CHAPTER VI.
A Meeting and An Interruption

By this time the campaign was on
in sober earnest. Conover, who kept
as well posted on his foes movements
as though the league itself sent him
hourly reports, grew vaguely annoyed
as, from day to day, he learned the
Roadway Standish was making in
Granite. The better classes almost
to man, flocked to Gives standard.
By series of fiery speeches he sue
ceeded in rousing a certain hitherto
dormant enthusiasm among the bust
ness men of the town. They found
to their surprise that he was neither
a visionary nor a mere agitator; that
he based his plans not on some Tito
plan Alturia of high-souled common
wealth but on a practical basis of
clean government.
He pointed out to them how utterly
the Machine ran the Mountain State
how the railroads and the vested in
terests of the party clique sent their
ture, and then made them grant
fraudulent franchise after fraudulent
franchise to the men who sent them
there. How the taxes were raised
and so distributed that the brunt fell

the state expenditures and by the
legalized wholesale robberies. How
in fact, the populace of Granite and
of the whole Mountain State were
being ridden at will by handful of
INSCRIPTIONS men.
That Caleb Conover was the head
and front of the clique referred to
everyone was well aware, yet Stan
dish studiously avoided all mention of
his name, all personal vituperation
Whereat Caleb Conover wondered
nightly. Stenographic reports of
Gives speeches and of the increas-
ingly large and enthusiastic meetings
he addressed were carefully conned
by the Railroader. And the tolerant
grin with which he read the first of
these reports changed gradually to a
scowl as time went on.
He had made no effort to suppress
or in any way to modest these early
meetings. He wanted to try out his

Caleb Conover, crossing the street
from the side entrance of his own
grounds, had confronted the two be-

ing from one to the other, he grinned
amusedly.

Trembling with confusion, perhaps
with some deeper emotion, Anice new

"Now look at that" exclaimed Ca

my hated enemy as red and ratified as
if I'd caught him stuffing ballot-boxes
or cheering for Conover! And the lady
in the case is as cool as cucumbers,
and she don't bat an eye. Standish,
she's seven more kinds of man than
you are, or ever will be, for all your
big shoulders and bigger line of talk.
Well, we won't keep you any longer,
son. No use askin' you in, s'pose 4?

CHAPTER VII.
An Anonymous Letter.

1t was late that evening when Give
reached his rooms, for a few brief
hours of rest before setting forth on
his tour of the State. He was tired
out, discouraged, miserable. His
much-heralded meeting had been the
dreariest sore of flasco. Scarcely had
the opening address begun and the
crowded house warmed up to the oc-
casion, when every light in the build
ing had been switched off.
Inquiry showed that break had oc-
cured in the gas mains which could
not be remedied until morning. Can
dies and lamps were hurriedly sent
for. Meantime, through a certain con-
fusion followed the plunging of the
place into darkness, the crowd had
been, on the whole, orderly. In spite
of this, the chief of police, with
twenty reserves, coming on the scene,
had ordered Standish civilly enough
to dismiss the audience. Then the po-
licemen had filed up on the stage, IL
Eliminating it by their bulls-eye Ian
terms, and clustered ominously about
the speakers.
In response to Gives angry pro-
test, the chief had simply reiterated
his order, adding that his department
was responsible for the city's peace
and quiet, and that the crowd showed
an inclination to riot. Nor could the
Arm Of the Law be shaken from this
stand. The audience, during the col
loquy between Standish and the chief
had grown impatient, and an occas-
ional catcall or shrill whistle had ris-
en- from the darkened auditorium. At
each of these sounds the police had
gripped their nightsticks and glanced
with fine apprehension at their
leader for commands.

THE EFFICIENT MAN

Physicians maintain that mans vi
tally and recuperative powers depend
upon the soundness and reliability of
his digestion. A man in whom the pro-
cess of digestion and assimilation are
vigorous and in sense predominant,
tends to roundness of face and figure.
His largest measurement is about the
girth. His conspicuous physical char-
acteristics are the protuberant abdo-
men. the stout legs. the round, abund-
antly filled out face, perhaps even the
suggestion of double chin.
Mobility is not his leading character
istic. He moves slowly, is not given to
exercise, prefers to sit in we'll up
