That same night McQuade concluded
some interesting business. He pos
sessed large interests in the local
breweries. Breweries on the average
do not pay very good dividends on
stock, SO the brewer often establishes
a dozen saloons about town to help the
business along. McQuade owned a
dozen or more Of these saloons, some

replied Morrissy, CHANGING at his watch.
Morrissy lighted a cigar, tool the
evening papers from the end of the bar,
and disappeared. Ten minutes later
McQuade appeared. Schmuck nodded
toward the stairs. and without a word
MCQuade went up.
McQuade closed the door and sat
down,
You got my letter.. he began.
Morrissy nodded and said:
THE boys will go out Monday morn

Suddenly McQuade laid a bulky en-
yelope on the table and went out. Mir
rissy thrust it into his pocket and also
departed.
'Five hundred now, and $500 on Mon
day. I can see him sending a check.
1t Will be bills. Bah. Isshould have
