CHAPTER iI.-contInued.

The thing was an instant sensation
the newspapers took it up. Other
merchants, freighters, and shippers
were interviewed, and a case was In
stantly made out against the Gotham
freight Traction company which
would have shaken a less ponderous.
less t~hick-skinned, less Indifferent or
~Eanization to pieces. Even the author
ities were interviewed, and they shed
hypocritical tears over the unfortunate
trickery by which the public had been
buncoed out of It's legitimate rights,
but they took occasion at the same
tim to point out that there was moth
Ing whatever to be done about It.
The party in power was one that
had long dominated the metropolis.
To be sure it gave the metropolis a
fairly good government; but the peo-
pie paid over and over again. They
were robbed s~hamelessly right and

thing was rendered them. what they
got was no Quid pro quo for the fright

ton- Graft abounded everywhere. The
party out Of power, which had been
out OF power SO long that It had per-
force become virtuous, did not hest
tate to point out the dreadful state of
affairs to all who would listen: but its
efforts had so far been unavailing. and

cause OF its so doing.
Now the Gotham Freight Traction
sompany had its weak point. Things

nished, and the staff Of servants previ.
ously employed was retained.
Gormly knew from the clipping bu.
reau that it was the custom Of the
Haldanes to pass the Christmas holi-
days at their country place. He had
seen Miss Haldane rather less FIRE.
~quently Of late, because the work at
the settlement house was now so far
advanced that it was merely a matter
Of carrying out the plans decided upon
and spending 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, GOrmIy
decided also to occupy for the Christ
mas season his lonely Cottage-it was
called a cottage, although it was more
like a baronial mansion than anything
else-on the Long Island shore.
It was showing hard the evening of
his arrival the day before Christmas,
and Gormly did not like snow. He
had bitter memories intermingled
with a storm, and the sight OF the
white, ice covered, snow clad fields
filed him with unpleasant Teminis-
cences.
Since he had bought the estate
through the faithful Chaloner. he had
not zee it 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 rar as the Ii
brary when the familiar tinkle Of the
telephone made them pause.
See who it is, Beals," said the mas
ter Of the house.
It's from the keeper of the lodge
gate, sir" he said, turning and look
ing toward his master. He says that
there's a party down there stalled 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
Ter, but you know it's half a mile by
the road, and it'll be terrible walking
for the ladies in such weather as
this"
Quite So" returned Gormly. What
does the stable afford?"
There's the station wagon and the
pair that brought you over, sir. Those
are all that are there"
Yes, l remember. That's all I told
Chaloner to send down, not expecting
to- Well, have that hitched up and
telephone them that a conveyance will
be at the lodge in a few moments;
that I should be glad TO have them
come to the house at once"
by the way" he asked, did you
find out the names of the p%eople?"
Yes, SIR" answered the butler, ut
was Mr.. Haldane and his party"

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 1t 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 II.
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 puts 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 a familiar institu-
ton, he became within one month n
OF the great personalities OF New
York. The situation was intoxicating.
Incidentally, ne did not lose In the
estimation of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation of himself, which he had
so %cleverly managed that no one
dreamed it 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 a bachelor were the most In
~teresting facts which appealed to this
set. Men and women there began to
inquire az to who he was. II 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 ne had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter of q century at least his
course had been traced with consi6-
cradle accuracy. and indeed there was
little of II 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 u~nshakably silent. His
early past, therefore, was a mystery;
but the interest In a 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.
