High Schoo
Ahout Grange Dues.

There is a question sometimes IN
subordinate oranges as to when a
member should begin paying dues,
whether at the time Of initiation or
later He begins payment Of dues the
quarter succeeding the one in which
he takes his FIRST degree. The dues Of
charter members likewise begin the
quarter following that in which the
grange was organized. The subordi-
nate grange does not pay dues to the
state grange on a member until the
quarter following that in which he
was received into the grange, but does
pay dues to the state grange on any
names dropped during the quarter by
demit or expulsion.

CHAPTER ".

"HE next few months were a pc
riod Of unprecedented toll and
excitement for Alwyn Bennett.
i He sometimes wondered at his
own eloquence. Speech after speech
he made in every section Of the city
in half built suburbs, in halls where
nine-tenths of his hearers were In
evening dress and where familiar
faces dotted the place; in overcrowded,
smoke reeking auditoriums, where not
one man in three wore collar and
where a score of nationalties wed for
precedence.
With q versatility that delighted
Horrigan the candidate managed to
adapt himself to every audience and,
moreover, to impress his hearers with
a sense Of his absolute sincerity and
honesty. In the crowded, polyglot
meetings he hit on the plan of speak
Ing to representatives Of each race in
their own language. In single even
ing. so the papers recorded, he had
made speeches IN Englisn, Frencn,
German, Italian and Spanish. At some
meetings toughs had tried to confuse
him by interrupting with questions,
Joking comment or insult. For each
Alwyn, without breaking the thread OF
his discourse, found some quick reply
so apt as to turn the laugh on his tor
mentor and turn the audiences SYM
pathy to himself.
At last election day came and went
And Alwyn Bennett by fair major
ity carried his entire ticket to victory.
Even his severest critics in the organ
ization were forced to admit that Ben
nett, and Bennett alone, had saved the
party from severe defeat Horrigan's
Judgment and choice Of men for the
thousandth time in the boss crooked
political career was vindicated, and
Horrigan himself was overjoyed be-
yond measure. Nor did the fact that
he had failed to oust Alderman Phe-
Ian in the primaries wholly cloud the
boss delight
There was, however, slight cloud
on Alwyn's triumph. for Dallas VAIN
wright was not present to share that
triumph. Within few days after Hor-
rigans visit to the Wainwright place
Dallas had gone with an aunt on an
eight months tour Of Europe and the
Mediterranean. But Perry, who at her
secret request had kept her posted on
every detail of the stirring campaign,
cabled her the result on election night,
and the following day a reply mes
sage of congratulation crossed the At
lantic to gladden. Alwyn's heart. In a
letter that followed week later Dal-
las asked the first political favor the
future mayor was called upon to grant.
She begged that in his office Bennett
would try to find place for Cynthia

Eyes, yes~ agreed the boss impa-
tiently. That's all right, but what /
want to know is, How does all this

Horrigan threw himself back in his
chair, uptilted cigar in one corner Of
his mouth, thumbs in waistcoat arm
holes and eyed his host quizzically.
Wainwright did not even pretend not
to understand. Still, instead Of giving
q direct answer he went on with seem
Ing irrelevance:

lieve civic welfare would suffer by any
change in municipal administration, so
to keep the present party in power /
am willing to donate to it 100000 to

"That sounds pretty good as far as 1t
goes, but maybe you didn't hear some

want to Know is, How does all this
concern me"
"I'm coming to that. As ! said, l

"Wen?"
"If that franchise is granted, Bor-
ough stock will go up at least % points
within two days. That would clear up
for you a profit of-lets see-about
$375,OOO."
Horrigan had pulled pencil from
his pocket and was figuring on the
back Of an envelope.
"Yes," he said at last; that's right,
S375.OOO. That would be my profit,
while yours would run into the mil
lions. That's not warm enough friend
