MANAGER OF THE B. & A.
Continued from page 8
usually jrot nil and a little more than
was com I UK to him.
After Hie war he married and went
west, where he resumed the prartlcw
of his profession, but he soon abandon
ed It for a commercial career. It wns
not low? until be was ranked as one
of the rich men of his atate. Then he
turned his attention to politics. He
was twice elected to congress and serv
ed one term as governor." One of bis
daughters bad married an Italian
prince, a meelc, prosaic little creature
exactly five feet three Inches tall. An
other was engaged to an KnglUh earl,
whose debts were a remarkable
achievement for so young a man. Ilia
wife now divided her time between
Paris ami I-ondon. She didn't think
much of New York, which had thought
even bus of her. Ho managed to see
her once or twice a yeur. Any oftener
would have bceu superfluous.
There were moments, however, when
he felt his life to be wholly unsatisfac
tory. He derived very little pleasure
from all the luxury that had accumu
late ubout blm mid which lie accepted
with a curious placid Indifference. He
would have liked the affection of his
children, to have hail them at home,
and there was a remote period In his
past when bis wife had Inspired hliu
with a sentiment nt which he could
only wonder. He held It against her
that she had not understood.
He lurched down solidly Into the
chair Oakley placed for him. "I hope
you are comfortable here," he said
kindly.
"Oh, yes." Ho still stood.
"Hit down," said Cornish. "I don't,
as a rule, believe In staying up after
midnight to talk business, hut I must
start east tomorrow."
He slipped out of his chair and be
gan to pace the floor, with his hands
tbniMt deep In his trousers pockets. "I
want to talk over the situation here.
I don't see that the rond Is ever going
to make a dollar. I've an opportunity
to sell It to the M. and W. Of course
this Is extremely confidential It must
not go any further. I am told they will
discontinue It beyond this point, and
of course they will either move the
shops awny or close them." He paus
ed In his rapid walk. "It's too bad It
never paid. It was the first thing I
did when 1 came west. I thought It a
pretty big thing then. I have always
hoped It would Justify my Judgment,
and It promised to for awhile until the
lumber Interests played out. Now,
what do you advise, Oakley? I want
to get jour Ideas. You understand If
I sell I won't lwe much. The price of
fered will Just about meet the mort
gage I hold, but I guess the stock
holders will come out at the little end
of the born."
Oakley understood exactly what wae
ahead of the stockholders If the road
changed bauds. Perhaps his face
showed Unit he was thiuklug of tills,
for the general observed charitably:
"It's unfortunate, but you cau't mix
sentiment In a transaction of tills sort.
I'd like to see them all get their money
back, mid more too."
Ills mental attitude toward the
world was one of generous liberality,
but he had such excellent control over
his InipulNi: that, while ho always
stvined alHiut to embark In tne large
philanthropy, he had never been known
to take even the first step hi that di
rection. )u Hhort, he was bard and un
emotional, but with a deceptive, un
swerving kindliness of maimer which,
while It had probably never luvolved
a I'l'tlnr of his riches, had at divers
times rout the unwary and the Indis
creet Inilrli money.
"I in. i Mire the loud rould ! put on
a piixlng lnisLs," xald Oakley. "Certain
illllle poKsllde iioiionilrH would do that.
Of coUIm' we can't create buslneuM,
there Is Just ho much of It, and we get
It all ii It In. Hut the shops might be
made very protHal'lc I have secured
a Mood deal of woi'K for them and 1
shall secure more. 1 had Intended to
prop. ino a iuiuiUt (if reforms, but If
you are going to kcII, why, there's no
use of going lulu the matiir" lie
plUcd.
The general meditated In nUeiue for
a moment
"I'd bate to SiiCitfice my Interests If
I thought ou could even unike the
rwul pay .expenses. Now, Just What do
you Intend to do','"
""I'll get is.v mlvr Imok iis.l idmw vim

That's always a wise move," be
aald. "Will they stand ltr
'They'll have to." And Oakley laugh
ed rather nervously. He appreciated
that bis reforms were likely to moke
him verv unpopular In Antloch. "They
shouldnrt object. If the road changes
bands It will kill their town."
"I suppose ao," agreed Cornish Indif
ferently. ' "And half a loaf Is lots better than
no bread," added Oakley. Again the
general nodded bis approval.
"What tort of shape la the shop lnT
be asked after a moment's silence.
"Very good on the whole."
"I am glud to hear you say so. I
spent over a hundred thousand dollar
on the plant originally."
"Of course the equipment can hardly
be called modern, but It will do for the
aort of work for which I am bidding,"
Oakley explained.
"Well, It will be an Interesting prob
lem for a young man, Oakley. If you
pull the property up It will be greutly
to your credit. I was going to offer
you another position, but we will let
that go over for the present. I am
very much pleased, though, with all
you have done; very much pleased
Indeed. I go abroad In about two
weeks. My youngest daughter Is to be
married In London to the Earl of Mlu
chester." The title rolled glibly from
the great man's lips. "So you'll have
the fight. If It Is a fight, all to yourself.
I'll see that Hnllowiiy does what you
say. He's the only one you'll have to
look to In my absence, but you won't
be able to count on him for anything.
He gets limp In a crisis. Just don't
make the mistake of asking his ad
vice." "I'd rather have no advice," Inter
rupted Dan hastily, "unless It's yours,"
he added.
"I'll see that you are not bothered.
You are the sort of fellow who will
do better with a free hand, and that Is
what I Intend you shall have."
"Thank you," said Oakley, his heart
warming with the other's praise.
"I shall be back In three months, and
then If your schemes have worked out

some word that would give his victims
an Inkling of what was In store for.
them. He knew there were unpieuanui
scenes ahead of him, but there was no
need to anticipate. When at last bis
figures for the cuts were complete he
would have been grateful for some one
with whom to discuss the situation.
All at once his responsibilities seemed
rather heavier than he had bargained
for.
There were only two men In the or
fiee besides hlmself-rblllp Kerr, the
treasurer, and Byron Holt, his assist
ant. They were both busy with the
payroll, as It was the 6th of the
month, and they commenced to pay off
In the shops on the 10th.
He had little or no use for Kerr, who
still showed where he dared In small
things hla displeasure that an outsider
bad been appointed manager of the
road. He bad counted on the place for
himself for a number of years, but a
secession of managers bad come and
gone apparently without Its ever hav
ing occurred, to General Cornish that
an excellent executive was llterully
spoiling lu the big, bare general office,
of the line.
This singular Indifference on the part
of Cornish to his real Interests hud
soured a disposition that at Its best
had more of acid In It than anything
else. As there was no way In which he
could make his resentment known tc
the general, even if he had deemed
such a course expedient, he took It out
of Oakley and kept his feeling for him
on ice. Meanwhile he bided his time,
hoping for Oakley's downfall and hit
own eventful recognition.
With the nsslstiint treasurer Dan's
relations were entirely cordial. Holt
was a much younger man than Kerr,
us frank nnd open as the other was se
cret and reserved. When the C o'clock
whistle blew he glanced tip from bis
work and snld:
"I w ish you'd wait a moment. Holt
I want to see you."
Kerr had already gone home, and
Miss Walton was adjusting her hut 1
fore a bit of u mirror that hung ou the
wall back of her desk. "All right," re
sponded Holt cheerfully.
"Just draw up your chair," said Ouk
ley, handing bis papers to him. At
first Holt did not understand; then he
begun to whistle softly and felj to
checking off the various cuts with bis
foreHuger.
"What do you think of the Job, By
ron?" Inquired Oakley.
"Well, I'm glad I don't get laid off,
that's sure. Kay, just bear in wind
that I'm going to be married this
summer."
"You needn't worry; only I didn't
know that."
"Well, please don't forget It, Mr.
Oakley."
Holt ran over the cuts again. Then
be asked:
"Who's going to stand for this? You
or the old man? I hear he was to
town last night."
"I stand for It, but of course be ap
proves." "I'll bet he approves," and the a
ststant treasurer grinned. 'This is the
sort of thing that suits him right down
to the ground."
"How about the bauds? Do you
know If they are members of any un
ion?" "No, but there'll te lively times ahead
for yon. They are a great lot of kick
ers here."
"Walt until I got through. 1 hnveu't
touched the shops yet. That's to come
later. I'll skin closer before I'm done."
Oakley gut up and lit Ills pipe. "The
plant must iiinkti some, sort of n nhow
lug. We can't continue at the rute we
have been going. I suppose you know
what sort of shape It would leave the
town In if the shops were closed."
"Very poor shaie, I should say. Why,
It's the money that goes In and out of
this o.rice twlco it iiiov.li that keeps the
town alive. It couldn't exist a day
without tlult."
"Then It behooves us to see to It that
nothing happens to the shops or road.
I inn h,.r. y for the men 1 am laying off,
but It c.'.n't be helped."
"1 see jou fire going to chtyk iloud
Icy out of his good thing at the Junc
tion. If he was half white he'd u gone
long ago. He must lay awake nights
figuring how- he cuu keep deceutly
busy,"
"How da you think It's going to
work':"
"Oh, It HI work all right, because It
ha to, bill they'll all ! cussiisg you,"
With treat good humor. "WlwitVi the
matter anyhow V . I'id the old limn
throw a fit ut the size of the payroll?"
"Not eMictly, but be ciltne down here
with h;s mind tu.ido up to sell the road
to the M. nml W."
"Viui dou't say sol"
"I talked him out of that, but we
must uuike a showing, for he's good
ai.il tired mid may dump the whole
business any day."
"Well, if he does that there'll be no
ma vi'j nig or giving in iuurri:i for me
tins summer. It will be just like a
Shaker M'liloinciit where 1 am con
