hopeless. horror grlpped, his eyes run
ming mechanically over the closely
typewriter pages of the engineers re-
port Outsider as he was in matters of
practical business. Alwyn could see
that Horrigan had in no way exag-
gerated the documents contents. He
knew. too, that the firm Of engineers
who had drawn up the report were
the foremost Of their sort and above all
shadow of suspicion.
Little by little the numbness lifted
from his brain and in its place crept
horrible conviction of the truth. His
father-the gallant young soldier who
had won a nations applause in the
civil war-the man who, poor and I'M
aided, had built up fortune against
keenest competition and had earned a
repute for sterling probity which had
ever been the delight and model of his
son-this was the man whom a low
BLACKBOARD like Horrigan now had the
right to reyile-a man apparently no
better than the boss himself-than any
dishonest heller in the organization!
And. as If 1t were not enough that
the idol of a lifetime were hurled,
crushed and defled, from its bright
pedestal, the family name must next
be dragged through the mire of pollt-
