That
’
s
so
,
"
said
Mr
.
Weatherby
peaceably
.
"
So
I
wouldn
’
t
bet
on
Mr
.
Buzzy
Watts
,
Clem
.
And
I
wouldn
’
t
let
it
worry
me
.
"
"
Wesley
’
s
an
impartial
man
,
"
said
Mr
.
Weatherby
.
"
A
man
devoted
to
public
duty
.
It
’
s
the
interests
of
the
country
as
a
whole
that
he
’
s
got
to
consider
above
everything
else
.
"
Taggart
sat
up
;
of
all
the
danger
signs
he
knew
,
this
line
of
talk
was
the
worst
.
"
Nobody
can
deny
it
,
Jim
,
that
Wesley
feels
a
high
regard
for
you
as
an
enlightened
businessman
,
a
valuable
adviser
and
one
of
his
closest
personal
friends
.
"
Taggart
’
s
eyes
shot
to
him
swiftly
:
this
was
still
worse
.
"
But
nobody
can
say
that
Wesley
would
hesitate
to
sacrifice
his
personal
feelings
and
friendships
—
where
the
welfare
of
the
public
is
concerned
.
"
Taggart
’
s
face
remained
blank
;
his
terror
came
from
things
never
allowed
to
reach
expression
in
words
or
in
facial
muscles
.
The
terror
was
his
struggle
against
an
unadmitted
thought
:
he
himself
had
been
"
the
public
"
for
so
long
and
in
so
many
different
issues
,
that
he
knew
what
it
would
mean
if
that
magic
title
,
that
sacred
title
no
one
dared
to
oppose
,
were
transferred
,
along
with
its
"
welfare
,
"
to
the
person
of
Buzzy
Watts
.
But
what
he
asked
,
and
he
asked
it
hastily
,
was
,
"
You
’
re
not
implying
that
I
would
place
my
personal
interests
above
the
public
welfare
,
are
you
?
"
"
No
,
of
course
not
,
"
said
Mr
.
Weatherby
,
with
a
look
that
was
almost
a
smile
.
"
Certainly
not
.
Not
you
,
Jim
.
Your
public
-
spirited
attitude
—
and
understanding
—
are
too
well
known
.
That
’
s
why
Wesley
expects
you
to
see
every
side
of
the
picture
.
"
"
Yes
,
of
course
,
"
said
Taggart
,
trapped
.
"
Well
,
consider
the
unions
’
side
of
it
.
Maybe
you
can
’
t
afford
to
give
them
a
raise
,
but
how
can
they
afford
to
exist
when
the
cost
of
living
has
shot
sky
-
high
?
They
’
ve
got
to
eat
,
don
’
t
they
?
That
comes
first
,
railroad
or
no
railroad
.
"
Mr
.
Weatherby
’
s
tone
had
a
kind
of
placid
righteousness
,
as
if
he
were
reciting
a
formula
required
to
convey
another
meaning
,
clear
to
all
of
them
;
he
was
looking
straight
at
Taggart
,
in
special
emphasis
of
the
unstated
.
"
There
are
almost
a
million
members
in
the
railway
unions
.
With
families
,
dependents
and
poor
relatives
—
and
who
hasn
’
t
got
poor
relatives
these
days
?
—
it
amounts
to
about
five
million
votes
.
Persons
,
I
mean
.
Wesley
has
to
bear
that
in
mind
.
He
has
to
think
of
their
psychology
.
And
then
,
consider
the
public
.
The
rates
you
’
re
charging
were
established
at
a
time
when
everybody
was
making
money
.
But
the
way
things
are
now
,
the
cost
of
transportation
has
become
a
burden
nobody
can
afford
.
People
are
screaming
about
it
all
over
the
country
.
"
He
looked
straight
at
Taggart
;
he
merely
looked
,
but
his
glance
had
the
quality
of
a
wink
.
