through the window and see the snow
flying from the darkness on one side
of the electric light to the darkness
on the other side of it, and could hear
the telegraph wires singing in the
wind. 49,
For some time we had been devot-
ing considerable space to the move
ments OF the Anarchists and Social
lists. If the police didn't know of
their doings, we did, and took frequent
occasion to brag of it in our own
columns. So when had looked over
that mornings papers my heart gave
a jump at the discovery that ours
was the only one that hadn't an &C.
count of what we should have con-
sidered q most sensational move on
the part of the no-law cranks.
When Tom Herrick came in asked
him if he wanted the Sixth.
"Why," he said, Thought old man
Derringer was working that"
."rhe Majors dropped him." said.
"What the devil for?' asked Herrick.
t'He let us get beaten on that
Anarchist meeting last night"
"He did! Why, I put him onto that
myself, and he thanked me-"
'"That's funny" said, che told
me he wasn't there, but was chasing
another item" .s..->., -
"Well, wsll," exclaimed Herrick, che
was tickled to death when T gave him
the tip, and started right for the meet
ing" -
Herrick came in later in the evening
and was warming his hands at the
radiator near me when he said:
z II can't get over Derry's not having
q story in about that Anarchist meet
ing"
"Oh, I don't know" I said, che had
On item in about rescuing q newsboy
from the clutches Of q drunken Alder
man, and / guess that happened about
the time of the meeting. If it was q
choice between that kind of q fracas
and writing up those Hungarians, you
know what he'd dol" s.
tHelp out the newsboys Sure. But
/ met Williams about an hour ago,
and he said Derringer was at the meet
ing: ...<.:.
hWell, didn't know what to make
of this, and it bothered me all the
next day. ... -. +:
Late in the afternoon went
through the snow to the Press Club
to pass the few hours that lay be-
tween then and seven o o'clock, when /
went on again. / met Derringer on
the stairs. He said he wanted to
talk to me and went back to the club
rooms with me.
q We pulled couple of big chairs
close together by the gaping, glowing
fireplace, and sat there looking at
the Goals several minutes, till I
said: ~: !. 4s5zEs. .-
How'd you come to miss it, any
way, Derry?o !. ..s-.T. Ia S;.2s ..s
81 don't know" he said, ''that
young kid and the Alderman took up
a good deal of time" Idisliked to
tell him what Herrick told me the
Press Association man said, for Der
ringer is sensitive, and / knew he
would resent my questioning
him too closely. So I re.
marked that it was hard
luck all round and asked what he
wished to see me about.
An item, !" said he; I've an item
particularly big, for the Major" He
meant Mcbride, proprietor OF the pa
per. y :55..
HI don't believe he'll take it from
YOU I remarked, che was too angry
about that beat to talk sense whom
i saw him last. !"
Dsrringer smiled q little at this, and
said, Well, that what / wanted TO
see you about; he'd buy II Of you. '

fellow. e
The fox-like Telegraph editor looked
up with q sharp smile from under his
green shade. Excuse me for putting
