of grief. Young man err North's tai
ems THROWN shelf away ike thish!
Tur'blc warmth, young mHn. Drink
did it. Dye hear? Steady there, now,
steady! Hoorny! Here we go!"
Mr.. Wymcr'S mood became slightly
hilarious at this point, and, catching
his hat in his hand, he swung it glcc-
fully around his head while he CON
tinucd to cheer uproariously.
This was beyond endurance. Halt
ing sharply, North had just turned to
signal policeman half IL square dis
tant, who, with that characterization to
active duty that seemed to pcrvade the
whole loeal force, had been witnessing
this scene without any thought, APP
parrntly, beyond his own idle amuse-
mrnt, when two young men, passing on
the opposite side of the street, caught
sight of Wymrr OWNED the state of
affairs, and came hurrying up to inter
fUrc.
They took forI'ihlc possession of Mr..
Wymrr, notwithstanding his manful re-
Sistcncr, and 10y their united powers OF
command and persuasion succeeded in
leading him away.
North and his now friend watched
the interesting trio until they turAcd Il
corner and Disappeared, then they con,
tinurd their own walk down the street
MIR. Wymcr's friends were evidently
| lis"on"vrtrl ON failing That he WAS
| making such Il spectacle of himSrlf,'
remarked North, as he recalled Tho
| chances of chagrin that the young rlcr
had exchanged.
"Why, yes; they sec that he is ruin
| ing his chances for election. Every
ono in N-knows that in TX WymAr is
n dissipatcd follow, but this Is the first
time for weeks that he has been seen OF
tho streets elevated in tho daytime
| They have kept u close watch over hin

| they're n hard lot, that whole 'LabO
| Party MS they call thCmsclvC.5-a hare
lot!' added North's companion, Shaking
his head obviously. "Of course. ole
| Wymcr's money is the backbone of tn,
concern; everyone knows that he go
up this movement just to foist hi
promising son into Office. Couldn't rul
on any regular ticket, you see. Work
ingman's friends, indeed! Why, th
party leaders are nothing in the wOrlc
but set of worthless dcmagOguc
without thimblcful of brains among
them; and us to all their fine talk abou
being the poor mans friends an,
looking out for tho interests o
labor versus capital, it's just SO mucI
trash and twaddlc! can't see that tn
movement is making any Roadway q
all; can your
"Wcll, it is difficult to judge" re
turned North, with the wise non-com
initial air cminently becoming his ig
norance on the subject "These thing
often turn out in q very uncxpecte
way, you know. In fact, it may be sal
prominently of politics, that it is a
ways the unexpected that happens
We never con tell, until the decisive da
comes, with what skill our opponent
have been massing their forces"
las to that" returned the other, wit
n laugh, "Wymer's party haven't an
forces to mass. Oh, of course the
mako some show; but with the bette
elements of the other parties consol
idated in this Independent ticket, IN
drawn up in u sort of invincible phalan
against them, they ought to know tina
this municipal fight will prove thci
Waterloo. Still, old Wymcr's none
has done a good many queer things,
all reports are true; and it may possibl
| get Jack into office"
A sudden turn right here brough
