all. The place was desirable, in thai
it was not far-five or six miIes-from
the country place of the Haldane fam
ily. 1t was bought completely fur
nished. and the STAFF Of servants previ
ously employed was retained.
Gormly knew from the clipping bu
reau that 1t was the custom OF the
Haldanes to pass the Christmas holi
days at their country place. He had
seen Miss Haldane rather less IRE.
quently of late. because the work al
the settlement house was now SO far
advanced that it was merely a matter
Of carrying out the plans decided upon
and snending the money so generously
placed in her hands by him. which
did not need much consultation So
on the vain hope that chance might
throw him in touch with her, Gormly
decided also to occupy for the Christ
mas season his lonely cottage-it was
called cottage. although It was more
like baronial mansion than anything
else-on the Long Island shore.
1t was showing hard the evening of
his arrival the day before Christmas,
and Gornly did not like snow He
had bitter memories intermingted
with storm. and the sight Of the
white. ice covered. snow clad fields
filled him with unpleasant reminis-
cences
Since he had bought the estate
through the faithful Chaloner. he had
not seen 1t himself. Therefore, after
The excellent dinner which had been
provided by his new chef and served
By his new butler. he determined upon
a careful inspection of his residence,
They had advanced as yRr as the IL
hrary when the familiar tinkle Of the
telephone made them pause.

ter of the house.
It's ffom the keeper Of the lodge

ing toward his master. HE says that
there's q party down there stalsed In
an automobile. They can't get on in
the snow. They'd like to come up to
the house. There are ladies in the
party, and"
Tell them to come up by all means
at once" said Gormly.
Beg pardon. SIR" returned the but

does the stable afford?"
There's the station wagon and the

are all that are there"

imagined they would have to face this
bitter and determined attack upon
their franchises and upon their meth
DDS. They knew, of course, that they
held the aldermen in their hands;
that IN their close alliance with the
Sachem society, the organization that
ran things, they could pass anything
they wanted In defiance of any public
sentiment whatsoever.
Gormly had made one blunder; but
like brilliant soldier he had sue
ceeded in turning it to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another. The Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company was made the subject of
scathing criticism and bitter attack
Of which the Sachem society and the
party In power came In for a large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about It.
In previous campaigns the party out
of power had been led by series of
foriorn hopes, men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause of reform
and not noted for much of anything
else. The leaders of the outs took no
tice of Gormly. Inquiries began to
be made about him; his business
methods were investigated; his re-
sources were discussed; his character
was analysed; his career made the
subject of study. From being merely
a name attached to familiar institu-
ton, he became within one month one
of the great personalities of New
York. The situation was intoxicating.
Incidentally, he did not lose in the
estimation of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation of himself, which he had
so cleverly managed that no one
dreamed 1t was due to his own motion.
Even in those exclusive circles in
which Miss Haldane moved, which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
ings on this side OF the terrestrial
sphere. some account or Gormly and
his doings, penetrated. That he was
rich and bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
set Men and women there began to
inquire az to who he was. It was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
enlighten them so far as she could.
without betraying the nature OF their
confidential relation.
There were several papers on the
side of the administration, which were
owned and controlled by the party In
power. that would have been glad
indeed to have discredited Gormly;
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing I'm his life that could be used for
that purpose. Where he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter OF a century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
cradle accuracy, and indeed there was
little OF it that was not discovered
and disclosed to the eager public. He
was quite willing to talk about the
Gotham Freight Traction company or
any matter Of public moment. bur for
the rest he was unshakabIy silent. His
early past. therefore, was mystery:
but the interest In y mystery that has
no special bearing upon the present
soon dies out
| Then Gormly did an unusual thing
for him. He purchased a country
place on Long Island. This received
no mention in the public press. be-
cause the whole matter had been han
died by the invaluable Chaloner. and
Gormly's name had not appeared at
