I've got to see a man he began,
looking nervously at his watch; then
launching his shoulders, he stole softly
and almost on tiptoe to the door.
Frederick" sung out the prosecutor
sharply.
Broderick stopped but did not look
back.
"Broderick!" Numbered Murgatroyd,
Il want you in this office tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock-I want to have
a talk with you-alone. If you don't
come I'll send for you. Do you UNI

Broderick did not answer; he opened

Murgatroyd laughed, and turning to
Thorne, he went on:
"Thorne, I sent for you to tell you to
close up Cradlebaugh's-to close it up
at once. If you DON'T
But Thorne's self-possession had
come back, and he demanded fear
lessly:
"AnG what about you, Murgatroyd?
Are your hands clean?'
The tiger leaped into Murgatroyd's
face; his eyes flashed fire; the accuser
became the fighter.
II can take care of myself!' he an
swered quickly. I'm talking about
you, now. You are sworn as a coun,
sellor to uphold the law; you have lined
your pockets and built up your career
with the coin of suicides, profligates,
~drunkards, like Challoner, for instance.
Yes he e on, land there is
something more between you and me
than this. Thorne." His voice now
dropped almost to a whisper: "Yor;

to-"
Thorne interrupted him, his tone. his
glance, his n leaping at once into
in~solence.

Thorne glanced uncertainty at the
prosecutor, who had spoken with com.
plete assurance. Thorne recognized
the danger. Murgatroyd had been get

indictment a conviction. Thorne did
not know what proof Murgatroyd had

Another man might nave been dis
couraged, for millionaires, large prop
erty owners, reputable tax payers,
statesmen of the highest order. and
even his best friends came to him and
begged him to call off his crusade; but
he only shook his head. AS he pro-
ceeded, he made the discovery that a
political organization is not an organi-
zation-it is a man; that crime Is per-
sonified; and that corruption Is con-
crete. And as the battle waged he
found himself constantly seeking his
old stamping ground - C~radlebaugh's.
That, somehow, seemed to be the key
stone of the edifice that he assaulted.
Then, one day, agitated, b~reathless
but triumphant, Mixley and McGrath
burst into the prosecutors office.
"Chief," spoke out Mixley joyously.
1--WE followed your Instructions to the
letter" And reckoning to his partner,
''McGrath and me has got the goodsl''
McGrath pulled from his pocket a
bulky document made up OF deposit
lions, and said:
This here is the report, sir"
While Murgatroyd read the document
his subordinates stood watching him
with anxious eyes. Long before he had
concluded they saw In his face the ex-
preston that they had waited for.
by George, you don't mean i'll" ex-
claimed Murgatroyd, suddenly rising
to his feet and shifting his desk with
terrific force
You can bet your bottom dollar that
I'VE do!' returned Mixley.
Murgatroyd clenched his teeth with
inward satisfaction, Presently he said
i've waited for this for many
months"
After rereading the report he ordered
his men to go to Frederick and
.Thorne with the request that they come
to him Immediately.
An hour later Graham Thorne made
his appearance, Broderick waddling in
after him. Murgatroyd passed over d
o of cigars.
Broderick lighted, and after putting
contentedly for a time, commented:
Good cigars, these. Strikes me that
they're your first contribution to the
campaign fund, eh?" And helping him
self to three more out of the box. he
tucked them away in his pocket with a
wink at Murgatroyd. and asked:
ANY Challoner money in these?"
Murgatroyd smiled grimly.
You seem ready enough to burn it.
anyhow" he answered. And putting
also on his cigar he said Il wanted to
have a little confidential talk with you
gentlemen"
Broderick nudged Thorne and re-
marked.
Perhaps the prosecutors going to
divvy with us Thorne!"
Murgatroyd smiled and laughed; but
somehow the smile and laugh did not
include Thorne.
I'm not going to divvy up as you call
It Just yet-not just yet" he replied,
spointedly.
Broderick shut his eyes and digested
gfhe glance and the reply. Both seemed
to satisfy him, for he nodded genially.
Rising now and sitting lazily across
one corner of his desk. Murgatroyd'
turned his attention to Thorne.

OUR CHILDREN,S CORNER
A COBWEB PARTY.

HAvE you ever been to a cobweb
party? If you have. for they
nave been given, you will re-
member what fun o had n what
a delightful novelty 1t all was.
Some time ago a little girl wanted to
give a birthday party to some of her
friends, and she determined that it
should be quite different from the
usual sort of party that boys and girls
have.
Her brother I'M younger sister were
quite as anxious as she to have the
party a success. and they thought and
thought. with this result:
They got a lot of pretty souvenirs,
one for each guest, and to each one
they tied the end of a spool of thread.
Then they hid the souvenir in a place
which n could easily reach, but would
hardly think of looking for, and pro-
ceeded to wind the thread in and out,
up n down, above and below half
the objects in the room, and then out
the DOR n into another room. under
sofas, behind pictures, about every
thing they could lay their hands on.
Then came the second souvenir and
the second spool of thread. That one
was served in the same way, crossing
the first thread a dozen times, until
that, too, was all used.
At last some twenty souvenirs had
been hidden n some twenty threads
leading to them had been so tangled,
woven In and out. across and around
each other, that one could hardly stir
about the house, which looked inside
like a hugh cobweb.
As soon as each guest entered the
parlor he or she was handed the end
of one of the threads, and told to fol-
low where 1t led and a prize would be
found oil the end of It. Such a time as
they had! The youngsters were soon
as badly mixed as the threads. and in
a very little while the whole crowd re-
sembled flies caught in the web OF a
hungry spider.
By the time the souvenirs were found
that was almost the hungriest party
that ever cooled off with ice cream, and
all traces of stiffness that sometimes
spoils parties were gone forever.

ever made out of any one deal?'
Murgatroyd lit a cigar, leaned back
in his chair and inquired in an offhand
manner
How much?'
Frederick shook his finger at him.
Foxy, foxy boy! Do you think I'd
give up to you so easy? This particu-
lar deal I'm tellin' you about is away
back outside the statute of limitations.
You couldn't get me on 1t if you would.

Cradlebaugh's."

Cradlebaughs."
Thorne looked about the room, then
he inquired innocently:
HE doesn't seem to have arrived as
yet-where is hep"
Murgatroyd blew a cloud of smoke
toward the ceiling and answered:
"Oh. yes, he has-his name Is Ora
ham Thorne." Murgatroyd could see
the pallor of Thorne's face turn to a
deeper white; he could feel that the
ruddiness upon the countenance of
Broderick had deepened into scarlet.
There was a pause. After a moment
Thorne rose and said Indignantly:
Say that again"
with pleasure" returned Murga-
troyd. Il say that you are the hitherto
unknown owner of the most notorious
gambling house within the State.
There was another pause, in which
Thorne looked at Broderick and Broder-
lex looked at Thorne.
This is preposterous!" exclaimed
Thorne.
M~urgatroyd made no answer Then
he proceeded with assertions.
And with the earnings of that
gambling house." he said, evenly, you
have stopped the mouths, closed the
eyes and ears and paralyzed the hands
of the authorities. With the earnings
of that gambling house you have
bought the influence of Chairman Peter
Broderick, who lives upon those earn
~ings-grows fat upon them"
Broderick's eyes bulged; he, too, rose
and started toward the prosecutor.
Say" he yelled. "I1l open up my
anatomy to you. Pick out any ounce
o. fat and tell me Cradlebaugh's put
it there! Come on-my fat is my own
l earned 1t by the sweat of my brow!'
With perfect GOODNESS Murgatroyd
continued:
"Thorne, ever since you sprang into
prominence here, you have posed in
this community as a self-made man
boasted of carving your success by in
dustry, integrity and brains. And
yet" pointing a finger of accusation
toward him-"you have bought every
item of your reputation. every iota of
your respectability!" He stopped for
an instant, and then: EVERY inch OF
your political progress you've bought
with this tainted money, n with the
same kind of money you'd buy the
United States senatorship-if you
could
"Lies-all deliberate lies!" Thorne
calculated.
Worse than slanderin' my fat"
added Peter Broderick.
Before Murgatroyd could speak again
Thorne took another tack.
What evidence have you, I should
like to know" he said; you can't
prove these things, Murgatroyd."
That returned Murgatroyd. sis for
me to worry about-not you. I'm going
on, and when I'm through you car
stake your last dollar that I'll NOW
all about this rotten system that you
call your organization-from the most
insignificant ward politician up to
Feter Broderick!"
The accusing forefnger shifted from
Thorne to the county chairman; under
it the ~ayoirdupois of that gentleman
seemed to shrivel and grow less. In
all his career no man has ever honored
Frederick with this kind of talk. and
he wasn't used to 1t, All at once he
felt that his courage was Slipping from
him.
