dance at the end of a rope!" shouted
brawny man with determined face. I'm

Then some one asked who was the most
Infamous man alive. There was one
unanimous answer. no one appearing to
have other than ore choice. Then, as
Jay Gould was not in the building to
bring out his returns, either raw or cook
ed, the great crowd moved away.
