For the first time tu his life Ids strength seemed to him futile, mude so by a slight, pretty girl who looked upon him as a lower order o f being. Then. In a quick revulsion of feeling, the old pride o f strength returned to him In all Its arrogance. "I wonder I don’t kilt you.” he growled savagely. "I'm uot afraid o f you." she said contemptuously.

She f felt tile serpent’s hot breath as it pass­ ed—interminable—beneath her and the urcbed. rigid body that bridged the rolls and held her. Bob, too, bad seen. For a time, while the clock might tick off a long minute, the group stood as though paralyzed, the girl leaning weakly against Bob’s strong arm. It was Sanger who first curne out o f hb daze. "Eleanor, Eleanor! Thank God!” 1? was a signal for them oil to gathei around the pale, trembling girl, forcing Bob uwuy from her and staring at her gtupldlyi nervously, gabbling unlntel- llglbly. Suddenly Bob strode into the group, u towering tigure of wrath, elbowing his way roughly. Before his sudden intrusion the group Involuntarily fell back, leuving him face to face with the girl whom he had saved. A hot rage possessed him. He saw red as on that night when he had fought Haggin. The girl, in the reaction from her fright, did not see this. "You saved my life.” she said trembllugly. "It was very good o f you.” "You little fool!” Bob burst out hoarsely in bis auger. “ How dare you risk my life?” Eater, in a cooler moment. Bob re­ membered the girl and could but ad­ mire her, by bis roughness restored in- stuutly to tier strength and courage. Her head went back spiritedly. "H ow dare you reprove me?” she said. "Dare?” Bob held out one great, hnlry arm and then glanced over the slender tigure before him. He could . Bob met his enthusiasm indifferent­ ly. “ Ob. I'm not with you until you meet my terms, you know.” "W hat's the matter with the terms I offered? Aren’t they liberal enough?” demanded MacPberson. “ No. I ’ll turn over the Fourth. Sev­ enth. Thirteenth and Fourteenth by 3,000, you to give me $10.000. and $10,- 000 for expenses, the Sixth legisla­ tive's share o f the payroll to come to me for appointment and nil orders. Of course this means the Sixth's reg­ ular share." It bad been customary under Steele and Harmon to give the Sixth legislative district the lion's share o f the plums. “ Say,” MacPherson sneered, “ you take over the leadership o f the purty and buy m.v support. It would be cheaper for me." “ Take It or leave It.” Bob said cool­ ly. "1 can do better with Harmon.** "But I don't propose to buy you at this price every trip." “ O f course. This deal only covers this tight. We mayn't be together next time.” j “ Why not?” the boss demanded ! sharply. " I don’t like you." Bob replied, "and you don’t like me. We mightn’t get along, you know. Then I'll go some­ where else. You can muke out a check for the twenty thousaud right now." “ Before you deliver the goods? Not much!” "Ob. yes, you will,” Bob said easily. “ I'll do what I promise, and you know it. 1 don't know that you will, and after the election 1 couldn't make you do it. Make it to m.v order.” "That is. I’ m to trust you. and you won't trust me?" "You can; 1 can't.” "W ell, for concentrated gall you take the blue ribbon!" MacPherson ejac­ ulated. But he made out the check as Bob bad suggested. It was a lucky bargain for Mac­ Pherson. Hob kept hla promise. His four wards returned a majority of nearly 4.000 for the Citizens’ party ticket. That party also carried the city by 3.000. So came the "reformation." nnd Rob­ ert McAdoo began bis political career In earnest. IT.
