V, VI and YE He lands in tho grounds of the Slattcry Instituto for Inebrintes, where he makes a friend of ono Craichead, who plans to raise capital to manufacture the new style airship Carson has invented. Thus they hope to rival Shayne, who con trols the airship industry. " r'Papa," she said. Mr. Waddy rose hastily and faced fccr. She looked like Mr. Waddy, but was undeniably pretty. Ho was blocky and sh6rt; she, round and plump, with mall hands and feet The turned up pas nose of Mr. Waddy was modified to a delightful little retrousse effect in her. "Papa," said she, "this Is hardly a place In which to entertain these gen tlemen. Wo have cleared out the east parlor." "Oh. yes!" assented Mr. Waddy, with feverish haste. "To be sure, Caroline! Take 'em In. won't you? I've got to aee the hired man. My daughter. Mrs. Grayblll, Mr. Craighead; Caroline, a a friend of mine, Mr. Carson of Ala baton. Excuse me for a minute, gentle aen." "Supper," said she. smiling, "will be ervtnl very soon." The long dining room was gloomy with decayed gentility black beams, dark wainscoting and a broad plate rail bearing wrenches, clevises, ol! cans and baskets of eggs labeled as to breeds and dates. During the meal Craighead came out amazingly In his encounters with Mrs. Grayblll, to ' "whom, as It seemed to Theodore, he was making violent love. Mr. Waddy Eat burled In thought, save when he questioned Carson concerning the uero sef. "There's no cinch In it." said Sir. "Waddy, "no monopoly, an' as soon as It's public everybody'll build 'em. I do business on cinches." "Oh. but the patents. Mr. Waddy!" cried Craighead. "You forget the pat ents." "They expire In a few years." said Mr. Waddy. "an ihen where are yeh? Ijuid, now that I made my money In land's an eternal cinch." "Mr. Waddy," said Craighead, "this matter of securiug exclusive control of the air Is a part of our plans. It Is one of my specialties." Carson was amazed. Mr. Waddy grunted as if lightly Impressed, as no doubt ho was. "How long will It take you," sold he, "to kind of draw out your plan for clluchln' tho control of tho air le gally ?" "Oh. a very brief time," said Cra!-; aead. "I have installed u fine law li brary In my apartments so the consul tation of authorities will be easy, but" "Well," Interrupted Mr. Waddy. "If you can bavo that done by tho tluu Mr, Carson can go where his mach:iK Is. put it in shape an dy back it'll do.

"'Hcforo we call It a bargalu," srid Theodore, "I should like a word with Mr. Craighead If you will excuse m " "Certainly," said Mrs. Grayblll. Craighead faced Carson Immirlugty as they found themselves ulono in tin hall.

We can endow n college later, and that What you doing?" Carson was cramming the bills Into his pocket. "Going back to Mr. Waddy," said he. "Come on." "Aye, aye. sir," said Craighead, bis hand to his forelock. "But 1 warns you, captlng, that there's breakers dead ahead and on both bows and that Craighead's the only pilot ns knows these waters. But here's with you, if It's to Davy Jones!" "Mr. Waddy," said Theodore, walk ing up to him and looking him in the face, "before accepting your offer I must make sure that I can fulfill my part of It. I must Install tho motora in the neronef. There are some financial arrangements to be made. It may be some weeks" "I'll let you have what money you need." said Mr. Waddy. "I know how It gen'Iy is with these here geniuses." Theodore grasped the old man's band, his face flushed with Joy. "I accept your advances with pleas ure." said he. "and within sixty days I shall be here with the aeronef." "As certain," said Craighead, "as the world turns over sixty times on its shafting. Got your order. Mr. Wad dy!" They took their departure. After retiring they lay awake, ex changing remarks and suggestion across the dark room. "Oh. about that money!" said Car fou. "I must return It to Dr. Wlther spoon, Craighead. You won't misun derstand me, will you?" "Not in the least." replied Craighead sleepily. "Ingrowing conscience and all that rot. Get over It as you get richer, yon know.

"We realize that frocictv is divided into two distinct classes and that tho class struggle is a conflict overj the division of the product of labor. This conflict must ever exist ns long ns the present private ownership of the means of producing tho necessi ties of life endures. "Wc claim our aim to be the or ganization of the workiug class and those in sympathy with them into a political party for the purpose cf capturing the powers of government, thnt the prodncing classes may se cure the full product of this labor. But that the workers may tho sooner gain political control, we cover nil immediate measures which will nid them in this conflict. As n menus to this end we demand tho following measures. "We demand the public construction of electric power plants for the purpose of supplying heat, light and power and the public own ership nnd operation of electric rail ways. "(2) We demand the eight-hour work dny for labor, the abolition of .the contract system on nil public works, nnd thnt nil such work shall be directed by the proper officials nnd living wages be paid to nil pub lic employes. "(3) We demand the building of commodious hchool houses in each district in the county, the use of a uniform set of text books and the increase of xalnries to teachers ac cording to ability without regard to sex. "(4) We demand the enforcement of the Oregon child labor and com pulsory education law. "(5) We especially demand the enfranchisement of all citizens ovor 21 years of age, regardless of sex, color or property. "(0) We pledge our candidates. if elected, to sign a blnnk resigna tion to be filled nnd presented at any time they fail to work for tho prin ciples of socialism."
