A Political Vendetta
By
WELDON J. COBB
CIIAPTEK IV.
The lfisr yenr of n century, tlif Inst i
Any of tlif year, the last liour of the ilny
in the solemn hush of nn eerie seene,
(liiieon Ilojie stood alone, n waiting the
1'mnl token of power that was to make
hi in master of n vital situation!
It was six months after the sealinj of
that strange compact which, through a
fair youim girl's sterling confidence, had
bound to him the Tremaines, father and
daughter, with links of steel, for weal or
voe.
This had happened :
All that tragic story of a beloved broth
er's cruel assassination Hope had told
nil the dark suspicions and blacker cer
tainties of the seem culpability of Ter
civnl Keetie he had laid bare.
That this man, waxd rkih and power
ful by some caprice of Luck -or, through
fillister finesse, made master of millions
rtid po;ent king of a vast industrial com
bination, was now known as 'Tercy V.
Katie," there could not be the slightest
'loubt.
Inch by inch, hour by hour, from the
crisis of his political d 'throneinent, Gid
Hope had traced this ex-magnate of
Lie rotten Consolidated Silver Company. I
In and out of a la'.ivrinth of deception.!
( va-ViH, disappearance reappearance in i
a new guis and a fresh role he had fol
lowed the arch-swindler until he had put
Lis tinker upon him as the central figure
of that mastoilonie ring of capitalists, who
controlled th- metal industries of a State,
find who had "roped in" and ruined the
unsuspicious Albert Tremaine.
And now !
Gideon Ilojie had divulged his plan: To
degrade, to humble, to drag down to bit
ter defeat, the person who must answer
to him for the slaying of the one being
on earth upon whom all his love and
hopes had been centered !
Thus it was that the "sleeping city'
became a mouldering ruin, and the mag
nificent mansion on the hill a closed, aban
doned home. It was given out that the
Tremaines had gone abroad, to exhaust
in pinched retirement the remnant of a
once great fortune.
lint all the while the hidden hand of
the master genius behind the scenes work
ed deftly, cautiously, slowly, the wires
that were soon to focus on this man Kane,
a purixise bitter as death and cruel as
the grave.
lu the eastern story, the heavy slab
that was to fall on the bed of state in the
flush of conquest was slowly wrought out
of the quarry, the tunnel for the rope to
liold it to its place was slowly carried
through the leagues of rock, the slab was
slowly raised and fitted to the roof, the
rope was rove to it, and slowly taken
through the miles of hollow to the great
iron ring.
All being made ready, with much labor.
end the hour come, the sultan was aroused
in the dead of the night, and the sharp
ened ax that was to sever the rope from
the great iron ring was put into his hand,
and he struck with it, and the rope part
ed, and rushed away and the ceiling fell.
So, in the case of Gideon Hope the
tnan with a purpose all the work, near
find far, that tended to the end was being
accomplished, and in an instant the blow
was to be struck, and the roof of Percy
Kane's stronghold was to drop in upon
bim !
Midnight !
Gideon Hope stood where a ledge of
rock, fir-fringed to the extent of a semi
circle, hoiked out upon a free, broad ex
panse down, towards a stretch that
would have awed ami puzzled the unfa
miliar beholder.
The moonlight shone like day. It irra
diated a vast valley, flecked far as the
eye could see with dots, splotches, vivid
bursts of light here, a mammoth blast
furnace, opening its hot, molten throat to
ahoot out and upwards darts of spectral
fire; there and everywhere the myriad
coke ovens, uncovered to show a dazzling
aest of red, seething cinders.
The world seemed spread at his feet
for good or bad, it lay twfore him! When
lie reflected, with some of the old-time
managerial vim, how he, a master hand
at Inception and direction, might turn the
aixty thousand souls in that valley as pup
pets to his designs he, a being of will
and resource a gilded flash of opulence
tempted for a moment.
Then came the infusion of the one great
jnirjxj.se of his life the wan, sad face of
his brother seemed to float before him,
end the sudden, stern whiteness of his own
told that no temptation of wealth or
honor could turn him from his plan.
The soft, tender influences of the holy
hour mingled with the memory of a fairer
face. A vision of a home blessed with
love, a life crowned with the gladness of
children's voices, of old woes forgotten in
the soothing bliss of a new experience,
atole over this man's soul.
lie shut it out all out! His face was
lifted towards heaven in sudden sternness,
his hand described an involuntary, almost
wild, sjnasin of passion no! no! no! The
die was cast! He lived, prayed, for but
one consummation; to verify what he
knew, to prove what he Ruspected. straight
es an arrow to the target's heart, fate
must impel him towards the moment when
I'eny Kane should stand before him un
masked, at his mercy !
There was a rustle of the near shrub
bery. Hope turned. A half-eager sen
timent swept his faee, then he was sim
ply imperturbable, expectant.
A man stood before him, masked to the
lips. For a moment he was tragic, statu
esque, in his pose. Then he reached out
a hand calm, rigid, as one of iron.
"You are the man?" he said, simply.
"By tills token."
IIoie drew from his breast a disc of
eteel. or silver.
The glinting' moonlight showed graven
eymholn uim it. It passed into the pos
nession of the other.- Ilia voice fell low.
lie began to speak in the tone of one re
citing a aet story :
"You are admitted to the secret council,
I know not how. Yon havo been given
the right to command the service of every
camp, lodge and circle of the great Amal
gamated Association. I know not why.
It is mine, as the representative of the
head of an order comprising eight hun
dred thousand loyal acolytes, to deliver to
you a xuver that can call to your com
mand an army in a twinkling, that can
destroy every mill and machine in opera
tion in sixty minutes' time. Your hand
is thus placed on nn engine of destruc
tion or progress, as you elect. Take heed
how you use this power!"
"Eventually, for the aggrandizement of
the order, I swear it !" said Gideon Hope,
salemnly.
"Take."
With this simple word the speaker
placed in Hope's palm what resembled a
broken coin, a medal fragment what not,
only that ns it lay there momentarily,
curiously and keenly regarded by its new
possessor, there showed the half-surface
of some official seal.
"You have promised certain results"
began the giver.
"To push forward the cause ten years
in six months' time!" interrupted Hope.
"You have given me the power; now show
nie bow to use it."
"You have announced two objects," pur
sued the other. "To reach the man con
trolling the patents on the Kane-Latiruer
metal process "
"tine!"
"To have placed in your keeping dur
ing the next election the political machin
ery of the Amalgamated."
"Two !"
Gideon Hope's eyes blazed out he was
a war horse scenting the battle flavor!
"You will go from here," resumed the
mystic messenger, "to shop L, of the
Kanawha group."
"But it is closed?"
'That is true for repairs. But you
will find in charge Michael Delehanty.
He will take your orders, to be transmit
ted down the line swiftly, perfectly. Ex
ercise no reticence, give perfect confi
dence to this man. As are we the head,
he is the body. What you dictate, he will
fulfill."
"Good !" sai'd Hope, with faith and sat
isfaction. "You will show him, you will show-
others, that," continued the speaker, indi
cating the broken seal. "It will be
enough. Only one word : Should you ever
be tempted to sacrifice the order for pure
personal designs, beware !"
"That day," announced Gideon Hope,
gravely, "that hour, I shall deliver myself
up to the doom "
"To the doom you could not escape,
were you hidden in the heart of the dark
continent itself !" as solemnly supplement
ed the messenger.
He disappeared as secretly and sudden
ly as had he originally come into view.
Gideon Hope slowly, musingly, walked
down into the valley.
What he had striven for that for
which he had exhausted the influence of a
lifetime was his! His eyes often spar
kled, then grew set, severe, decisive.

head.
"Eight congressional districts (he four
pivotal votes on the senatorial appoint
ment, the power lo divert or forward leg
islation, as I I'hoose," said Hope. "Do
yon understand?"
"Completely, bowed the other, but
thunderstruck at this man's audacity and
ability.
"It can be done?"
"It shall be done, if you Bay it."
"The Amalgamated saya so. I am its
Instrument. You will 'reaiga' here. Se
cretly you will lay the wires ai I direct,"
said Hope. "If it is a man needed to up
set a ballot box at a certain moment, he
must be on hand ; if It is a necessity of
repeaters, they must act promptly, effec
tively, leave no trace."
"That is easy."
"We will meet again for further de
tails," proceeded Hope, "for this is a cam
paign needing shrewd, careful engineering.
But I shall not meet you as now,"
"You mean "
"You must find me a safe, a full, a per
manent disguise. I might be recognized."
He said this bitterly. He was thinking
of Kane. This man might have made it
his business to know him, during those
sinister, hopeless days of search for his
lost, murdered brother, Everett Hope. He
had so far kept out of Kane's path pur
posely. There must be no risk, no mis
takes, now.
"That, too, is easy," began Michael
Delehanty and interrupted himself.
For there was a sharp sudden rattling
of the door. One of the men in the out
side room opened it slightly. An Impa
tient, imperious hand swung it clear back.
"Where's Delehanty?" spoke a dicta
torial voice.
"The Boss!" muttered Delehanty, with
a start.
"Kane!" whispered Hope, hotly, to him
self. "I want to leave you word about the
starting up, Delehanty," began the ele
gantly dressed intruder in a true master's
tone, ns the workman advanced. "Ah, who
have you got in there?"
"Only a pal one of the care-men," lied
Delehanty, quickly.
"I sent three here," spoke Kane, se
verely, "not four! Who is he? Let's
have a look at him. You act like plottera,
my men !" he challenged. stingingly.
Who's your comrade ; a walking dele
gate, eh?"
He was coming straight for the core-
room. I here was no escape for Gideon

Would this man, after the lapse of years,

CHAPTER V.
Mill L, of the Kanawha group, was
the center of a nest of workshops, grim
and silent just now. Hope approached its
entrance, catching the glint of vagrant
light beyond the broad, imperfect plank
door.
It opened at his knock firm, impera
tive. A lantern's bright rays were focus
ed full uion him, and a hard-faced man
in working attire, backed by two compan
ions, beetle-browed and suspicious, con
fronted. "Who are you?" was challenged.
"Are you Michael Delehanty?"
"Yes,"' came crisply.
"Admit me."
"Against orders in charge of a shut
down. "Look !"
Hope unclosed his palm. Delehanty's
eyes opened wide, lowered with subser
viency. The two peering others drew back
with a respectful droop of head and shoulders.
"This way," said Delehanty.
He led his guest his master into a
small, sealed room, littered with shelves
of casting cores, and a trench or trough
filled Hope supposed, from a cursory
glance with water for washing the faces
and hands of workmen, for coarse crash
towels filled a roller nearby.
Delehanty sat astride a lox. Hope
stool erect before him.
Tnere was a low-toned exchange of
words, explanation initiatory to the main
object of his visit.
Then, plainly, bluntly, in a rare, clear,
business-like way, this past grand mascer
of polities made patent his design.
It was to overturn, to sidetrack, a vast,
a conclusive majority in the apnroaching
election, so deftly, so secretly that not a
soul of the enemy would know what had
happened until the votes were counted.
He drew out a closely written sheet
names, numbers, figured upon it. Here,
comprehensive, though in wondrous de
tail, were nil the thousand and one facts
concerning the personnel of party lead
ers, the prd:Iections, the standing of sub
ordinates, the history of the last ten elec
tions in a nutshell : averages, conclusions,
jKssibiIit i-s.
And as Hope talked, in a rapid, con
vincing tone, as he combined, cut apart,
rejoined, grouped; at the dizzying array
of arguments, projects, plots to upset,
schemes to absorb this, that majority.
Michael Dele-hanty, skilled political un
dergraduate though he was, marveled,
gasped.
In theory, Gideon Hope, in twenty
minutes' talk proved how, by finesse, by
bribery, by force, his will might come
to pass. He paused at no '.-heme or sub
terfuge to gain his ends; he showed "the
winning side" of the practical politician.
It was to be a complete, a terrorizing
swoop upon unsuspecting opponents

the lantern from a keg and advanced into
the core-room.
As quickly donning a grimy working
blouse lying on a bench, he next sprang
over the washing trough, as he supposed
it to be.
He would pose as the natural work
man, naturally "taking his wash," and
seek to evade facing the inquisitive and
suspicious-minded "Boss" direct.
But though he dipped hands nnd head
to the neck into the trough, Kane came
steadily up to him, and he was forced to
half-confront him.
"Not wanted here ; find some other loaf
ing place !" offered the tyro, with a casual
glance, and no token of recognition in
his eyes.
Gideon was relieved. He smeared the
towel over his face, heard Kane retire,
and then Delehanty returned to the room.
His entrance was dramatic. About to
refer to an immediate departure, he re
coiled, stared, gasped.
"Heavens, man!" he aspirated, breath
lessly. "What is it?" demanded Hope.
"You you wanted a disguise? Oh,
vou've got one ! Murdoch McXally
look !"
"Why, what are you staring at?" in
sisted Hope.
"Cast a glance for yourself!"
With a manner akin to real consterna
tion Delehanty took down from a beam
a looking glass.
One glance, and Gideon Hope gave a
keen shudder of dismay.
He was "disguised" indeed, and at once
he traced the truth.

Dairy Idola,
Cows becomes favorites with their
owners not altogether by reason of the
milk they produce. We have known
cows that their owners thought n great
deal of because of the kindly disposi
tion of the animals. One cow that the
writer remembers pave but a few
quarts of milk a day, but she was a pet
of the family. She would prefer the
company of inombtrs of the family
rather than that of other cows. If the
cows were being taken to pasture she
would Insist on walking by the side of
the one in charge of the herd. It is
hard to order a cow of this kind sent to
the butcher, and many people will not
do it. Instead, the animals are kept
for a dozen years, nnd not only allowed
to eat up the provender without re
turning a compensation for It, but are
alowed to add to the herd more cows
after their own ability not to produce
milk. These may fairly bo called dairy
idols. Their owners claim great things
for them without being able to substan
tiate the truth of what they say.
But the family pet is not the only
brand of dairy idol. There are the gen
eral purpose cows that quite generally
have the entire confidence of their own
ers its to their great value. They are
Idols that the single-purpose cow men
have demolished again and again, to
their own satisfaction, but they are still
to be found all .over the land.
The dairy idol is a thing that can be
distiensed with to the advantage of
the owners of the cows. The warfare
against them will be kept up, and little
by little the factors we are warring
against will disappear. It may, how
ever, take about ns long to eliminate
them as it took Christianity to drive the
Idols out of the pagan world. Farmers'

startling statements uud some whole

Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and

"A quart of milk at 8c is equivalent
In food value to a pound of beef at ISc.
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food" energy in the body as i)c
worth of beef.
"The average Individual consumes
three or four times as much meat In a
day as the body actually needs for re
pair, aud for its highest physical con
dition. "If the American people would eat
one-half less meat nnd consume one
half more milk, they would save about

Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drenching cattle Is to ad
vise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal
low. This you will find to be a diffi
cult task, nnd you will find It more
difficult and almost impossible to swal
low with the mouth open. It is for
this reason that drenching cattle Is a
dangerous practice. However, if a cow's
head be raised ns high as possible nnd
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, a portion of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
into the lungs, sometimes causing In
stant death by smothering, at other
times causing death to follow In a few
days from congestion or inflammation
of the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or In feed. If
they refuse feed give It dry on the
tongue. The proper method of giving a
cow medicine is to stand on the right
side of the cow, placing-the left arm
around the nose nnd at the same time
opening her mouth, and with a spoon in
tbe right hand place the medicine,
which should be In a powdered form,
