And, even 80, she did not know bow
great were the perils that logged
Bruce's trail. Red Mike, like some
skulking beast of prey, waited for his
chance to strike. A dozen times he
held his hand, inspired by the animal
cunning that was his. waiting to make
sure.
Meanwhile Bruce found plenty of ev-
idence. He was disturbed by the news
that came to him from Bart Nash and
Jim Stevens, but decided that it was
better for him to stick to his own part
of the work instead Of going back to
help them. He felt that he was on the
trail of real facts, which would prove
terribly damaging to the enemy.
At last there came the chance he had
waited. A man he had bribed told
him of plan to send schooner out
on Lake Michigan from Chicago heav-
lily laden with grain.
go along" he told Bruce. you'll
see something worth WHILE"
And Bruce did. Concealed in a boat,
he saw the crew, under orders from
the captain, dumping the perfectly
good grain into the lake. It was so
that Dodson's men were creating the
shortage he was using as his excuse
for raising the price of bread to the
poor! This Bruce knew would serve

''Mr. Dodson!' said Dorothy, deeply
shocked. "Why. he's one Of papa's
best friends!'
THAT'S just the trouble" said Bruce
grittingly. Its because men who are
universally supposed to be honorable
and decent, and who occupy fine and
high positions, are at the bottom Of all
the crookedness that it's so hard for
me to reach them"
Stanford Stone, the secret head of
the graft syndicate and Bruce's great
enemy, was not deceived by Bruce's
resignation Of his Office, which filed
some Of Stones associates with de-
light.
"He hasn't given up" he said.
Don't be fooled for minute by his
resignation. That's just blind. He's
going to keep on fighting, and it's more
important than ever to put him out Of
the way. know, for instance, that
he's going to Chicago tomorrow to try
to get evidence against Dodson and
his grain shortage. Blacks gone, but
I've got another man to follow him."
So 1t came about that there travelled
with Bruce, following him as closely
as bis own shadow, desperate known
to the police of score of cities as Red
Mike. Mike meant to earn his money
With Bruce gone, Stanford Stone left
no move unmade in New York that

first blow was struck at the Independ-
ent. A hint was enough. With one
accord advertisers withdrew their sup
port until the paper faced staggering
loss. And Stone went further. His
agents approached stockholders, who,
frightened by the loss of earnings.
were glad to sell their holdings. So
Stone came into control Of q great
block of Independent stock and was
able to apply for receivership and
SO force the suspension, for time at
least, of the papers publication.
At his instance, too, suits were
brought against Bruce for criminal IL
bel and for heavy damages by the men
he had accused in connection with the
traction trust exposure. These were
strike suits, which could not succeed
when they were brought to trial, but
it was not Stones purpose to let them
come to trial. They served as an ex-
cuse for attaching Bruces bank ac-
count and his home, and this was done.
Bruce's mother was terrified by threats
of ejectment from her home, and
Stone relied upon her pleadings to In

sessed one thing that he coveted-the
love of Dorothy Maxwell. The en-
gagement of the two had not been an
nounced, but it was more or less
open secret And now Stone, relying
upon his hold over Roger Maxwell, her
father, ventured openly to go to Doro-
thy and ask her to marry him. He
was promptly refused, but would not
take his answer. He wanted reasons,

And Roger Maxwell, when she begged
him to deny what Stone had said,
couldn't do 1t. Indeed, he let her see
that he was, to some extent at least, in
Stones power. It was a dreadful d.

 NOMINEES ID
 SPEAK TONIGHT

At the Elks' theatre this evening the following named Democratic ora tors will open the campaign in Mohave county and the local members of the party will give them a warm recep- tion:
 Governor George W. P. Hunt, Syd- ney P. Osborne, David F. Johnson, Jesse E. Boyce, c. O. Case, Amos A. Belts, G. H. Bolin, Senator Henry F. Ashurst, Congressman Carl Hayden, Charles R. Howe and Wiley E. Jones.
 The gentlemen named are among the most noted orators of the Demo- cratic party and the people who at tend may expect to hear many good things relative to both national and state issues.
 MT. Ashurst is making his second campaign for senator, and that he has made good to the people he rep resents is evidenced every day in the honest work he has done for his con stituency. The other day a Republi- can said to a Daily Miner representa- tive:
 "Why should we desire a change in the senatorship; MT. Ashurst has been one of the most obliging officials I've ever had dealings with. When write him for information 1 am sure of prompt answer, and if anything can be done for me, am sure that Ashurst will get it."
 This is the sentiment regarding Senator Ashurst among the people of Arizona, without party distinction.
 And Carl Hayden is another public servant of the same sort. He is worker for the people and his record in congress is one of which any man may well be proud. And take it down the list of those who will appear to- night, asking for the suffrage of the people; there is not one who is not capable of filling any office in the gift of the people.
 Everybody should be there to give these men a generous Kingman well
