"Are we going to be had?" deroandeO
Merritt. testily, "are we going to stand
for this holdup?" and he turned dis
gustedly toward the door.
"Don't you think we'd better keep
Mr. Slade busy In come other way.
Strickland repeated. I
'I don't," Merritt flung back over
his shoulder as be left the room, fol
lowed, as usual, by Hunt.
Merritt'B hasty departure was the
signal for Katherine to adjust her
wraps and remark: "We must be late
for Trietan."
Hayes followed her. I must see you
alone, Katherine. You're still free
there's no foreigner on the scene, is
there, Katherine?"
"Boh," Katherine's voice was sweet
but firm. "I don't think I shall ever
marry now "
"Oh, nonsense," ha protested.
"No," even more positively, '"The
more I see of men but wnate tne
use? There never was but one man
I could have got on with, and I didn't
happen to live'in his time."
"Who' was the boy?" Hayes asked.
lightly.
"Strange," Katherine replied, pen
sively, "I've Just been talking about
him Napoleon Bonaparte."
"Oh, Lord that fellow." Hayes was
much relieved. "Can I have tomor
row evening?"
"Yes If you yes tomorrow eve
ning. Bob."
Her voice lingered a bit on the Bob,
and with quick impulsiveness Hayee
caught her hand and kissed It.
In another minute she had turned
to Slade.
"Oh, Mr. Slade, won't you let me
make a head of you?"
"A head of me?" Slade repeated in
surprise.
"Think it over," Katherine sug
gested, as she and her father went out,
leaving Hayes and Slade watching her
proud, graceful figure until it disap
peared from view.
Slade looked critically at Hayes for
a moment or two after the girl had
gone.
"Oh, now I remember," he suddenly
exclaimed. "You're the chap ehe gave
up for Paris a long time ago?"
"When she was twenty-one and I
was twenty-four and six feet one inch
of a western lawyer, just out of the
woods. How does Mrs. Slade take to
this governorship business?" be fin
ished, abruptly.
"She doeen't take to it." Slade'a
voice was hard. '
"I was afraid she wouldn't"
"Well, nobody's going to stand in
my way." A malignant light showed
In his eyes,
"My boy, I'm out to win."
In spite of the fact that he was In
full evening attire, he thrust his hands
into his pockets and almost etrutted
about the room. "I outgeneraled that
crcwd here tonight. By God, I did!
Do you know ?" He paused In his
walk and looked down on Hayes six
feet sprawled over one of the brocaded
chairs "there's just a little drop of
that fellow Napoleon Bonaparte In
me!" '
"Napoleon Bonaparte got on by
leaving a woman behind," Hayes re
turned, seriously, refusing to enter into
Blade's spirit of self-satisfied good
humor.
"You mind your own d n business.
Bob," Slade turned on him, suddenly.
"All right I'm off to the opera. I
only meant that Napoleon was a bad
boy for you to follow,- because he
treated his first wife like a dirty dish
rag. That's why I'm glad that second
little Austrian hussy paid him back.
That's all. I love Mrs. Slade. When
I was Elck with fever In your mining
camp she was a mother to me."
"Don't forget that I made you,"
Slade reminded him. "I," and . he
tapped bis cnest. I gave you your
chance."
."I don't All the same I'd hate to
see you elected, because of Mrs. Slade.
It seems to be the regular thing, be
coming universal, for a very success
ful man to leave home the minute he's
on his feet Good night"
"One minute. Bob. You've given me
a lot of good advice. Ill give you
6ome. Are you in love with that girl?'
"Yes," Hayes grunted; "good night
Is that all?"
"No;" Slade paused, watching Hayes
through narrowed eyelids. "That girl
needs a large pie with every one of
her fingers In it Bob, I'm sorry for
you. Your pie Isn't big enough."
"Well lfe my pie. Good night"
and he was gone.
After Hayes had gone, Slade eat, his
arms resting on the table, staring into
space. Every now and then the cor
ners of his mouth came down and his
eyes narrowed. He was thinking of
Katherine Strickland1 and Hayes. That
woman for Hayes! Hayes must be a
presumptuous pup to ever think of
winning that queen. Such women were
meant for the kings of the earth not
for their hirelings. - .
Suddenly Blade's eyes lighted with
the fire of decision. His mouth be
came a firrn straight line ofdeter-
mlriatlon. There7 vas something Im
placable and grim in his very attitude
as the reeolve to win Katherine Strick
land became fixed In his mind. He
longed to hurry after her1 to tell her
of his decision to fight. If not with,
then for her. He was eager to show
her just how much they two together
could make out of life, a big, fine fight
for position and power.
Even the thought of being governor
was left in the distance as plan after
plan raced through his mind, of greater
conquests and bigger achievements,
possible only with a woman like Kath
erine Strickland for his wife. So ab
sorbed and intense were his thoughts
of the future with her for the moment
he forgot completely the woman who
for 30 years had kept her place as, h?3
wfe. In a his dealing? he had never
considered obstacles, except to sweep
them from bis path. As he remem
bered the present and. Mary, he never
Hesitated or faltered from bis newly
made resolution.
Mary could go It alone. He would
see that 6he had everything that
money could buy. He would make her
comfortable and take care of her. That
she should be further considered never
entered his mind. Always ruthless in
his methods, he was equally cruel even
when the obstacle to his advancement
was a fragile little woman who had
given him the best of her love and
years and who would gladly have laid
down her life to save his.
It was not as If a sudden flame of
intensive, overwhelming love for Kath
erine Strickland had surged through
his heart It was nothing as decent
or as fine or as blameless as that His
whole attitude toward the girl was
one of cold-blooded acquisition. He
had determined to have her just as he
had determined only last week to out
bid every other man at the rug auc
tion. He wanted her to take a place
in his life because he knew what her
value would be to him. He wanted her
beauty, her brain, her savoir falre, as
bo many stepping stones by which to
mount higher and higher in the affairs
of the state and the nation.
In spite of the fact that he criticized
his wife's lack of social graces, he
was wise enough to know that he was
far from a finished product himself.
In spite of himself, traces of the par
venu occasionally showed through the
veneer of bluff and arrogance. With
a wife like Katnerine ne would soon
come to know all the fine points of the
social game. A wife like Katherine
would cover up a multitude of his lit
tle sins of commission and omission.

like an eager child who has been re
pressed. "No," Slade replied, briefly and with
out much interest
Mary breathed a quick sigh of relief.
"Ah, then, we'll have a nice, quiet,
pleasant evening," she declared, add
ing coaxingly : "Let's go upstairs and
have a game of euchre. We haven't
played for ever so long."
Slade looked at her, hi3 eyes drawn
Into a deep frown. It was true he
wasn't angry with her, but he was
angry at the thwarting circumstances
that were hemming him in. Her very
manner Irritated him now her quiet
contentment her calm acceptance of
her failure to meet his guests and fill
her plate as mistress of his home mad
dened him. He was all the more de
termined to fight for something else

CHAPTER IV.
Slade wanted Katherine Strickland
for his wife much the same as he
would have desired a wealthy, clever,
influential man for a partner. It was
to be a union of ambition. There was
no tenderness in his thoughts of her.
He was actuated purely and simply by
the ust for power and the greed of
glory. AU the softer, better things in
the man's nature were swamped by
this torrent of craving for worldly suc
cess that was sweeping him on to com
mit the most dastardly act in his long
career of -trampling over the heads
and hearts of adversaries and oppo
nents.
Even when he was a boy Dan Slade
had always set hie teeth at "You can'
do it" or "It can't be done." The very
difficulty of a thing strengthened his
determination to do. All his life long
his success had been punctuated by
the ruin of other men. He had not
advanced so far without pushing other
men back. Now that a woman instead
of a man stood In the way, the result
was the same. His methods might be
quieter, more merciful, but the answer
would be the same. Mary's sterling
worth, her long years of devotion and
sweet tenderness counted for nothing
once he became convinced that Mary's
dowdiness, her standpat policy and her
arrested development were stop-gaps
In bis- own opportunity for progres
sion. He ignored the fact that the lit
tle brown-eyed, patient woman was as
much a part of him as were his eyes
or his arms or any other very essen
tial part of his being. .
It was at Just this point In Blade's
pitiless reasoning that Mary, peering
over . the baluster and . seeing him
alone, hurried down the stairs.
"Thank goodness, they've gone," she
declared as she came into the room.
Then seeing the numerous side lights
burning she hastened to turn one
after the other down to a glimmer.
"I'm'so glad you're not going out" she
went on, coming over to him and rub
bing her cheek against his sleeve. The
little movement was a pathetically
mute appeal for some caress. "What'd
they say?" she asked, suddenly, as
she realized that her tender yearning
met with no response). -
. But her husband was in no com
municative frame of mind.
. "You're not mad with me, are yer?"
ehe questioned, wistfully, very much
