Do you expect me to help you get rid of Mrs. Blade?" - "Don't go crazy," Slade advised, not a suggestion of feeling evldeut In his voice or manner. "It you do you are due for a sur prise.

'I'm not that sort of a lawyer," Hayea rose as it to dismiss the subject Whatever sort of a lawyer you are I made you, Hayes." I know you did," returned Hayes, bitterly. "You've told me that before and thla la what comes of letting a man make you!" "You bet, rank Ingratitude," hotly, Hayes leaned forward, his arma on hla knees and looked Blade square In the eyes. I honestly think you're drunk with all this power and prosperity. That little woman was the apple ot your eye. I always said to myself: 'There's one man who does stick to his wife!' I didn't believe wild horses could dreg you away from home " 'One minute I" Interrupted Slade. All that has nothing to do with you. Neither you nor anyone living can Interfere with me now. Have you stopped to figure out, snd I say It with all kindness and with all respect, what sort of a governor's lady Mrs. Slade would make, feeling as she does?" Well, what sort of a governor would you make If you were di vorced?" Hayes questioned, mock ingly. "Those men In there." and he jerked his thumb toward the smok ing-room door; "will they stand for that?" They've got to I own them, boot and all!" But you don't own public opinion,1 thundered Hayes, banging bis fist down on the table, scattering the copies of the senator's speech In all directions. Why don't I?" Slade questioned with an arrogant smile disfiguring his mouth. "I'm going to buy half of Merrltt's paper tonight I guess that will be public opinion enough for me. More than that, I'll stand as a man whose wife has deserted blm. Tbat'a how It will end. Mrs. Slade will de cide where she's to live but It must be at some distance." You won't get your divorce through desertion," Hayes scoffed. "I know her. You can't do It" I can't do It, eh?" Blade'a eyea held a naety expression, "That's what they've been telling me all my life. Ever since I waa a barefooted little brat running around the mine they've said to me: 'You can't do thla and you can't do that' But I always did it Let me tell you, young man, after all I've conquered no wom an is going to stop mel Can't do It eh?" he repeated, pug nacloasly. "You watch me do Ul You youm Jackanapes I . I'm as good as deserted now. Th only question Is: Are you going to see Mrs. Blade put ber aboard a train east or not?" "Mrs. Blade has been my best friend," Hayes answered quietly. "I lov. her dearly I" hla voice broke. "All right That aettles it You turn over every scrap of paper of mine you have by" he thought a moment "by tomorrow night Then you can walk the ties to the devil, young man. and go back where I found you." As Hsyee turned to go, 8trickland hurried Into the room. "Merrltt bss just Introduced a very unexpected subject In the smoking room the question of well, you've got to know It, Blade the question of Mrs. Slade."
