ee ee PAGE SIX HIS RISE OWER By Henry Russell Miller, Author of “The Man Higher Up” Copyright, 1911, by the Bebbs-Merrill CLompacy PROLOGUE. ' Reader, here isa live, gripping, absorbing romance of politicse— not the politics of a decade ago, but the politics of today. Aj young American of good fighting blood and hard, fixed ideals sets eut fo smash the political ma- chine of his state without com- promise with evil. The greatmo- ment of his life comes when he must sacrifice his clean hands or rain the father of the girl he Joves. The creative genius and Jarge power of the author are even more notable than in “‘The Man Higher Up,” Mr. Miller's preceding novel. “and.” Hampden continued the in- @ictment, “he virtually called me a “Well?” af ” “Are youy’ And sbe added quickly. seeing his look of aggrieved astonish- ment, “But of course I know you aren't.” “I am not,” he said emphatically. “I have always kept my operations strict- jy within the law, and that is more than a good many men who aren't call- @a@ crooks can say. Of course,” he went on, “I know perfectly wel! I'll mot be consulted when you come to marry. You will choose your husband according to your own tastes”— “I have the right.” she interrupted. “since I shall have to live with him.” “Uniess I have to support him!” “¥ou--wouldn’t have to,” she said positively, “even if he were poor. [ ean do without luxury,” “You think you can,” he answered. “You've never had to try. But even if yeu could do without it. you couldn't be content with mediocrity. You'd ‘want to be in the thick of things, with a husband who'd wear a No. 8 hat, who'd have big want» and would put up a big fight to get what he wanted. And if you ever took the bit in your mouth. Lord pity you and your hus- band!" “Do you know.” sbe said thought- fully, “I’ve been thinking just that. Still, John Dunmeade—we're stil! dis- eussing him, aren’t we?—isn’t exactly commonplace. He realiy has brains and he is attractive. In politica”’— “He would be out of place. You know mothing of politics. He'd have less chance there than in business.” “We are really anticipating the event. He hasn't asked me to marry him, and be doesn’t intend to. I think. He strongiy disapproves ef me, even while he likes me.” CHAPTER V. Explorations. EFORE the real leaders in the warfare against privilege, cool headed. farseeing, com- bining caution and courage. eame forward to give form and direc- tion to the uprising certain lonely prot- estants bad appeared—young men mostly, audacious egotists who, the people said. thought they were wiser and better than other men, dared to criticise what their neighbors accepted and presumed to instruct their elders. In the end they were broken, silenced —eadly unaware that in the subcon- scious Memory of men the echo of their protest was still ringing. They are forgotten now. John Dunmeade was a normally in- telligent young man, healthy of mind and conscience, who had never been tempted. hence never tested. He had beard the protestants of his day, of course. but they dealt with problems #0 remote from his own simple’ exist- ence that he had carelessly accepted his elders’ appraisement of them. He had an ingenuous belief in the great- mess and goodness of men who attained high position in life. such mer as Senator Murchell. Despite his charity and credulity, he was, when occasion presented itself, ! quick to see the fundamental! verities of the case—as Stephen Hampden had Jearned. He was not unambitious, although the spark had smoldered until, appar- ently from nowhere in particular, had come the suggestion of his nomination. ‘When he perceived the distinct approv- al with which his neighbors received the suggestion his heart leaped within him. They were a good, kind people. If he should prove a faithful servant in little perhaps—with unaffected mo- desty he contemplated the prospect— to him might be committed service of wider scope. The conceded fact that his nomina- tion came solely by grace of Murchell’s and Sheehan’s decree caused him ‘vague misgivings. Jeremy Applegate's plaint startied him. Hampden’s offer did not tempt—it revolted him. What tronbled him most was that these GRAND RAPIRS HERALD-REVIEW _ things were done in the light of day and that no one—Jeremy did not | count. the victim would naturally pro- test—seemed to care. After careful consideration of his un- imposing bank account John invested {a part of it in a horse despite the teas- ing of Aunt Roberta, who accused bim jot “joiming the cavairy”—to wit, War- H | ren Blake and the troop of undergradu- ates that clattered over the roads at | Crusader’s heels. He was not a thor- j oughbred. blue ribbon winner, like Cru | sader, but just a plain horse that, wit! | buggy attached. could trot a mile in something less than five minutes or if you weren't particular as te gait would bear you in the saddle all day with ) equal willingness. He was a big, raw | boned beast with a Roman nose and jeyes continually showing white, which | quite belied his placid temper. and | John called him Lightning. So John land Lightning. two industrieus cam- | paigners, between whom a perfect un- and meet the men: he came out With hands blackened from much contact | with their hands and in the smut he ; feit a sort of pride.

And over the dinner table or when the day’s work | was done John chatted with the farm- ers. The labor was good for his mus- eles and digestien, and the chat was good for his son). Often he found that Jeremy Appie- | had blazed the trail for him. But some- times he found skeptics who asked per- tinent questions. “Why should I vote for ye?” asked Dan Criswell. a citizen of Baldwin township. one evening. John began to patter the stock party arguments, which carried conviction | neither to the skeptical Criswel! nor— | of a sudden—to himself. He broke off abruptly in the middle cf a sentence. “As you say,” he laughed uncomfort- ably. “Why should you vote for me?” “Does sound kind o” foolish. don’t it? Reckon ye won't have nothin’ to do with the tariff or the single gold stand- ard ner prosperity neither. The bull party won't make ye git after the law- breakers if ye’re cheek by jow! with dim Sheehan an’ he don’t want it. ‘What I want to know is are ye honest —or will ye take orders?” “It’s common sense. Only most can- didates think we’re too simple to think on’t. An’ I don't know as they're far wrong,” be added thoughtfally. When John left. however, Criswel! sbook hands with him cordially. “I ; guess I'l vote for ye—this time. I can’t swaller the hull ticket, though— stomach wouldn't stand it. Ye look Hke ye’d be yer own man. Leastways. Fl chance it.” And John replied. troubled. “I won't regard that as a promise. I’m not sure that you ought to vote for me.” Another day be met one Sykes, a hil! farmer, a little, wizened fellow who looked as though he had worn himself out in the struggle to wring a living out of the steep slopes. “I ain’t voting.” he said. “Well.” John laughed cheerfully. “if I can’t get a vote I'll be content with information. Will you tell me why you won't vote?” | “Well, if ye will have it, Jim Sheehan nominated ye. {f ye'd been the right kind o’ man he wouldn't ‘a’ had nothin’ to do with ye. Anybody he’s fer. I'm against. Plumville. nothin’ but a drinkin’ bum. ; An’ now he’s got rich. buildin’ bad streets an’ roads an’ taxin’ me heavy to pay fer it while it keeps me scratch- in’ to get the intrust on my mortgage. How do I know he’s crooked? I don’t | know—I feel it. An’ 1 know that no one gets the nomination less’n be says with the same stick.” Jobn’s face was grave. “Then you rather you'd do that than not vote at all.” The momentary flicker of passion died down. ‘What's the use?’ was the reply, dully given. “However I vote ; some feller like Sheehan gits on top.” John sought counse! from his father. But to the judge Caesar’s wife—that is to say, his party and all things thereto appertaining—was above suspicion; not so the motives of him who raised a question. So he took his trouble to "Ri Cranshawe, the office visitor to | whom John’s deference had attracted | Sheehan's attention, a big man, kindly. shrewd, with wisdom in the raw. He Nstened sympathetically as John poured out his tale. “It’s like what Sykes says. It ain't ed about it. When a man gits a nomi- nation, we feel that he’s made some kind o’ deal with Sheehan. When we put up a man on our own hook. an’ he’s nominated—which ain’t often—we find he’s gone over to Sheehan. An’ that ain’t feel, it’s know. Jim Shee- han’s represented; we ain't. | tight!” “Then why don’t you get together and fight?” “We've got to live,” Cranshawe ans- wered simply. ‘We don’t lay by money fast enough to keep us without work- in’. We ain't got the time ner the trainin’ to make a good fight against him. We've got no leader.” His eyes. through the bushy brows, rested with ap almost wistful light on the trou- bled countenance before him. “An’ it'd take a large sized man fer the job.” i Jobn just then felt very small. He went to Plumyille. an ugly. grimy, bustling. growing hive of work- ers. with its drones too. He had the key to interpret what he saw.

To win. slways to win. was the sum of this girl's philoso- phy, with no thought of tts ernelty or tealization that for every victor there must be many losers. And wealth, | power, the things a man had. were the badge of his victory. She was laughing at him. “What do you think when you retire into yourself so rudely?

A | long, troubled silence fell between j them. | “John,” she said suddenly, “was it necessary for you to criticise and quar- rel with my father?” “I did not criticise him,” he respond- ed quickly, “and there ia no quarrel that I am aware of. We merely dif- | fered in opinion on a business matter. each believing he was right.” “Will you tell me why you think him | wrong?’ { He found his lips sealed. “I haven't criticised him,” he said gravely, “and I can’t begin now, especially to his ; daughter.” The afternoon was spoiled. Into her face had come a look almost of hard- ness, like the swift shadow of a cloud over the fields on a sunny day, the absence of which had given her the sweet, frank girlishness. What bad he to do with this girl to whom luxury was a matter of course? Why did her | impatience with his ideals trouble him? “Let us go home.” she said. They went to the horses. From the beginning Crusader behaved badly. “Be careful!’ he cautioned her, as | they turned into the public road. | “That horse wants to bolt.” “I told you he lacks common sense | Sometimes,” she laughed. i As though to illustrate this saying Crusader now began a series of short, | cramped plunges, rearing and tossing violently to loosen the steel thing that cut into his mouth. She brought her crop stingingly down on the horse's flanks. Crusader broke her grip on the reins, took the bit between his teeth and, head low- | ered, raced madly down the hill. John did not stop to consider the use- | lessness of risking his own life too. | His arm rose and fell continuously as ‘he tried to beat more speed into his | between him and the flying Crusader. A turn of the road took her out of his sight. Thereafter to the end of the mad chase she was always just beyond the next turn. He was not a good rider, and the wonder was that as he | Swung at top speed around the curves in the snaky road he was not unseated. | Lightning’s legs doubled and stretched with a rapidity never before and never again attained in his placid life, but to Jobn the space between the pounding, staccato hoof beats seemed endless. The blood throbbed heavily in his tem- ples, at every turn he closed his eyes. fearing to see a still. broken figure be- fore him. Yet to him just then life | meant to find—what he must find. By a miracle the descent was accom- plished without mishap. The road ran on a level for a few hundred yards, then began a long gradual climb of the next hill. Lightning’s steps Jagged. At a turn in the road just below the crest he came upon the panting Cru- sader standing with head meekly low- ered.
