Fighting down the momentary sense of
defeat, and not needing Mr. Chambers
words to him. he fixed his great burning

hand toward the owners. ''Of course.
they have! And don't you listen to no
Rogers continued to talk for several
minutes: and gradually confidence and
determination came into the manner Of
the five. At the end Rogers turned to
Mr.. Chambers.
We shall stand out for our price," he
said firmly.
Mr.. Chambers had wrecked railroads
in order to buy them in at a lower
rate, but the similar procedure which
he had threatened did not seem worth
while here. He tried his plan. which
he had known had only a chance Of
success, and 1t had failed. There was
but one thing to do-to yield.
He was thoughtful for several mo-
ments. IF we should refuse your terms.
We of course in the end WOULD buy your
land at our own price But it occurs
to me that the bother and extra cost
of improving the land and opening IL
up at a later date might be as much as
the difference between your prk- and
ours. What do you think, Mr.. JoFdonT'
There's much in what You say" ~
turned the general agent guardedly.
Rogers, David, and the Mayor en-
changed quick, triumphant glanGeS.
They had won.
Mr.. Chambers again relapsed into his
appearance of thoughtfulness, and they
all sat waiting for him to speak. David
pressed Rogers hand exultantly.
While Mr.. Chambers still sat thus, the
Office door opened and his secretary
apologetically tiptoed across the room
with letter in his hand.
II told Mr.. Hawkins you were en-
gagged. but he insisted that this was i'm
portaht," the secretary said.

raised bis eyes.
Before going further. there is one
point-of no Importance, I dare say it
will prove to be-that II might be well
for US to touch upon" He focused his
calm gaze upon the five owners. Since
you have intrusted Mr.. Rogers with the
management of your property. take 1t
that he has your fullest confidence?"
"Ye-es," said one, hesitatingly and
the others followed with the same word.
Your confidence, of course. Is found
ed on thorough acquaintance"
David glanced from the impassive Mr..
Chambers to Rogers. The mask of con-
troll had fallen from his face.
A succession of slow "Yes-es'' came
from the owners.
Then, of course" Mr.. Chambers went
on in his composed voice, you are per-
fectly aware that Mr.. Rogers is a man
with a long criminal career
A shiver ran through Rogers; he stiff
ened, grew yet whittier. There was a
moment of blankest silence. Then the
Mayor sprang up. his face purpling.
Its an Internal lie!' he shouted.

CHAPTER xxx.

TIE next morning when David
glanced at the envelopes the post
man had handed him he saw that
one letter was from Jordon. He
was ripping 1t open eagerly when he
noticed that the envelope beneath 1t
bore the handwriting of Helen Cham
bers.
He dropped Jordon's letter and excit-
edly opened the other. Its cordiallty set
his heart afire. She was just back in
town for the winter, she wrote, and the
following afternoon she would be at st.
Christopher's. Would he care to come
and meet her at about for an hours
walk?
Would hei He had not seen her since
the early summer-and how he had hun
gered to see her.. speak with her, feel
her near presence! He walked across
the office, in which he was alone, half
dozen times before he took up the
second letter. Mr.. Jordon asked that
Mr.. Rogers and his associates be at the
office Of Mr.. Chambers at o'clock that
afternoon. He hoped that they would
be able to reach an agreement on terms
and close the matter ND.
David, the letter in his hand, was
rushing into the living room to read the
news to Rogers, when he saw, through
the open hall door. the ample form OF
the mayor passing out. He captured the
mayor and led him in to the side Of the
couch on which Rogers was lying.
Listen to this, will you?" David cried,
and eXcitedlv read the letter. ibid you
