once he disappeared, and since then no
one has seemed to care enough about
him to ask what has become Of him.
His party haven't treated him right,
after all the work he's done for them.
If they had done the square thing by
him he would have been in the common
council by this time. Not that anyone
wants him there, particularly, only that
would have been the shortest way to
discharge certain political debts. Now
see here, North,..' and Col. Clipper turned
to his desk and commenced q hasty
search among the loosely scattering
manuscripts there, here's an article
that wish you'd glance over. It's q
review Of Detwiller's official career, and
it cuts him up pretty badly. What |
want is for you to tell me If there is
anything in the way it's expressed that
would make me liable to an action
your opinion as a lawyer, you know"
North nodded comprehendingly as he
took the manuscript from Clipper,
while the latter, tipped back in chair
at perilous angle, with his shoulders
squared pugnaciously and his thumbs
thrust into the armholes OF his vest.
looked on in grave but eager silence.
The article was written in Clippers
happiest vein, sharp as lightning.
bristling with classical illusions, but
perfectly INSCRIPTIONS in its attack
upon the character, reputation and
public career of the unhappy Detwiller.
North noted with considerable degree
of professional appreciation how skill
fully the writer kept within the letter
of the law while he ruthlessly trans:
crossed the spirit. ..,,g,-.g, 80 .--~
Returning the manuscript to the
colonel after . careful examination,
coupled with mental review of the
law of libel, North said, with laugh:
"That will do, Clipper. You are safe
so far as legal action is concerned, but
if you are liable to meet Detwiller you
would better provide yourself with
some efficient weapon Of defense. This
article is enough to incite even an or
dinarily peaceful man to war and blood
she'd"
"Oh, I can handle Detwiller, or
dozen like him!' returned the hand
some colonel, valiantly. ''Knew my
toad, you see! But suit at law is a
different thing. I'm glad to have your
opinion of this, because don't want to
get any new libel suits on my hands
until l get few of the old lot worked
off, and Detwiller's vindictive fellow.
He would bring an action in very short
time if he found it could be sustained.
I'll bring this out in Mondays issue
and we'll see if it doesn't make a stir in
the camp. There'll be more artistic
profanity in Detwiller's vicinity than
has been heard there for many day."
A somewhat urgent call for Col. Clip
per at this point interrupted their con-
versation, and North embraced the op-
portunity to bow himself out OF the
editorial presence.

quired North, who might have sus-
pected his indignant assailant's identi-
ty by this time, If he had not been too
greatly annoyed to think clearly about
that question.
"Eh? What am talking about?' de-
manded the old gentleman glaring
wrathfully from beneath a pair of shay
gy eyebrows as he rendered this free
translation of North's words. ''Wall, if

Here, STRIP and Juggling furiously at the
inner pocket of his coat, he drew forth

which he thrust defantly at North;

Times building. what facile quill
he Yields! / dare say he doesn't exag-
gerate Noll's popularity in the least.
Noll is just the sort Of fellow to take
everyone by storm, and l have already
had abundant evidence of the devo-
ton that is showered upon him here
in X; q devotion of which am
just now the unworthy recipient-the
lightning rod toward which run all the
currents of electricity with which the
political atmosphere is overcharged.
The bright sunlight of popular favor is
somewhat dazzling to my unaccus-
toned eyes; no wonder that so many
public men, after basking for long
time in it's rays, become SO defective in
their visual organs that they cannot tell
black from white or right from wrong"
With these rambling reflections North
pursued his way to the Times building,
a large and pretcntious granite struc-
ture on one of the principal business
streets, and but few blocks from the
Clement house. - .,gy% Il a.
AS North approached he saw group
of gentlemen standing on the steps OF
the building, engaged in a heated and
informal debate on some political ques-
ton. :. It was evident from their vehe-
ment and threatening gestures, their
reckless and extravaganza expressions
and the unceremonious freedom with
which contradictions and epithet We're
passed to and fro, that there were some
decided differences of opinion in course
of ventilation; and, as North passed
calmly through the excited crowd with
a gracious acknowledgement of their
salutaticns, he said to himself:
'sThe excitement is evidently run
ming high. I am fortunate to be out of
the active canvass. Verify, there is no
one so calm, so peaceful, so undisturbed
as the blameless politician who places
himself and is contented to remain in
that haven of security, the hands of his
friends!''

North with so plain suggestion in his
expectant face that the latter immedi-

Finding himself in wide, handsome
ly tiled corridor with sphinx-like office
doors on either side which gave no clew
to what lay beyond their ground-glass
panels, North was somewhat in doubt
which way to. turn; but suddenly the
door directly facing the elevator was
opened and very tall, portly, hand
some man appeared on the threshold,
with a rather less impressive-looking
individual, whom he was with much
gracious Misunderstanding and fraternal
patting on the shoulder dismissing
from his presence.
At sight of North these parting cour-
tesies were abruptly suspended.

swell, good day, Clipper; I'll see you
again tomorrow" said TIE departing
caller; and, while he made rush for the
elevator, Col. Clipper, having trans
ferred his Misunderstanding to North, drew
him into his private office and closed
the door.
''Been out prospecting to-day?' the
colonel inquired, seating himself on the
edge of his desk, having first, by a wave
of his hand, proffered North one of the
handsome leather-cushioned chairs.
ssNo, I've been very much taken up
with some professional matters, and
have scarcely had time to give thought
to the election" returned North, calm
ly, feeling this stately and impressive
editor to be rather the most formidable
person he had yet encountered.

are in those wards, but the prohibition

one of their men got so awfully tight,
and think we may safely count on

He started up and paced to and fro
for several moments. In that brief
time he seemed completely transformed,
there was such forceful emotion, such
passion and longing in his rapidly
changing countenance.
But he was resolutely fighting against
this mood, having sworn long ago that
he would never yield to such weakness;
and at last he conquered himself,
though it was with sternly-set lips and
few hard lines in his brow.
Resolutely forcing his thoughts from
the bitter past to the present and fu-

and wrote briefly the results of his first
twenty.four hours in Y; then, hav-

Archer, who was contemplating him
with evident Impotence, yet with IN
air of consciously possessing all the ad
vantage, North began suavely:
II promise you, Mr.. Archer, that this
little matter shall be attended to rs
quickly as possible"
'.Now, sir, now!' interrupted Mr..
Archer excitedly. :.'It's got to be
settled inside of ten minutes or I'll sue
you for the hull amount! You've put
me off dozen times if you've done it
once, with that same smooth promise,
and I've waited and waited as civil as a
gentleman all this time, while my own
creditors are pushing me to the wall.
And what with my waiting and your
getting so airy that you can't see me
on the street, but pass me by dozen
times day without speaking''-North
glanced sharply at Mr.. Archer, and sud-
denly realized that he had frequently
seen him during the past few days-''I
begin to feel mighty shaky, and the
sooner see my money the better salts
fed I'll be. Now, sir, this notes got to
be paid, and paid inside of ten minutes.
That's my determination. and there'll
be no back down on it, either"
1t required all the tact that North
possessed, as well as a recollection of
Mr.. Archer's undoubted provocation, to
enable him to control himself under the
evaporation caused by this scene; but
he contrived to say calmly enough,
though with considerable sharpness
mingled with the remonstrance:
"Reallv, sir, you must be more
reasonable about this matter. 1t is
simply impossible for me to settle this
claim on ten minutes notice. l shall
be obliged to telegraph for the money,
and that will necessitate a delay of pos
sibly several hours. You really must
wait, SIR"
'And haven't told you plain enough
that won't waltz" retorted Mr.. Archer,
belllgerently waving his hand. 'I'm
done with triflin'. If you haven't got
the money right by you, sir, you don't
need to telegraph to Californy or the
dear knows where, to get it. You can
borrow it off some of your friends right
here in town as easy as turnin' over
your hand, and you'd better do it
mighty sudden!'
''Some of my friends" thought North,
in despair, as he cast another specula-
tive glance up and down the street.
Heavens! what situation--dunned
on the public highway in this belliger-
ent manner! How could Noll have been
50 negligent? But then, it's just like
him-'an unpardonably careless fellow
in money matters as Wee said. Some
of my friends to whom can apply?
Clipper? No, he's an editor; it would
be setting aside all the traditions of the
craft to assume that he has any idle
cash. Warner? I have no means of
estimating his financial basis; he might
be millionaire or a church mouse, for
anything that his appearance indicates.
Wee? 1t is the widest nonsense to
think of him! Col. Dayton is forever
growing about the hard times; / heard
him saying only this morning that it
was as much as he could do to keep his
head above water. To be sure, it would
be simply a loan, to be repaid as soon
as I can receive a telegraphic check
