CHAPTER XIV
The pipsomaniac

In day when punched money, how
ever arrogant it may be, has been
taught to go sort of softly. the Hatch
people were careful not to make any
nublic announcement of the things
they were doing or going to do. But
had news has wings of its own. Mr..
Norcross was still in the midst Of his
mail dictation to me the morning after
the bottom-alI the different bottoms
fell out, when Mr.. Hornack came
bulging in.
"What's all this fire-alarm that's
been sprung about new elevator
trust?" he demanded, chewing on his
cigar as if it were something he were
irving to eat. "It's all over town that
G.. s. & w. has been secretly reorgan-
ized. with the Hatch crowd in control.
I'm having a perfect cyclone Of tele-
phone calls asking what. and how,
and why"
The boss reply ignored the details.
"We're in for it again." he announced
briefly. 'srhe local companies couldn't
hold on to good thing when they had

Crowd Gets Free sneeze.

The next time Johnny Jimpson
takes his grandfather to the baseball
game he Is going to make the old
man promise to leave his snuff box
home. The two were seated in the
stand when along about the second
inning Grandfather Jimpson felt that
he needed pinch Of snuff. He pro
duced beautifully engraved snuff
box and opened 1t. Unfortunately he
did not figure on the wind velocity.
for no sooner had he opened the COW
er than the contents We're blown from
the box. Then 1t seemed that every
one in the stand began to sneeze.
Look what you've DONE" moaned
young Jimpson TO his grandfather.
"All this sneezing Is liable to rattle
the players and the Cubs might lose"
"Confound the players !" replied the
old man. II want my snuff. Look at
everyone sneezing around. here on my
snuff. Why didn't some Of it blow on
me?

first into little heaps, and then into
big ones, and now the Hatch people
have forced practical consolidation.
rs that the fact?-Or only the way
you are doping it out? queried the
traffic manager.
1T Is the fact. Hatch came here
last night to tell me about It; also,
to tell me where we were to get off,"
HOrnack bit on piece Of the chewed
cigar and took fresh hold on 1t.
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 donef" he rasped
HE does-just that. He's putting
us in the nine-hole, Hornack, and up
to the present moment haven't found
the way to climb out of 1t"
"But the ground leases?' Hornack
began. "Why can't we pull them on
him?"
1--WE might. II we hadn't been shot
dead in our tracks by the very men
who ought to be backing us to win,'
said the boss soberly. And then he
went on to tell about the new griI
Hatch had on us.
OF course, Hornack blew up at that
and what he said wasn't for publica
tion. For minute or so the air OF
the office was blue. When he go

"But you can't let it stand at that

II don't intend to-" was the even
toned rejoinder. "But anything we

owns us. I've said 1t hundred times
and I'll say it again: the only hope

day lies in q distribution of its securi-
ties among the people 1t actually

Hornack's teeth met in the middle
of the chewed cigar.
That's excellent logic-bully good
logic, IL anybody should ask you But
we're fighting condition. not a theory.
Nobody wants p. S. L. Common even
at thirty-two. You wouldn't advise
your worst enemy to buy 1t at that
figure"
II don't know" said the boss, kind
of muslngly. You're forgetting the
water that's been put Into it from time
to time by the spectators and reOr-
ganizers; there has been good deal
of that. first and last. Nevertheless,

money-a lot of II"
"All of which doesn't get us any

the traffic manager II suppose Wen

first move. and I've still got fight
enough left In me to hope that he'll
make it suddenly. Punch the button
