 Caldwell disliked the idea. You teil him about it, he insisted.
 "Now YOU know Tandry," urged the editor. He's as suspicious as a JeaI- ous woman. He's sure to tnlnk aIIl trying to bleed him little on my own account. Coming from you, he'll see the necessity of coughing up at once' Write 1t out"
 After several trials. the alderman iri- dited the following and handed It eo Cuvier:
 All eise n K. Caldwell" "I don't think there's any danser tn that" he said, "and Tandry will un- derstand it?"
 "sure he will" replied CuvIer. and as the door closed behind Caldwell the editor muttered: What TOOL lie handed over that piece of paper like he was giving me a match. And it's enough to send him to the pen. What a peach of a liar I must be. sNow that I've got 1t, what am I going to do with it?" he thought l "Give it to Tandrv? Not Jimmy.

 | Mrs Tandry's condition was inprov. ed Monday morning and Cuyler had not been at his work long when the old merchant entered, took his seat on the desk and drew his pocket knife

John Murray aint no better in my opinion. He just manages to hide hls rascality."
 Tandry paused in his soliloquy and no sound was heard except the screech of the knife blade as It went In and out as he listened to the harangue and gazed with disgust on the old mer- chant.
 Just write up q little piece for this evenings paper and say the people of Buryport know the Murray pedigree and that when IL comes 70 talkln hDout graft some one else ought to do the spoutin'."
 Tandry started for the door.

 "Won't?" repeated the merchant. as he came back.
 No" said Cuyler firmly. Attack the father of his sweetheart, a man whom he knew to be upright and sim cere? Never In the world! Tandry could fire him if he wanted to. f Why not?" inquired the merchant as he leaned on the desk.
 Because Murray's on the level. and this deal Is crooked. That's why"

 Hughes was elected mayor by large majority. The city council was controlled by the 'Progressives, At the first meeting of the newly-chosen body it was made plain that Buryports yawn was not the prelude to another nan The towns finances were in ex- ceilent condition. Taxes were low and surplus reposed in the city treasury. Graveled streets, paved sidewalks, storm and sanitary sewerage were pro- posed, and ordinances for their con- struction introduced. And the Bury port electorate applauded.
 A month after the inauguration of the Hughes administration, Caldwell launched his municipal ownership bark upon the turbid waters of the city council The bill provided for a bond issue of S650,O00, and the purchase or the Tandry plants. now nearing com pletion.
