Rutherford laughed; so did the rest.
1t was so absurd and yet so exceeding
ly adroit.
"And I'll carry out my part of the
game" said the chief of police.
What part was that? asked
Haldane.
While you were out" answered
Rutherford, "our worthy censor of pub

ests. and enforcer of public law, sug-
gested that it would be a good thing
TO employ the detective force of the
city in looking out for the interests of
the party by investigating the past,
present, and future of Mr.. Gormly.

that we divide the offices between the

the most important and vital ones, of
course, but givin' the outs enough to

fingers into the public pie for few
pickin's, and so on. We can easily
do that without losin' too much, and
well present a united front against
him"
"A united front of all the grafters,
thieves, blackguards, financiers, and
politicians in New York;" sneered
Rutherford.
You don't like the scheme, Mr..
Rutherford" roared Liffey angrily.

"Oh, protest all you like" said the
district attorney easily. THE sug-

hard to see why you're in your pres
ent position. You have level head.
I think we are all agreed on what you
suggest; eh. gentlemen.

Liffey.

Van Slyke and his colleague also as

thing else to propose. What do you

that he'll accept II. He told me that

whatsoever"

At this moment Haldane reentered
the room. He looked gravely trou-
bled.
Gentlemen, it is past belief, but
when ! asked him whether he would
accept the nomination or not. he
said"
Haldane paused.
He said he had already pledged
his support to Gormly that afternoon
at the intercession of-er-my daugh-
ter and some other friends"
We'll, I'm damned" said the boss.
Are you goin' to stand for that?"
Il hardly see how can prevent 1t, "
answered Haldane, very much per-
turbed, unless should disclose my
own connection with the administers
ton; which, take 1t. is thing to be
avoided for all our sakes."
Yes. unless we want to kill the COW
we're milkin'." returned Liffey, 1T is.
