"Kelvin's new tusk was an agreeable
one. He took np pleasant quarters in
Washington and bepan to entertain the
list of senators whom Bree counted
as among his assets, and gradually his
circle of acquaintances grew. He was
gone about three months, and when he
returned he sent for Rollins.
'Hare you sent Hennerdon and Far
mer and the others their rebates 7" he
asked.
"Yesterday, np to the 1st of the
month," replied Rollins. "Why?" .
"Because there are to be no more.
Collect your flat rate and keep It
without a single exception. We've
won."
"Rebate to the United rood com
pany, as usual, Rollins," Interrupted
Breed, with a chuckle. "That's my
only profit 6n bread now. you know,
sirce Kelvin reduced it to cost. And
rebate in cash, Rollins, always in
cash!"
"But I dont quite understand," pro
, tested Rollins. "Can't they legislate
against us effectively now?" ;
"Scarcely," returned Kelvin, with a
- smile, "since we ourselves are the law
making body, so long as we keep the
public from clamoring too much to
their servants in Washington. - rve
Just purchased stock iu the govern
ment former assets of Hepperdon and
Itaymer and their fellow bandits to
fire us control." ,
Rolling looked troubled. "I don't
. like it," he said. ,
"Nonsense!" declared Kelvin, "We're
using If to a good end. You can estab
lish your flat rate now as you planned
In the first place. We're going to be
gin the battle of the trusts in earnest."
"The battle of the trusts.; repeated
Bolllns musingly. "It sounds interest
ing at least." '
"It won't be, though, replied Kel
vin, with contempt. "There will be no
battle whatever. I'm merely going to
chloroform them on the eve of the
presidential nomination. -About the
most popular Idea that was ever put
before the vast, unsuccessful majori
ty of the voting public is the graded
property tax. Well, I'm going to flame'
Into print with the suggestion for a
graded corporation tax and then have
Mr. Breed's carefully tamed legisla
tors frame that suggestion into a bill
and pass it into a law. The wealthier
the corporation the more It will be
taxed pro rata until toward the top
the tax will become prohibitive. The
law Is already as good as passed, and
I Imagine that it will be quite a shock
to your old friends Heppertton and

But Ilenry Breed did not hear Phil
lip. He had Just taken from the
drawer of his desk a handful of pho
tographs, a piece of red wax crayon, a
hammer and some tacks and was
starting for the rear study. As he
passed rhlllip caught a glimpse of the
top photograph. It was a portrait of
Hepperdon.
A cheaply dressed fellow, a big man
with a thick neck and broad shoulders
and arms that hung crooked at the el
bows, alighted at a tittle wilderness
station on the Long Island railroad
behind Kelvin and Sam. A farmer
like native approached thehnore pros:
perous appearing rhlllip.
"You. Mr. Ke'jinT he demanded.
-The same." replied Kelvin. "This
Is Mr. Purser, I believe?"
"I reckon so." admitted the other.
"Old Hayseed Purser." "
Kelvin clambered into the front seat
of a dilapidated surrey. Mr. Purser
fixed upon Kelvin a contemplative
gaze.
Ton 'don't want .to see that scrub
oak land we wrote each other about,"
he suddenly advised, with engaging
bluntness. "You're no cheap lot
boomer. You're lookin' for a summer
home."
"No." objected Kelvin, still smiling.
Til look at the scrub oak property, I
thluk."
At this moment the big, workman
looking fellow stepped up to Mr. Pur
ser. "Could you tell me where I'd find
a few acres of cheap ground fit for
market gardening?" he asked.
There ain't any such property left
on Long Island." declared Mr. Purser
emphatically. "The land between this
railroad and the water ain't cheap,
and the land back o that you couldn't
grow anything on. It Is all. sand
dunes." '
"111 look at what you have any
how." replied the other.
"AH right." said Mr. Purser reluc
tantly. "Just crawl In the buggy
there."
They drove from the station and.
' turning from the highway by and by.
struck on Into a scarcely defined road
through the wilderness of stunted oaks
and pines.
"Well, here you see It," said Mr.
Purser deprecatlngly. "I might drive
you for hours, and it's all Just like
this."
"What Is it worth 7 asked Kelvin.
"I reckon I could turn over a thou
sand acres of It runnin around forty
snd fifty dollars an acre."
"A thousand acres," mused Kelvin.
"How much money, on the average, do
make a year?"
That's pretty nigh a personal ques
tion, ain't itr
"It's a business question." returned
Kelvin. "I want to buy all this sort
of land you can secure within eighty
five miles of Broadway. I'd like, to
Mre you for one year to represent me
exclusively in this matter. How much
do you want?"
"Well." said Mr. Purser, slowly cal
culating, "last year I made nigh on to

"Very good," said Kelvin. Til give

"I reckon I could." said Mr. rurser.
"I reckon there ain't anybody on this
Island can dicker for property as good
as I can."
"It's a bargain, then, is itr' Inquired
Kelvin.
"Yes. I reckon It is. Begins right

CHAPTER XVT.
1 HE stranger went back to New
' . York on the same train with
Kelvin. As was- quite natural,
he took the subway where Kel
vin did and followed into the. same
car. He also left the train at the same
uptown station, and Kelvin noticed
with a frown that he followed up the
street When Kelvin and Sam turned
in at their hotel, however, the man
passed on, and Phillip convinced him
self that the thing had been merely a
coincidence. It did seem to him. how-
eer, that wherever he went recently
i he found some poorly dressed stranger
j with him. always a different man, but '
! always having that indefinable uir of j
fcelng a workman out of a Job. " j
That night the stranger in an obscure
lodging house- wrote a long -and la-
borlously scrawled letter, which he
i afterward translated into cipher, to
George Blagg at Forest Lakes, and
Kelvin in his splendidly furnished
apartments at the expensive Esplanade
wrote a full report of his day's doings
to Henry Breed, also at Forest Lakes.
Kelvin seemed to be going in rather
extensively for" real estate, for .the
morning found him poring over an
Immense hand drawn map of New
York city whereon three large sec
tions were blackly shaded. While he
was copying some figures one Patsy
McCalken, a red faced man with a
mole on his nose, was announced. To
him Kelvin displayed the blot over
which he had been busy and asked
pertinent questions about It.
"It's no use. Mr. Kelvin," announced
Mr. McCalken. "I don't know who's
behind you unless - It's old Henry
Breed, but the man don't live that
ran swing them precincts away from
the big chief. And you say there's
nawthin' doin' with him."
"But they're your precincts," object
ed Kelvin. "I am told that they lie
iin the hollow of your hand: that they
vote as you tell them to the last man:
that they'd follow you Into the river."
Mr.. McCalken only grinned. "Any
how, there's no chance on earth, ho
matter how much was no matter how
strong the arguments that . might be
held out."
"All right, then," concluded Kelvin
briskly. "Jf you can't swing that dis
trict to my principal I'll have to take
it away from you."
Mr. McCalken's grin became a guf
faw. "When you do that." said he.
taking his hat. 'Til say you're a L.g
ger man than Dick Croker'ever was."
"We expect to make Mr. Croker a'
dim and faded memory of ineffective
ness," announced Kelvin, smiling and
looking at his watch. '
His next caller was of a 'different
type. "Hello. Pellman." said Phillip
heartily, coming . forward to shake
hands with him. "It's as good to see
you as It was to hear your voice over
the phone the other day. . How are
things coming with you?
"Rotten, fhank you." confessed Pell
man, with a wry smile. "I don't mind
admitting that you broke me so com
pletely I . can't start anything big
enourrh to inspire confidence."
"Would It inspire any confidence if
you were known to be engineering the
most enormous real estate deaf ever
consummated In New York?"
Pellman's eyes began to brighten.
"It would have to be a big one," he
warned.
"Would you call it abig one to buy
these districts?" And Kelvin indicated
the three shaded spots on his map.
"Buy them!" gasped Pellman. "He
barely glanced at the map and then
surveyed Kelvin in astonishment.
"Why! man" He paused. Words
were lame things. .
"Well. I want them," declared Kel
vin. "The reason I have sent for you is
t4.
OMr
"BUT THEM ' GASPED FE&XiUAN.
that I must not appear in this, even
by the slightest hint, nor must Mr.
Breed. Do you care to undertake the
deal for immediate manipulation?"
"Well," returned Pellman, "I don't
think I could start at it in much less
than thirty minutes."
In less than an. hour after Pellman
had gone Senator Sawyer found Kelvin
busy over another large map. this time
of the United States. Here and then
districts were lightly shaded, in other
places ' they were cross-hatched. ir
others left In pure white. The senator
was gravely glad to see his dear youn;
friend. Mr. Kelvin: gravely anxlou
about his physical condition and a
gravely solicitous about the health o.
his dear old friend. Mr. Henry Breed.
"As for myself." Kelvin smilingly
informed him. "I shall leave you to
judge. As for Mr. Breed, he is hearty
eaough to desire myself and Mr. Rol
lins nominated for the offices respec
tively of president and vice president
of the United States by your party at
the convention this coming spring."
"Am I to understand that you are In
earnest about this??' the senator pain
fully inquired.
"Certainly." replied Kelvin calmly.
"As earnest as we were about break
ing up Mr. Hepperdon's monopoly."
Mr. Sawyer winced He had rmce
been Hepperdon's chief senator and
had only recently, upon the unfortu
nate dissolution of Mr. Hepperdon's
combine, associated himself with Mr.
Breed.
"We have every prospect of success,"
Kelvin evenly resumed. "In the first
place, as the absolute proprietor of
every ounce of bread and cereal food
stuff in the United States, Mr. Breed
had a great many friends and useful
advisers among the the various legis
lative bodies of the country." Sena
tor Sawyer gravely nodded his head.
"In the second place, after he had se
cured control over every mile of rail
road In the United States. Mr. Breed
took a notion to" do a little trust bust
ing which proved highly successful,
and thereupon he became possessed
by reason of his immense anchorage
facilities of several other suddenly .at
tached friends and useful advisers.
Quite a little army, senator."
"Y-e-s." slowly admitted Mr. Sawyer,
with great mournfulness.
The senator had been harboring
quite other plans than those proposed
by Kelvin.
"You will find, senator." .went on
Kelvin, "that the tampaign is perfect
ly mapped out. I wish to remain, as
does Mr. Rollins, an ostensible dark
horse up to the very hour of the nomi
nation, and your operations will need
to be as quietly conducted as possible.
Our headquarters will comprise pri
vate apartments for yourself and such
others as you care to have with you.
and all living expenses will, of course,
go In with the other items of expendi
ture. There will naturally be a gener
ous honorarium attached. I shall be
highly gratified if you will'take charge
of the bureau, as will Mr. Breed snd
Mr. Rollins."
Mr. Breed's request, coming through
Kelvin, was an order. "The entire
matter comes as a surprise to me,"
said the senator, "but as a very pleas
ant .-prise. I can see a most Inter
esting campaign stretching before us.
and.it will afford me keen delight if 1
can tn any way contribute to the. suc
cess of two such remarkable young
men as yourself and Mr. Rollins."
Herbert Rensselaer called bewailing
the fact that his revered -aunt was
cheerfully sacrificing the absurdly
large salary which she denied that she
received to ': make a dwaddler out of
him because a Rensselaer must not
work. "I am supposed to repay her by
marrying the aforesaid Lillian, who
doesn't know It yet." he said. "Hon
estly, Kelvin.! If something doesn't
turn up upon which I may expend a
little man power energy I'll explode by
arid by. 1
. "Just possess your soul in patience."
advised Kelvin, smiling. "Wait until
I am elected president, and IU make a
cabinet officer of you." '
"Nonsense." ' protested Herbert. "I
have, no qualifications, old chap.
"Yes, but you have." insisted Kelvin,
speaking quite seriously. "You can
not be influenced, coerced or bought."
Young, Rensselaer' suddenly straight
ened up. "You are right," said he with
a snap of his Jaws; "and you may bet
your, last penny upon It that IU car
ry out your orders absolutely, wher
ever you put me, whether in the cabi
net or at the head of an army."
"You might even have a chance at
that," returned Kelvin dryly. Rensse
laer departed and Rollins came in.
"I have a brilliant solution for your
Long Island transportation problem,"
he began with enthusiasm. "I can de
liver commuter trains to your farthest
point if it does not exceed the eighty
five mile run you promised in one
hour from the bridge subway station."
Kelvin nodded in satisfaction. ' "1
knew you could work it out" he com
mented. 'Til have the necessary per
mits in two weeks, and you can begin
construction - at once. In the mean
time let - me show you a new map."
And from the thick pile of such dia
grams upon his desk he drew one
showing . the entire consolidated rail
road system of the United Spates.
"Rollins, in your mastership of every
mile of railroad in the United States
you . have the most powerful political
engine ever devised by man."
"I don't like it to be prostituted to
this use." protested Rollins.
The same old cry." returned Kel
vin, with a slightly exasperated laugh.
"You ought to be satisfied. I don't
know how many millions of graft you
have eliminated. You've equalized
freight rates so that the small shipper
has an equal chance with the big one.
You've been able to break up a score
of top heavy monopolies and trusts.
You've accomplished at least half your
designs." . .
"I know," granted Rollins; "but.
even so, I have been compelled for
political reasons to give rebates which
I had sworn I would never give. I
have been compelled .for political pur
poses to make concessions which I
had sworn I would never make."
"You're the most persistent chap,"
complained Kelvin. "When we have
a congress and a senate of our own
choice we can carry out all the Uto
pian plans of both Breed and our
selves. These concessions that you are
making are only investments, as Breed
would say."
Rollins looked up curiously. "I dpn't
quite understand Breed," said he. "He
seems at tims to possess all his old
shrewdness, but. at other times to be
Involved In a maze of mysticism."
Kelvin frowned. "He's spending too
much time with his Bible." he declar
ed. "He's Intemperate with It."
"
Kelvin, returning shortly after mid
night from his evening with Rensse
laer, went directly to his own sleep
ing apartment, which was at the ex
treme end of his suit. Sam. crouchinp

shrill chuckle and a grin so wide that
it brke into queer curves the long,
straight scar on his cheek.
"What are you laughing at, Sam?"
asked Phillip.
"Oh. Jes' nothin'," declared Sam, and
chuckled still more.
"I bet you are thinking of Lucy,"
charged Phillip.
"Ah reckon Ah am." confessed Sam,
with a laugh that ended In a shrill
falsetto. "Lucy an' sumpln' else."
"Something else, eh? What is it?
"Ah aln' done s'pose to tell,", gig
gled Sam. "Got t' have a secret once
in awhile, boss."
Sam busied himself about the re
maining preparations for Kelvin's re

to occasional chuckles, to which, how
ever, Kelvin paid but little attention,

height, obeying an Instinct which Im
pelled him to stand that he might feel
the. superb . strength of his body and
of his soul and of his will untrammel
ed by any weakening support. As he
did so the slight and cautious click of
a knob and the slight, careful creak
of a door startled him. He turned
hastily in the direction from which the
sounds had come. The end door of his
suit was the customary twin affair by
which hotel apartments are separated.

but nevertheless It was this door which
was opening.

Tt TOUCH of bright color and a
glittering eye were visible
j now in the crack of the door.
J The apparition which con

silk kimouo which revealed her white
throat and her shapely forearms, warm
against the soft crimson fabric. Her
dainty feet were incased in fur edged
slippers of red felt Her hair and her
eyes seemed blacker than ever. Her
face, a perfect oval, was warmed by
the rich color of abundant blood. Her
pointed chin was dimpled, and her
scarlet lips were curved in a smile,
half of mischief and half of delight.
"Lillian r gasped Kelvin.
, Her eyes sparkling, she put her fin
gers upon her lips and noiselessly clos
ed her own door, then Phillip's, behind
her, then advanced to him with out
stretched hands. He took them in his
own as a matter of course, but held
her at arm's length.
"What are you doing here?" he de
manded. "Have you gone mad?"
VNot at all," she laughed gayly. "I'm
quite sane and sensible, thank you. It

"Mrs. Rensselaer? Where is she?"
asked Phillip.
"Sound asleep and snoring in her

side of mine, with the bathroom be

coquetry. '
"I'm not." answered Phillip, push
ing her away almost roughly. "This
is the utmost folly. You must return
to your own room, and in the morn
ing yon must move to some other
floor or I shall. No; you must go to
some other hotel."
"I shan't move from the hotel." she

from her. And yet he could not look

Her own arm had slipped up and
slid around his neck, and suddenly
she had clasped both of them about
him and clung to him. For a moment
longer he resisted, and then he sud

kisses upon her smooth brow, her
silken eyelids, her burning cheeks, her
soft lips.
