CHAPTER xv
The Dipsomaniac

In day when bunch1ti money. how. ever arrogant it may be, has been taught to gs sort of softly. the Hatch people were careful not to make any public announcement of the things they were doing or going to do But bad news has wings of it's own Mir. Norcross was still in the midst of his mail dictation to me the morning after the bottom-all the different bottoms fell out. when Mir Hornack came bulging in.
 Whats all this fire-alarm that's been sprung about new elevator trust?' he demanded. chewing on his cigar as if 1t were something he were trying to eat Its all over town that CfS. X W. has been secretly reorgan- iZed, with the Hatch crowd in control I'm having perfect cyclone of tele- phone calls asking what. and how and why"
 The boss reply ignored the details "We're in for 1t again" he announced briefly. "The local companies couldn't hold on to good thing when they had 1t. The stock has been swept up.

down to common, ordinary English again he was saying, between cuSses {: But you cant let ii stand at that Norcross; you simply can't"
 "l don't intend to-" was the even toned rejoinder. "But anything we can do will always lack the element of tinality, Hornack. while Wall Street owns us. I've said il hundred times and I'll say it again: the only hope | for the public service corporation to- day lies in distribution of it's sccuri- ties among the people il actually serves"
 Hornack's teeth met in the middle of the chewed cigar.
 That's excellent logic-buly good l logic, if anybody should ask you, But we're fighting condition, not theory. Nobody wants r. <. l.. Common even at thirty-two You wouldn't advise your worst enemy to buy it at that figure"
 T don't know" said the boss. kind of musngly You're forgetting the water that's been put into il from time fo time by the spectators and reor- ganizers; there has been good deal of that, first and last Nevertheless, value for value, you know. and know. that the property is worth more than thirty-two. including the bonds. What l mean is that if anybody would buy the control at that figurc,-the con trol mind you. and not merely a minor ity-and handle the road purely as a dividend-earning business proposition. he wouldn't lose money; he'd make moncy-a lot of it"
 All of which doesn't get us any where in the present pinch" returned the traffic manager. "l suppose we'll have to wait until Hatch makes his first move. and I've still got fight enough left In me to hope that he'll make it suddenly Punch the button for me if anything new develops. I'm going back to swing on to my tele- phone"
 Following this talk with Hornack there was try-out with Billoughby and Juneman. but as this three-cor- nefed conference was held in the pri- vate room of the suite, don't know what was said A little farther along, when the boss was once more whiting at the dictaton. Mr. Van Britt strolled in. Mir NorerosS told me to take my bunch of notes to May and then he gave Mir. Van Britt his inning start ing off with: Well, how is the gen erai superintendent this fine morn ing?"
 Mir Van Britt wrinkled his nose.
 "The general superintendent is wondering, one more time, why under the starry heavens he is out here in this country that God has forgotten, scrapping for living on this one- horse railroad of yours when he might be in good little old New York. liy-

first into little heaps, and then Into big ones. and now the Hatch people have forced a practical consolidation
 "Is that the fact?-or only the way you are doping it out?" quered the traffic manager.
 Tt is the fact. Hatch came here last night to tell me about it; also, to tell me where we were to get off. 7"
 Hornack bit off piece of the chewed cigar and took :resh hold on il.
 Does he think for one holy half minute that we're going to sit down quietly and let him undo all the good work that's been done?" he rasped.
 He does-just that. He's putting HIS in the nine-hole, Hornack. and up to the present moment haven't found the way 10 climb out of it.
 But the ground leasesy Hornack began. Why can't we pull them on him?"
 We might. if we hadn't been shot dead in our tracks by the very men who ought 10 be backing us to win" said the boss soberly. And then lie went on to tell about the new grip Hatch had on Us.

 Than any man, yes: but for a woman, Graham wouldn't you allow something for the woman?" "I thought we had agreed long ago | that there is no double standard, either | in morals or ethicS--one thing for the man and another for the woman That is yosr own attitude, isn't it?" She didn't say whether it was or not. She was holding the hit of paper he had given her so that the light from the fire fell upon it when she said: "I suppose your duty is quite clear. In the slang of the street. you must beat Mir Hatch to it. You must be the first to dcnouncc this bribery, clearing yourself and letting the ax fall where 1t will"
 The boss was shaking his head a bit doubtfully.
 Tt isn't quite so simple as that" he objected. ''I don't know that I'd have any compunctions about sending CoIlingwood to the dump. If the half of what they say of him is true. he is a SpineleSs degenerate and hardly worth saving But to do as you sug- geSt would b. open rebellion. you know; while Dunton remains preSi. dent.

That is q small matter, intro ducing the personal element. But the results to others: to the men of my staff and the rank and file. and to the public. which, as you say, is just be- ginning to realize some of the bene- fits of q real partnership with it's [ be so easily ignored"
 You have thought of some other expedent?'

I'd fling my own fortune into the gap if had one. and. more than that. I'd pull in every friend l have in the world if by so doing I could stand the Pioneer Short Line upon a solid foundation of honest own ership. That is all that is needed in the present crisiS--abSolutely all.'
 He was on his feet now and tramp ing back and forth on the hearth rug. Al one of this back-turnings l saw Mrs. Shela reach out quickly and lay thei bit of paper with it's accusing Scrawl on the glowing coalS Then she said. quite calm again:
