could see that there was a slight soften.
ing in Drusilla's attitude toward him
but still she seemed to regard him with
sort of semi-suspicion that he could not
fathom.
There were certain of the elders Of the
city who did not view his ,usurpatton OF
their rights and privileges with calm
ness. They had set about to undo him,
and at last they played their biggest
trump. A committee went from Hoster-
ton to the state capitol and called on the
governor. He had been awaiting visit
from pust such a committee.
Now the governor had won his nomina-
ton in a contest against one Of Hoster-
toms favorite sons. and the favorite son
had gone home from the convention with
knife in his sleeve. When the governor.
as a candidate. spoke in Hosterton. the
crowd was not only slim. but unman-
nerly. and choice selection OF carrots.
cabbages and other testimonials OF disre-
gard had been passed toward him by
some parties beyond the fringe OF the
gathering. From this one may form q
conception of the tender sympathy with
which the governor viewed the plight OF
Hosterton. When the spokesman OF the
committee had concluded his exposition
Of the case the governor was asked:
What would you advise US to do?
The governor tugged at his mustache
to hide smile. Apparently he was
turning the situation over in his mind.
At last he spoke:
"Bingley bought the bonds?"
"Oh. yes; he bought them

What he was doing was simple enough.
He was looping off expenses: he was
making city employees do their work or
be dropped from the pay roll: he was
seeing to it that every cent which could
be saved was put into the treasury and
that not a cent was spent without full
return. His method was the unusual

sary. unless We except the severest
shock he gave to the citizens. This was
one evening when he was at fire depart

worry than even the unpaid bonds had
