to his employer, handed him a dispatch

CHAPTER lat the suburban home of Charles
Wainwright, high tinancier'' he and his broker
Scott Gibbs, hatch up a scheme to corner up
the support of Dick Horgan, boss of the neigh
boring city, who is coming to discuss matters.
Alderman Phelan, the thorn in Horrigan's side,
whom Wainwright is anxious to conciliate, is
also coming. Among the members of Vain
wrlght's household are his neice and nephew,
Dallas and Perry Wainwright and his secretary
Thompson, a secretive young man in whom the
fnancier has implicit confidence. Judge New
man a neighbor of Wainwright, whose %continu-
ance in office depends upon Horrigan's favor,
boss. Another visitor to the Wainwright's is
AlWyn Bennett, in love with Dallas. who is
calling to ask her about her rumored engage
ment to Gibbs. Perryis in love with Cynthia
Garrison, also a neighbor: II-Cynthia is the
daughter of a bank president, who nine years
the dealings of an unnamed dishonest financier
and shot himself. His son thereupon disap-
peared. Mrs. Bennett congrttulates herself upon
this immaculate record of her sons deceased
father. Dallas refuses to marry Alwyn unless
he does something worthy of his family and edu-
cation. Phelan and Horrigan face each other.
III-Phelan defes Horrigan. Judge Newman
is turned down by the boss, but at Wainwright's
request Horrigan agrees TO reconsider his case.
HoIri gan becomes suspicious of Thompson,
and.Wainwright ma <e corrupt deal whereby the
former, for a big consideration, is to procure
from the board of aldermen a perpetual fran
chise for the Street Railroad. The BOSS is wor-
ried by the reform movement threatening his
power at the coming election and is casting
record. He hits upon Bennett who has had
some slight political experience. The latter
accept. but warns Horrigan that, if elected, he
will be absolutely honest and independent.
