PRVA POSTAJA.

Teka dezela mora samo sebc smatrati IN prvo
postajo, cd katere mora socialna revolucija kora-
kati do ~konGnega ella.
Tia cilj pa lei izven dezelnih meia. Tako mo-
ra torej koromandija postati vse kaj druzega ka-
kor sedanje drzave. Njena eksistenca je opravi-
tena V TEN, da pos.ane element svetovne revolu-
cijc.
kakor Sc je smatrala Metternichova Avstrija
"a zandarja Europe, kakor je carizem samemu Sc
IN pripisoval nalogo, da potlaci vsako rcvolucijo,
tako hi bila nasprotna naloga Koromandije, da
podpira in p~ospeSuje revoluciio. Njeni zivi interc-
81 ne hi bill pri vladah drugih dezel, ampak pri
socialisticnih strankah. Kdor Sc je prvi priblizal
cilju, mora prvi krciti do MEGA pot.
Svet, V katerem bo Koromandija silila k cilju,
no incl orozje. Torej ga DO morafa Koromandija
tudi imeti. In memo ljudstvo DO morale biti spo-
sobno, da ga rabi.
Vprico teh krutih dejstev so vse fraze o mi

questions which are the subject of

yelled himself hoarse trying to warn
him off. But instead of stopping,
Storm fought his way back through
the smoke to the second car. The
trainmen FASTENED into the station
to the operator and gave the alarm.
The operator telephoned a message
instantly TO Signal, the next station.
The agent had gone over to the
camp, and it was this message that
caught Helen at Signal, alone in the
office. She picked - the receiver as
the telephone hell rang. listened TO
the excited operator and wrote his
hurried words down on a pad:
Runaway powder cars on fire. En-
gineer Storm on them. Ditch at first
spur"
She dropped her pencil as she fin.
ished, breathless with shock Then
pulling her wits together she cast
about for help. She was quite alone.

THIRD lNSTALLMENT
CHAPTER III.

The death of Helen's father dis
closed 1T once the serious weakness
of his monetary affairs. He had de-
veloped his valuable railroad proper
ties without capital of his own ade-
quate to finance them. He was the
nominal head of great transportation
projects; he had been, in truth, the
brain and energy of these. but the ac-
tual control belonged to eastern bank
ers who had supplied the funds to put
them through. And with General
Holmes death his daughter was
brought face to face with tkis fact.
In the library of her home the attor-
neys for the estate we're already gath
cred to discuss its affairs. Amos
Rhinelander, her fathers faithful
friend-indeed the sole friend among
the generals many associates that now
manifested the slightest interest in
the fate of his unfortunate daughter
was present that morning. With him,
however, as if to Offset the benefit of
his presence, was his already criminal
ly compromised nephew, Seagrue.
Helen, who had been summoned to
the library. walked down from her
room to join the little company.
To Seagrue. who, in apprehension,
had absented himself since the night
of the tragedy, she never had looked
so pleasing as she now did
Much was in Seagrue's mind and
something of it ali reflected itself in
