A thorough search of the storehouse is made, and then the committee assembles in the narrow semi-circle. After the meeting is called to order, there is an apparent apathy on the part of a number of the Eastern members. When questioned they freely admit that they do not believe their constituents would sanction the drastic measure. Nevins is absent on his visit to Trueman.
Henceforth you will find office room elsewhere. Remember, sir, I forbid you to have any communication with my daughter." With these words Purdy walks out of Trueman's office. "It may be better for me to get out of this damnable atmosphere while I still have a spark of manhood left," Trueman muses, as he sits at his desk.
I had rather have an ounce of real good done with my own hands, and seen with my own eyes, than speculate about doing a ton in a wild way, which I know can never be brought about. Fantom. I despise a narrow field. Oh, for the reign of universal benevolence! I want to make all mankind good and happy. Trueman.
Pity gives place to love as he tells them that Ethel Purdy wishes to give to the citizens of Wilkes-Barre the millions that her father has hoarded; when he concludes by telling them that she is to become his wife, an acclaim of rejoicing is given. The priest, this time without reluctance, pronounces Harvey Trueman and Ethel Purdy man and wife.
Where is the man?" "Trueman! Trueman!" comes the cry. From mouth to mouth the name passes; now it is shrieked by an entire state delegation; now by the entire assemblage. Louder and louder becomes the cry. It is chanted, sung, shouted, shrieked. Men who have shouted themselves hoarse utter it inarticulately. In the centre of the floor there is a movement; the guidon of New York is moving.
He was a pleasant man and had taken a kindly interest in the capable young workman from the start. "Well, Randolph, this is a terrible business of poor Trueman," he said, as he pointed him to a chair. "Terrible! I can't get over it. A fine man and one of our best finishers too. Well, we can't do anything for him now, poor fellow, but he left a boy I think?"
Neville Trueman held on the even tenor of his way, through the period during which the tide of war was ebbing away on the Atlantic coast and on the lower Mississippi. Notwithstanding the tried and true character of his loyalty, he was not free from ungenerous and unjust aspersions by those prejudiced and bigoted against his American birth.
"That's Trueman, or I'm a liar!" shouts an Irishman. "That's who it is," blurts a man beside him. "What is he doing down here? I thought he was to speak on West Street?" Some of the men in the crowd now begin cheering. They cry: "Trueman! Trueman! Rah! rah! rah! Speech! speech!" The proper moment has arrived. Trueman takes off his hat and waves it as a sign for silence.
"What a privilege to rid the world of this genius of evil!" is Nevins's inward comment as he reads the fatal slip and sees that upon him has fallen the lot to execute the sentence of annihilation upon James Golding, the King of Wall street. After an absence of weeks, during which time Harvey Trueman carries the war into the very heart of the Magnates' strongholds, he returns to Chicago.
You would be as determined in suppressing violence as you were in preventing crime of any other sort? Your gratitude to the people for electing you would not blind you to your duty in preventing them from instituting a reign of anarchy? I am correct in this supposition?" Nevins looks Trueman in the eyes with a glance that seems intent on reading his inmost thoughts.
