was a sound of footsteps in
the hall, and the three
missing landowners entered
the room. They shook hands
with every one in the room,
Mcdonald included; but in
their greetings to him there
was a certain restraint that
spoke loudly.
"Quite a little crowd got
off here to-day" one of them
said, as if making CONVERSE
ton. "Couple of drummers,
nice young person | never
saw before, and a Teller who
had evidently just blown
across from Lunnon. This

He laughed boisterously
at his own Righteousness, and
Kendall got up and moved
about nervously, as if wait
ing for the room to quiet
before continuing business.
His opportunity came.
"Well," he asked, shave
you men learned anything
that prevents us from de-
Gliding who we are to sell the
right of way to-Carruthers
or Old Harvey?"
To the man who satgrimly
quiet in his chair, that free
and easy term sounded
harsher than ever before.
The boisterous mans face
sobered and his voice low
cred as he announced: ayes,
we have heard something.
Here, Kendall, you read it
to the others.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for August s, 1915

TED DrOWs, ana played MS lone game OF
chess. 1t was Carruthers, the great promo
ter. He remembered now that he had over
looked Carruthers. Carruthers at one time
had dictatorship in the Queens Own
Bank 1t had been a mistake for Me-
Donald to approach that bank, where
he had been held off. Carruthers was
still connected with it, in some form or
other. and Carruthers had learned. And
Carruthers was a man who acted. Time
had become a vital element now.
Mcdonald consulted timetables, and
surprised his landlady by awakening her
at four o'clock in the morning and paying
his bill. At five o'clock he was on the
train for Ottawa.
THE Premier was compelled to admit a
visitor before he had finished breakfast.
give got the promises of the men for
the right of way, and the promise of finan-
cial backing to see me through, declared
Mcdonald, leaning forward in his chair
"And I've come to get the charter"
The Premier shook his head. "The man
who comes first with everything in order,
as ! told you before, will get the grant.
Promises are not contracts. If Carru-
theirs comes before the board with right
of way already decided to him, he stands
a better chance of getting that charter
than Harvey Mcdonald appearing with
statement that he has got promises.
Mcdonald stared at the carpet.
Here" the Premier suggested, an

can do with the committee to get them
to give you time. See the committee.
I'll give you their names.
"Don't need 'em! Not going to see
them now," said Mcdonald, forgetting
politeness and clapping the battered hat
on his head at combative angle. am
going to get the major part of the right
of way tied up hard and fast, and be hack
here before the Carruthers crowd can beat
me to it. Good-by!"
And out he went into the street. He
went to a telegraph Office, and sent a
message to his son telling him briefly of
the new turn of events, and where he was
going. Then he sent telegram to each
of the landowners he wished to meet, ask
ing them to come to certain hotel in
certain convenient town at certain hour
on the following day without fail. In an
other half hour he was browsing in the
corner of day coach as a train pulled out
of Ottawa.
He arrived at the town some hours
later At the hotel he climbed the stairs

you suppose l could get the charter
mo man in Canada could get it as
quickly! If you were to come with the
assertion that you had right of way and
the promise of backing you could get the
charter within forty-eight hours"
would you mind writing me a letter
to that effect, as an expression of your
opinion?" asked Mcdonald, and the Pre-
mier said:
Certainly not, and smiled at the old
mans "canniness" after the latter had
made his departure.
Mcdonald was like boy turned
purpose. He travelled with rough old
blackboard, bare frame on wheels, drawn
by fiea-bitten old gray horse bought at
bargain.
Harvey Mcdonald was young again,
and faring forth on great venture.
And he was meeting people-"folks,"
he would have called them-some of
whom he had met years before Always
his business with them was the same.
am going to build railway through
here, if can, and if folks will help boost
me along little bit. All | want is an
agreement that if can get the financial
support to put her through you'll take
some stock in payment for right of way
across your land. Got no money. Don't
want any deeds until can call every one
together and say Boys, can make good
You want the railway. l want to make
some money. If it goes ahead all right,
you get stock that will mean big payment
for the land. If can't pull it through,
you're nothing out, and no land tied up.
Fair enough, amt it?"
And invariably, under the spell of that
honest, straightforward talk, they agreed
that it was.
THE summer slipped away, and the haze
of fall was deepening over the north
ern hills when a strange old man with
sturdy step, sun-tanned face and keen
old eyes appeared in the banks of Mon
treal, Toronto, Detroit, and even as far as
New York. He had nothing but a repu-
tation for probity and acumen behind
him, and men who did not know this repu-
tation asked others, who spoke we'll of
him. Shrewd old man that he was, fight
ing to discover whether or not his brain
was failing and becoming undermined by
age, he had taken particular pains with de-
tails. He showed such an exact knowledge
of the country, such certain grasp of fl
nances in that part of Canada, that there
was no disputing his statements.
And then, in New York, when all
seemed secure, came the unexpected blow
that was to engage his every faculty and
to bring out the final test
1t came in the form of private letter
from the Premier, telling him that a
corporation had been formed to build the
railway, corporation made up of men
who had long been interested in the
project, but who had dropped it on ac-
count of business depression.
Mcdonald walked the floor with knot
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-08

anything more than his hat, coat, and
shoes, fell into bed. He did feel old!
FIGHT of the men were there when he
- awoke on the following morning, eight
men whose signatures to deeds would
make everything sure Mcdonald barely
took time to drink cup of coffee
When he entered the stuffy hotel parlor
that he had reserved for the meeting he
instantly sensed that something had in
terposed since he had talked with these
men; yet he smiled as he greeted them
"Well, gentlemen" he said cheerily, Al
have received the backing we need, and
am now ready to take over deeds and give
you contracts for stock in payment
There was an awkward silence. Alec
Kendall, a rough old lumber king, cleared
his throat and came to the point.
"McDonald," he said, "since we saw
you last there has been man around in
behalf of another company. He offers
us spot cash and good price for rights of
way across the lands. and-well, some of
the boys are inclined to think bird in
the hand is worth two in the BUSH"
"How much in spot cash did no offer?"
demanded Mcdonald.
=, When told the magnitude.of the figures
it struck him like blow in the face.
dts big sum- he agreed, "a very big
price to pay; but I'll meet it with more
than that in stock"
His hearers shook their heads.
Kendall, there isn't man of you here
who needs cash. There's not a man of
you here who isn't looking for ways to
invest idle money he has on hand. Don't
you see, man, that I'm offering you some
thing better than cash? stake my judy
ment on it that the road will pay within
a year after its construction. So does
Carruthers, or he wouldn't offer you any
such figures. Carruthers is no fool!'
Again it was Kendall who spoke:
IL don't suppose l ought to tell you
this, Mcdonald. But the plain truth is
that the three other men you telegraphed
to wired to Quebec to ask you some ques-
tons, and got an answer that made them
wire on for more information. That's
why they're not here yet"
McDonalds face was suddenly old and
ined; yet there was still some of the spirit
of fight left in his eyes as he asked:
well? What has anything they or
you may have heard from Quebec to do
with the business on hand?'
1t was Kendall's turn to look confused.
But, before he could say anything, there
was sound of footsteps in
the hall, and the three
