Britt; “Will that do?’ | “Admirably; only I'm waiting for | that receipt.” r, Noreross said something that sounded like “damn,” scribbled a} memorandum of the thousand dollar | payment on a sheet of scratch-pad and handed it over, sabing: ‘The | order for the car includes my cook | and porter, and something to eat; we'll throw these in with the trans. portation, and if the car is ditched and you sue for damages, we'll file & cross-dill for hotel accommodations. | Now go away and work off your Mt- tle attack of lunacy. I'm busy.” We had an easier day in the office | than I had dared hope for, whatever the boss thought about it, tho it was an exceedingly busy one, With the} strike news in the papers, it seemed as if everybody in town wanted to in, | terview the general manager of the | raflroad, and to ask him what he waa | going to do about it. . Following his hardand-fast rule, | Mr. Norcross didn't deny himself to | anybody. Patiently he told each fresh batch of callers that the rail road company had nothing whatever to do with the change in ownership of C. & & W.; that the raliroad’s at titude was unaltered: and that, so far as it could be done legally, the Pio-| heer Short Line would stand firmly | between its patrons and any extor-| tion which might grow out of the Rew conditions. | ‘The C. 8. & W. strtke—as our wires told us—wont into effect promptly on the stroke of noon, and a train from | the West, arriving late in the after- noon, brought Ripley. For the first | time that day, Mr. Norcross told me| to snap the catch on the office door | for privacy and then he told Ripley | to talk. Our neat little general coun sel was fresh from the actual fight ing line, and his news amply confirm. ed the wire reports which had been | trickling tn. “The conditions af along the tine are almost revolutionary,” was Rip ley’s summing-up of the situation “Generally speaking, the public is| not holding us responsible as yet, | tho of course there are croakers who are saying that it is entirely a rail-| road move, and predicting that we! won't do anything to interfere with | the new graft.” “Cantrell says that public senti. ment is altogether on the side of the | C. 8. & W. strikers,* the boas put in. | “It is; angrily so, There is hot talk | of a boycott to be extended to every- thing sold or handled by the Hatch | syndicate. I hope there won't be any | effort made to introduce strikebreak ers. In the present state of affairs that would mean arson and rioting | and bloody murder. You can starve | a dog without driving him mad, but | when you have once given him a bone it's a dangerous thing to take it away from him.” “I wired you becanse I wanted to ground leases, Ripley. Do you still think you can make them hold?” “If Hatch breaks the conditions, we'll give bim the fight of his life,” was the confident rejoinder. | “But that will mean a long contest im the courts. Hatch will give bond apd go on charging the people any- thing he pleases. The supreme court is a full year behind its docket, and the delay will tnevithbly multiply your few ‘croakers’ by many thou. sands. But that isn't the worst of it Hateh has a better hold on us than the law's delay.” And to this third! member of his staff Mr. Norcross| told the story of the political trap into which Collingwood and the New York stock.jobbers had betrayed the railroad management. | Ripiey‘s comment was a little tke! Hornack’s; leas profane, perhaps, but also leas hopeful | “Good Lord? he ejaculated. “So that is what Hatch has had up his sleev I don't know how you feel about it, but I should say that it is all over but the shouting. If the Dunton crowd had been deliberately trying to wreck the property, they couldn't have gone about it in any surer way. They haven't left us so much as @ gnawed rat-hole to craw! out of.” “That is the way ft looked to me, Ripley, at first: but I've had a chance to sleep on ites you haven't. The gun that can’t be spiked in some way has never yet been built. I have the names of the elevan men who were} bribed. Hatch was daring enough to} give them to me. Holding the affi davits which they were foolish enough to give him, Hatch can make | them swear to anything he pleases. | But if I coudid get hold of those pa-| pers—” | “You'd destroy them, of course,” | the lawyer put in | “No, hold on; let me finish. If I had those affidavits I'd go to these men separately and make each one tell me how much he had been paid by Bullock for his vote.” “Well, what then?” “Then I should make every moth “s son of them come across with the full amount of the bribe, on pain of an exposure which the dirtiest polt tician in this state couldn't afford to face. That would settle it. Hatch couldn't work the same game a sec- ond time. Fup! let it go at that and spoke! of something else. “I suppose you have ween how our Hing the new si stock is climbing. 1. tion here anything to do with it?” Mr. Norerows said he thought not, | and rather lamented that we didn't have better information about what was going on at the New York end of things.
