What chance had a poor man against such a moloch as the railroad, even with a lawyer of such ability as had been exhibited by Hermann Krebs? Krebs was praised, and the attention of Mr. Lawler's readers was called to the fact that Krebs was the man who, some years before, had opposed single-handed in the legislature the notorious Bill No. 709.
Jason perturbed, nor was he. He seemed to be in an odd, rather exultant mood if he can be imagined as exultant. We were not long in finding out what pleased him nothing less than the fact that Mr. Krebs had proposed him for mayor! "D d if I wouldn't make a good one, too," he said. "D d if I wouldn't show 'em what a real mayor is!"
I was prepared to say that I would withdraw from the campaign, warn Krebs myself if this kind of tactics were not suppressed. But I could not get the banker. Then I began to have doubts of Dickinson's power in the matter.
It seemed as though in my isolation I loved Nancy, I missed her more than ever, and the flavour she gave to life. Then Hermann Krebs began to press himself on me.
This little matter disposed of; the Senator from Illinois passed his afternoon in calling upon some of his brother senators, and the first of those whom he honoured with a visit was Mr. Krebs, of Pennsylvania. There were many reasons which now made the co-operation of that high-minded statesman essential to Mr. Ratcliffe.
I, too, longed for a Cause into which I might fling myself, in which I might lose myself... I halted on the sidewalk to find myself staring from the opposite side of the street at a familiar house, my old landlady's, Mrs. Bolton's, and summoned up before me was the tired, smiling face of Hermann Krebs.
Whether or not as the result of the article in Yardley's, which had been read more or less widely in the city, the campaign of the Citizens Union gained ground, and people began to fill the little halls to hear Krebs, who was a candidate for district attorney. Evidently he was entertaining and rousing them, for his reputation spread, and some of the larger halls were hired.
Ratcliffe drew Krebs aside and they exchanged a few words as he passed out.
Krebs. I didn't know who he was. He just said, 'You'd better come with me, Miss Hutchins, and I went with him. I thought afterwards that it was a very courageous thing for him to do, because he was so popular with the mill people, and they had such a feeling against us. Yet they didn't seem to resent it, and made way for us, and Mr. Krebs spoke to many of them as we passed.
"And you're the man to tell 'em, Mr. Krebs." "It will need several thousand of us to do that, I'm afraid," said Krebs, returning his smile. My distaste for the situation became more acute, but I felt that I was thrown on the defensive. I could not retreat, now. "I think you are wrong," I declared, when the waiter had departed to attend to another customer.
