“Any man Is their man -whom you

don’t you give them Dunkirk? He
takes the money from the big busi-

men to sit in the legislature and
finances the machine throughout the

political machine. His power be-
longs to you people, to a dozen of you,
and you can take it away from him;
his popularity belongs to the party,
and it would cheer just as loudly for

“Mother was thrifty and couldn't en-

she decided to dry as many as she

fair, as I' always though the man I
married would be. Don’t look at me
like that. Your eyes are strange
enough when you are smiling; but
when you—I often wonder what you’re
so sad about.”
"Have you ever seen a grown per-
son’s face that wasn’t sad in repose?”
I asked, eager to shift from the par-
ticular to the general.
"A few Idiots, or near idiots,” she
replied, with a laugh. Therefore we
talked of the future and let the past
sleep in its uncovered coffin.
In fact, I had already thought of a
scheme, but before suggesting it I
wished to be sure it was as good as
it seemed. Also, there was a funda-
mental moral obstacle—the road
would be a public benefit; it ought to
be built. That moral problem caused
most of my wakefulness that night,
simple though the solution was when
It Anally came. The first thing Ed
said to me, as we faced each other
alone at breakfast, showed me how
well spent those hours were.
"About this business of the new
road," said he. “If I were the only
party at interest, I'd let Dunkirk go
ahead, for it's undoubtedly a good
thing from the public standpoint.
But I’ve got to consider the interests
of all those I’m trustee for—the other
share holders in the Ramsay com-
pany and in our other concerns here.”
“Yes,” replied I,” but why do you
say Dunkirk Intends to build the road?
Why do you take that for granted?”
"He’s all ready to do it, and it’d be
a money-maker from the start.”
“But,” I went on, "you must as-
sume that he has no intention of
building, that he is only making an
elaborate bluff. How do you know1
but that he wants to get this right of
way and charter so that he can black-
mail you and your concerns, not mere-
ly once, but year after year? You'd
gladly pay him several hundred thou-
“We got our wings out of the hay,
whore we had hidden them the day
before, and with the help of each other
soon had them—great feathery things—
attached to our shoulders.”
“’Wish I could have been there,”
laughed Tom.
“We must have presented an odd
looking sight, indeed we must,” smiled
his grandmother. “We then went very
carefully down to the orchard, to the
old shed where mother had her apples
drying. On the top there had been
spread five or six bushels. The roof
was almost completely covered.
“Cyrus went up on the ladder first
and scraped aside the apples. Of
course we didn’t want to walk over
them. As soon as he had done this he
told us to follow. Ezra then went up
earned wealth, gambling it away
cheerfully, because he feels that you
people will always give him more.”
“What do you propose?” he asked;
and I could see that his acute busi-
ness mind was ready to pounce upon
my scheme and search it hopefully if
mercilessly.
“A secret absolutely secret, combine
of a dozen of the big corporations of
my state—those that make the bulk
of the political business—the com-

CHAPTER V.
A Good Man and His Woes.
After Ed and I had carried the Fre-
donia election against Dunkirk’s road,
we went fishing with Roebuck in the
northern Wisconsin woods. I had
two weeks, two uninterrupted weeks,
in which to impress myself upon him;
besides, there was Ed, who related in
tedious but effective detail, on the
slightest provocation, the achieve-
ments that had made him my devoted
admirer. So when, I went to visit
Roebuck in June, at his house near
Chicago, he was ready to listen to
me in proper spirit.
I soon drew him on to tell of his
troubles with Dunkirk—how the sena-
tor was gouging him and every big
corporation doing business in

“It’s monstrous! Yet you should
have heard him address my Sunday
school scholars at the last annual out-
ing I gave them. What an evidence of
the power of religion it is that such
wretches as he pays the tribute of
hypocrisy to it!” ’ '
His business and his religion were I
Roebuck’s two absorbing passions—
religion rapidly predominating as he I
drew farther away from 60.
“Why do you endure his blackmail-
ing, Mr. Roebuck?" I asked. "He is
growing steadily worse.”
“He’s certainly more rapacious
than ten years ago,” Roebuck admit-
ted. “Our virtues or our vices, which-
ever we give the stronger hold on us,
become more marked as we approach
judgment. When we finally go, we |
are prepared for the place that has j
been prepared for us.”
“But why do you put up with his j
impudence?”
“What can we do? He has political
power and is our only protection
against the people. They have been
inflamed with absurd notions about
their rights. They are filled with
envy and suspicion of the rich. They
have passed laws to hamper us in de-
veloping the country and want to pass
more and worse laws. So we must
either go out of business and let the
talents God has given us He idle in
a napkin, or pay the Dunklrks to pre-
vent the people from having their ig-
norant wicked way, and destroying
us and themselves. For how would
they get work if we didn’t provide
it for them?”
"A miserable makeshift system,”
said I, harkening back to Dunkirk and
his blackmailing, for I was not just
then in the ’mood to amuse myself
with the contortions of Roebuck's flex-
ible and fantastic “moral sense.”
"I’ve been troubled In conscience a
groat deal, Harvey, about the moral-
ity of what we businees men are
forced to do. I hope—Indeed I feel—
that we are justified in protecting our
property in the only way open to us.
The devil must be fought w4th fire,
you know.”
"How muck did Dunkirk rob you of
last year?" I asked-
“Nearly 1300,000,” he said, and his
expression suggested that eaoh dol-
lar had been separated from

“And,” I went on, “if he should
build the road, what would he do
with it? ‘iVhy, the easiest and big-
gest source of profit would be to run
big excursions every Saturday and
Sunday, especially Sunday, into Fre-
doaia. He’d fill the place every Sun-
day from May till November, with
roistering roughs from the slums of
Chicago. How'd the people like
that?’’
“He wouldn’t dare.” objected Ram-
say, stupidly insisting on leaning
backward in his determination to
stand straight. “He’s a religious hyp-
ocrite. He’s afraid.”
“As Deacon Dunkirk he wouldn't
dare,” I replied. “But as the Chi-
cago & Fredonia Short Dine he’d dare
anything, and nobody would blame
him personally. You know how that
Is."

miration.

I anticipated. He sat rubbing his
broad, bald forehead, twisting his
white whiskers and muttering to him-

are you and Lottie Ramsay going to

“In the fall,” sold I. "In about
three months.”

‘ONE, TWO, THREE I* AND WITH THAT WE STARTED.
This slieu my father sometimes used
for a comcrib. One day at dinner my
uncle Joel—he was father’s youngest
brother—wanted to know why the ap-
ples couldn’t be spread on the roof of'
this shed to dry, so we should not
have to string them all, as we were do-
ing.
“Mother thought a moment and then
said if one of the men would sweep the
roof off clean and set a ladder up
against it she would try it for once.
“The shed was old, and father was
afraid to have mother go up on it to
spread out the sliced apples for fear
it might, with her weight, if she got
too near the edge, tumble over. So
my brother Cyrus—he was two years
older than I—took the apples as fast as
mother cut them and spread them over
the roof. He had it nearly all coTered
when the accident occurred.”
“I should think ’twould have hurt
you awfully.” interrupted Dick.
“No; but it’s a wonder it didn’t,” re-
plied his grandmother.
“How high up was the roof?” asked
Tom. ’ ,
“About eight feet, aud we had often
jumped more than that distance from
the mows to the barn floor.”
“It must have been fun,” said Doro-
thy eagerly.
“That fall,” resumed Grandma Gil-
bert, "mother had an unusually large

we were on the roof we could feel it
sway somewhat as we walked e ver it.
We didn’t mind this, however, but

“Our first thought was to take turns
flying, but my brother Cyrus decided
we'd better all fly together and alight
on a low branch qf an old oat that
stood by the corner of the barnyard,
only a few yards away. ‘Of course you
can fly that far” he said.”

“Not much. We were scratched up

"You can’t expect to get what you

All the rest of the
fall, as long as the apples lasted,
mother continued drying them, aud we
had to do the stringing up. She didn't
try any more spreading out the diced
apples, as Uncle Joel had Buggesied.”
“Did you ever try to fly again?”
asked Dorothy.
“No. After our first failure we de-
cided to leave flying to the birds; we
had got enough of it. But now I

The bright golden dandelion blos-
soms, not the roots, make an excel-
lent tonic wine or cordial. Choose
them from a clean piece of grass,
rinse quickly to expel any insects,
then cover with boiling water. Let
this stand in a warm place, but not
to cook fast, for about five minutes, to
insure a strong infusion. Now press
hard to extract all the juices. When
strained and measured you must
sweeten to taste—it will take quite a
good deal of sugar—and add brandy.
Allow one pint of brandy to every
four gallons of the dandelion sirup.
Put it in glass jars or bottles until
fermentation ceases, then rebottle and
seal. Wines are usually kept filled up
as they “work,” so that the ferment-
ing material on the top can fall out-
side. When it has ceased working
bottle it freshly and seal it.
A dandelion wine that has no spirit
added and is not fermented makes a
very pleasant and healthful drink.
This recipe was obtained from a wom-
an who makes it for customers in the
suburbs. It is an old English recipe.
She also makes fine English plum pud-
ding. and these little sales add to her
small income obtained from keeping
a tollhouse.
Take two heaping quarts of dande-
lion flowers, add four quarts of boiling
water. Let stand for 24 hours. Strain
and add three pounds of sugar and two
lemons sliced thin. Boil all for 15
minutes and bottle. If not desired

add to them slowly the hot syrup

A dandelion wine that has yeast add-
ed to it to start fermentation, also ob-
tained in Pennsylvania, is made from
three quarts of dandelion blossoms,
three pounds of white sugar and one
gallon of water and two oranges and
two lemons.
Place the blossoms in an earthen
Jar or deep bowl. Pour the water
over boiling hoL Let them stand un-
covered. Next morning strain and
add the sugar and boil this sirup for
half an hour. Pare the lemons and
oranges very thin, rejecting all the in-
ner white portion. Bruise the par-
ings thoroughly and add to the above
ingredients.
