He has risen from the ranks and has in turn been fireman and engineer. He gives a reception in honour of his engagement to Miss Maude Allyne. She is a fitting mate for Spencer. The gossips wonder how such dominating natures can mate, and predict that the wedding bells will never ring. On the night of the bethrotal discontented railroad employees hold a torch-light mass meeting in the village square. The festivities in the great mansion are interrupted by the wild cries. An orator points to the brilliantly lighted house on the hill, and denounces the creed of the president. The railway road employees appoint a committee to lay their grievances before the president.
