"I went to him," began Newman, "bearing a request from -from" ---- The judge paused. It was not whot. ly easy to present matters to this hon- est eyed young girl in such a way as to bring her in his way of thinking. But Wainwright felt no difficulty. His shrewd brain caught at a means of turning the affair to account. "Yoti see, Dallas," the financier broke In, with a warning glance to Newman, "I begged the judge to intercede for me with Bennett, to ask him to bury the hatchet and let us be friends again for the sake of old times.

CHAPTER XIL LWYN BENNECT sat in his own study at home in the big Ben- nett house that remahaed as almost the last landmark of that solid middle nineteenth century wealth and faallion which had once dominated a neighborhood now given over to office buildings and apartment houses The hour was late. An hour and more had passed since the young msty- or and his mother had returned from the administration ball. The 11011846 was silent and even the nsuallyt busy, streets outside were wrapped in the hush that never falls until after mid., night and is dispersed by the gray dawn. Late as it was Alwyn had triads 'no move to discard his evening elothea4 Alone he sat, big head resting between; Charles Wainwright. his crossed arms on tile desk before. • Motionless, inert, hopeless, he had re- mained there ever since his arrival from the ba.11.

And now that love was snatched from his grasp, "through no fault of hie own, and bestowed on a man unworthy to kiss the hem of her garment At each step in the long climb Alwyn bad asked himself, "Would she ap- prove?" And now through trying to be worthy that approval he had for- ever lost It, for Dallas, he knew, had not only rejected him and engaged her- self to Gibbs. but had done so with the belief that Bennett was a heartless, un- scrupulous intriguer, undeserving of a good wotuan's regard. A rap at the door aroused Bennett from his bitter thoughts. He lifted Ws - head wearily and gaveword to enter. - A drowsy servant cause in with a card. "He says it's important business, sir," said the footman. "And he wishes to see you at ouce, if possible." "Show him up," answered Bennett, dropping his voice so as not to disturb his mother, who slept on the same , floor. "I will see him here." , A minute later Horrigards bulky form blocked the threshold. • "Queer time of night for a call,," he observed casually, as he entered unin- vited, closed the door behind him and took a chair, • "but my buginess wouldn't Await." "Then state it as briefly as you can," directed Bennett, making no move to rise or welcome his unbidden guest "It is very late, and I am tired." "I've come to see you about our Bor- ough bill." "So I supposed." "You won't call off your fight against us?" "That question is hardly worth an- swering. No." "I thought not Well, Mr. Alwyn Bennett, I've got you! I've got you! Do you understand me?" 'Perfectly. Is that all?" "No, it ain't all," mimicked the bos0.1 "And I'm ID earnest I've got you where 1 want you." "That doesn't interest me. If you've nothing else to say" - "But I have," chuckled Horrigan. 'When it came to a showdown be- tween us two I put a staff of men to looking up your record." "You found nothing you could use. Is that"-. "..No; it isn't even the beginning. Then I remembered about your fa- ther." "About my father?" It grated on Bennett that his dead father's honored name should be spo- ken by this low politician, but before he could protest more forcibly Horri- gan went on: "What d'yon think if I said your fa- ther was a grafter -one of the worst of his time?" "I'd say you lied," answered Bennett calmly, "and I'd drive the foul lie down your throat with my fist You'll 'have to think of some better scheme than that." "Do you think I'd be idiot enough to ' come here svith -the story if I didn't hnavceonftuenapt ll proof of it?" asked Horrigan i And, despite himself, Alwyn saw the man was speaking what he believed to be the truth. He paused in his impul- sive forward move, reseatecl himself and asked coldly: "What so called 'proofs' have you been fooled by your heelers 1n.to think - "Don't believe me, hey? Well, you will fast enough before I'm done, Un- less you're afraid of what I've got to say." "I'm not afraid of anything you can say. The highest tribute to my fa- ther's memory is the fact that a cur like you cannot defile it. Go on. .1,11 listen to you." "Very good," said Horrigan, quite • unmoved. "I'll make it as short as I. can. I remembered your father got rich pretty quick. He was a member of the organization, and his firm got the jobs of Wilding the aqueduct and the new library. That gave me my clew. I looked up the specifications for both jobs, and I turned them over to the old engineering firm of Morris & Cherrington. You know the firm, 'per- haps: If you don't, you can look -them up. They don't belong to the organiza- tion; they're the best experts in their line, and they can't be juggled with." 9 know them. Go on." "I paid them a fancy sum to go over those specifications and then examine the library and the aqueduct and see if they were up to the mark or if the city 'd been cheated by the Bennett Contracting canpany. I had a strong idea.I was right, but I wouldn't speak till I had the proof. When I got home after the ball tonight! found the Mor- ris & Cherrington report waiting for me. I brought a copy of it along with "Well," asked Bennett indifferently. "what then?" "Here's the copy of the report -Look It over for yourself. The crookedest job ever pulled. off in this city!

Granite shell filled with mortar instead of solid granite; foundations barely half the depth called for; in- ferior tiles in place of fireproof ones; cheap, crumbly iron and steel instead of first quality -oh, there's fifty such substitutions and frauds!
