wait! You talk of honor. Is 1t honor
that lets you be played the fool by q
man who uses you to lift himself to
political heights, but refuses to carry
you up with him2 You talk Of loyalty.
Loyalty is a fine thing when mutual.
But what is 1t when the man to whom
you give 1t and from whom you have
earned 1t won't ignore a petty hatred
when by doing SO he could make you
governor of this slater"
A pen which Paul had been fumbling
snapped suddenly. "Mr. Sanger" he
cried pleadingly, 81 must ask you to
end this
Remington, you shall hear me out.
Oh, he has played a pretty game! He
says, Let US be friends Of the people,
because it's going to pay some day.

the delegates of the convention"
Paul rose uncertainty to his feet,
staring wildly at Sanger. my God!
No; that can't be true"
"And do you think" Sanger insisted
triumphantly, that you, his chief sup

Read that, and that, and that, and
these" Sanger caught up and tossed

were af1davits of delegates, setting

to drag you into his disgrace. Rem

come with me. l ask you again and
for the last time. The offer l made to
McAdoo L repeat to you, and when
your term as governor is ended you
and l will work together as senators
from the greatest state in the Union.
All 1 ask is that you publicly cut loose
from McAdoo, ~disavowing your own
connection or knowledge Of his cor
rupt practices. Here Is your reason"
He tapped the sheaf Of afidavits.
Paul's hand dropped to the table,
and he looked up at Sanger, a hunted
look in his eyes,. Have you no mer-
Cyl"
Sanger suddenly leaned over and
grasped him by the arm. az ask you
nothing wrong, only what Is your
duty to the people, who have been de-

hesitated-"and I have more reasons
than n for liking you. I hope soon
to know you In a closer relation
He paused artisticaIly.
Paul shook his head despondently.

Sanger shook his arm vigorously.
For shame, mani Faint heart, you

Paul turned white: his heart gave q
great throb. Even Sanger was touch

across Paul's face.

to stammer incredulously.
