beholding no sis when the elevator came

Jack shut the window with bang and
was soon in hot pursuit, for at that mo-
ment they heard the door open and shut
and cautious steps, which they knew only
too well, and Kitty went tearing upstairs
with reckless speed. It was SO provoking.
for just as the boys reached the. door OF

Mayor Sullivan must have felt pretty
badly after the throw down he and his
friends got in the democratic convenA
ton In Hartford Tuesday night. He
is talking pretty plainly and pretty
openly aboHt the meeting, and If all he
says is true the old-liners must have
tapped barrel to defeat the Economic
league men. Perhaps the mayor was
unduIy excited when he gave his talk
to the reporters, and things may not
be quite as bad as he imagines. At
any rate we would advise the mayor
to keep a cool head on his shoulders
and he viii win more battles. Money
is used freely in politics, nearly every
one admits, and one of the duties of the
league is to prevent this expenditure
Of money and purify politics The
mayor may have been beaten Tuesday
night but perhaps after the people
have their say things will be different.
Remember the old saying, Mr. Mayor,
that he laughs best who laughs last
