Imperfeoth Page (mverfect Page PAGE SIX HIS RISE OWER Author of Copyright, 1911, by the Bobbe-Merril Company PROLOGUE. Reader, here isa live, gripping, absorbing romance of politics— not the politics of a decade ago, but the politics of today. A young American of good fighting blood and hard, fixed ideals seta out to 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 loves. The creative genius and large power of the author are even more notable than in “The Man Higher Up,” Mr. Miller’s preceding novel. CHAPTER 1X, Criticisms and Wiles. EOPLE said that Senator Mur- chell maintained bis legal residence in New Chelsea only because an unwritten law re- quired each end of the state to be represented in the senate, and the va- fancy which he had been elected to fil) had been from the western district This was only half a truth. He really liked these men and women among whom his youth had been spent, who looked upon him haif familiarly, half in awe, and who, until the late upris- ing and the advent of John Dunmeade. had followed unquestioningly his po- Mtical gospel. Most of the time he spent, from the exigencies of his po- sition, in Washington or in the big house in Adelphia; but as he grew older be came to look forward more and more eagerly to the summer months that supported his “legal res!- dence.” He tooked, hesitating, toward the old colonial house across the street. Then he started toward it. Must the habit of a lifetime be broken merely be- cause a son of that house had leveled a lance against him? And, besides, there was a small matter of business to transact. He perceived the figure of an old woman on a bench under the trees, darning industriously, and he smiled at first in amusement. Then the smile became gentler. She looked up as he approached. He held out bis hand. “Good afternoon. i y Henry Russell Miller, “The Man Higher Up” { GRAND RAPIDS “That son of yours gave us some- thing of a surprise today. Looks as though Sheehan would have to go over the road. Unless.” Murchell added in- quiringly. “there’s a chance to win on appeal?” “No. John tried his case carefully. There were no errors.” “Er—about What ought to be the sentence, do you think?” It would not be correct to say that the judge assumed a judicial air; that. Posen “Think over the Sheehan case—think | behind him. it over.” consciously, he always wore. It mere- | ly became heavier. “What should you | suggest?” Murche!! made a slight motion with | bis hand to indicate that any sugges tion from him was a negligible matter, and answered, “Would four months be too much?” “H-m-m! One must remember, of course, that four months for Sheehan would be a heavier sentence than 4 year for another.” The judge cleared his throat. “I'll take it under consid- | eration.” A queer smile softening the lines of his mouth the senator sat staring at the | portrait of Thomas Dunmeade. “John,” he said at last. “made a good speech. eh, judge?” “The elocution was good,” was the carefully considered answer. “But to think a Dunmeade should voice such rabid radicalism, such wild sentiment- alities! John’s course will not affect the matter we discussed last winter. will it?” “You mean the justiceship? My in- fluence in the organization is a little uncertain just at present. These trials haven't helped either.” “T have that also against my son,” the judge said angrily. “He has made it more difficult for his father to reatize a lifelong ambition. Besides,” he ad- ded, “attacking my best friend. He is too selfish and set in his opinions to consider his father’s interest. He | doesn’t get it from me. He is,” the | Judge concluded, “his mother’s son.” The senator did not smile. “His mother’s son!” He was not a sentimental man. He did not “love the memory” of Anne Miss Roberta.” | “Good afternoon, Will Murchell.” She continued her darning. “I'll not | shake hands.” she answered his ges- ture calmly. “I don’t. think I'll ever shake hands with you again. John says you're a dangerous man. John is right.” “} inferred from his speech,” he an- swered with a twinkle, “that he held some such opinion. Were you at the trial?” “J was not! You may sit down,” she commanded, making room for him, “because I want to ask you a ques- tion.” He obeyed. “What have you been doing to Hugh and our John? This house has been like a funeral ever since these trials began. Hugh has been as grumpy as—as a dog with a boil. And John—he doesn’t say much, but he feels it. It’s this politics! I wish,” she concluded vengefully, “a plague’d carry off all you politicians.” “But, Roberta, who'd run the coun- try?” Miss Roberta sniffed. “I guess the tountry could run itself better than you politicians do.” “So there’s coolness between the judge and John, eh? I suppose they’ve fallen out over the trials. Naturally! John is just a hot headed idealist. while the judge is—a practical man.” “A practical man!” she sniffed tartly. “If you'd been doing for the judge for nearly thirty years you wouldn't call him that, I guess. Why. he even be- lieves that you're going to pot him in j the supreme court.” “And you don’t?” “Of course not! I tell him so, but he ‘won't believe me. He's so puffed up with his own importance and selfish- ness he won't listen to sense and tries to make his son’s life miserable.” “Roberta.” he sid abruptly, “try to keep John out of politics.” “Because he is fighting you?” “That,” he said sententiously, “might be a sufficient reason. But I’m not thinking of that. It isn’t the game for a man of his sort.” “You didn’t think of that when you believed you could use him. I wish I could keep him out. But we Dun- meades are set in our opinions. He'll go on fighting, now he’s started, until he breaks himself against your hard- ness or becomes—like you.” He got up abruptly and went into the house. In the library he found Judge Dunmeade before bis desk, scratching away at an opinion. With that heavy dignity which be imparted even to the smallest actions of life the ' 4udge waved Mnrehell to a seat Dunmeade nor indulge in sweetly sad retrospection.. He thought of her now merely as marking one stage of his development. He remembered her as a gentle yet high spirited thing full of ardent enthusiasms and with an un- shakable belief—it struck him now as almost pathetic—in the goodness of her fellows and the ultimate triumph of “the right.” There must have been, he thought, unsuspected possibilities—pos- sibilities that had not been realized—in him since he could love this woman. He was far from ready to admit that their realization would have been prof- itable. “His motifer’s son. I guess that ex- plains him.” He rose. “About that justiceship—I'll see what can be done. But I promise nothing definitely so far ahead. You understand that?” “Certainly.” the judge assented. “But I expect you to do your best. 1 feel,” he added with dignity, “that my services to my country and to my par- ty warrant my expectation. And 1 ought to draw the old soldier vote to the ticket.” “And, judge,” Murchell concluded, “think over the Sheehan sentence— think it over.” He went out of the room. On the next Saturday morning James Sheehan, found guilty of conspiracy to falsify election returns, was summoned to bar and sentenced to four months’ “hard labor” in the county workhouse. But before the appeal which he took j had been refused by the higher court | he had left Benton county for parts un- known. John sought refuge in the cubbyhole that Benton county provides for its district attorneys. With a sense of re Hef he filed away his notes on the Sheehan case in a cabinet marked “Finished Business.” Then he threw himself into a chair and began to take stock. Sheehan’s eyes haunted him. Jobr was a normal young man, and he war capable of krewing the joy of a task well done. But not this sort of task He could find no elation in a triumpt won at the cost of direct personal mis ery to others.

John was immediately enabled to sympa- thize with those unfortunates who were arraigned before his father. “Now that the case is ended, I may speak frgnukly.

But I don’t approve your going out of your way to attack your party and Senator Murchell. a fine. clean living gentleman, who has always showed the warmest friendship fer your fam- ily.” Judge Dunmeade spoke with re? strained emphasis. “And has created a pernicious ma- chine,” John added incautiously. “Which elected you to the office you ; now hold.” ' “Your memory isi’t good, judge.
