"Very well, Mr. Oakley." The treas-
rer was wondering what would be his
tancrlor's action. Would lie reslcn and
ft-nvo Antloch or would he try and
ftlck It out?
Dan hurried uptown to the hotel.
Fie found his father In Ills room, scat
id before an open window In his shirt
leeves and with his Bible In his lap.
e glanced up from tho book as his
n pushed open the door.
"Well, Dannie?" he said, and his
nes were mild, meditative and in-
ulring.
I was looking for you, father. They
'old me you'd come uptown."
"So I did. As soon as I heard there
Iras going to be trouble over my work-
Jig In tho shops I left."
"Did they say anything to you?"
"Not a word, Dannie, but I knew
Hrhat was coming and decided to quit
vork."
"You shouldn't have done it, daddy,"
aid Dan, seating himself on tho edge
f the bed near the old man. "I can't
t them say who shall work In the
hops and who not Tho whole busl
ess was trumped up out of revenge
or the cut. They want to get even
vlth mo for that, you see. If I back
lown and yield this point there Is no
oiling vrbat they'll ask next proba
cy that tho wages bo restored to the
ild figure."
He spoke qulto cheerfully, for he saw
its futher was cruelly hurt.
"It was all a mistake, Danny my
onilng to you, I mean," Roger Oakley
aid, shutting tho book reverently and
aying it to one Side. "The world's a
mall place after all," and we shoulG
iave known wo couldn't keep our se
cret. It's right I should bear my own
toss, but it's not your sin, and now it
iresses hardest on you. I'm sorry,
annle" And his voice shook with
he emotion ho was striving manfully
o hide.
"No, no, father. To have you here
las been a grout happiness to mo."
"Has it, Dannie? Has it really?"
vlth a quick smile. "I am glad you
ran say so, for it's been a great hnppl-
oss to me greater, than I deserved.
nd he laid a big hand caressingly on
his son's.
"Wo must go aheaa, aaauy, as lr
hothlng had happened. If we let this
hurt us, we'll end by losing all our
ourage.'
I "It'n hpon n knockout blow for me.
Dannie," with a -wistful sadness, "and
got to go away. It's best for you

f this a good deal. You're young and
:ot your life ahead of you, and you'll
lo big tilings before you're done, and
meople will forget. I cun't drag you
Mown just because I happen to bo your
father and love you. Why, I'm of a-
plfferent class even, but I can't go on.
5'm just as I am, and I can't change
Snyself."
I "Why, bless your heart, daddy," cried
roan. "I wouldn't have you chanced!
JYou're talking nonsense. I won't let
wou go away."
But the girl, Dannie; tho girl the
doctor's daughter! You sec, I hear a
lot of gossip in the shop, and oven If
hrou haven't told me I know."
We may as well count that at nn
"end," said Dan quietly.
"Do you think of leaving here?"
"No. If I began by running, I'd be
running all tho rest of my life. I shall
remain until I've accomplished every
thing I've set out to do if It takes ten
years."
"And what about Miss Emory, Dan
nie? If you are going to stay, why is
that at an end?"
"I daro say she'll marry Mr. Ryder.
Anyhow, she -won't marry me."

"Then why do you give up? You're
as good ns ho Is any day."
"I'm not her kind; that's all. It has
nothing to do with this. It would have
been the same anyhow. I'm not her
kind."
Roger Oakley turned this over slow

Img. He couldn't grasp It.

dryly. "I want you to come back Into

'chapter xFl
OAKLEY had told his father he
was going to call at the Em
orys. He wanted to see Con
stance once more. Then It
didn't much matter what happened.
As he passed up tuo street ue was
conscious of an impudent curiosity In
lho covert clances tho idlers on tho
corners shot at him. With hardly an
exception they turned n gaze alter mm
as he strode by. Ho realized that an
unsavory distinction had been thrust
upon him. He had become a marked
man. He set big lips in a grim smile.
This waa what he would have to meet
Harper Brother!
until the silly wonder of it wore off or
a frosh sensation took its place. And
there would be tho men at the shops.
There intercourse had hitherto been
rather pleasant and personal, as he
had recognized certain responsibilities
in tho relation which had made him do
sire to be more than u mere taskmaster.
Tho thought qf his theories caused him
to smile again. His humanltarianlstn
had received a jolt from which it would
not recover In many a long day.
The hands already hated him as a
tyrant and probably argued that his
authority was impaired by tho events
of the morning, though how they arriv
ed at any such conclusion was beyond
him, but he had felt something of the
kind in Brnnyon's manner. When the
opportunity camo it would bo a satis
faction to undeceive them, and he was
not nbovo wishing this opportunity
might come soon, for his mood was bit
ter and revengeful when ho recalled
their Ignorant and needlessly brutal
insolence.
Early as he was he found, as he had
anticipated when ho started out, that
Ryder was ahead of him. Tho editor
was lounging on the Emorys porch with
tho family. He had dined with them.
As Dan approached he caught the
sound of Constnnce's voice. There was
no other voice in Antloch which sound
ed the same or possessed the same
quality of refinement and culture. His
heart beat with quickened pulsations
nnd his pace slackened. He paused for
an Instant in the shadow of tho lilac
bushes that shut off the well kept lawn
from the street Then ho forced him
self to go on. There was no gain in
deferring his sentence. Better have it
over with. Yet when he reached the
gato ho would gladly have passed it
without entering had it not been that
ho never abandoned any project simply
because it was disagreeable. He had
done too many disagreeable things not
to have outlived this species of cow
ardice. Tho Instant he saw him the doctor
rose from his seat on the s'teps and
camo quickly down the walk. There
was no mistaking thot cordiality he
gave his greeting, for "he'lntended there
should bo none. Mrs. Emory, too, took
pains that he.should-feel the friendli
ness of her sentiment toward him.
Constance, however, appeared embar
rassed and 111 at ease, and Dan's face
grow very white. He felt that ho had
no real appreciation of the changed
conditions since his father's story had
become public property. He saw it
made a difference in tho way his
friends viewed him. He had become
hardened, and it had been impossible
for him to foreseo just how it would
affect others, but to these peoplo it
was plainly a shock. The very kindli
ness he had experienced at tho hands of
the doctor and Mrs. Emory only served
to show how great tho shock was. In
their gracious, generous fabhlou they
had sought to make It easy for him.
Oakley and tho editor did not speak.
Civility seemed the rankest hypocrisy
under the circumstances. A barely
perceptible inclination of tho head suf
ficed, and then Ryder turned abruptly
to Miss Emory and resumed his con
versation with her.
Dan seated himself beside tho doctor
on the steps. Ho was completely
crushed. Ho hadn't tho wit to leave,
and ho know that he was a fool for
staying. What was tho good in carry
ing on tho uphill fight any longer?
Courago is a fine quality, no doubt, but
it Is also well for a man to have sense
enough to know when he Is fairly
beaten, and he was fairly beaten.
He took stock of tho situation. Quite
Independent of his hatred of the fol
low, he resented Ryder's presence there
besldo Constance. But what was the
use of struggling? Tho sooner ho ban
ished all thought of her tho better It
would bo for him. His chances had
nover boen worth considering.
He stole a glance at the pair, who
bad drawn a little to one sldo and
were talking in low tones and with tho
Intimacy of long acquaintance. He
owned they were wonderfully well
suited to each other. Ryder was no
moan rival, hud it como to that Tho
world had given him its rub. He knew
perfectly tho life with which Miss Em
ory was familiar. His peopte had been
tho right sort, tie was wen Dorn unu
well bred, and he showed it
It dawned upon tho unwilling Oak
ley slowly and by degrees that to Con
stance Emory ho must bo nothing more
or less than the son of a murderer.
Ho had never quite looked at It in that
light before. He had been occupied
with the effect rather than tho cause,
but he was sure that if Ryder had told
her hla father's history ho had made
tho most of his opportunity. Ho won
dered how peoplo felt about a thing of
this kind. Ho knew now what his por
tion would be. Disgrace Is alwrys
vicarious In Its consequences. The In
nocent generally suffer indiscriminate
ly along with the guilty.
The doctor talked a steady stream at
Oakley, but he managed to say little
that mado any demand on Dan's atten
tion. He was sorry for the young
man. no had liked him from tho start
and he believed but a small part of
what he had beard. It Is true bo had
had tho particulars from Rydor, but
Ryder said what ho had to say with
his usual lazy Indifference, as If his In
terest was tho slightest and had vouch
ed for no part of It
Ho would hardly have dared admit
tb.it he himself was the head and
front of tho offending. Dr. Emory
would not have understood how it
could havo been any business of his.
It would have finished him with tho
latter. As It was, ho had been quick
to resent his glib, sneering tone.
But Dan's manner convinced tho doc
tor that thiyo were some grounds for
tho charges made by the hands when
they denia;idQd Boger Oakley's dis
missal, or else ho was terribly hurt by
tho occurrence. While Dr. Emory was
reaching this conclusion Dan was curs
ing himself for his stupidity. It would
havo boen much wiser for him to have
remained nway until Antloch quieted
down. Perhaps it would have been
fairer, too, to his friends, but since ho
had blundered he would try and see
Miss Emory again. She should know
the truth. It was characteristic of him
that he should wish the matter put
Straight, even when there was no espe
cial advantage to be gained.
Soon- afterward ho took his leave.
The doctor followed him down to tho
wail. cSy
"No, I can't deny it outright."
gate. There was a certain constraint
in the manner of tho two men, now
that they were alone together. As
they paused by tho gate Dr. Emory
broke silence with:
"For God's sake, Oakley, what Is this
I hear about your father? I'd like
your assurance that It Is all a pack of
lies."
A lunjp camo Into Dan's throat, and
ho answered huskily;
"I am sure it Is not at all ns you
have heard. I am sure tho facts are
quite different from tho account you
havo .heard "
"But"
"No, I can't deny It outright, much
as I'd like to."
"You don't mean Pardon me, for,
of course, I have no right to ask."
Dan turned away his face. "I don't
kuow any one who has a better right
to ask," he said.
"Well, I shouldn't have asked If I'd
thought there was n word of truth in
tho story. I had hoped I could deny
It for you. That was all."
"I guess I didn't appreciate how you
would view it I havo lived in tho
shadow of it so long"
The doctor looked aghast at tho ad
mission. He had not understood before
that Dan was acknowledging tno mur
der. Even yet he could not bring
himself to believe It Dan moved off
a step as If to go.
"Do you mean it Is truo, Oakley?"
he asked, detaining him.
"Substantially, yes. Good night," ho
added hopelessly.
"Walt," hastily. "I don't want you
to go Just yet." He put out his hand
frankly. "It's nothing you havo dono
anyhow," he said as an afterthought
"No, but I begin to think it might
just as well have been."
Dr. Emory regarded him earnestly.
"My boy, I'm awfully sorry for you,
and I'm afraid you have got In for
more than you can manage. It looks
as though your troubles were all com
ing in a bunch."
Dan smiled.
"My antecedents won't affect the sit
uation down at tho shops, If that is
what you mean. Tho men may not
like me any the better or respect me
any the more for knowing of them, but
they will discover that that will make
no difference whero our relations aro
concerned."
"To be sure. I only meant that pub
lic opinion will bo pretty strong
against you. It somehow has an In
fluence," ruefully.
"I suppose It has," rather sadly.
"Do you have to stay and faco It?
It might bo easier, you know I
don't mean exactly to run away"
"I am pledged to put tho shops and
road on a paying basis for General
Cornish. He'd about mado up his
mind to sell to tho M. and W. If ho
docs it will mean the closing of tho
shops, and thoy will nover be opened
up again. That will wipe Antloch off
the map. Not so very long ago I had
a good deal of sympathy for tho peoplo
who would bo ruined, and I can't
change simply because thoy have,
can I?" with u look on his face which
belonged to his father.
Tho doctor stroked his beard medi
tatively and considered the question.
