CHAPTER XVI
=


Miss Hadley had taken quite a
fancy to Mrs. Mason when she met
her at the Darnell dinner. The lit
tie woman was so earnest, so hope
full, so proud of her husband, and
so frank and unconventional that
the girl had found herself interest
ed in the woman's modest am
billions
Mrs. Mason, as usual, was full OF
her dreams, and fairly radiated en-
thusiasm; but, when Miss Hadley
saw her in her modest little home
later, her tone had changed. One Of
the children was sick, and at flrst
Miss Hadley attributed this appar-
ent depression to that fact. Before
she left, however, she had more
than a glimmering idea of the
truth. The effect Of Mason's cleo
ton had been the reverse of what
had been expected. There was dis
satisfaction, and the effect was felt
in the household. Mrs. Mason's
neighbors vert telling each other
of the things that Mason had re-
fused to do when he could have
done them just as we'll as not"
Untruthful stories were told about
him, and those that were true
were perverted and distorted.
All this-or, at least, so much of
it as she knew-Mrs. Mason told to
hIiss Hadley.
Ito be continued.)

Benz. Biclle, who was killed on the
tracks of the Big Four between
Agosta and La Rue, has brought to
notice a remarkable case of griel
by a pet fowl.
The young man owned a black
Minocra hen, which he had trained
to follow him and to come to him
when he whistled At the time of
the young mans death the hen was
coal black, but as soon as her mas
ter was gone and she missed his
voice and the simple favors he was
wont to give her. she began to
droop, and in short time it was
noticed that white feathers were
showing in her plumage. Those
who have watched the wonderful
change in plumage attribute it to
grief alone and believe that in time
she Will turn to pure white"

There were many people watch.
ing Mason; there were few
watching Darnell.
State Senator Pepper wished to
be returned to Springfield, and Ma
son could help him, if he would.
There were indications that he
would not, but in politics there is
always the possibility that man
may be brought into line.
The Old Man was interested in
the Independent Gas measure, and
Masons vote was imperatively
needed for that. The Old Mans in
terest was political rather than
financial. Certain men who could
help him wished that measure put
through. Indeed, it was current
gossip that there were men at
Springfield who would profit from
it, and that. in payment, they
would help him with certain legis-
lative favors that he sought. So
he had Mason sounded from time
to tint, and also Darnell. The re-
suits were not satisfactory, and he
continued to postpone the move he
contemplated. Then there was the
Suburban railway franchise, in
which Alderman Bayler and Bob
Howe had an indirect interest.
Here again the question of COM
pensation was the main thing The
owners Of an existing street rail-
way were behind the new franchise
and one of them was quoted as say
ing that they could not afford to
pay both the city and the alder
men. Some really conscientious
aldermen voted for it when an at
tempt was made to rush 1t through,
but Mason would not, and it was
defeated. After wait, it was de-
cided to try it again in slightly
changed form, and Howe and Bay
Ter were watching for some OPP
portunity to make Mason "see the
error Of his ways" as they express
ed it.
But they're on a dead card" as
serted Jim Casey, who saw and
heard enough to draw his own in
ferences. what w'u'dn't they give
fr Baxter now!
WELL returned Tom Lewis, to
whom these remarks were ad.
dressed, 'by rights Baxter ought to
have gone back, only We couldn't
afford to risk trying to put him
through. Baxter had three terms,
and he ought to have had four"
Sure" acquiesced Casey, Gin the
pinitintiary."
well, it won't be long before
Mason will need your sympathy
more than your cheers, Jim," said
Lewis, warmly.
Twill he, now"
That's what he will"
"Accordin' to me mimory," re-
turned Casey, 81 heard some wan

But Lewis spoke truthfully when
he said that Mason would be more
in need of sympathy than cheers,
for at that very moment events
seemed to be conspiring to make
trouble for him. A strange man
was closeted with the Old Man
His credit is good" the stranger
was saying.
What do you mean?" asked the
Old Man.
Il mean | had to pay principal
and interest to date to get them,
and it was hard work then" ex-
planned the stranger. Not one
cent off for the cash, and it took
week of negotiations and fairy
tales to get them at that price"
The Old Man was thOughtfully
silent for a few minutes.
But, if they knew that we
know" he said, at last, perhaps

"Mr Bell" returned the stran-
ger, impressively, you've got that
fellow absolutely at your mercy.
You can break him in just about "a
hours, If you want to. The fool
gave demand instead of time notes

they're mighty nervous as it is.
This aldermanic business hasn't
done him a bit Of good in bust
ness way"
That's because he doesn't keep
a saloon" said the Old Man, with
grim chuckle Then, having had
his joke, he became serious again.

this affair."" he said. "but I want
to make one additional stipulation.
The gas measure is of first import

notes. Perhaps you can land a

one Of them"
'I'll try it," said the stranger.
1T will help out Howe and some
of the boys" explained the Old
Man, "but that's only a secondary
consideration. This was done fol

The stranger nodded to show
that he understood.
How about Darnell?" he asked,
changing the subject.
