If we can.”
“You’re sure it's Roberts?” asked
Bennett in the same undertone.
The administration ball was in full
swing. Mayor and alderman had
chanced to meet for a moment In a big,
crowded reception foyer just off the
ba broom.
“Am I sure it’s Roberts?” echoed
Phelan. “Am I sure? Might as well
ask me am I sure Chesty Dick Horri-
gnn is crooked. I’ve got the facts down
straight. Them secret service chaps of

“If they get Roberts they will be

disgust. “Do I look it? It’s bad

There's the music startin’, son,” he
added to Perry as he started for the
barroom.
“I heard it,” said the lad, “but I’m
In no wild hurry.”
‘Thought you said you had a part

“I have—one of Judge Newman's
daughters. Ever see her? I thought
not or you wouldn't have wondered
why I wasn't :«» u hurry. Better late

“Are you having a good time, moth
er? - ’ Bennett was asking the little old
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
together.
“You aren’t having a good time, Ai-
wyn,” she contradicted gently. “You’re
unhappy about something. Tell me.”
“Nonsense!” he denied, with a forced
laugh. “I”—
“You are thinking of Dallas, my boy.
Is anything wrong l*etween you and
her? What has happened?”
“Nothing.” he answered sullenly.
But the mother was not content. Her
heart ached for the grief her son was
trying to hide.
“Something lias happened, Alwyn,”
•ho declared, “and I want to know
what, so that I can help you. You love
her. And that day she came back from
Europe I felt sure she loved you. What
Is holding you two apart?”
“Nothing that can be helped.”
“But you never go to see her or”—
“How can I? You know ipy attitude
toward her uncle. How can 1 call on
her while she is in his house? I ex
posed bis relations toward the Borough

After that I can go to her aud make it
all clear.”
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. “If one
twostep’s good, two twosteps are twice
as good. Please’’—
“But see,” expostulated Cynthia,
showing him her card. “The next is
Mr. Gibbs’. I’ve told you that twice.”
“I wish Gibbs all the lyck in the
world,” observed Perry benevolently,
as lie deposited Cynthia on a fauteuil
beside her chaperon, Mrs. Bennett. “I
wish him so much good luck that if
he'd slip and break both his legs I’d
pay for a cab to take him home.”
“I ook out. please!” begged Cynthia.
“He s coming.”
“The next is ours, I think. Miss Gar
rison,” said Gibbs, entering from the
1 ballroom with Dallas on bis arm. “I
hope we'll have better fortune than
Miss Wainwright and I. My step does
not seem to suit hers tonight.”
“No, I’m afraid the fault was mine,"
protested Dallas. “Pm 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
I their dance.
“You don’t seem very fond of Mr.
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.
Mrs. Bennett, you’re too pretty to lie
just a chap ron. 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 tiie 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-
son. and then— Hello!” he broke off
as a swarthy middle aged man hurried
in. “Looking for me, Williams? What’s
up?"
The newcomer was visibly excited,
and at first glance Horrigan had seen
that something was amiss.
"What’s up?” repeated the boss.
“Ellis has gone—deserted!” cried Wil
liams.
“Ellis!” echoed Wainwright in dis
may, for the man of whom Williams
spoke was one of the aldermanic “solid
thirteen” on whom Horrigan counted.
The boss made no comment, but wait
ed impatiently for his henchman to
continue.
“Ellis has gone,” repeated Williams.
“He left a note for me saying his wife
tlirough!” cried Gibbs, dismay
ed. “What do you— Why, you told me
Mr. Horrigan could win over a four
teenth alderman, and that with his
solid thirteen”—
“Yes,” drawled Horrigan, who had
been unobtrusively eying Gibbs from
the moment of his entrance, "we had
some such notion, as you say. But my
‘solid thirteen’ didn’t happen to be as
solid as he looked. He’s bolted.”
“Bolted! Then we—we will lose!

“Say, Mr. Gibbs,” observed Horri
gan. “you seem to take this thing pret

As Williams hastened toward the ,

back into the room, “it looks bad.”

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’
words, Gibbs meekly set out on his er
rand.
"That chap's got a streak of yellow a
yard wide.” commented Horrigan, gaz
ing after him.
“Not as bad as that,” replied Wain-1
wright. “He'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 conies.”
“Y'ou wished to speak to me, Mr.

rying into tin- foyer. “Good evening,

“Never mind Mrs. Newman just

“That’s the same old fighting spirit

“It has been struck!" lie acquiesced.
“Rot! Everybody can be bought.

to ignore the politician’s mode of ad

"Yes. Good evening. Roberts," re

The financier took the hint and walk
ed toward the ballroom, on his way out
nearly colliding with Phelan, who was
entering the foyer. At sight of Horri
gan and Roberts together Phelan's
eyebrows went upward, with a jerk,
and lie tiptoed out in the opposite di
rection as fast as his stout legs could
carry him in search of Bennett. .Mean
time Horrigan had come directly to the
point, as usual, in his appeal to Rob
erts.
“Look here, alderman.” said he,
“you’ve been trying for years to get
through a park bill for your ward.
Still want it?”
“Yes,” returned Roberts. “My con- ,
stituents are at me all the time about
that park. They”—
"It would make your ward's property
values go up GO per cent, aud it would
make you solid there forever, hey?”
“Yes, but”—
“Introduce that bill again, and I’ll
guarantee it will go through.”
“Are you in earnest?”
“There's my hand on it. Only, of
course, it’s understood that your park
bill won’t come up until after the Bor-
: ough Street railway franchise is pass-
! ed. Understand?”
‘Tin afraid I do,” said Roberts after
a pause, “but I voted against that bill,
and”—
“You voted against the bill in Its
original form,” Horrigan interrupted
reassuringly, “and you were right, too.
It had a lot of clauses that you thought
weren’t square. But ai! those have
been cut out.”
“But I still”—
“But you’ll be doing what’s best for
your own constituents by looking aft
er their interests in the matter of the
park. You'll be tln-ir hero for that. Of
course if I wanted to put it another
way I could remiud you that your
bill when you see it’s been amended
so as to be a good thing for the city.
That's being honest, isn't it?”
“I—I suppose so. And the notes—

“They'll be sent you by registered

, “Y-yes. That is. I”-
"That’s settled, then. You’ve got ft

Tlie boss stroil-• out. a grim smile of
. victory on his big face, leaving Rob-
I erts standing confused, doubtful, his
brain awliirl. How long the tempted
'alderman stood thus—oblivious to the
music, his surroundings and ail else—
he could never remember, but a voice
at bis elbow brought him to his senses
i with a start that was followed by a
thrill of fear as he wheeled and recog
nized the speaker.
