CHAPTER I.-continued.

''Fel-low citizens p His deep-toned
bass doomed up and down the street
1.-THE time has come for revolt. The
rich and the mighty have ground us
In the dust long enough. We must
turn. We must claim our own. We

His voice, deep and sonorous, pro-
nouncing each word very fully and
very distinctly, rang out over the dis
ordered crowd like a foghorn cutting
through u misty night.
1t was the old story Of noise being
mistaken for wisdom, and 1t lnflamed
his hearers like fire to dry twigs.
Nothing could have more aroused
them. When after several minutes of
thunder and bombast he brought his
address to whirlwind close and
bowed and turned to climb down, there
was a rumbllng, mumbling, confused
cutlery that arose, one solid roar of
appreciation, and lasted until the Civ
ers thereof were hoarse. He fought
his way through his newly made adj
mirers and returned to the woman,
whom he saw standing in the door

with her back against 1t. looking at
him with shining eyes. I'll want you

CHAPTER II.

Smulski's hall was vast, barnlike
structure of one floor. Every inch of
floor space was occupied by swelter-
Ing humanity and when Fitzhugh rose
to make his address he faced an audi
ence of fully three thousand He
walked to the edge of the platform
and stood looking out over that silent
sea of upturned faces, with scarcely
an Idea of what he was to say. Yet
he felt tingling thrill of pleasure
that for a moment was as wine to his
senses. He knew what he could do
and he exulted in his gift. Many times
before he had moved men with II, but
never so large gathering as this.
At the back of the platform, seated
among her Comrades Esther Strom
leaned forward in her chair. her lips
slightly parted. her dark eyes spar
king. From that moment until the
close of his address her gaze never
left his face.
Fitzhugh charged into his address.
His voice, very low at first, swelled
fuller and louder and clearer as he
spoke. until Its resonant ring thun-
dered and echoed through the man,
moth hall. The crowd became as
single body with single mind which
drank in his words thirstily He
swayed and moved 1t this way and

him with congratulations, heaped fiat

Turning to greet fresh delegation
who had just joined the group around
him, he saw Esther standing short
way off. AS their eyes met she beck
oned him and he went to her.
"You must let me have him now"
she said, smiling upon the admirers
