vas little that was impressive in the
personnel Of the municipal Solons,
nor was their gathering marked by
dignity. 1t is a sad reflection that the
average city council is fairly repre-
sentative of it's constituents. It is the
mirror of urban ignorance, deceit and
cupidity; of the varying grades of
venality, relieved by a sprinkling of
upright but too often impractical
men. Righteousness enactments are
wrune from such bodies only by fear
of public indignation. and corrupt
measures go down to defeat only when
detection and punishment faces the
Iurchasable majority.
John Burt and John Hawkins looked
down on this motley crowd of civic
Craftsmanship.
Various minor matters had been de-
lated and decided when the chairman
announced that the hour set for the

Jessie yielded TO this miserable en-

Garden entered the room and relieved
an awkward situation. Jessie took
small part in the conversation as the
carriage rolled down the avenue, but
Morris chatted gaily with Edith Han

but Jessie noticed that he studiously
ignored General Garden.

the old man. Only I'll promise not to
swear again in his presence.
They talked for hours. and Haw-
lrs listened with interest to the dis
closures made by Sam Rounds con-
corning the Cosmopolitan Improve
ment Company
A messenger arrived with sealed
letter from the alderman informing
John Burt that the bribery money had
teen paid over or deposited. With the
seven aldermen supposed to be pur-
chased, Morris estimated majority
of four in favor of his new franchises.
He was SO sure of speculative sue
cess that he had fixed the dinner
party to General Garden, Jessie, Edith
and Blake for Tuesday evening-the
date of the council session when his
ordinances would come up for final
action. The news of his triumph
should come to him while he was rev

pleasure inspired Morris with new
idea.
The dinner should celebrate his for.
nal engagement to Jessie Garden!
The more he pondered over this bril-.
liant coup the more enhancing did it
seem.
His carriage drew up at the Bishop
residence an hour before the time

patience for Jessie, and was ELUSIVE
in his greeting when she entered the
drawing-room.

Norris she said releasing her hand.
Il have something to say to you, to
ask you, Jessie. Are we likely to be
disturbed hereT
Il think not. What weighty secret
have you to disclose, Mr. Morris?
Pray be seated
The great house was silent, and the
yellow light of the setting sun flooded
toe room. Jessie was superb as she
calmly awaited the declaration her in
tuition told her was forthcoming. She
could not find in her heart the slight
est feeling of pity or sympathy for
Arthur Morris.

West to the seventh police precinct. located
in Georgetown and commanded by Lieut.

to Maj. Sylvester by the commander of

his fitness and worth, splendid discipline
