But really I must decline. OF course
l quite understand 1t would be useless
for me to try to dissuade you from at

though It might be more to your credit
to cease" She spoke indifferently.
Sanger rested his folded arms on the
table and looked at her steadily. When
he answered there was an edge to his
voice she had never heard before.
You're quite correct. If it takes
twenty years l intend to crush that
man. Whatever means are necessary
l shall USE. The end justi1es them.
But that is neither here nor there. l

yourself and the man you love. l
hope you won't be so foolish as to re-
fuse It"
Left alone, Eleanor went up to her
sitting room. She threw herself on a
couch in profound disgust.
"And hat man is my brother! Hes
q thousand times more relentless than
than the other. And the shameful
part of it Is" she cried In bitter self
accusation, that two weeks ago his
offer would have tempted me. No won
der Mr.. McAdoo hates u.s."
When Sanger reached his office he
telephoned to Paul, asking him to call
on him at some convenient time. Paul,
who had eagerly perused the mornings
stock market reports, appeared with
exemplary promptness. Sanger met
him pleasantly.
Il merely wanted the pleasure Of Civ
Ing you this myself" And he handed
Paul a check.
Paul took 1t and stared at 1t as
fascinated. Then his face
broke into a boyish, gleeful smile.
"Mr. Sanger" he laughed, this is the
finest bit of literature ever written.
You can't know what 1t means to me.
dom know how to thank you. 1 can
never repay you"
Nonsense! l charged you interest
for the margin money. You owe me
nothing-but a box Of cigars" He
pushed a box across the desk toward
Paul. Here's the brand 1 smoke.
Try oneT"
He chose a cigar for himself and
pointed it peremptorily at Paul.
Remington, l like you. l don't give
personal interest to many people.
I'm not sentimental; I'm as unroman-
tic as a cold In the head. But you're
an exception. That was why l con-
frmed Browns tip. 1t was my only
reason. l want you to understand
that it had no connection with what
I'm going to say. l expect you to ac-
cept or refuse my proposal without
considering this stock transaction. I
don't know what you think Of me
probably that I'm a mere money grub
Der and that my political interest Is
purely financial. That is wrong. /

state"
"Senatorl" Paul exclaimed in I'M
feigned amazement.
eyes, Remington. Twice l have ask
ed you to help me. Twice you have
refused. Will you tell me frankly
whyF'
"You have yourself charged me with
being a friend Of the people," Paul
parted, trying to speak jocularly.
Sanger leveled an accusing finger at
Paul, his face twitching m%irthfully.
Remington, I'm not a fool. You
don't care a twopenny d for the peo-
pie"
"Still there are honor and loyalty,
you know" Paul said gravely.
Honor? Whose honor?"
Mine"
"Loyalty-to whomT"
ITO the man who has made me polit-
ically valuable to you-to McAdoo."
why should you be loyal to himT'
Because he has been loyal to me-"
"Honori LoyaltyI McAdoo! Hal"
Sanger's snort, a departure from his
usual suaye manner, expressed the
very depth Of disgust,
"AIr. Sanger, your tone
IF my tone doesn't speak the high
est regard for you,' Sanger interrupt
ed forcefully, II express myself poor
ly. / admire your loyalty and respect
you for 1t. You're the victim Of base
MISUNDERSTANDING, l call 1t. You
may not know how strong I am In
state politics. Take my word for 1t.
I am so strong l could go to McAdoo,
as I did, and offer to make him boss
Of the state, but he refused. When a
man like him refuses the chance to
realize his pet ambition he can't lay
1t to noble ideals. He has lower mo-
lives His motive in this case isn't
hard to find. He hates me and my
sister" The last words were a chance
shot Paul stirred uneasily In bis
seat.
"Yes. he hates you and Mrs. GU.
bert"
"That isn't all. Part Of my offer waA

But not more than you're worthy
Of. However. there's no use discussing
that since 1t vas included IN bis 70
