The Tariff.

OF che work that remains to be
done by the Republican party. SAYS
Senator Beveridge. the first is to re-
wise the tariff. The tariff we shall
make will protect American indus
tries, and also open foreign markets
to American products. A straight
out revenue tariff is ancient: a single
protective tariff is out of date-We
Republicans propose to keep up with
the times. AS straight ont revenue
tariff gives everything away to for
eign nations and gets nothing in re-
turn. so a straight out protective
tariff gives nothing away and gets
nothing in return. The modern
tariff is a maximum and minimum
tariff-a high tariff to he applied to
any nation that will, NOT give us ad-
yantages in its markets. and a lower
tariff still protective, n ,he prantad

The attorneys smile was grim. but
friendly.
I'm not forgetting how you took a
sick man over into the Pannikin
wilderness on a two months hunting
trip last fall and made a we'll man of
him, Ford he said Any man who
can shoot as straight as you do
wouldn't be sitting here telling me lies

the expenditure Of a beggarly 35 mill
ions. But to come down to earth
again; you haven't shifted any consid-
cradle part of the burden, you know.
1 can do this bit of routine work, but
the main thing is up to you, just as it
was before l said yes"
Ford rose stretching himself like a
man who has just been relieved of a
burden whose true weight was appre-
ciable only in its lifting.
"I know" he said cheerfully. "It
has been up to me, all along. In the
morning we'll go around to the Algon-
quin national and I'll put you into the
financial saddle. Then I'll go out on
the line, and by the time you have the
stock corralled we'll be practically
ready to pull through freight-if not
passengers-from Denver to Chicago.
oh, know what I ain talking about"
he added, when the general counsel
smiled his incredulity. This Is no
affair of yesterday with me. I have
every mile of these three short roads
mapped and cross sectioned; I have
copies OF all their terminal and Juno
tion point contracts. I know exactly
what we can do, and what.we can't do
The lawyers comment was frankly
praiseful, not to say fattering
You're wonder, Ford-and that's
no figure of speech How on earth did
you manage to do 1t all at such long
ranger"
Ford's smile was reminiscent of the
obstacles.
'It would take me all night to tell
you in detail, Kenneth. But I did it.
It's no mere brag to say that / could
walk into the Chicago, Peoria and

it so that the opposition won't guess
what we are trying to do. You're sure
it won't be given away from the New
York end?'
1t was the engineers turn to shake
his head and to look dubious.
Now you are shouting Kenneth. I
can't tell anything about it. You'll
remember that when I left New York
the board had turned the plan down,
definitely and permanently, as 1 sup
posed. I should say that our only
safety lies in lightning speed When
you get the options on those con-
trolling stock majorities snugly on de-

this road TO better understanding,
contrasting with mild envy Ford's well
filed busy life with his own erratic
efforts at time killing.

smoking room to light their cigars.
IT'S no less than a piteous misfor-
tune when a fellows father has beaten
all the covers of accomplishments for

Ford could laugh now without be-

rectors' meeting this morning, but you
wouldn't take the trouble"
That's the fact" was the easy go

sister is always telling me-that I
won't take the trouble. And yet I do
take the trouble to begin lot of
things; only they never seem worth

them"
Pick out bigger ones" suggested.
Ford. My trouble is just the other
way about; 1 am always tackling
things that are worlds too big for
me-just as I have this time"
1T isn't too big for you Mr.. Ford.
1t was too big for Colbrith, Magnus ct
al. And, besides, you're not going to
give it up. You'll drop off in Chicago,
hunt up some meat packer or other
Croesus. and land your new railroad
of the P. S-W."
It was a measure of the sincerity OF
Ford's liking for his host when he said:
THAT little shot of mine at your col
leagues was merely a long bluff. If
my scheme can't be worked with the
P. S-W., it can't well be worked with
out it. We are lacking the two end
links in the chain-which could forge
But my two end links without the mid

It was quite late in the afternoon
when they left the club, and Ford had
no more than time to check his lug
gage and get to his train. He Won
dered a little when Adair went with
him to the ferry, and was not migrate
full for the hospitality which seemed
to be directed toward tightening of
the burden of failure. But Adair's
word of leave taking, flung across the
barrier when the chains of the landing
stage were rattling to their rise, was
singularly irrelevant.
BY the way, Mr.. Ford; what time
did you say your train would reach
Chicago?"
AT S:45 tomorrow evening"" replied
the beaten one; and then the boat
swung out of its slip and the retreat
without honor was begun.

catching you here before you had
started west" Ford calculated. And
then: when are you going back?'
'T am supposed to be on the way
now," was the lawyers reply. IL had
made all my arrangements to start
back tonight on the slow train, but I
dined with some friends on the North
Side and made a miss. Where have
you been?"
I'm just in from New York Let
me register and get room; and you
put away any lingering notion you may
have of heading westward tonight. I've
got to have your. ear for a few hours
to begin with, and the whole Of you
for the next few days. No; don't probe
me here. Wait, and I'll unload on you
gradually. You won't be sorry you
missed your train"
Fifteen minutes later Ford had his
adviser safely behind closed door and
had put him succinctly in possession
of the world subverting facts, as far as
they went. When he concluded the
lawyer was shaking his head obviously,
just as Auditor Evans had done.
Ford, have you any adequate idea
of what a tremendous proposition you
are up against?" he asked quietly. help
ing himself to cigar out Of the engi-
neer's freshly opened box.
'I don't believe I have underrated
the difficulties, any of them" said Ford,
matching the attorneys gravity. There
are bones all the way along but l
think have struck the biggest of them
just here. 1 ought to be in a dozen
places at once, and not later than to-
morrow noon. That's something / can't

three local lines at their connecting
points, the securing Of proper trackage
or trackage rights at these functions,
the general ordering of things so that
a through line may be opened imme-
diately when the stock is secured. If
there were 10 of you, you couldn't get
things licked into shape in time to get
in on the grain carrying this season."
Ford had relighted his cigar, which
had gone out in the explanatory in
terval, and was blowing smoke rings
toward the ceiling.
II may be the biggest ass this side of
the Jack trails and the most conceited.
Kenneth; but you're over on my side
of the ring when you talk about the
mechanical obstacles. What I'm wor-
rying about now is the fact that can't
must be secured before we can make
the fifth part of a move in the other
field; and the Lord only knows how
long that will take. To hurry is to
lose out"
The lawyer nodded. "And not to
hurry Is to lose out, too," he qualified.
Then he smoked in thoughtful silence
for full five minutes before he said.
abruptly: Give me your list of stock
holders and turn the option business
over to the legal department, where it
properly belongs. That will leave YOU

q EFT out in cold type, Ford's itin-

make good his boast of fogging the

He did it, and without a slip for

and the section sharing travelling COM
panion, who had paid for only an
hours ride in the Pullman, was leaving
the train. His handbag CHANGED to be
the exact counterpart of Ford's; what
more natural than that he should make
the mistake of taking the wrong one?
Ford caught him in the vestfbule and
there was a re-exchange, accompanied
by grateful Acknowledgements and pro-

problems, thought nothing of 1t;

the door knob as 1t chanced. Hence
the opening of the door minute or
two later was quite without any pre-
liminary stir of warning in the room
of conference. That was possibly the
reason why the lawyer almost fell over
a man crouching in the corridor.
Hello, there!" said Kenneth; II beg
your pardon"
The man got upon his feet, exhibiting
all the signs of intoxfcation.
Beg yoursh. I'm sure" he mumbled
and was lurching crookedly away when
the lawyer suddenly came to his senses
and grabbed at him. The clutching
hand fell short and there was an agile
foot race down the corridor, fruitless
for Kenneth, since the fugitive sudden
ly developed sobriety enough to run
like a deer. Beaten in the foot race
Kenneth went book for a word with
Ford.

the word took There was a man here,
listening at the keyhole, when opened
