Corwin's face was grave and slightly
pale when he walked away from the
window and resumed his chair at the
desk
II was not long after Corwin dropped
into the chair until the screech Of a

sound was loud. insistent, continuing

seemed-of varying degrees OF power
and volume. Huge and deep, they
came. and shrill and piping -trebles.
BASES. baritones-harsh, soft, trilling,
blatant chorus, a bedlam OF sound
At the first long. continuing blast,
Molly King bounded out OF her chair
and ran to an open window. Her eyes
flashing with delight. her checks
flushed. her voice high pitched and
eager, she called 10 someone in the
street. Corwin heard the reply:
THE Armistice has been signed,"
Falltown was already celebrating
A multitude of varying sounds arose
and eddied through the Office windows,
assailing Corwins ears. II seemed to
him that every citizen of the town
must be in the street in front of the
office, and that each citizen was try

Molly was putting on her hat when
Corwin again looked at her. Her eyes
were very bright-they glowed with a
light that made Corwn's widen with

Corwin sat alone in his Office He,
too, was glad the war was over. But
his gladness was tinged with bitter

CHAPTER III

CORW1N was astonished to discover
~ that most Of his friends were
either opposed TO war with Germany
or were lukewarm toward IL. so he
gathered that IL was not a popular
war. His own feelings had not
changed except that his convictions
had docpened When the poison OF
distrust OF the President and his Off
cial family had got into his veins 1t
had changed him overnight
II was easy to pick flaws in every
public utterance OF the President
the mistakes Of the men appointed to
responsible positions were so glaring
ly apparent that they aroused in Cor
win a grim contempt for the entire
war structure. Men were being called
to Washington in huge numbers to
take charge OF various departments
newly created. II seemed to Corwin
that these men were chosen. not be
cause OF their especial fitness. but be,
cause they were influential in politics.
Corwin foresaw many opportunities
for graft, and he had no doubt that
the entire REORGANIZATION would be
honeycombed with II. So as the days
fed and he continued TO nurse his dis
trust. he observed with sardonic sat.

Miller told him that the Central Lib

had appointed Bernard Dillon chair

Corwin flushed angrily. He and Dill

good reason why Dillon should not
have the appointment. and he could
not have denied that Dillon was hon

convinced that there we're more capa.

Miller was not the only resident OF
Palltown to express his convictions.
During the days that followed the talk

much TO the voice OF discomfort
The fault finder was omnipresent;
his voice was raised In the Office. the
