The great man bad his or fidquarters at tho Herald of fimsbackle two story building est side of the square. Here t homo to tho local politicians luch of the general public as b meet him, Tho former smok- tears and talked Incessantly Idea, nominations and maiorl- Jcs on which they appeared to undly versed. Their aisun- mark was their capacity for ink. which was far in excess of that of the ordinary citizen who took only a casual Interest In politics. Kenyon was a sloppily dressed man of forty-five, or thereabout, who prci served an air of rustic shrewdness. He wns angular faced and, smooth shaven and wore his hair rather long in a tangled mop. Ho Mas generally de scribed In the party papers as "the picturesque statesman from old Han over." He had served one term in congress. Trior to that, by way of ap prenticeship, ho had done a great deal of hard work and dirty woikt for his party. His fortunes bad been built on the fortunes ;of a bigger, and an abler man, who, after a fight which was al ready famous In the history of the state for Its bitterness, had been elect ed governor, and Kenyon, having pick ed the winner, had gone to his reward. Just now he had n shrewd Idea that the governor was anxious to unload blm and that tho party lenders were sharpening their knives for him. Their change of heart grew out of the fact that he hail "dared to assert bis Inde pendence," as he said, and had "played the sneak and broken his promises," as they said. In a little transaction thlch had been left to him to put through. Personally Ryder counted him an un mitigated Bcamp, but the man's breezy vulgarity, his nerve and his Infinite ca pacity to Jolly tickled his fancy. Ho had so far freed himself of his habitual Indifference that he wns displaying an unheard of energy In. promoting Ken yon's interest. Of course he expected to derive certain very substantial bene fits from the alliance. The congress man had mado him endless promises, nnd Ryder saw, or thought he saw, his way clear to leave Antioch In the near futuic. For two days he hnd been saying, "Mr. Brown, shake hands with Congressman Kenyon," or, "Mr. Jones, I wnnt you to know Congressman Ken yon, the man we must keep at Washington." He had marveled at the speed with which the statesman got down to first names. fr. Kenyon said modestly when Griff commented on this that bis methods were modern they were cer tainly vulgnr. "I guess I'm going to give 'cm a run for their money, Ryder. I can see I'm doing good work'here. There's nothlnc like being on the ground yourself." It was characteristic of blm that he should Ignore the work Ryder had done In his behalf. "You are an Inspiration, Sam. The people know their leader," said the ed itor genially, but with a touch of sar cusm that was lost on Kenyon, who took himself quite seriously. "Yes, sir. They'd 'a' done me dirt," feelingly, "but I am on my own range now nnd ready to pull oflVmy coat and tight for what's duo me." They were seated before the open door, which looked out upon the square. Keuj on was chewing nervously nt the end of an unlit cigar which ho held be tween his lingers. "When the nomlnn-i tlon Is made I guesa the other fellow will discover I ain't been letting the grass grow In my path." He spat out over the doorslll Into the street. "What's that you were Just telling- me about the Huckloberry T" "This new manager of Cornish's is going to make the road pay, and he's going to do it from the pockets of the employees," said Ryder, with a dis gruntled air, for the memory of his in terview with Dan still rankled. "That ain't bad either. You know the governor's pretty closo to Cornish. The general was a bfg contributor to bis campaign fund." Ryder bitched bis chair nearer his companion's. "If there's a cut In wages, at tho shops, and I- supposo that will be the next move, there's bound to be a lot of ba'd feeling." "Well, don't forget we are for tho people," remarked the congressman, and he winked slyly. Ryder smiled cynically. "I shan't I have It In for the mana ger anyhow." "What's wrong with him?" "Ob, nothing, but a whole lot," an swered Griff, with apparent indiffer ence. It was late in tho afternoon, and tho men from the car shops were begin ning to straggle past, going In the di rection of their various homes. Pres ently Roger Oakley strode heavily by, with his tin dinner pall on his arm. Otherwlso there was nothing, either in bis dress or appearance, to indicate that he was one of the hands. As he still lived at the hotel with Dan, be felt it necessary to exercise a certain care in the matter of dress. As be came into view the congressman swept blm with n casual scrutiny; then, as the old man plodded on up the street with deliberate step, Kenyon rose from bis chair and stood In the doorway gazing after blm. "What's the matter, Sam?" asked Ryder, struok by hl f riend'o manner. "Who was that old man who Just went past?" "That? Oh, that's the manager's fa ther! Why?" "Well, be looks most Awfully like some one else, that's all." And ho ap peared to lose interest "No, he's old man Oakley. Ho works In the shops," "Oakley?" "i'oa, tisat'a hto.Ba.Hie. Why?" curl' "J came to see what you meant by UUs.'' "Say, Milt" said one of these, "bavBi you tumbled to the notices, 10 per cent all round? You'll be lunlug to go down In your sock for coin,." "It's there, all right," cheerfully. "I knew when Cornish came down here there would be something drop shot try. I ain't never known It to fall.i The old skinflint! I'll bet he ain't los ing any mouey." "You bet ho ain't, not he," said a sec ond, with a short laugh. The first man, Brnnyon by name, bit carefully Into the wedge shaped piece J of pie he was holding In his hand. "If I was as rich as Cornish I'm hanged If I'd be such an Infernnl stiff! What good Is bis money doing him, anyhow?" "What does the boss say, Milt?" "That wages will go back as soon as ho sou put them back." "Yes, they will! Like fun!" said Branyon sarcastically. "You're a lot of kickers, you are," commented McClIntock good naturedly. "You don't believe for one minute, do you, that the Huckleberry or the shops ever earned a dollar?" "You can gamble on It that they ain't over cost Cornish a red cent," said Bianyon as positively as a mouthful of pic would allow. "I wouldn't bo too sure about that," said the master mechanic, walking on. "I bet he ain't out none on this," re-' marked Branyon cynically. "If he was he wouldn't take It so blamed easy." The men began to straggle back from their various homes and to form in lit tle groups about the yards and in the shops. 'They talked over the cut and argued the merits of the case, as men will, made their comments on Cornlsb, who was generally conceded to be as mean in money matters as ho was for tunate, and then went back to their work when tho 1 o'clock whistle blew In a' state of high good humor with themselves and their critical ability. The next day the Herald dealt with the situation at some length. The whole tone of the editorial was rancor ous and bitter. It spoke of the parsi mony of the new management, which had been instanced by a number of re cent dismissals among mou who had served the road long and faithfully and who deserved other and rqore con siderate treatment. 'It declnred that the cut was but tho beginning of the troubles in store for tho hands and characterized It as an attempt on the part of the now management to curry favor with Cornlsb, who was notorious ly hostile to the best Interests of labor. It wound up by regretting that the men were not organized, as proper organiza tion would have onabled them to meet tbls move on the part of tho manage ment. When Oakley read the obnoxious edt Itorial his blood grew hot and bis mood: belligerent It showed evident and un UBual care In the preparation, and he guessed correctly that it bad been writ ten and put in type in readiness for the cut. It was a direct porsonal attack, too, for the expression "tho now man agement" which was used over and over, could mean but the one thing. Dun's first lmpulso was to hunt Ry der up and give him a sound thrash ing, but his bettor sense told him. that. while this rational mode of expressing his indignation would have been excus able enough a few years back, when ho was only a brakeman, as the manager of the Buckhorn and Antioch railroad It was necessary to pursue a more pa cific policy. Ho knew he could be made very un popular If theso attacks were persisted In. This bo did not mind especially ex cept as It would Interfere with the car rying out of his plans and increase his difficulties. After thinking It over he concluded that bo would better aeo Ry der and have a talk with blm. It would do no barm, bo argued, and It might do some good, provided, of course, that be could keep bis temper. He went directly to tho Herald office and found Griff In and alone. When Dan strode Into the office, looking rather warm, the latter turned a trifle pale, for he had bis doubts about the manager's temper and no doubts at all about his muscular development which was imposing. "I came to see what you meant by tbls, Ryder," bis caller said, and be held out tho paper folded to the Insult ing article. Ryder assumed to ex amino it carefully, but ho know every word there.
