SYNOPSIS.

A foolish young tenderfoot becomes
fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a
drunken prospector in a western mining
town. They prepare to elope In a blind
ing blizzard but are confronted by the
mauGlln husband. He is shot by the
wife. but the chivalrous boy pins a
note TO the body taking the crime
upon himself. In their flight to the
railroad station the woman's horse
on his own and follows hanging to the
stirrup strap. Seeing he is an impede
ment- the women thrusts her escort into
he stumbles into the railroad station just
as the train bears the woman away.
Twenty-Five years later, this man, George
Gormiy. is a multi-Tnillionaire in New
York. He meets Eleanor Haldane.
beautiful and wealthy settlement worker.
and co-operates with her in her work.
Gormly becomes owner of a steamship
line and finds himself frustrated in pier
dermen. backed by the Gotham Traction
Company. An automobile accident brings
the Haldanes TO his country home. Gorm-
~ announces that he will be mayor OF
New York and redeem the city from cor
ruption. Mr.. Haldane in a long desired
interview with Gormly. makes an indirect
proposition to compromise the fight which
the latter has been waging In the news
papers against the Gotham Traction com
pany. and which Haldane is suspected of
being the head. GorTnly boldly announces
his plan of campaign to Haldane. Gormly
rides to Heldanes place. carrying word
of the auto accident. The next morning
he refers 10 the ride of the night before
as mild compared to one he experienced
IN his boyhoOd days. The papers an
nounce his candidacy for mayor.

Victim of a Sudden and flor

The late DR.. George W. Bailey of
New York. said a Presbyterian di-
inc. was thoroughly moders in his
methods. but he did think that some
OF our surgeons went too far.
DR.. Bailey. apropos of certain reek-
less abusers of the knife, used to tell

AT a meeting Of this club a pallid
member said:

Fifty.sIx Years In One School.

Prof. Zephaniah Hopper. the oldest
school teacher in Philadelphia. who
is eighty-two years old. began his
fftv.sixth year of teaching al the
Central high school

had at his disposal more appointments
than all the rest OF the administration
put together, used them primarily for
the good of the party and after that
Tor cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensibIe head but
really the servant of the quartet. was
there because of his Office. and he was
in ONCE because he could be con-
trolled. From the point of view of
the men present, he was the best
mayor that New York had ever
had. He was a man of some parts.
He could make brilliant speech. pre-
side gracefully and with dignity at
public meetings. and was altogether
an admirable figure to head great
city in everything but morals.
Associated with these four intensely
practical men and this plant, willing
figurehead were the interests repre-
scented by the Gotham Freight Trac-
tion company. of which Haldane was
in absolute control. although the presi-
dency was vested in another man. The
interests of Haldane and his asso-
eiates were not confined TO the
Gotham Freight Traction company.
They had their hands on every public
franchise. Their private affairs. OF
course, were vast and multiform. but
with them we have nothing to do.

continue to pay enormous sums.

advantages in one form or an
other. All the trusts that make

equaied in wealth and control the
organizations these men represented.
Haldane, from his one interview
with Gormly. had an idea that in this
instance the two forces to be dread
ed by the ring were incarnated in
GoTmly and would rally about Gormlv.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

''I think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema / have
ever heard of. Ny mother had child
who had rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In few days the head was
solid mass, running sore. Ihwas
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. AT last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, box of Cutieura Ointment,
and bar OF Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
it has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
titul head of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents

night The men summoned thereto
came up town quietly and unostenta-

Now, Of course. everyone or those
present had read Gormly's startling
announcements of his candidacy. Most
q them had read them with amuse-
ment; only the most president with
any feeling of alarm. and even that
feeling was not sufficiently deep to
have awakened any special degree Of
anxiety. Yet the fact that each one
mad been summoned to Haldane's
house, the politicians through Liffey
and the financiers through Haldane
himself, rather startled them.
The eight men assembled in the
spacious library of the Fifth Avenue
house. The curtains were discreetly
drawn. The men had arrived singly
and at different times, They were
admitted by Haldane's confidential
secretary in person. Cigars and
liquors were provided. and the eight,
from all sorts of differing social ranks,
mingled freely together on terms of
absolute equality.
The district attorney. for instance,
was graduate of Yale. Haldane him
self had come from Harvard. The
mayor was a product of Columbia.
J.iffey had started in as a poor Irish
immigrant The chief of police had
been a saloonkeeper and finally the
colonel of a National Guard regiment
Mcdonald was a Scotsman whose
shrewdness and ability had won him
a high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited
a vast fortune, which his adroit man
agement had tremendously increased.
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly,
II have called you here, as yoc have
doubtless surmised, because OF the
announcement of the candidacy of
George Gormly for mayor"
do you think it's of sufficient IN
portance, Mr.. Haldane, for. such an
unusual conference as this is?" asked
the boss.
Z certainly do, Liffey. was the re-
ply.

stances were suspected, but their ac-
tuality had not been allowed to trans
pire. HaldaDe kent in constant touch
with Liffey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two We're hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity of the situation, and had di-
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice wound naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
of the directors of the Gotham Freight
Traction company, to wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald. men associated with
him upon whose Judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came Liffey, grand chief of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and undisputed boss Of the party:
Connen, the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter d. Warren.
mayor of the city.
Liffey, as leader Of the Great
Sachem society. controlled the or
sanization absolutely. The chief of
police welded the vast powers for
graft of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve of both
the Sachem society and that portion of
the people to which it looked for sup

Mr.. Poole, excuse me; it is quite
aseless to talk to me any more on
this line My mind is made up. and
nothing you can say, or anyone can
say, will change it."
Mr.. Gormly," said Benson, rising,
contempt and resentment striving for
the mastery of his voice, lin some
ways you're a mighty smart man.
You have begun this movement bril-
liantly, but the position you're takin'
now makes me regard you as, you'll

you for your compliment. Your opin-
ion does me honor, at least the last
part OF it. Let me say that have

afternoon
The disguised delegation tramped
out. The three men had to run the
gauntlet Of reporters outside the bust
ness Office. They communicated
nothing whatsoever OF the results of
their interview to these assiduous
young men.
Gormly, however, was more amen
able to their appeals for an interview.
One resolution Gormly had taken: to
give the people the fullest informa-
ton all the time about what he pro-
posed. He was willing to discuss any
public question at any time with any
one, and he had no objections to his
opinions being quoted.
Gentlemen, said Gormly to the
group of newspaper men. "as has al
ready appeared in the press of the
city, these gentlemen who have just
left came to offer me the nomination
of the minority party for the Office for
