(Continued from Wednesday.)
Mr. nenyon, smiling nis unwenneo,
mirthless smile, seated himself In his
carriage. Sir. Ryder, slightly bored
and wholly cynical, followed his ex
ample. Mr. Stokes and Mr. Bentlck.
perspiring and abject nnd looking for
all the world like two criminals, drop
ped dejectedly Into the places assigned
them. Only Cap Roberts and the Hon.
Jeb Barrows seemed entirely at case.
They were campaign fixtures. The
band emitted a harmony destroying
crash, while Mr. Jimmy Smith, the
drum major, performed sundry bewil
dering passes with his gilt stafl. The
Young Men's Kenyon club fell over
Its ow feet into line, nnd-the proces
sion started for the rink. It was a
truly Inspiring moment
Since nn early hour of the evening
the people had been gathering at the
rink. It was also the opera house,
where during the winter months an
occasional repertory company appeared
m "East Lynne," "The New Magdalen"
or Tom Robertson's "Caste."
The place was two-thirds full at a
quarter to 8, when a fleet courier ar
rived with the gratifying news that the
procession was Just leaving the square
and that Kenyon was riding with his
hat off and In familiar discourse with
Stokes and Bentlck.
Presently out of the distance drifted
the first strains of the band. A little
later Cap Roberts and the Hon. Jeb
Barrows appeared on the makeshift
stage from the wings. There was
an applausive murmur, for the nou.
Jeb was a popular character. It was
said of him that he always carried n
map of the United States in tobacco
Juice on bU shirt front. He was bottle
nosed and red faced. No man could
truthfully say he had ever seen him
drunk, nor had any one ever seen him
sobor. He shunned extremes. Next
the band filed Into the balcony and was
laboriously sweating its wuy through
the national anthem when Kenyon uud
Ryder appeared, followed by the
wretched Stokes and Bentlck. A burst
of applause shook tho house. When It
subsided the editor stepped to the front
of the stage. With words that halted,
for tho experience was a new one, be
Introduced the guest of tho evening.
It was generally agreed afterward
that It had been a great privilege to
hear Kenyon. No one knew exactly
what It was all about, but that was a
minor consideration. The congress
man was woll on toward the end of his
speech and bad reached tho local situa
tion, which he was handling In what
the Herald subsequently described as
-"a masterly fashion, cool, logical and
convincing," when Oakley wandered In
and, unobserved, took a seat near the
door. He glanced about him glumly.
There had been a time when these peo
ple had been, In their way, his friends.
Now those nearest him even avoided
looking In his direction. At last he be
came conscious that some ono far
down near the stage and at the other
side of the building was nodding and
smlllug at him. It was Dr. Emory.
Mrs. Emory and Constance were with
him. Dan caught the flue outline of
the latter's profllo. Sbo was smiling
'an amused smile. It was her first po-
u litlcal meeting, nud she wns finding It
quite as funny as Ryder bad said it
- would be.
Dan listened Idly, hearing only a
, word now and then. At length a sen
tence rousod him. The speaker was
advising the men to stand for their
Tights. Ho rose hastily and turned to
leave. He had heard enough, but some
ono cried out, "Here's Oakley!" and In
stantly every ono in tho place was
staring at him.
Kenyon took a step nearer tho foot
tights. Either ho misunderstood or
else he wished to provoko an argument,
for bo said, with slippery civility: "I
shall be pleased to listen to Mr. Oak
ley's Bldo of the questlou. This Is a
free country, and I don't deny him or
i any man tho right to express his views.
The fact that I am unalterably oppos
ed to tho power he represents Is no bur
to tho expression hero of his opinion."
Oakley's faco was crimson, no
paused Irresolutely, He saw tho Jeer
on Ryder's lips, and tho destro pos
sessed him to toll theso peoplo what
fools they were to listen to tho cheap,
luugy patriotism of tho demagoguo on
the stage.
lie rested a hand on the back of the
chair In front of him and leaned for
ward with an arm extended at tho
speakor, but his eyes wero fixed on
Miss Emory's face. She was smiling
at him oncourogingly, bo thought, bid
ding him to speak.
"This Is doubtless your opportunity,"
he said, "but I would like to ask what
earthly Interest you bavo In Autioch
beyond the votes It may glvo you 7"
Konyon smiled blandly and turned
for ono fleeting Instant to wink at Ry
der. "And my reply Is this: What
about tho twenty million dollar speci
men of American manhood who Is
dodging around London on tho money
he's mado hero In this state, yes, and
in this town? He's gouo to England
' to break his way Into London society,
and, lacldontally, to marry his daugh
ter to a title."
A roar of laughter greeted this Bally.
"That may bo," retorted Oakley hot
ly, "but Autioch has been getting Its
s&aro of his nioncr too. Don't foruet

hat. There':) not n storekeeper In this
iiiilleiice whose bank account will nut
jhow In hard American dollars what
Jenernl Cornish does for Autioch when
Vntlocli Is willing to let him do for it
Int. granted lhat what you have said
d true. v. ha c:in best afford to meet the
present situation, General Cornish or
these men? On whom doc3 the hard
ship fall heavier, on them or on him?"
"That was not the spirit which pre
vailed at Bunker Hill and Lexington!
No, thank God; our fathers did not
stop to count the cost, and we have our
battles today Just us vital to the cause
of humanity, and I for one would rath
er see the strong arm of labor wither
In Its socket than submit to wrong or
Injustice!"
Oakley choked down his disgust and
moved toward the door. There were ap
plause nnd one or two cat calls. Not
heeding them, he made his way from
the building. Ho had reached the
street when a detaining hand was
placed upon his arm. He turned sav
agely, but it proved to be only Turner
Joyce, who stepped to his side, with a
cheerful "Good evening, Mr. Oakley.
They Eeom to be having a very gay
time in there, don't they?"
"nave you been In?" demanded Oak
ley grimly.
"I? Oh, no! I have just been taking
a picture home?"
"Well," said Oakley, "I have Just
been making a fool of myself. I hope
that Is something you arc never guilty
of, Mr. Joyce." Joyce laughed and
tucked his hand through his compan
ion's arm.
"Doesn't every one do that occasion
ally?" he asked.
Dan shook off his bitterness. Re
cently he had been seeing a great deal
of the little nrtist and his wife, who
were about the only friends he or his
father had left In Autioch. They walk
ed on In silence. Joyce was too tactful
to ask any questions concerning his
friend's affairs, so he ventured an Im
personal criticism on Kenyon, with tho
modest diffidence of a man who knows
he Is going counter to public sentiment.
"Neither Ruth nor I hod any curiosi
ty to hear him speak tonight. I heard
hlra when he was here last. It may be
my bringing up, but I do like things
that nre not altogether rotten, and I'm
afraid I count him as sort of decayed."
Then he added, "I feuppose everybody
was nt tho rink tonight?"
"The place was packed."
"It promises to bo a lively campaign,
I believe, but I take very little Interest
In politics. My own concerns occupy
most of my time. Won't you come in,
Mr. Oakley?" for they had reached lila
gate.
On the little side porch which opened
off the kitchen they found Ruth. She
rose with a pleased air of animation
when she saw who was with her hus
band. Oakley had lived up to his rep
utation as a patron of the arts. He
had not forgotten, In spite of his nuxl
eties, n promise made Joyce mouths
before, nnd at that very moment safe
ly bestowed In Mrs. Joyce's possession
were two formidable looking strips of
heavy pink paper, which guaranteed
tho passage of tho holder to New York
nnd return.
"I hope this confounded strike is not
going to Interfere with you, Mr. Joyce,"
said Oakley as he seated himself. He
had discovered that they liked to talk
about their own plans and hopes, nnd
the trip east was tho chief of these. Al
ready ho had considered It with them
from every concelvoblo point of view.
"It Is aggravating, for, of course, If
people haven't money they cau't very
well afford to havo pictures painted.
But Ruth Is managing splendidly. I
really don't thluk It will make any
special difference."
"I am determined Turner shall not
miss this opportunity. I think If It
"I would like to ink uluit earthly inter
cut vou have In AuttocltT"
wasn't for me, Mr. Oakley, he'd give

has set his heart on."
"He's lucky to have you, then. Most
men need looking nfter."
"I'm sure I do," observed tho HtUo
artist, with commendable meekness.
He was keenly alive to bis own short
comings. "I'd never get auy sort of
prices for my work If she didn't take
n hand in tho bargaining."
"Some ono has to be mercenary,"
said Ruth apologetically. "It's nil very
well to go around with your head In
the clouds, but" It doesn't pay."
"No, It doesn't pay," agreed Dan.
There was a long pause, which a
cricket Improved to make Itself heard
nbove the sweep of the night wind
through the treetops. Then Ruth said:
"I saw Miss Emory today. She asked
about you."
Mrs. Joyce and her husband had tak
en n passionate Interest In Oakley's
love affair and divined the utter wreck
of his hopes.
"Did she? I saw her at the rink, too,
but of course not to speak with."
Turner Joyce trod gently but encour
agingly on his wife's foot He felt
that Oakley would be none the worse
for a little cheer, and he had unbound
ed faith In his wife's delicacy nud tact.
She was Just tho person for such a
message.
"She seemed that Is, I gathered from
what she said, and It wasn't po much
what she snld as what she didn't say"
Dan laughed outright, and Joyce
joined In with ajiaulc stricken chuc
kle. Ruth was making as bad a botch
of the business as he could have mnde.
"I am not at all sensitive," said Dan,
with sudden candor. "I have ndinlred
her lmmenssely; I do still, for the mat
ter of that"
"Then why don't you go there?"
"I can't, Mrs. Joyce. You know
why."
"But I think she looks nt It different
ly now."
Oakley shook his head.
"No, she doesn't. There's just one
way she can look at It."
"Women are always changing their
mlnd.." persisted Ruth. It occurred to
her that Constance had been nt her
worst In her relation with Onkley. If
she cared a scrap for him, why hadn't
flifi stood by him when he needed It
most? The little artist blinked tender
ly at his wife. He was lost In ndinlra
tion at her courage. He would not
have dared to give their friend this
comfort.
The conversation languished. They
heard tho strains of the band when
the meeting nt tho rink broke up nnd
the voices of the peoplo on the street,
nnd then there was silence again.
CHAPTER XVI.
nE hot days dragged on. Dan
and his father moved down to
the shops. Two cots wero
placed In the pattern room,
where they slept and where Roger
Oakley spent most of his time reading
his Bible or In brooding over the situ
ation. Their meals were brought to
them from tho hotel. It was not thnt
Dan suspected the men of auy sinister
Intentions, but he felt it was just ns
well that they should understand the
utter futility of any lawlessness, and,
besides, his father wns much happier
In tho solitude, of tho empty shops than
ho could have been elsewhere In An
tloch. All day long he followed Mc
CHntoek about, helping with such odd
jobs ns were necessary to keep the ma
chinery In perfect order. He was com
pletely crushed nnd broken In spirit
Ho had aged too.
At the office Dan saw only nolt and
McCllntock. Sick of Kerr's pieseuce
and exasperated at his evident sympa
thy for tho strikers a sympathy he
was at no pains to conceal ho had laid
him off, n step that was tantamount to
dismissal. Miss Walton was absent on
her vacation, which he extended from
week to week. It wns maddening to
him to have her around with nothing
to do, for ho and Holt found it difficult
to keep decently busy themselves now
tho shops had closed.
Holloway, the vice president of the
road, visited Antloch just once during
the early days of the strike. Ho ap
provedbeing of an approving disposi
tion of all Oakley had done nnd then
went back home to Chicago, after tell
ing him not to yield a single point lu
tho fight.
"We've got to starve 'em Into submis
sion," said this genial soul. "There's
nothing like an empty stomach to sap
a man's courage, especially when he's
got n houseful of hungry, squalling
brats. I don't know but what you'd
better arrange to get in foreigners.
Americans are too Independent"
