The storm broke at McIver's factory. It was as Jake Vodell had told the Interpreter it would be "easy to find a grievance." McIver declared that before he would yield to the demands of his workmen, his factory should stand idle until the buildings rotted to the ground. The agitator answered that before his men would yield they would make Millsburgh as a city of the dead.
Helen looked her gratitude and McIver led the Mill owner away. When they were in Adam's own apartment and the door was shut McIver's manner changed with startling abruptness. With all the masterful power of his strong-willed nature he faced his trembling host, and his heavy voice was charged with the force of his dominating personality. "Listen to me, Adam Ward. You must stop this crazy nonsense.
"Even the men in McIver's factory tell me you are the best friend that labor has ever had in this place." He paused expectantly. The man in the wheel chair bowed his head. "And then," continued Jake Vodell, with a frown of displeasure, "when I come to see you, to ask some questions about things that I should know, what do I hear?
"I know, Jim and and you are perfectly wonderful but Oh, can't we forget it just for an hour?" As if giving himself to her mood, McIver's voice and manner changed. "Do you mind if we stop at the factory just a second? I want to leave some papers. Then we can go on up the river drive."
The postmaster took a handful from the same box and said, as he dropped a dollar on the top of the show case, "I see Sam Whaley has confessed that the blowing up of the factory was all set as part of their program. Their plan was to wreck the Mill first then McIver's place. Where do you suppose Jake Vodell got away to?" "Hard to guess," said the judge.
Before the man could answer, she ran up the steps and disappeared through the front door. But McIver's car was no more than past the entrance when Helen appeared again on the porch. For a moment she stood, as if debating some question in her mind. Then apparently, she reached a decision.
"An' the princess lady is a-comin' some day to take Bobby and me away up in the sky to her beautiful palace place where there's flowers and birds an' everythin' all the time an' an' " The big eyes were fixed on Helen's face as the' young woman stooped over the bed, and the light of a glorious smile transformed the wasted childish features. "Why why yer yer've come!" McIVER'S OPPORTUNITY
When McIver's imperialistic declaration was known, the number who were in favor of supporting Jake Vodell's campaign increased measurably. Nearly every day now at some hour of the evening or night, Pete and Captain Charlie, with others from among their union comrades, might have been found in the hut on the cliff in earnest talk with the man in the wheel chair.
He wondered why. The big house on the hill, as he approached the iron gates, seemed strangely grim and forbidding. The soft darkness of the starlit night invited him to stay out of doors. Reluctantly, half in mind to turn back, he drove slowly up the long driveway. The sight of McIver's big car waiting decided him. He did not wish to meet the factory owner that evening.
You are safe here." The insane man chuckled. "The folks at the house think I am in my room asleep. They don't know that I never sleep. I'll tell you something. If a man sleeps he goes to hell hell hell " His voice rose almost to a scream and he shook with terror. "Did you see it? Did you see when hell broke out to-night over there where McIver's factory used to be?
