complishments on election day.
Then the brewer who had backed
the saloon since the beginning Of Ben
McGraw's reign sent word that Dinny
would have to look out for himself in
the future, and the iceman annoyed
him with the statement that he could
have no more crystal cubes from the
Laketon Company, and when he told
them to sit on the Ice till he asked for

found them consumed with inertia,

Of Dinny. sitting cross.legged on tho
floor Of nm express wagon across the
way. He also saw his son among the

noted that the heir of his house was ju.

Herr Spieshoffer standing across the
street, reading the sign:

alderman, whose affabllity and brogue
both became exaggerated as he grew

"And It's proud and pleased I'll be to

had been taken away in cab by some
Of his dashing young friends, the bench

they wrought their will with the place.

"You can't do II while I'm running

a great show Of loyalty to his friends.
The alderman's son made no reply, but
he was more pacific In his Intercourse
with Dinny. He seemed to think this
was man to cultivate--or remove.
Through the window Dlnny saw Mary
Carnahan go by; and she looked at him.
but did not bow or smile.
In spite of the consolation It give him
to plant the seeds Of dlssenslon be-
tween father AMI son. Dinny's cup of
trouble was very nearly full. He could
only buy Ice by sending an express
wagon--and the money-after It.
Though he never defaulted payment,
he was refused credit at tho cigar

formed him they understood he was
against the alderman.
That functlonary came In one after
noon and asked Dlnny what he had
done to help Spleshoffer on the 'com-

"Not turn" was the defiant reply.
That evening a new policeman came

Dinny II he didn't quit running dis.
