CHAPTER VII.

When Wright reached his Office the
morning after the ball. he found his
attorney, Arthur Morrison, waiting for
him. He had been drawn to Morrison
the first time he had met him and
lad asked him to take care of the pa
per's legal business. In this his judg-
ment had not been warped by a sud-
den friendship. for the young lawyer
was worthy of his confidence. Like
Judge Gilbert. he had risen from an
humble home. but unlike the adviser
of Belmont corporations he had made
his way independently of the malign
influences which constantly seem to
seek to attract young men of talent
who follow the law as a profession
To him both as his legal adviser and
his friend. Wright had talked freely
and had rejoiced to learn that Morri-
sons ideals and hopes for Belmont
were the same az his own.
Even If you hadn't asked me to

began, 81 think l would have come

Not until Tuesday night"

Before the paper came out. Wright
telephoned Gloria that he would be un-
able to drive with her but that he
would call in the evening. They had
reached the point in their fast friend
ship where she was not unwilling to
pout and let him know how disap2oint-
ed she was.
1t was four O'Clock when Morrison
arrived at the News office with copy
of the proposed franchise. AS he
threw it on the table in Wright's pri-
vate Office he exclaimed:
IF that goes through. the company
can do anything according to its pro
vision except commit murder"
Il suspected as much" replied
Wright. What right of way have
they?"
Morrison went to the map OF Bel
mont on the wall and located the city
terminus of the proposed line.
Here's where they start on their
own tracks" he explained. You see,
there's a provision in the charter OF
the Belmont Traction Company where
by any interurban line can use Its
tracks into the heart of the city upon
payment of a fair rental. Here's the
Townsend Park Line coming down
Bluff Street. and right here where
Bluff Street crosses Maple Avenue the
lnterurban's own tracks will start"
Then how does it rum"

begins east of the stock-yards ana par

Wright studied the map earnestly.

| they pick Maple Avenue?'
Its the only street they can use in
that part of town. It's the natural
since there are hills on both sides
of it"
Wright still puzzled over the map
What are those red lines crossing
Maple Avenue about two blocks south
OF Bluff Street," was his next 4ues
ton.
Those? They are the railway tracks
of all the lines entering Belmont ex
cept those that come down the riveI
from the north.
Are they going to build viaducl
there?"
Nothing Is said about it,
