Brainerd indicated his den. Tichenor sat in at the desk, where he filled in a check for Joseph B. Brainerd and ed it. “You fill in the figures,” he , “and my bank will pay the check.” Brainerd stared at him. “What do “Just continue to ht for the best interests of Forlorn Valley.” “Wait a minute, Tichenor. Who told you that you were the man I was ordered to attack?” “ , nobody told me. I didn’t even suspect it. I decided to get behind you merely because you're & man after my own heart. | “Sit down,” Brainerd commanded. | And he related to Tichenor every detail | of his conversation with Babson. ‘ “T could stand up under that insect's teasings, Brainerd,” Ticpenor told him | when the tale was “one” but I shouldn't like to see Miss Kershaw vut‘ Mountain Valley Power Co., which is me—will have something to say to your subscribers. Tl ct you to print it, and 1 don’t care two hoots in & hollow ho u ridicule or condemn it in your lerut,orinl column. That's your privi- ege.” ‘There must be something wrong th your head,” Brainerd protested, “but whatever the trouble is I like it. However, before I fill in this check— and you'll take my gratitude for granted —it is my duty to inform you that from this day forward the Valley Center Register is going to operate in red ink. I mean that I can never hope to repay this loan from the profits of a losing . 3 living oyt of it, and if you can't, e here’s 2 deed of trust on this bullding for fifteen hundred. I'd like to pay that all up and have a.balance for operating capiial. But there’s one more point you've overlooked. When I bank this check in Babson's bank, everybody will know you're back of me, and it will matically prevent you from showing me any editorial preferment.” 'You' be mightly careful' somebody doesn’t kill you off in the shank of our callow youth, my friend. You're temptation. With you out of the way, there wouldn’t be any water war, be- cause the w girl couldn’t put up a winning fight. Do you realize that?” 'Who'd hlnv:.

In return for the lfe-giving water I shall have to sell them, the people will have to do business at my bank. I'l rent money at 6 per cent. I'll take up every loan they have with the Bank of Val-, ley Center, and when they switch their eposits to my bank Babson will be left with insufficient capital to meet the withdrawals.” “How about the minority stockhold- ers? They're rather decent, substantial citizens.” “When the smoke clears away. I'll | settle with them privately so they'll not lose a dollar.” “You may not be able to secure a State charter for your bank.” % “Then I'll operate a national bank. “Well, Joe Brainerd answered slowly, 'm certainly glad you're my friend and not my enemy. Do you want me to s?read the glad tidings of your contemplated philanthropy to Forlorn Valley?” % “No keep that news bottled up. I @ant to have the people meet me with all the acclaim a Roman mob was wont to accord the entrance of the Christian martyrs in the Coliseum.
