In! for the Borough bill that'll maybe
throw dust to your eyes if you ain't put
on to it in advance. They've cut out,
the subway paragrapb, an' the express
business clause, an' they allow trans-
fers at all cross lines. That's the way
they'll put the bill up to the aldermen
next time. A nice, harmless lookin'
document it'll be, an' perhaps the board
'11 swatter it if" -
"But do the alterations In the bill
also eliminate the 'perpetual 'franchise'
clause?"
"Al), there's the point! They don't.
Ail the other things you kicked against
have beeu wiped out, but the 'perpetual
franchise' clause stands?'
"And the $2.000,000 cash offer stands,
too," added Bennett, "I still fail to see
why I should present Mr. Wainwright's
company with n franchise for which
another man is willing to pay the city
22,000,000, and I shall fight the bill to
the very end."
"Good boy, your honor! An' "Jimmy
Phelan's with you. We'll make Horri-
gan look like" -
"He needs fourteen votes to carry
the bill past my veto. He has his thir-
teen aldermen, under Williams' lead.
But only those thirteeI " voted for the
bill in its original state. • Unless Horri-
gan and Williams can find a fourteenth
alderman to"- '
"Unless one of the men who voted
against it before can be brought to
vote for it next time Horrigan loses,"
answered Phelan. "He'll make it his
;business to buy a fourteenth man, an'
I'll make it my business to find out
. who he' tries to get an' to help your
honor keep that same fourteenth man
•straight. That's how it adds up so far.
Well, I'll be joggin'. I'll keep you post -
.ed, an' ,between us we'll make Horri-
gan give a livin' picture imitation of a
man without a scalp before we're
,through with him." "
Little' of Phelan's exultation was re-
flected in the new mayor's face as the
alderman bustled out. His duty lay
clear before him, and that duty he
'would follow. But he alone realized
the cost. He had so counted on the
promised talk with Dallas Wainwright
the preceding evening, On the hopes
of that interview he had staked his all.
In it he was to have received the half
pledged reward for his months of toil
and achievement.
Yet in view of his present relations
toward Wainwright he could not, of
course. visit the financier's home. The
doors of the house that contained the
,woman he loved had been barred to
^him. And Dallas -what must she have
thought of his ffkure to call?

that Horrigan's trying •s to put the In-
dian sign on. We've got to nail him

"You're sure it's n Roberts?" asked
Bennett in the same undertone.
The administration ball was in full
awing. Mayor and alderman bad
chanced to meet for a moment in a big,
crowded.. reception foyer just off the
ballroom. ,
"Am. 1 sure it's Roberts?" echoed
Phelan. "Am I sure? Might as well
desk me am I sure Chesty Dick Horri-
gan is crooked. I've got the facts down
straight '.Chem secret service chaps of
mine" --
"If they get Roberts they will be
able to pass the bill" -

"Are

lady as. he found a seat for her.
"Yes," she answered. "Aren't you?"
"Of course I am. Why do you ask?"
The foyer was thinning out as peo-
ple trooped to, the ballroom, For the
moment mother and son were alone
legether,
"You aren't having a good time, Al-
wyn,'u'sbn contradicted gently. "You're
i riliappy about something, Tell me,"
"Nonsense!" he denied, with a forced
laugh. •'I"—
"You are thinking of Dallas, my boy.
Is anything wrong between you and
her? What has, happened?"
Nothing," he answered sullenly.
But the mother was not content Her
heart netted for the grief her son was
truing to hide.
"Something has happened, Alwyn,"
•:he declared, "and 1 want to know.

"Nothing that can be helped."
"But you never go to see her.or"-

her while she is in his house? I ex

"I hadn't thought of that. You poor
Imy T But surely' -
"And something inose. Her money
and Perry's are invested in Borough
:stocks. By beating that bill I seem
outwardly to, be willfully wrecking
their fortune. I told you the plan I ar-
ranged with Perry to avert this, but
Ache doesn't know of that. And" -
"Why don't you tell her, then? Or
yet Inc tel! her?"
"Because it isn't her gratitude 1
leant I want her to love me."
"But don't you see in the meantime
what a weapon you are putting into
Mr. Wainwright's hands?' suppose he
tells Dallas of your enmity to him and
lets her know you are seemingly trying
to impoverish her and her brother? He
might prejudice her terribly against" -
"I've thought of all that. I must be
eoutent to wait. Next Friday the re-
1•4sed Borough bill comes up before the
aldermen again for the final fight
\Vhen it's settled one way or the other
I can go 'to her and explain. Mean-
tilne"-
"Meantime she is here tonight with
lir. Wainwright Have y`ou seen her?"
"Only for a minute."
"Did she treat you with the same
i riendliness, the same interest, as of
old? Don't think I'm inquisitive, dear.
1 only ask all these questions because
I love you."
"I know," he answered, pressing her
hand as it lay on his arm, "yet I can
hardly answer you, for I hardly know.
In her presence I am not at ease be -
mime I can't her tell e e everything,
and
she seems ill at ease because she knows
there's something I don't tell her. Oh,

After that I cah go to her and make it

Before Mrs. Bennett Could reply Per-
ry returned to the ballroom, Cynthia at•
his side,
"Then why not give me the next one,
too?" the lad was pleading. "1yf one

"But see," expostulated Cynthia,

observed
Perry benevolently,
ns he deposited Cynthia on a fauteuil
beside her chaperon.' Mrs; Bennett "I
wish him so much good luck that if
he'd slip and bleak both his legs I'd
pay for a cab to take hint home"
"Look out, pleitse!" begged Cynthia..
"Isle's eoming"
"The next is ours, I think, AMA Gar -
demi," said G%bbg, entering (rent the
ballroom with Dallas on hIS arm. "I
hope we'll have better fortune than
Miss Wainwright and I. My step does
not seem to salt hers tonight,"
"No, I'ni afraid the fault was mine,"
protested Dallas, "I'm a little tired,
I think. May I sit here with you a
few minutes, Mrs. Bennett?" she add-
ed as Gibbs bore Cynthia away for
their dance.'
"You don't seem very fond of M.
Gibbs, Perry," observed Mrs. Bennett,
noting young Wainwright's scowl of
impotent wrath.
"Not fond enough to make me want
to live in the Same world with him.
:firs, Bennett, you're too pretty to be
just a chaperon. Come and dance this
twostep with me. Please do!"
He nodded with vast significance to-
ward Dallas and Bennett, and the lit-
tle old lady, catching the idea, accept-
ed with alacrity.
"I'm so glad even to get this minute
with you," began Alwyn when he and
Dallas were alone.. "It's so long
since"-
"Since'you came to see me? Yes, but
that is your fault. Alwyn, why haven't
you called since I came home?"
"Don't you know why, Dallas?"
"No..
"Are you certain you don't know?"
"I -I don't know absolutely," she fal-
tered. "Oh, there are so many things
I don't know absolutely!"
"What is one of them?"
"For one thing, you and I used to be
such good friends and" -
"That is past," said Alwyn firmly.
"There can be no talk of mere friend-
ship between you and me, Dallas, I
must be everything or nothing to you.
Tonight I can't speak as I want to,
but I can in a very few days. Trust
me till then.. You kn!pW; I am fighting
Mr. Wainwright's interests and"-
"Yekt" she replied bitterly. "My un-
cle gives me no chance to forget that"
"Don't think I'm fighting him for my
own amusement! I must oppose him
or else give up a fight that I set out to
win. And I mean to win it!"
"That's the same old fighting spirit
I used to try so hard to awaken in
9ou," said Dallas, a faint note of ad-
miration in her rich voice. "1 told you
once it always took a blow to arouse•
you. That blow has evidently been
struck."
"It has been struck!" he acquiesced,
with a sad ghost of a smile.
She saw the haggard lines about his
mouth, the tired look in his eyes, and
a lump came into her throat. She lean-
ed forward impulsively, but before she
could speak he • had unlmowingly
thrown away the golden moment by
continuing:
"I must win thisfight even though it
affects others besides Mr. Wainwright.
Even if" -
"What others do you mean?"
"Oh, I can't explain now. After Fri-
day I can. On Saturday may I come
to see you and tell you everything?"
"Why not now?"
"There are obstacles that" -
"Tell me what they are!" she begged.
"I can't All 1 can tell you now is
that I love you. I love you above all
the world, sweethehrt, and" -

gan and Wainwright intervened. 'I'he

it's up to you. Now jump!"
As Williams hastened toward the
door EIorrigan called after him:
"On your ivay out send word to Rob-
erts that 1 want to see him here. Well,
Wainwright," be resumed, turning
back into the room, "it looks bad."
"Do you think" -
"I think we're in a tight place. If
our aldermen found out about Ellis'
quitting, there's no knorting how many
of 'em would bolt. If we could only
work Bennett!"
"Out of the question. He can't be
,turned."
"There's no man. who can't be turn-
ed. I've one card up my sleeve yet
that ought to land him. But I'd rath-
er try something else first. I wish we
could get a line on his price."
"He can't be bought! He" -
"Rot! Everybody can he bought.
Only there's some that can't be bought
with cash. I'm wondering what there
is that'll buy him if money won't"
Gibbs, in search of an elusive part-
ner, crossed the foyer and paused to
greet them.
r'What news?" he asked.
Wainwright surveyed the broker's
well groomed figure with less approval
than usual.
"You seem to be industrious enough'
tonight," said be: "It's a pity some of
tonight's dancing energy couldn't have
been, devoted to your work this morn-
ing."
Gibbs flushed at the reproof in words
and tone.
"I don't understand," he replied
saltily.
"Why didn't you notify me of the
hig, block of Borough stock that was.
6ontat hp just before noon?"
"I hadn't heard about it," answered
Gibbs, with not quite all his custom-
ary assurance.
"Everybody else heard of it. You'll
have to keep better tabs on the market
than that if you're to be any use to us.
Do.you know who bought it?"
"No," returned Gibbs, with growing
uneasiness. "Of course I don't I3ow
should I know? What are you driv-
tug dt?" ",,
"This is what I'm driving at: Several
big blocks of the stock have been un-
loaded on the market during the past
t'ew days and have been quietly snap•
peri up. Somebody's evidently tailing
on to our game. You don't know
who,'
"i've told you twice that I didn't
!Mow," blustered Gibbs, masking his'
concern under a show of virtuous in -
'l ignition.
The effort called forth all the astute
. punb broker's nerve, for a certain
shrewd scheme of his showed signs of
falling through. 13y his original ar-
:'nngement with Wainwright he was to
have manipulated all the Borough

tried to make lnclliferent,
"Only because the deal will probably

",''all through!" cried 41.bbs, dismay-
ed, "What do you- Why, you told me
Mr. Ilorrigau could win over a four-

"Yes," drawled Horrigan, who had
been unobtrusively eying Gibbs from
the motnent of his entrance, "we had
some such notion, as you say. But my
'sola thirteen' didn't happen to be as
solid as he looked. He's bolted."
"Bolted! Then we -we will lose!
We" -
"Say, Mr. Gibbs." observed Horri-
ga n. "you seem to take this thing pret-
ty hard for a man with. only 20 per
cent at stake. Mr. Wainwright stands
to lose some millions. I'm interested
to the extent of almost a million. Yet
you don't see us getting pale and
shaky, do you? If a man can't pay for
the chips be has no right in a poker
game. Brace up and act like a man,
ean't you? We haven't lost yet. I've
sent after the fellow that bolted, and I
think I can land the fourteenth alder-
man too."
"Good!' exclaimed Gibbs in wild re-
lief. "And you'll do your very best to
pull the deal through, won't you?"
"No!" snarled Horrigan in elephan-
tine sarcasm. "I'm going to spend the
time playing pingpong and diabolo
with the kids or taking a course of les-
sons In fancy knitting. Oh, buck up,
can't you, and quit acting like a baby!
Judge Newman's out there on the other
side of the ballroom. Chase over and
tell him to come here."
Too confused to resent the boss'
tt'ords. Gibbs meekly set out on his er-
rtuld,
"That chap's got a streak of yellow a
yard wide," commented Horrigan, •gaz-
ing after him.
"Not as bad as that," replied Wain-
wright. "ale's young and not used to
reverses. You'll find he is game, all
right, when it comes to a pinch. What
did you want of Newman?"
- "You'll see. Here be comes."
"You wished to speak to me, Mr.
EIorrigan?•" piped the little judge, hur-
rying into the foyer. "Good evening,
Mr, Wainwright. \Vhat a success the
hall is! My daughters have been danc-
ing all evening. And Mrs. Newman
Is so"-
"Never mind Mrs. Newman just
now," broke in Horrigan. "There's
something important I avant you to do
for me."
He spoke, as be always did to New-
man, in the manner of one addressing
an incompetent servant. The judge,
for all his pomposity, deemed it wise
to ignore the politician's mode of .ad-
dress.
"I want you to hunt up Bennett,"
went on the boss, "and persuade him
to stop fighting the Borough franchise
bill. Tell him" -
"Oh," gasped the judge in genuine
alarm, "I really don't think I could pre-
sume to" -
"Yes, you can," contradicted Horri-
gan. "You can do it, and, what's more,
you will. You don'tt feel shy
about ask-
ing favors of me, and when it's the
other way around you've got to come

"I know! I know!" protested the
frightened little judge soothingly. "But
you don't understand how" -
"I got you the nomination last fall.

"I'll do what I can," assented the
judge. "I'm sure you are right, Mr.

"The Best Editorial Page In Canada"
The Toronto Daily Star publishes every day six columns of
editorials and editorial features—and there's not a dry line in the
six columns.
John Lewis, author of "The Life of John Brown" (Morang's
Series) has few equals in Canada. . -Ie is by many considered to be
second only to Goldwin Smith as a master of English.
Joseph T. Clark, known as "Mack" when he was editor
of "Saturday Night", is known throughout Canada as a keen, clever
and witty writer. His cables and letters on the British elections
from England, where he was sent by the Star, have attracted
wide attention.
Two things to be specially noted about all the Star's editorials
are first that they are always fair—no bitterness or biased partizanship
—and second that they are never dull, but deal in a bright way with
the subjects in which you and your neighbors are interested.
In a lighter vein are the "Chronicles of the Khan" -
delightfully humorous -pathetic studies from real life, particularly rural
life—"Uncle Walt's Corner" of clever poetry in prose — and
"A Little of Everything" -that you can always count on for a
pleasant ten minutes.
A regular reading of the Star's Editorial page will keep a man
informed on every topic of live interest to Canadians. Why not
subscribe now ?
