
more than 1900 million pounds, OF
nearly 80 per cent.

IL Will be seen that our manufacture
constituted but one-ffth of our total
consumption. Another fifth came
from the new insular possessions OF
the United States, two-frths from

Our production Of beet sugar Is
now approximately 1000 million
