Gormly sank back in the luxurious
seat as the machine started once
more. with an expression of great re-
lief He had said he was tired. No
wonder! The strain of three or four
months campaigning had been enough
to test his nerve and vitality to the
very limit. He had enjoyed no oppor-
tunity for relaxation. The pace had
been too swift, the going too hard, for
that. He had not dared to let up for
single moment. He would not have

CHAPTER xi.

Miss HaIdane Listens to Declaration.
For some distance the automobile
sped onward. Before one Of the big
wholesale buildings on lower Broad
way, now entirely dark, 1t suddenly
stopped in obedience to a signal from
the tonneau. A hand was laid on
Gormly's shoulder. and a voice he
knew and to which he thrilled spoke
to him.
Mr.. Gormly," said Miss Haldane,
that was the most magnificent, splen-
did, dramatic scene | ever witnessed
or participated in"
Gormly rose to his feet instantly
and faced about.
"You were there. Miss Haldane!" he
exclaimed.

The words were not out Of her
mouth before Gormly had leaped to
the street and opened the door. He
assisted Miss Stewart to the place he
had vacated, and took her place in the
big roomy tonneau. AS soon as the ex-
change had been effected. Haldane
started up the street again.
II am sure now that was aware

They had by this time reached Four
teenth street. Although It was long
after the ordinary time for the issu-
snce of the latest editions of the news
papers, newsboys were already crying
accounts of the episode on the streets.

Now, SIR" said Gormly. you see
what our masters the people think.
They wish me to put to you a ques-
ton. II such measure comes be-
fore you. will you veto It or will you
not?'
The mayor was In a dilemma, a
fearful one. He was quick enough to
see that his whole political future,
the future of his party. practically de-
pended upon HIS action. II he did not
declare his purpose to veto the bill, he
and his party were doomed. II he
took some other course. they would
still have a fighting chance. The
mayor rose to the occasion.
Gentlemen" he said, my action
shall be dictated by yourselves"
Answer! Answer! No speech!r
roared the crowd.
Every man is entitled to his
chance" said Gormly. and beg you
to hear"

tinued the mayor, that SO far as

chise shall be determined by the cleo

ceive a majority, ] shall take II as a
sign that you indorse the policy which,

crowd.
Il will not, and will use what infiu-
ence ] have to see that 1t Is not pre-
eented to me-" was the answer.
Nothing" said Gormly, could be
fairer than that. The issue is clearly
and sharply drawn. II you want to

He sank down In the automobile,
covered with perspiration and trem-
bling with nervous excitement.

plauding, the crowd opened a line
through which the big automobile
slowly moved over toward Broadway

HOW ABOUT PIPE LINES.

While there is much discussion go
ing on about the testing of natural
gas pipes in homes and about the fair
ness or unfairn ass of the Pine Bluff
Natural Gas Company to demand a S.
deposit from consumers before gas is
turned on, there is another more in
teresting and far more important fea-
ture connected with the letting of the
natural gas franchise by the city
council, and in which every property
owner in this city is vitality interest
ed. In considering the franchise of
the natural gas ePmpany the city
council should first inspect the plat
of the pipe lines of the company, to
make sure that every section OF the
city is we'll supplied with tributary
gas pipes and to avoid unnecessary
expense on the part of consumers III
future years.
The franchise, as already prepar-
ed. but not granted, provides that $oo
shall be paid for each 100 foot extern
sion of gas pipe made by the COM
pany. If the gas company has pipes
sufficient to care for its large bust
ness, it will no doubt enjoy, there Is
no necessity why the property OWL
ers should be required to pay $50 for
a 100 foot extension in order to get
the natural gas service. This one
feature of the franchise Should nave
the careful consideration OF the city
council. If the mains are generously
placed about the city connections
may be made without additional cost
to property owners.
