"That gives us five days, If wa make a nuise won't they call a special meeting and push it through?" "Kerr isn't likely to do that. He's interested, 1 suppose, but how?" "We'll get busy today," Wright said decisively. "A few pointed questions i on the front page may bring them out \ from under cover." In the conference which ensued the two men discussed every possible phase of the question, yet they never dreamed that it was part of the stock. yards scheme. What aroused suspi- clon as much as anything else was | that there was nothing they could find on which to base suspicion. When Morrison left it was with the intention of scrutinizing a copy of the proposed ordinance carefully, Wright sent a reporter to interview | Alderman Grunewald, and all other re- porters were instructed to find out what the public thought of it and any definite facts that could be brought to light. The city' editor himself took an hour off to go to the office of Rosen- baum & Rosenbaum, who it was learned had given. Grunewald the bill "10 present for them. The drag net which the News spread d'd not seem productive of results cal culated to bring anything to lignt. Al derman Grunewald had introduced it at the request of his good friends Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum and knew nothing about it Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum sald the proposed franc and that the ro estimable benef the near future it wou to Corona, aud all the little town and the vi tlong the line would do their sh Bel mount. The incorporaters were Chica £0 men with plenty capital back of them, Wright Yelegtaphed a Chicago news agency to find out who the incorpora- tors were. At his suggestion the city editor tried to get Kerr at Hemeralda Springs by telephone, but was unsuce cessful. Only one clue was found which of itself was suspicious, and it was not one which could be used that after noon. The eourthouse reporter had dropped into the county surveyor's of- fice, and talked about surveying in general and the work in Belmont coun. ty in particular. Was anything going on just then? This elicited the reply that the spring was not far enough advanced for the uswal work, but that the stock-yards company had had men out. What were: they doing? They were seeing how they could save their tracks along the river and rearrang- ing the quarantine tratks for Texas cattle which were by themselves to the east of the main yards. This was all the courthouse man brought back to the office, but it was duly presented to Wright by the city editor, That afternoon Belmont rubbed its eyes as it looked at the front page of the News. In the last column under an extended head was a story about the proposed car line down Maple ave- nue. It was not replete with facts and figures, but it asked a great many questions and contained several inter views which sald nothing. Even the property owners along Maple avenue who had consented to the line and then been pledged to secrecy until the matter was made public by the intro- duction of the bill in the council; knew nothing more than that Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum had secured their consent. The Chicago news agency did not send what information it gathered un- til too late for use on that day. Sam Hayes bought a paper on the street, read the story, 2 rushed for a telephone. He paid two dollars and thirty cents for the piivilege, one sould not call it pleasure, of talking with Kerr at Esmerelda Springs. He read the paper to the boss, the front sage story and the treschant short editorial in inquiry. Kerr asked that he be connected with Gilbert, but al- ready the judge was trying to get Es- meralda Springs, having seen the News just a few minutes after Hayes. Their conversation was short, Kerr knew the facts, and it was mainly a discussion of how the Banner should treat the matter in the morning. "ha boss decided his paper should insist that the News was trying to knoek the town. The attack was to be upon the News, thus diverting attention from the real issue. This command, properly "phrased, was dropped into the eager ear of Deacon Winthrow, and he proceeded to write a scathing editorial holding up to scorn the pa. per whicle would try to barricade the path of the car of progress. The dea con felt proud of his editorial when he read tin the proof, and was warmed with a self-satisfied glow to think that he had thought of it.

Mp nalism and fo lambast the other tel low personally was part of his edito] rial creed. Before the paper came out, Wright! telephoned Gloria that he would be un able to drive with her but that he would call in the evening. They had 'reached the point in their fast friend- ship where she was not unwilling to pout and let him know how disappoint- ed she was. 3 It was four o'clock when Morrison arrived at the News office with a copy of the proposed franchise. As he threw it on the table in Wright's pri- vate office he exclaimed: "If that goes through, the company can do anything according to its pro- vision except commit murder." "I suspected #8 much" replied Wright. "What right of way have they?" Morrison went to the map of Bel- mont on the wall and located the «city terminus of the proposed line, "Here's where they start on their own tracks," he expldined. "You see, there's a provision in the charter of "the Belmont Traction Company where- by any interurban line can use its tracks into the heart of the city upon payment of a fair rental. Here's the [Hove Park Line coming down Bgrone| "Are They Going to Bulld a Viaduct] There?" Bluff Street, and right here where) Bluff Street crosses Maple Avenue the Interurban's own tracks will start." "Then how does it run?" "South on Maple Avenue and Maple road, to a private right of way which begins east of the stock-yards and par allels the county road to Corona." Wright studied the map earnestly. "You see, I'm too new to know that neighborhood," he sald. "Why did they pick Maple-Avenue?" "It's the only street they can use in that part of town. It's the natural artery for that new district out there, since there are hills on both sides of it." Wright still pi over the map. "What are those red lines crossing Maple Avenue about two blocks south) of Bluff Street? was his next ques- tion. "Those? They are the railway tracks of all the lines entering Belmont ex- cept those thit come down the river| from the north." "Are they going to build a viaduct] there?" "Nothing is said about it." . The new venture would be a good thing for Belmont--if the company, would confine itself to good" works. The most objectionable thing was the lack of frankness on the part of the; men back of the enterprise. Here was! a corporation seeking to serve the pub-! lic and not taking the publie into its! confidence. While Morrison and the "publisher! of the News were canvassing the sf uation, a telegram from the Chicas] News Agency was delivered to Wright.) It read: "Hammersley is the private tary of Adolphus Koerner, Koerner &i Co., packers. Others are clerks in law) office of Kendall, Strang & Kendall." "By George!" exclaimed Wright) "The stock-yards company!" i Then he remembered what the county surveyor had innocently told] There could be no doubt of it. The stock-yards company was making some; move which It did mot dare make openly. . i "It "assented Morrison, "Have yous any idea what they want? ally To Comuction with fhe wow Hors pany, but Wright and Morrison, too, when it was explained to him, were both of the opinion that he was direct- ing every move. If he was in it, David Kes was in it; and if David Kerr was In seeking to unravel the tangled skein they now had a loose end ta work with, They could not imagine, however, why the stock-yards com: pany was entering the street 'car field in such a peculiar manner.

"The stock-vards company is preparing to steal a street." "What!" gasped Morrison. "what makes you think so?" "Everything. See how the river is eating up the only tracks to the stock. yards. They've got to get to the yards |. farther east. Maple Avenue is the ing about what kind of cars aré to run, how they are to be propelled, or what they ard to carry. I'll bet they are going to run cattle cars filled with hogs and sheep and cattle down Maple Avenue, and pull them with steam en- gines, too." "I "won't believe it," protested the lawyer. "Maple Avenue is a residence street!" "The stock-yards company is a for eign 'corporation interested only in dividenis " "Look at Benton Park!" "Yes, take a good look; you won't want to in a year from now." "I don't believe it." "Anyway, that's the theory I'm go- ing on. If it is correct, I've struck the nail on the lead with my first guess. 'If it is wrong, I'll keep ham- mering away until the publfe demands and is given the truth. If I'm wrong, then they'll soon be smoked out. They can't stand being so: misinterpreted when asking the public for a favor. But I'm right, I tell you. They're go: ing to connect with the railway tracks where they cross iraple Avenue two blocks below Bluff Street. Such a belt lihe railway will be extremely valu- able." It was after six o'clock before they decided 'to leave the office. As every pro and con of the situation had not been exhausted, they adjourned to the Belmont Club for dinner and there continued puzzling over the franchise and its meaning. Shortly before eight o'clock Wright drained his coffee cup and looked across the taBle at his companion. "Doing anything tonight?' he in- quired, "No. of" "I'm calling on.Mias Kerr tonight. I want you to go with me; I can't go alone." "1 shall be very glad to," replied the young lawyer, successfully concealing his surprise. _ Wright realized the fight was on. He also knew what Gloria had come to mean to him, and after what they hdd said last night he was afraid to see her alone. Now his first duty was to the public, that public which so often accepts benefits and sacrifices all unconscious of its own gain and what the cost has been. For the gen- eral good, for an ideal, for his belief Nothing on hand that I know THE F. F. DALLEY.CO., LTD. BUFFALO, N.Y. HAMILTON, ONT. in what a paper should be, he was put- ting agide--just for the time, his heart - told him--the one woman who could ¢ make him supremely happy. "The deferring of hope was heavy upon Wright's heart as with Morrison he wialkéd in silence to Gilbert's house. To himself he kept repeating some verses from their "birthday book: " In the twilight we parted, In the night broken-hearted We dreamed a sweet dream. Then we met and we parted Again broken-heqrted, ut dreams come again. CHAPTER IX. The story Wiight had printed the first day and the reply it drew from the Banner the next morning caused the News to be awaited with undis- guised eagerness on the second after- noon. This was heightened on the part of the men in the syndicate in- terested In the franchise by the perti- ment questions put to them in the morning by News reporters. David Kerr was called on the telephone half a dozen times by his lieutenants, and arrangements were made 'to have a line open to Esmeralda Springs at three-thirty, the hour when the News was issued. Although they were prepared to dis- count some of the story because of the questions asked them, yt more of the ring men was prepared for a reve- lation of the scheme such as the News made. Black headlines ran across four columns and the story also took up most of the second page. There was a map of the proposed interurban route, and pictures of pretty homes on But from one end of the story to the other there was uo mention of David Kerr or of the local backing being given the bill before the council. It was expressly stated that the incorporators of the new com:- pany were merely dummies and that they were acting in the interest of the stock-yards company. Amos Gilbert in au interview denied any knowlgdge of the transaction, say- ing that his connection with the stock- yards company was merely nominal and that he did not even know if the company was 'interested in the line proposed. He did not see how, as a company, it could be, "Gilbert sat in his offige as soon as he segured a paper and/read the story word for word over (the telephone to | Kerr. The latter projaptly announced that he would be home tlie next day, sand ordered that Gloria be taken from Belmont ou any pretext whatever for ia few days until the fight had been {allowed to die down. The next day was Sunday, on 'which Wright pub- ed no paper, and Kerr would be ho fore another issued appeared. He agreed with Gilbert that the Bany ner ought to ridicule the alleged xs pose.
