resented it, he'd laugh at you and walk away. I suspect him of
being a good deal of a poseur and a fakir. All those
revolutionary chaps are. But I honestly think that he really
doesn't care a rap for classes --or for money--or for any of the
substantial things.''

``He sounds common,'' said Miss Hastings. ``I've lost interest
in him.'' Then in the same breath: ``How does he live? Is he a
carpenter?''

``He was--for several years. You see, he and his mother together
brought up the Dorn family after the father was killed. They
didn't get a cent of damages from the railroad. It was an
outrage----''

``But my father was the largest owner of the railroad.''

Hull colored violently. ``You don't understand about business,
Jen. The railroad is a corporation. It fought the case--and the
Dorns had no money--and the railway owned the judge and bribed
several jurors at each trial. Dorn says that was what started
him to thinking --to being a revolutionist--though he doesn't
call himself that.''

``I should think it would!'' cried Miss Hastings. ``If my father
had known----'' She caught her breath. ``But he MUST have
known! He was on the train that day.''

``You don't understand business, Jen. Your father wouldn't
interfere with the management of the corporation .''
