A
Political Vendetta
WELDON J. COBB
C H A P T E R IV.
The last year of a century, the last
day of the year, the last hour o f the day
— la the solemn hush of an eerie scene,
Gideon Hope stood alone, awaiting the
final token of power that was to
him master of a vital situation!
It was six months after the sealing of
that strange compact which, through a
fair young girl's sterling confidence, had
hound to him the Tremaines, father and
daughter, with links of steel, for weal or
woe.
'htis had happened:
A ll that tragic story o f a beloved broth­
er’s cruel assassination Hope had told—
all the dark suspicions and blacker cer­
tainties o f the seerrt culpability o f Per-
civ-al Keene he had laid bare.
That this man, waxed ridh and power-
ful by some caprice o f Luck— or, through
sinister finesse, made master of millions
and potent king of a vast industrial com­
bination, was now known as “ Percy V,
Kane,” there could not be the slightest
doubt.
Inch by Inch, hour by hour, from the
crisis of his political dethronement, Gid­
eon Hope had traced this ex-magnate of
the rotten Consolidated Silver Company.
In and out of a labyrinth of deception,
evasion, disappearance- reappearance in
a new guise and a fresh role— he had fol­
lowed the arch-swindler until he had pat
hia finger upon him as the central figure
of that mastodon 1 c ring of capitalists, who
controlled the metal industries o f a State,
and who had “ roped in" and raised foe
unsuspicious Albert Tremaine.
And now !-----
Gideon Hope had divulged his p la a : 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 hia 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.
Bat 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 purpose bitter as death and cruel as
the grave.
In Che eastern story, thfe heavy slab
that was to fsll on the bed of state in the
flush of conquest was slowly wrought out
of the quarry, the tunnel for the rope to
bold it to its place was alowly carried
through the leagues of rock, the slab was
•lowly raised and fitted to the roof, the
rope was rove to it, and slowly taken
through foe milea of hollow to foe great
Iron ring.
A ll being made ready, with much labor,
and the hour come, the sultan was aroused
in the dead of the night, and the sharp­
ened ax that was to sever foe rope from
foe great iron ring was pat into hia hand,
and be struck with it, and tha rope part­
ed, and rushed away and the ceiling fell.

and 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

Midnight!
Gideon Hops stood where n ledge of
rock, fir-fringed to the extent o f a semi­
circle, looked out upon s free, broad ex­
panse— down, towards a stretch that
would have awed and 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
shoot out and upwards darts of spectral
fire; there— and everywhere— the myriad
coke ovens, uncovered to show a dazzling
nest o f red, seething cinders.
The world seemed spread at hia feet—
for good or bad. it lay before him ! When
he reflected, with some of the old-time
managerial vim, bow he, a master hand
nt Inception and direction, might turn the
sixty thousand souls in that valley as pup­
pets to his designs— he, s being of will
and resource— s gilded flash of opulence
tempted for s moment.
Then came the infusion of the one great
purpose o f his life— the wan, sad face of
his brother seemed to float before him,
and 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
boar mingled with the memory o f s fairer
foce. A vision of a home blessed with
love, a Ilfs crowned with the gladness of
children’s voices, o f old woes forgotten in
tbs soothing bliss of a new experience,
stole over this man’s soul.
Hs shat it oat— all o a t! Hia face was
lifted, towards heaven in fudden sternness,
Ms hand described an involuntary, almost
wild, spasm of passion— no I n o ! no ! The
dia was cast! Hs lived, prayed, for but
one consummation; to verify what he
knew, to prove what he suspected, straight
as an arrow to the target’s heart, fats
must impel him towards foe moment when
Percy Kane should stand before him un­
masked, -at his mercy!
There was a rustle of foe near shrub­
bery. Hope turned. A half-eager sen­
timent swept his face, then he was sim­
ply imperturbable, expectant.
A twa« stood before him, masked to the
lips. For a moment be was tragic, statu-
saque, in Us pose. Then ha reached out
a hand— calm, rigid, as one of Iron.
“ You are tbs man?” hs said, simply.
“ By this token.”
Hope drew from hia breast a disc of
steel, or silver.
“ You are admitted to the secret council,
I know not how. You have been given
the right to command the service o f every
camp, lodge and circle of the great Amal
gamated Association. I know not why.
It is mine, aa tbs representative o f the
head o f an order, comprising eight hun­
dred thousand loyal acolytes, to deliver to
you a power that can call to your com­
mand an army in a twinkling, that can
destroy every mill and ms chin« in opera
tion in sixty minutes’ time. Your hand
is thus placed on an engine o f destruc­
tion or progress, as you elect. Taka head
how you use this power!”
“ Eventually, for the aggrandisement of
the order, I swear i t !” said Gideon Hope,
solemnly.
“ Taka”
With thia simple word the speaker
placed in Hope’s palm what resembled a
broken coin, a medal fragment— what not,
only that as it lay there momentarily,
curiously and keenly regarded by its new
possessor, there showed tbs half-surface
of some official seal.
“ You hare promised certain results” —
began the giver.
“ T o push forward the cause ten years
in six months’ tim e!” interrupted Hope.
“ Tou have given me foe power; now show
me bow to use it.”
“ Tou have announced two objects,” pur­
sued the other. “ To reach foe man con­
trolling the patents on foe Kane-Latimer
metal process----- "
“ O n e!"
“ To have placed in your keeping dar­
ing the next election the political machin­
ery of the Amalgamated.”
" T w o !”
Gideon Hope’s eyes biased ont— he was
s war horse scenting foe battle flavor!
"Ton will go from here,” resumed the
mystic messenger, “ to shop L, o f the
Kanawha group.”
“ But it is closed r
T h a t is true— for repairs. But you
will find in charge Michael Delehanty.
He will take your orders, to be transmit­
ted down foe line— swiftly, perfectly. Ex­
ercise no reticence, give perfect confi­
dence to this man. As are ws the head,
he is the body. What you dictate, he will
fulfill.”
“ Good!” said Hope, with faith and sat­
isfaction.
“ Tou will show him, you will show
others, that,” continued the speaker, indi­
cating the broken teal.
“ It w ill 'be
enough. Only one w ord: Should you ever
be tempted to sacrifice the order for pure
personal designs, beware!”
“ That day,” announced Gideon Hope,
gravely, “ that hoar, I shall deliver myself
np to the doom------”
,
“T o foe doom yon could npt escape,
were you hidden in the heart o f the dark
continent itself!” aa solemnly supplement­
ed the messenger.
Hs disappeared aa secretly and sudden­
ly as had hs originally corns into view.
Gideon Hope slowly, musingly, walked
down into foe valley.
What hs 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.
C H A P T E R V.
M ill L , of the Kanawha group, was
the center of a neat of workshops, grim
and silent just now. Hope approached its
entrance, catching the glint of vagrant
light beyond foe broad, imperfect plank
door.
It opened at his knock— firm, impera­
tive. A lantern's bright rays were focus­
ed full upon 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.
“ L o o k !”
Hope unclosed his palm. Delehanty’s
eyes opened wide, lowered with subser­
viency. Tbs two peering others drew back
with a respectful droop of head and ahoul-
o f party tradition— Percy Kane at
head.
