into politics or something in which ne
might have occasion for his pitchfork.
He did finally touch just little upon
the dispensary and his former friend,
John l.. McLaurin," though very little
about the latter, saying, with laugh,
de mortuis nil nisi bonum." He said
McLaurin was dead, even II he DID
manage to get his many speeches these
days in the newspapers.
But speaking Of the present move

said, think they smell! fire whenever

crowd laughed boisterously when he
explained the difference between the
two movements, saying "tnat other
movements years ago was quiet dif1er-

got to clean this thing. If necessary put
it in a pot and scald it. If we can I

At one of the clubs one evening Mr.
Montagu Williams met Lord 49,, who
had Just lost his father The young
lord was naturally melancholy. and
the lawyer proposed visiting theater
opposite, which proposition was az
cepted. There was slight fire in the
theater, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt like rabbit, ;"
out of the building. Returning leisure
ly to the Grub. Mr.. Williams found
there his young friend quietly smok-
ing cigar.
sWhat on earth made you bolt that
way? Yor seemed frightened out Of
your wits (not difficult matter. per-

an occasion if everybody got up and
rushed out a panic would ensue, with
very likely fatal consequences? Why
on earth couldn't you sit still, as | DID?
There was nothing serious the mat
ter. Upon this, with the most pat
ronizing air. the young gentleman re-
piled. "Oh. yes, that's very wen for
you. but you've not just succeeded to
a peerage and 100000 year.

It was good to be back in the club
house, good to receive the smiling
greetings of the ebony servitors in the
halls and the cloaSroom, good to hear
the clink of glasses and the shouts Of
laughter from a distant cardroom.
So thought Dick Dean as he paused
in the reading room and gazed with
satisfaction at the rich furnishings in
the mellow lamplight. His trip abroad
had done him a world of good. He was
ready to take up the old life with new
vigor Suddenly the light died out Of
his face. Who was that speaking?
Whiteleaf? Yes, that was Whiteleaf.
the banker.
"Jonas Ncrden will be the next may
or of this city. gentlemen. He was
promised it last fall, and today the d.
rectors of The Daily Times voted to
support him as the candidate In the
coming caucus"
Dean stood motionless his eyes fixed
Oh the curtained doorway leading into
a small committee room, an ominous
light flashing from his deepset eyes.
Whiteleaf was the acknowledged party
boss.
"That will be merry music for Dean
to hear when he lands remarked a
second speaker. "He told me just be-
fore he sailed that you had promised
him your support during the coming
campaign

or pink string promise. He'll land an
Office some day. He's young"
Eyes but suppose the buzzing bee de-

The curtains parted, and Dean stood
before the astonished politicians.
"He does demand it. gentlemen.
am here to exact of Mr.. Whiteleaf the
fufillment Of that promise-pin
strings or no pink strings!D
Whiteleaf was the first of the quar-
tet to recover his composure. He was
mentally calculating just how much Of
the conversation Dean had heard
"Glad to see you, Dick. Didn't look
for YOU before the middle Of the
month. What will you haveT
Nothing replied Dean, ignoring the
outstretched hand, until you have ex.
planned the meaning Of the speech
unfortunately overheard"
Come, come, my boy, don't be hot
headed. You have had enough expert
euce in wirepuIling to know that all ii

"a promise given and received IN
good faith should stand in love. war o.
politics. When withdrew from this
nomination in favor Of Jenkins two
years ago. you gave me promise. d.
you intend to redeem it?r

young man and glanced uneasily at hi
colleagues.
