who cared absolutely nothing for tha
property as a working factor in tho
life and activities of the region II
served.
That was the way Mrs. Sheila had
put it to the boss. one evening along
in the summer when they we're sit
ting out on the Hendricks porch. and
had butted In. as usual, with a bunch
OF kilograms that didn't matter. She
had said that the experiment coy.ldn'c
be a success unless the conditions
could be changed in some way; that
so long as the railroads were owned
or controlled by men of the Mr.. Dun
ton sort and used as counters in the
money-making game, there would never
be any real peace between the COM
panies and the people at large.
Ii was at Bauxite Junction that we
picked up Mr.. Hornack. i was glad
when / saw him come in. had just
been thinking that 1t wasn't healthy
for the boss to be grilling there at
the window so long alone, and knew
Mr.. Hornack would keep him talking
about something or other all the rest
of the way in.
For little while they talked busi-
ness. BY and by the business talk
wound itself up and | heard Mr.. Hor-
mack say: II saw Ripley going in on
Number Six this morning and he
had company; Mrs Macrae, and the
majors wife, and the husky little-girl
cousin. They've been visiting at the
capital, so they told me, and / expect
the major will be mighty glad to see
them back"
/ didn't hear what Mr.. Norcross
said. if he said anything at all, but
If had been stone deaf I think
should have heard the thing that Mr..
Hornack said when he went on.
II heard something the other day
in Portal City that seems pretty hard
to believe, Norcross. 1t was at one
of Mrs. Stagford's evenings and
was sitting out dance with a certain
young woman who shall be nameless.
We were speaking of the Hendricks.
and she gave me rather broad hint
that Mrs. Macrae isn't widow at
all that her husband is still living"
Ny heavens! / had figured out
thousand ways in which the boss might
get wised up to the dreadful truth,
but never anything like this; to have
it dropped on him that way out of
clear sky
For a minute or two he didn't say
anything, but when he did speak,
saw that the truth wasn't going to
take hold.
"That is gossip, pure and simple,

friends. and | have been as intimate

in their household as any outsider
could be. It's merely idle gossip, can
assure you"
Maybe So" said Mr.. Hornack, sort
of drawing in his horns when he saw
how positive the boss was about 1t.
"Pm not beyond admitting that the
young woman who told me Is little
inclined that way. But the story was
pretty circumstantial it went so far
as to assert that Macrae' wasn't Mrs.
Sheila's married name at all, and to
say that her long stay with her West
ern cousins was-and still is-really a
flight from conditions that were too
humiliating to be borne"
II don't care what was said, or
who said it," the boss cut In brusquely.

woman, and especially woman like
Sheila Macrae, would attempt TO pass
herself off as a widow when she wasn't
one"

temporizing little. "But on the
other hand, I've never heard the ma.
jor, or any one else, say outright that
she was a widow. 1t seems to be just
taken for granted. 1t stirred me up
a bit on Van Britt's account. You

election, rather late in the afternoon,
that the boss had call from min
ing promoter named Dawes, represent
ing bunch of mine owners at Strath-
coma who were having trouble with
smelter. The smelter, one of the few
Hatch monopolies which hadn't been
shaken loose as yet, was located in
the gulch six miles below Strathcona,
and 1t was served exclusively by it's
own industrial railroad, which 1t was
using as a lever to pry an excessive
hauling charge out of the mine own
ers. Wouldn't Mr.. Norcross try to do
something about 1t?
The boss said he'd do anything he
could, and asked what the mine own
ers wanted. Dawes said they wanted
help; that they were going to hold
mass meeting in Strathcona the fol-
lowing morning at nine o'clock. Would
1t. or wouldn't it, be possible for Mr..
Norcross to be present at that meet
ing?
OF course, the boss said he'd go.
Dawes went away, and before we
broke off to go to dinner at the rail-
road club, l was given memorandum
order for special.
At the club / found that Mr.. Nor
cross had an invited guest-Major
Kendrick. For week or two Mrs.
Sheila had been visiting at the state
capital, and the majors wife and
Maisie Ann were with her. So the
good old major was sort of unattached,
and glad enough, 1 took it, to be
guest at anybody's table.
For while the table talk-in which,
of course, Jimmie Dodds hadn't any
part whatever-circled around the late
landslide election, and what Governor
Burrell's party would do, now that 1t
had the say-so. But by and by 1t
got around to the railroad situation.
you're putting up a mighty good
fight, Graham, my son, but 1t isn't
over yet-not by jugful, suh"-this

Chandler any more questions about

fireman's box.
Maclfse got his orders In due time
and we pulled out. I noticed that
when he gave Chandler the word. he
also made motions with his lantern
