Is not.
CHAPTER II Continued.
"Oh. I like Washington," sho said,
bringing herseft back to the conver
sation with difficulty.
Her father, noticing her abstrac
tion, remarked Indulgently: "She likes
Washington, Slade. Sho likes the
East, but she doesn't tell It to every
body on account of father's votes.
Now, Slado and I love our western
. city, eh, Slade 7"
"WJl," with somo reluctance. "It's
a good starting point," Slade admitted.
"Ah!" Katherlne exclaimed, now
thoroughly herself again. "There's a
man for you! He'e not going to let
a town stand In his way. Mr. Slade.
this is father's Waterloo. He's beon
a great disappointment to mo. That's
the worst of parents. Wo children
never know how they're going to turn

wouldn't leave the West If thero'd
only been a drop of Napoleon In fa

burst of vehemence.
"Napoleon!" repeated the senator.
- "Yes, Napoleon. He got what ho
wanted, and nothing ever stood in his
path. 1 just love the way ho rode
over poor old Josephine's heart, don't
you?" and she turned to Slade.
"But he was right!" she continued,
earnestly, as If she were making a
plea for something that lay very close
to her own heart "Why should we
let anyone hold us back? I wouldn't
But mother didn't -want to leavo the
West so father stuck to his town and
his friends and his state. Now he
stands in the background and boosts
other men politically.
"He wants to boost you," she added,
suddenly.
"Letting out secrets," her father ac
cused, playfully.
But Katherlne was never more se
rious. "You're his dark horse," she
persisted.
"You're a lucky man, senator,"
Slade broke In, as be watched Kath

behind you In the race."
"That's all we. women are for," an
swered Katherlne, bitterly, "standing
behind some man and watching him
do things."
"Why, child alive, you do things
yourself," the senator remonstrated.
'"She makes busts, Slade beads. Done
some big guns In Europe."
Katherlne sighed and leaned back
wearily in her chair. "Oh, in my
feminine way, I model," she admitted,
"But If Ihere'd been one drop of Na
poleon In father I shouldn't have had
to fall back on molding clay. I should
have been molding," sho hesitated,
and then finished daringly, "opinions

and Inspirations, Slade could not

appeared and engaged his attention,
As (he roan withdrew, Slado spread

A Novelisation of
Alice Bradley's Play
He broke off with a loud, mirthless
laugh. As well as any man who ever
lived, he liked to feel the grip of his
own power. Ho had come to the point
whoro It was genuine satisfaction to
humble men and conquer things.
"Wesley Morrlttl" the sonator was
almost too surprised for spoech.
"Aftor his abuse of you in tho paper
toaay . Ana liunu How did you
do lit"
"This is' tho sort of thing I like,"
broke in Katherlne, eagerly. "Oh, It's
so exciting," she declared, her eyes
glowing with eagerness and animation.
"Oh, Mr. Slado, how did you make
them kow-tow?"
Slado'e reply was prevented by the
brusque, excited entrance of Merritt
and Hunt The pair, angry and bol
llgorent, strode Into the room without
a word. Merritt, small, wiry, ener
getic, was In the lead, followed closely
by his shadow and echo. Hunt
"Is It true?" he demanded angrily,
before he realized that Slade was not
alone. "How do you do, senator
Miss Strickland!" ho exclaimed, In
surprise. "Lovely homo you have, Mr.
Slado," ho added, trying to adjust him
self to the scene ho had not expected.
"An astonishing rumor has roached
us, Mr. Slade," he finally declared, get
ting down to the business of his inva
sion. "It concerns you, senator. It
concerns every public-spirited man In
the city. Is It true, Slado, that you
have bought up our entire water front
on which our residences our old
homes the mansions of the city face,
and that you Intend building factories
there?"
"Why, yes." Slado admitted, with
maddening calmness.
"What?" Strickland almost shouted,
completely astounded.
"But but it can't be done." Merritt
was so excited now that be stuttered
hi words.
"It can't bo done," echoed Hunt He
was well paid for being an echo.
"Our best people live there," pro
tested Merritt.
"I live there," Hunt added, with ac
cumulated emphasis.
"All of us," Merritt continued, "take
pride In tho view along the water
front It's damnable. Why. out of
common decency, man What do
you want of factories, anyway?" he de
manded, completely angered and out
of patience.
Slade's voice was almost a drawl,
It was so low-pitched and so provok
Ingly calm. "Why didn't you and your
associates protect your holdings? he
inquired.
"How'd we know a man with mil
lions would come along and buy up
the whole beach?" Merritt's wrath
was gettldg beyond tho control that
Katherine's presence demanded
"Slade, If you persist In this." he
thundered, "I'm going to take off my
coat and hit back. My paper has an
enormous outside circulation, and 111
baste you once every day. If you pro
pose running for governor, you won't
get one vote in your own town. And
in one month, or lese, you'll find San
Francisco has a gorgeous climate.
Slade was unperturbed by Merritt's
threats or Merritt's bulldozing. "All
right Merritt," he advised, good-naturedly,
"go ahead with your paper,
I'll take my chances."
'You will, eh?" Merritt's tone was
ominous. "What sort of factories are
you going to build?"
"Well," drawled Slade, coolly, "I waB
thinking of putting up glue factories I"
"Glue!" The one word jumped from
everyone's mouth at onco. "Glue I "
they all repeated, and looked at each
other in consternation.
"The h 1 you say," then remember
ing himself. "I beg your pardon, Miss
Strickland."
"It can't be done," Merritt went on.
"You can't build glue factories hero,"
and he emphasized every word with
an angry shako of his linger.
"By God, you"
He broke off as he saw Bob Hayes
stride into the room. Hayes, as Slade's
lawyer and almost a member of tho
family, had the entree to the bouse at
all times.
"Hero's my lawyer," remarked Slade,
dryly, "ask him."
"Of course It can bo done," Hayes
Informed them, convincingly. "It's per
fectly legitimate."
Then, as if to dismiss a perfectly
obvious subject, he turned to the girl,
who had been enjoying every point
that Slado had scored.
Katherine's eyes lighted with warm
welcome. It was the first time she
had seen Hayes since she had re
turned, He was (he man she had once
wanted (o marry, onco before her
father had given hor (ho choice of
Hayes or n finishing kcIiooI in Paris
and a (our of Uuropo, Now she greeted
him with cordial friendship, but with
none of the sweet tondorness ho might
have expected from hor. Once she
had looked hp Into his eyes and thought
him a god. Now, her eyes blinded by
the glare of ambition, sho saw only
good looking chap, a struggling law
yer, a wan who hadn't made any par
ticular mark In the world. She re
turned Hayes' burning, penetrating
gaze with cool, unruffled frankness. In
another moment she had turned from
him and was earnestly watching Slade,
listening to his every word with eager
intentness.
"You see, I'm a very simple sort of
fellow," Slade was saying, "don't drink
don't smoke don't keep yachts or
horses, don't keep wo-" he stopped In
his ott-repeated formula as he remem
bered Katherine's presence, "don't
keep horses, so I muBt do something,
as I was saying to Mrs. Slado today,
I don't want to hothor my neighbors,
bo I'll build high chlmnoys, so tho
smoke won't trouble you much. I'm
going Into the gluo business. That Is
of course," and he pauBed and sur
veyed the group about him with a com
placent elevation of his eyebrows
"that is, unless you gontiemen can
keep me busy In somo other way. I'm
a very active man."
Katherlno leaned forward with tense
expression to see how the man's op-

ponents would take his game. The
senator was smiling, Merritt tapping
his foot restlessly.
"Well, boys, It looks as though he
had us strong?" Strickland broke the
silence. "Glue! Whew!"
"Are we going to bo had?" demanded
Merritt, testily, "are wo going to stand
for this holdup?" and he turned dis
gustedly toward the door..
"Don't you think we'd better keep
Mr. Slado busy In somo other way,'
Strickland repeated.
"I don't," Merritt flung back over
his shoulder as bo left the room, fol
lowed, as usual, by Hunt
Merritt's hasty doparture was the
signal for Katherlno to adjust her
wraps and Vcmark: "We must bo late
for Tristan."
Hayes followed her. "I must see you
alone, Katherlne. You're still free
there's no foreigner on tho scene. Is
there, Katherlno?"
Bob," Katherine's voice was sweet
but firm. "I don't think I shall ever
marry now "
"Ob, nonsense," ho protested.
"No," even more positively. "The
more I see of men but what's the
use? There never was but one man
I could have got on with, and I didn't
happen to live in his time."
"Who was tho boy?" Hayes asked,
lightly.
"Strange," Katherlne replied, pen
slvely, "I've Just beon talking about
him Napoleon Bonaparte."
"Ob, Lord that fellow." Hayes was
much relieved. "Can I have tomor
row evening?"
"Yea it you yes tomorrow eve
ning, Bob."
Hor voice lingered a bit on the Bob,
and with quick impulsiveness Hayes
caught her hand and kiBsed It
In another minutu sho had turned
to Slade,
"Oh, Mr, Slade. won't you let me
mako a bead of you 7"
"A head of me?" Slado ropeated In
surprise.
"Think it over," Kathorlne sug.
gested, as she and her father went out,
leaving Hayes and Slade watching her
proud, graceful figure until It disap
peared from view,
Slade looked critically at Hayes for
a moment or two after tho girl had
gone.
"Oh, now I remember," ho suddenly
exclaimed, "You're Ilia ctmji lio jjavo

"When she wan twenty-one and I
was twenty-four and six foot, one Inch
of a western lawyer, Juatoufof the
woods. How does Mrs. Slado take te
this governorship business?" he fin
ished, abruptly.
"She doesn't take to it" Blade's
voice was hard.
"I was afraid ahe wouldn't"
"Well, nobody's going to stand In
my way." A malignant light showed
In his eyes.
"My boy, I'm out to win."
In spite of the fact that he was In
full evening attiro, ho thrust his hands
Into his. pockets and almost strutted
about tho room. "I outgonoralod that
crowd here tonight, lly God, I did I
Do you know?" He paused In his
walk and looked down on Hayes' six
foot sprawled over ono of the brocaded
chairs "there's just a little drop of
that fellow Napoleon Bonaparte in
mo!"
"Napoleon Bonaparte got on by
leaving a woman behind," Hayes re
turned, soriotifily, refusing to enter into
Slade's spirit of self-satlsflod good
humor.
"You mind your own d n business,
Bob," Slade turned on him, suddenly.
"All right I'm off to the opera. I
only meant that Napoleon was a bad
boy for you to follow, because he
treated his first wife like a dirty dish-
rag. That's why I'm glad that second
little Austrian hussy paid him back.
That's all. I love Mrs. Slado. When
I was sick with fever In your mining
camp, sho was a mother to me."
-TVtn't fnrarnt that T m1& vnn
Slade reminded him. "I," and he
tapped his chest I gave you your
chance."
"I don't All the same I'd hate to
see you elected, because of Mrs. Hlade.
It seems to be the rojular thing, be
coming unlvorsal, for a very success
ful man to leave home the mlnuto he's
on his foot Good night"
"One minute. Bob. You've given me
a lot of good advlco. I'll give you
some. Aro you In love with that girl?"
"Yes," Hayes grunted; "good night
Is that all?"
"No;" Slade paused, watching Hayes
through narrowed eyelids. "That girl
needs a large pie with ovory ono ot
her fingers In it Bob. I'm sorry for
you. Your pie isn't big enough."
"Well it's my pie. Good night
and he was gone.
After Hayes bad gono, Slade sat, bis
arms resting on tho table, staring Into
space. Every now and men the cor
ners of his mouth came down and his
eyes narrowed. He was thinking of
Katherlno Strickland and Hayes. That
woman for Hayes 1 Hayes must be a
presumptuous pup to ever think of
winning that queen. Such women weo
meant for the kings of the earth not
for their hirelings.

NEW DISCOVERY ABOUT ANTS
Scientist Asserts That the Insect!
Have a Regular Form of Saluta
tion Among Themselves.
Ants have long been known for their 1
excessive Industry, but from a curloui
communication which has Just ap
peared they seem to havo surpassed
all other Insects by organizing an I
elaborate system of signaling.
Professor Dugnlon, who has recently
investigated the habits of the whlti
ant, reports that the "soldiers" of that
species give warnings or encouraging,
signals by knocking with their Jawi
upon dry leaves, theroby emitting a
crackling sound. Placing somo ol
theso ants on a big plato and covering
It with paper, be found that tho "sol
dlers" among the ants responded te
his taps with a rustling, crackling I
sound.
Moreover, apart from this audlbli
signaling, there appears to be some.
Inaudible form of signal, for the pro
fessor asserts that the "soldier" anti
salute the worker ants.
To do this, "the Insect stands firmly
on Us legs with tho head raised and
tho body slightly oblique, and shakci
