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 a 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 large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about 1t.
In previous campaigns the party out
Of power had been led by a series of
forlorn 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 OF Gormly and
his dOinSs, penetrated. That he was
rich and a bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
set. Men and women there began to
inquire as to who he was. 1t 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 In his life that could be used for
that purpose Where he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter Of century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
cradle accuracy, and indeed there was
little Of 1t 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, but for
the rest he was unshakably silent. His
early past, therefore, was a mystery
but the interest in 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.

San Francisco.-The fast run made
by the engineer of the Salt Lake Over

Harry Lane, a telegraph operator of

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MISS MAE MARTIN

l.. t.: From what You say, I Judge
your trouble Is not eczema, but a rash
caused by the too profuse use of face
powder. and the only remedy Is to en-
ploy a good massage cream to. thor
oughly cleanse the skin of local i'm
purities. greaseless cream-jelly of
exceptional value can be made at little
cerire in a half-pint cold water and
adding one ounce almozoin. Let stand
over night. then apply to face, neck ard
arms and massage in thoroughly. A few
such treatments rid the skin of rough
ness, eradicate pImples and black
heads and dispel sallowness, while the
complexion will take on a youthful
tint and freshness.
Mrs. l.. b.: i know it is discouraging
to be over-fat. but this can be quickly
remedied if you buy four ounces par
notis from your druggist and dissolve
1t in one point-and-a-half- hot water.
When 1t cools take a tablespoonful be-
fore meals. Keep up treatment regu-
arly until desired weight is reached.
You will md this method will not in

Q. r: You can restore the original
color to the hair and correct those
scalp troubles by using this inexpen-
sive hair-tonic: Mix together one-half
put one ounce quinzoin. Massaging the
scalp we'll with this will gradually re-
store the natural tint and glossiness to
the hair and put the scalp in a healthy
condition. If you use the quinZoin hair
tonic regularly, it will make the hair
come in thick and beautiful.

Worried: That ugly growth of fuzz
can be permanently removed from your
chin by the application of a paste
made with powdered delatone and water.
After this has been on two or three
minutes rub off and wash the skin and
the hairs will have vanished. Drug
gists charge a dollar for an ounce
