give you fair warning!" he said, his
deep toned voice rumbling like the
bur Of grinding wheels. There's only
one way you could do it,
The vice president stood up and put
on his hat, And you'll take precious
good care that 1 don't get chance to
try that way, you were going to say.
All right, David. You tell me to do
my worst, and I'll hand that back to
you too YOU do the same, and we'll
see who comes out ahead"
1t was some five minutes later when
the vice president had made his leisure
" way down to the lobby. The cleo
trio lights bIazed out, and the great
gathering place was beginning to take
on its evening air of stir and activity.
Mr.. McVickar pushed his way to the
desk, and a row of lately arrived guests
waited when he asked his question.
Where will be most likely to find
Mr.. Evan Blount at this time OF dayT
was the question he wished to have an
swered, and the obliging clerk made
the line wait still longer while he sum-
moned a beIlboy and SER him scurry-
ing across to one Of the writing tables.
"HThis is Mr.. Evan Blount," he said
to the railroad magnate, indicating the
young man who came up with the bell
boy. "Mr. Blount, this is Mr.. Hard
wick McVickar, first vice president Of
the Transcontinental Railway COM
pany."
There was no trace of the recent bat
tie in Mr.. McVickar's voice or manner
when he turned and shook hands cor
daily with the son of the man who
had defied him.

the ex-senator would so far honor a

hour to spare, and if the vice president
Of the Transcontinental company were
not the king he was at least a great
man whose invitation was in some

one or The residence streets until he
came to the open country.
It was quite late in the afternoon
when he re-entered the city by another
street and boarded a trolley car for
the downtown center. The long after
noon tramp and the conclusions it had
bred made It imperative for him to see
Gantry before the traffic manager
should have left his Office for the day.
His business with the railroad man
was purely personal. He meant to
ask Gantry. q few pointed questions,
requiring such answers as friendship
may demand If Gantry's answers
were what he feared they would be he
would seek his father and come at
once to a plain understanding with
him
The trolley car dropped him within
a square Of the railway station, on the
second floor Of which Gantry had his
Office. The shortest way to the Sierra
avenue end Of the station building was
through the great train shed.
Halfway up the blocklong platform
Blount met the incoming overland
steaming in from the east. At the
Sierra avenue crossing the yard crew
was cutting of private car. Blount

rich window hangings and the polish

A car inspector in greasy overalls
and jumper was tapping the wheels
with his long handled hammer.
Whose car is this?" asked Blount.
"'Tis Misther McVickar's, sorr-the
vice prisidint av the company" said
the man.
Blount turned away, saying some
thing which the hammer man mistook
for a word Of thanks. So the vice
president had come, Fastening upon

in the light of the overheard converse

CHAPTER VII.
A BATTLE OF L'ourRANcE.


VA LOUNT had been hating be-
tween two opinions. The fight
- ing blood In him prompted him
to stay and set up the stand
ard Of honesty and fair dealing in the
Blount name, to gather a few men Of
like convictions around him and to en-
ter the political conflict at the head Of
a movement designed at once and for
ever to abolish machine dictatorship
In his native state.
But on the other hand, the claims of
blood could not be altogether ignored.
The campaign for political cleanliness
would inevitably involve his father
would, If successful, defeat and dis
grace him. Clearly it was the part of
filial duty to hesitate before he should
set his hand to this particular plow of
reform. Would it not be better for
him to drop out quietly, leaving the
political housekeeping for some one
who would not have to pay such q
costly price for the leadership?
Thus the two promptings clamored
each for its hearing. But, after all, II
was chance and the swift current of
the occasion that decided for him and
swept him along into the vortex of
action.
