though he feared to 90 TO Halssy and
make any demands. Halsey held grim
peace for nonths-indeed. for more
than four years In all. counting from
the nrst motor made In the Kelly row
woodshed. It was risky. but for once
Rawn dared make no desperate move
Halsey talked little. He was very sad
since the birth Of HE hunchbacked
child. Sometimes he talked to vir
sinia Delaware about II: never TO his
wife. Grace.
And stu the seven days vsnasr Of
international Power remained to puz-
Gle the Industrial world. No inkling
Of the real intention Of the company
ever got out. There was, - Rawn had
predicted. no market for the stock, for
the reason that II was not listed and
for the further reason that u was not
sold. II was held In . close com
munion Of hard-headed and close
mouthed men. and there were no con.
ndences betrayed. The thing was too
big to conform to ordinary rules. In
the center Of all this stood the figure
Of John Rawn. suddenly grown large
and strong. He ruled his army. ON
GERS. STAFF and line, cavalry. infantry
and auxiliaries. ~ one born originally
to command. He brooked neither
parleylng nor thwarting OF his will
except In one instance. He never made
any demands on Halsey. never gave
him any peremptory orders AFTER that
one day In the once. months earlier.
before Halssy made his Arst tF1p to
New York.
