CHAPTER XIV.
THE first committee room that
lay to the right Of Horrigan's
office-in the same relation to ii


4 as the antechamber to the left
was usually given over to dry Off
:ial business, and its musty walls must
almost have experienced a distinct
shock about this time as Dallas VAIN
wright entered from the corridor be-
hind. She was accompanied by Perry
and by Phelan, who, passing through
the corridor toward the aldermanic
chamber had collided with the brother
and sister at the committee room door.
''Here's a good sight for sore eyes,
Miss Wainwright" the alderman was
saying with his best air. But Is 1t
fair to ask what brings such bunch
Of sunshine into an old p'litical she'll
like this? I'd as soon think Of seeing
Horrigan at mass as to find you here"
II want to attend the aldermen's
meeting" exclaimed Dallas. II have

us the gallery was so crowded that we

interrupted Phelan. 1T isn't meant
for the likes Of you anyway. You
just sit here few minutes, an I'll
catch an attendant somewhere an
make him hustle up couple of good
chairs for you on the main door. where
you can pipe everything just like you
were in your own op'ra box coppin' of
a swad Of high C's."
"Thank you so much. alderman" re-
piled Dallas. II hope we're not put
ting you to too much trouble"
mo trouble at all. An even If 1t
was I'd come a-runnin' to meet it. I'm
the original trouble eater. Besides, the
best in the house ia none too good for
the lady who was so interested in my
outings. So long! I'll be right back"
What queer chap he isw unused
Perry, rs Phelan FASTENED away on
his mission. "If l could take six

Confused, she turned to the door

of that opening on the corridor and
found herself face to face with her
uncle, the boss and Gibbs.

men rose to their feet.
