PROLOGUE.

This story Of a young mans
honest attempt to "break" the
boss" and the power of the
machine" is an absorbingly in
innate portrayal of the working
of the wheels within wheels" in
a desperate political struggle of
today. The senator, strongly in
trenched behind his party ma
chine" presents an almost in
Vulnerable front, and the con-
Tict between father and son as
this young lawyer, single hand
ed, fights for what he honestly
believes to, be the truth and
right holds one with a tren1en-
dous sympathetic interest.

Oiled Streets Cause "oilv Eve"

"Oily eye" is the latest affection
which modern humanity has had to
suffer. Numerous persons in South
Norwalk. Conn.,, have been complain
ing of late that their eyelids have been
turning yellow and their lashes have
been falling out.
The doctors say it is a regular cpl.
demic and assign it to the liberal use
Of oil upon the streets of the town. In
confirmation they point to the fact
that the trolley motormen are the
greatest sufferers. More than 100000
gallons of oil have been placed upon
the streets of the town this summer.

Zone question" snapped Blount,
trying to fix the rowing gaze Of the
hawklike eyes,. with whom did you
make this arrangement two years
ago."
with Mr.. McVickar himself"
and you think you can do it
again"
II know l can, but 1 don't want to
go over your head. They all tell me
that you are handling this end Of it
for the railroad company, and I'm not
going around hunting a chance to
make enemies. There's no hurry.
Take your own time to think it over
and to communicate with Mr.. Nc
Vickar If you want to. When you get
things fixed you can wire me just one
word to Aretas. Just say Yes and
sign your name to it. and that will be
enough"
For a full half hour after the presi-
dent Of the lumber trust had closed
the door Of the private office in the
Temple court building behind him
Blount sat rocking gently in his pivot
chair. fighting nee more with the
soul nausea which was threatening to
overwhelm him.
So Vice President McVickar had de-
ceived him after all, and he was mere
ly a fence put up to screen the chican-
cry and trickery which were going on
just the same as before. More, the
vice president had let him stultify
himself in a thousand ways. All his
brave talk about openness and fair
dealing would be set down as mere
dust throwing to conceal the workings
of a corrupt and criminal machine,
grinding away in the background.
And his father-how did he figure
in this despicable business? Had he
plotted with McVickar to bring his
OWL son to shame merely because that
son had refused to be a tool in the
hands Of the great machine? 1t was
grossly incredible, and yet Evan
Rlount remembered that thus far his
father had said no word opposing the
rourse he had taken. Could it be pos.
sible that q father could become 50
much the boss as to forget the com
mon ties of kindred?
Blount's mind-but more than his
mind, his heart-went cropping out in
vain readings for a confidant and an
adviser. There was 10 M to whom
he could turn, no one whose conscience
was not scared and distorted in the
fires of political partisanship. No one
did he say? Yes; there was one. Pa.
tricia would know and understand
He must find her and tell her. But in
the interval
He got up and shut his desk with a
slam. The stenographer heard and
came to the door of the anteroom
notebook and pencil in hand. "Any.
thing to give me before you go away.
Mr.. Blount?" he asked.
"No!" said Blount almost savage
ly. Then he reconsidered. Eyes, there
is. You may take a message to Mr.
McV1ckar. Are you ready?"
The s~tenographer nodded.
"All right; take this:
pending another interview with you,
shall close ny offices in Temple court and
c%onfine myself strictly to the routine lega
business of the company. In the mean.
time my resignation Is in your hands ii
you wish to appoint a new division coun,

he said to the clerk. 81 shall be al

your just deserts you would be break

Suffering jehu," laughed the traf-
fc manager, somebody must have
been hitting you pretty hard! Who

At another time Blount might have
been less angry and more discreet.

president Of the Twin Buttes Lumber
company" he said.
Gantry drew a long breath, which
ended in a low whistle.
$50 that's what you were let in for,
was it,? he exclaimed. And then he
checked himself abruptly and went
back to the principal contentious: But
you're not going to quit. Evan. You
can't afford to do that"
why can't II
Because you have committed your
self right and left. No man can walk
out Of the ranks on the eve of a bat
tie. You don't stop to consider the
construction that will be put upon

But it won't be enough for MI. Nc

can afford to drop out he can't afford
to let YOU" Then, with sudden gray
ity, Hadn't you better let me hold up
that telegram of yours for a few
hours, Evan, until you've had time to
think it over?"
Blount sprang from his chair in q
white heat.
DO you mean to tell me that you
are already holding it up?" he de
handed.
II took the liberty temporarily" said
the traffic man coolly. There is nc
harm done. Mr.. McVickar is on his
way west now, and he will be here il
Il day or two. Why not kill the mes

But Blount was not to be appeased.

REBS ARE BUSY.

Mexicala, Mex, March 13.- A rebel army of q hundred men, headed by Generals Berthold and Leyva, marched outof Me- xica1a at midnight in the direc- tion of Ensenada, with the in tention of giving battle to any federals they may find. @
 They are encamped today at Laguna Salada, twenty five miles southwest of here.
 Berthold said he would prompt ly attack a small force of fede- ralS who are said to be holding PicachoS Pass, a narrow noun tain defile which commands the only route to Ensenada.
 He expressed confidence in his ability to defeat the detachment, but said he did not expect to get back alive.
 Reliable reports state that the Mexican government has started a force of seven hundred and fifty men from EnSenada for the purpose of giving battle to the rebels, which means the rebels are badly outnumbered.
 General" Sontley, with an independent force of forty Am ericanS, mostly former United States regulars, has gone east in the direction of Algodones.
