Because jerome has the call. Because
Jerome is honest. Because the gamb'
ling house proprietor must protect his
patrons from the disagreeable task OF
giving evidence against him as they can
be compelled to do.
jerome asked a police captain to serve
a subpoena on Honest John" Kelly,
famous as EOolroOm man, prize fight
~referee and faro dealer, The captain
couldn't find John. The captain has kept
a man for four months in front Of John
old house warning people against It,
while John was running his new house
two doors away, with hundreds Of peo-
of two police inspectors, and had MOI
been arrested in nine years. So Jerome
sent his own men up, and again issued a
simple Invitation" to Kelly TO come
and talk to him. Kelly went. While the
two talked Jerome's men broke into
Honest Johns place and captured the
tables, chips. etc.
Lou Ludlum's turn came next. The
gamblers began moving their stuff
over into New Jersey. "Shang' Draper,
an old-time associate Of burglars and
bad men. shut up his place. Business

The gamblers voted for Mayor Nc
Clellan in 1903 on the understanding
that there would be a quietly "wide-open
town. especially after election. No one
supposes, however. that Mayor McClel-
AN was personally a party to such a bar
gain. jerome is a democrat, but not a
Tammany man. His term is four years,
holding over from the Low administra-
ton. The chance that he would get a
new law from the legislature and actll-
ally work under it was the one thing
that Charley Murphy, the boss" of Tam
many Hall, couId-not control. All these
things will figure in the election this
fall.

dignity and a munificent compensation
are united. He has offered the post
master general the position of consul
ate general at London. This place is
now held by eX-Congressman and ex-
Pension Commissioner Henry Clay Ev-
ans, Of Tennessee. From the stand
point Of compensation it is the most
desirable berth in either the consular
or diplomatic service. While the sal
airy is but $4,000 a year, the consul gen.
eral receives in addition the notarial
fees of the office, which amount from
S12. 900 to ST., 900 a year. This makes
the pay of that official greater than the
salary of the American ambassador to
the court of St. James, which is but
SIT, 800 a year.
Some two years ago Mr.. Wynne "a
a newspaper correspondent in Wash
ington, but one of the best and most
widely known. He was selected by the
late Postmaster General Payne as first
assistant postmaster general, and upon
Mr.. Payne's death was promoted to be
head OF the department. The record of
Mr.. Wynne's life is an Illustration of
the possibilities before every energetic
and intelligent American boy. From
a messenger boy in a telegraph Office
to a seat in the cabinet Of the president
of the United States is almost as great
an achievement as was that of the late
James A. Garfield, who began life on
the tow path driving mules and died
president of the United States.

Bradshaw, as he warmed to his sub
ject, brought a little action into the
recital, and in doing so BETRAYED his
bruised and cut fingers.
Oh, your poor handsi" cried Edith
in horror. How did you hurt them

The tangled web we weave when first

to the poetic soul of Sir Walter Scott, and
the same great thought came into the
mind of William L. Bradshaw.

possession. But he was too strong for
me, and he wrenched it through my
hands / think it was one of those sticks

thorns. L have seen Irish immigrants

Edith drew in her breath with a little
hiss, as though she pictured the agony
of the moment, and looked at him with
undisguised admiration In fact every
one in the company regarded him as a
Paladln, none more sincerely than De-
tective-Inspector Brading.
1t so crippled my hands for the
moment went on Bradshaw, entering
into the spirit of the thing, that | could
not hold him. 1t was then that he got

So" said Edith severely, "you had
nothing to defend yourself with against
that dreadful stick-I know what they
are hke-and yet you ga1lantly tried to
stop him. Mr.. Bradshaw, l think" with
feminine disregard of proportion, you !

him.

Of approval 81 will be a man again in

He leaned over the basin with his
burning hands in the water and expert
enced a delicious sense of relief. In
reality. they were not nearly so badly
to suppose, and when Brading had fin
ished with him, covering the ugly cash
on his forehead with strip of plaster,
he looked comparatively respectable
again.
