CHAPTER XVIII.
PER the maniac fury that
j } Mazed from Thompson's eyes
| j Walnwright shrank back in
panic dread.
"He's?he's mad!" cried the financier.
"Don't let him at me!"
For Thompson seemed about to burl
himself on his foe.
"Go easy, son," adjured Phelau, layIn*
a restraining hand on ihe secretary's
shoulder.
The latter, recalled to himself by the
pressure, reinxeu ms n-usr. imuauu^
attitude nxid. with hysterical revulsion
of feeling, sank Into a chair, burying
Mw face in bio arms on the table before
him.
"Nine horrible years!" he sobbed brokenly.
"Niue awiui years of slavery,
rof debaseuieut! Watching, hating,
longing fo crush biai. and. oh. the time
has come, thank t?od! Thank clod!"
"You're all in. lad!" muttered Pbclan,
passing an arm about the shaking
youth and lifting him to his feet.
"Come with me. I'll send out and get
yon a bracer."
Thompson, exhausted by bis emo^
tlons, obeyed mechanically, but at the
farther door paused for a moment and
again fixed his wild, bloodshot eyes on
iWainwright's haggard face. >
"Remember," he threatened, his
i roice dead and expressionless, "when
you get out of Jail I'll be waiting for
you. And as sure as God's justice lives
111 kill you as I'd kill a dog! Nine
i years waiting and?I'll murder you as

Phelan bad forced bim over the
I threshold, aud tbc slamming of the
^ dooir behind the two seemed to break
I the strange spell that bad fallen on all.
B Wainwright straigutened himself.
glanced fearfully about, tried to re
gain bis shaken composure and opened
I his mouth to speak. But tbe hurried
f entrance of Williams prevented him.
"Mr. Horrlgan," gasped the excited
I newcomer, "I've been lookiDg everywhere
for you!"
"What's wrong now?" snapped the
^ hoes. "Has"?
"The Borough bill's come up at la9t,

"Call In the poilvV. tlien!" ordered
Horrlgan. "Now's the time for them."
"I don't dare." protested Williams.
' "Those men In the gallery are desi>erate.
They're dangerous. If'?
"* *.Tbe police?" interrupted Bennett
sMrply. "What are you talkiug
v^bont?"
f "My orders!" returned Horrigan. "I
aent for them. Tell them to"?
"Don't do it!" commanded Bennett in
^ anger.
M $'Do as 1 say. Williams!" counterH
nded Horrigan. "Have them in
H ^lelan," interi>osed Bennett as the
M man, having left Thompson in oth
fuds, came Ir.'rcTthe room, "go to
Sergeant in charge of the police

he must keep his men where they are
^ and take no orders except from me.
I Understand?'
[) "I sure dor' grinned Pbelan, with a
t delighted grin at the wrathful norri
gan.. "An' I'll see they"?
B "You need not trouble!" croaked
B| Wainwrigbt, his throat dry and conH
stricted with fear. "The bill Is with
drawn!"
i "That goes!" corroborated Horrigan.
"Do you hear that. Williams? .Mr.
Walnwright withdraws the Borough
1 ir^ciin i il to it in a rush, man. Never
about the police."
"Well, Friend Horrigan," blandly ob
served Phelan as Williams hastened

H dynamite under you some day. LikeH

"What had yon to"?

"Yes." retorted Alwyu. "You shall
receive exactly the same mercy you
have always shown to your own financlal
enemies?no more, no less."
"Oh. cut out the whine. Waini
wright!" sneered Horrigan in high contempt
as he linked his arm in the
j broken financier's and hauled him
roughly from the room. "What's happened
to your nerve? You're almost
as bad as Gihbs. You're still rich, and
! as long as you've got plenty of cash no
i law in America need ever bother you.
There's lots of talk about iudictmcnts,
j and arrests, and investigations, and i
, prosecutions, and all that sort of rot. j
But I don't see any millionaires going I
! to jail. Come on across to rnv law;
yer's."
! The boss and financier departed with-1
out a backward look, leaving Phelan !
! and Bennett alone on the late scene of i
! battle.
"Say, your honor." observed the alderman
slyly, "there's one rery important
engagement you've clean forgot.

I'll send the party in here and see that

Now that the crisis was past, his

memory. Their brutal, bald truth

in the inevitable

A visitor to one of the hotels at
Carlsbad, Germany, tells the story
a gentleman to whom the servants
and the proprietor paid the most
profound atttentions. He was royally
treated, rather to the neglect of
the rest of the guests.
Every time he came out of the
hotel door a strip of green carpet!
would be rolled down in front of I
liirn, and the attendants would take j
off their cans and bow in the most!
deferential and obsequious manner. :
Neither the visitor thus so strangely j
honored nor the other guests could
make out what this deference meant.
At last someone looked in the
printed legister, or Kurqaslc Liste.
There was the entry:
"James the 1st. King of Buffalo,
NY."
It was the native printer's rendering
of the American's name?
James I King, Buffalo, N Y.
