At almost the same moment Summer
Rollins had made quite different pro
posal one with the whole heart and
the whole love and the whole honor Of
stalwart man, and Elsie White. with
sorrow that 1t must be 30, searched In
her heart and found for him only
friendship. and the man whose image
blocked the way Of Rollins was think
ing of her even then. to the entire for.
getfulness Of Lillian Breed.
In hundred cities there were riot
and discord. In a thousand villages
there was grave panic. In q million
homes there was hunger. Commerce
was paralyzed. and three months aft
er Senator Sawyer had threatened a
revolt the entire United States was In
. state bordering on>anarchy. Pro-
cessions Of the unemployed bad been
dubbed into disruption. Street corner
speakers, among whom Ben White had
become prominent for certain rudely
affective oratory, were suppressed.

bloodshed. at the least sign Of inflam-

declared martial law throughout the
Union, when every newspaper was
against him and when countless
hordes were clamoring for bis death,

Breed. smiling. whereat Kelvin's eyes
contracted for second.
1t was significant of the remarkable
control that Kelvin had obtained over
this man, whose once indomitable will
had bent the commerce Of a nation
to his own ends, that he protested no
further against the appropriation of
his picked guards. Instead, he turned
eagerly to the immense portfolio which
Sam brought In. Spreading this upon
