gan" he said. IT thought I'd warn
you. You'd better get off here.

Reuton. They're waiting for you, sir;

This lying newspaper, Mr.. Cargan, it's
been telling tales-I guess you know
about that There's a big mob. You
better get off here, sir, and go down
town ON a car
IT the mighty Cargan had looked
limp and beaten for moment he
looked that way no more. He stood
|up, and his head seemed almost to
touch the roof of the car. Over that
big patrolman he lowered; his eyes
were cold and hard again; his lips
curved in the smile of the master.

get off here? Tell me that, Dam

copper, they're ugly. There's no
telling what they might do. It's

''As a friend to man who has been

This, replied Cargan, lis the same
old bunch. The same lily-livered
crowd that rye seen in the streets
since l laid the first paving stone
under 'em myself in 81. Afraid of
them? Hell! I'd walk through an
ant hill as scared as I would through
that mob. Thanks for telling me,
Dan, but Jim Cargan won't be in the
lmollycoddle class for a century or

hear what he said? A mob. / saw
a mob once. Never again for me-"
He tried to smile, to pass it off as q

lips with his tongue before he could
go on. WCome on, Jim. Get off here.
Don't be FOOL
The train began to move.
Get off yourself, You coward"
sneered Cargan "Oh, | know you. 1t
doesn't take much to make your
stomach shrink. Get off,
Max eagerly seized his hat and
bag.
Il will, If you don't mind" he said.
See you later at Charlie's'' And in
a flash of tawdry attire, he was gone
The mayor of Reuton no longer
sat limp in his seat. That brief mo-
ment of seeming surrender was put
behind forever He walked the aisle
OF the car, fire i'll hisNeyes, battle in
his heart

said aloud. Waiting for Jim Car

our words, said Mr.. Magee, "are
engraven on my heart" He proceed
co TO gather her baggage with his
own, and was thus engaged when
kendrick came up. The shadow OF
his discovery in the smoking-car an
hour before still haunted his sunken
eyes, but his lips were half smiling
with the new Joy of living that had
come to him.
