Action and reaction are equal and opposite, and—young Takahira was arrested this morning for the murder of a white man. See the connection?" | ‘The boss saw. | “and do you see why I cannot @o anything to stop it?’ The boss shook his head. “Well, there are several reasons, but the principal one ig that I don’t want to. The face of the boss was a pic ture of conflicting emotions “Remember what I t you about our plan, and the advantages com ing to you if it succeeded? asked Tracey. The bewildered Nagowch! nodded, and Tracey felt thankful that he was not dealing with the late Taka hira senior, who had been an overly shrewd man. “I knew that a clever man you,” purred Tracey, “would this thing straight, and we knew also that you would see how to take advantage of the situation, and profit by it" | “But the people want this spoiling | of crops and blowing up of Intakes stopped,” walled Nagowch!. “What the hell do you care—if ft) means money {fn your pocket? growled Tracey. | “Money in my pocket? | “Isn't that what I told you?
