CHAPTER XIV.

NLONG the heights Of Arizona,
IA where her father lay in most
precarious condition of health,
4 \ Shirley Bloodgood and her
mother had gone to care for the strick-
en- man. The life In the open and un-
der comparatively unconventional sur
roundings was much In the nature OF
a revelation to the New York society
woman, and the novelty of 1t all made
vivid impression on her.
1t was many months after the last
described interview between Broder-
lex and Murgatroyd that Shirley ar
rived back In her beloved New York
once more.
At the station exit she hesitated as
to where she would go, as she had not
notified any Of her friends Of her re-
turn. Finally she concluded to go to
the Bellerophon. an aristocratic and
conservative hotel, where her family
were known, and she asked the head
station porter to summon her cab.
At sight Of the unpretentious hostel
ry, which rejoiced in the distinction Of
possessing such a resounding name,
Shirley was conscious OF a variety OF
emotions. For a time In the old days
1t had been the fashion to patronize
the Bellerophon, and Murgatroyd had
been the first to take her there.
They showed her to her room, Won
derfully old fashioned room without a
particle of brass or glitter In 1t. Even
the bedstead was Of wood. good. sol
Id invitation to homelike rest and
slumber.
Shirley picked up one Of the papers
lying on the table. She started and
laughed guiltily. A name had caught
her eye-Murgatroyd Paper after pa
per she now scanned. and all mention
ed his name, and with 1t invariably
was coupled another name-Thornel
The Pillar, the most conservative even
ing paper In the city, was holding up
its hands in reverential hero worship
In a two column article 1t reviewed
Murgatroyd's record from its invari
ably impartial viewpoint. "Murgatroyd
had been clean" 1t said. His repu
tation was unsullied" II even re
ferred to the Challoner incident as &
pitiful piece of falsehood which hat
strengthened Murgatroyd In his posi-
ton. Shirley cried out, "Oh, what
hypocrite he isP
1t was after 8 o'clock when Shirle!
was reminded Of a sudden that sh
was desperately hungry. Once In tn
dining room, she directed her steps t
small alcoye. Shirley threw glanc
around the room. Palms screened he
table, making 1t impossible for her +
be seen, although 1t was perfectly eas,
for her to see every one in the room.
The air Of the city was full Of lif
and body. It gave her an appetite

"Thorne. Great Scott! never

zation nominee. and I'm tied up with
him. Say. honest. Murgatroyd, can't
go back on him. Thorne has been
slated for that Job for months"
Murgatroyd pressed a button. Mix
ley came in on the jump.
"Mixley." began Murgatroyd.
Hold onp said Broderick. "I'll help
you"
"Mixley," said the chief, "you can
hold those warrants until after the
next senatorial election"
Broderick gasped.
"Broderick," said Murgatroyd, look

ness? You're going to back me
