CHAPTER xl.

Miss HaIdane Listens to a Declaration.
For some distance the automobile
sped onward. Before one of the big
wholesale buildings on lower Broad
way, now entirely dark, it suddenly
stopped In obedience to a signal from
the tonneau- A hand was laid on
Gormly's shoulder, and a voice he
knew and to which he thrilled spoke
to him
Mr.. Gormly," said Miss HaIdane,
that was the most magnificent, splen-
did, dramatic scene I ever witnessed
or participated in"
Gormly rose to his feet instantly
and faced about
You were there. Miss Haldanel" he
exclaimed
Didn't you see met" asked the girl,
note of disappointment in her voice.
And didn't you see me?" put in
Miss Stewart opportunity.
We'll, girls" said Livingstone Hal
dane, how long are you going to
keep UP stopping here?"
Il was about to suggest said Miss
Stewart. that Mr. Gormly and 1
change places / don't want to talk
to you particularly; but 1 know that
Eleanor wants to speak to Mr.. CORN
ly, and"
The words were not out of her
mouth before Gormly had leaped to
the street and opened the door. He
assisted Miss Stewart to the place he
had vacated. and took her place in the
big roomy tonneau. AS soon as the ex-
change had been effected, Haldane
started up the street again.

Warren gloomily. unless I am
elected"
The mayor turned away and walked
into the city hall. Rutherford met
him at the door,
Il want to, congratulate you," he
said, ION your course"
do you approve OF it?"
"Approvei 1t was the nerviest sort
of a thing for you to do, but the only
thing. That damned Gormly had you
dead to rights; but you took the wind
out of his sails"
Il don't know" answered the mayor,
nervously. What will Liffey and Ben
son and the rest say?"
Il don't know returned Ruther-
ford; but whatever they say, 1t was
the only thing on Gods earth to do,
and they ought to be glad that you
had the nerve t. do it. Now, we've
got to win the election
yes" said the mayor; ''but how ?''
Outside the city hall slender, quiet,
but shrewd looking man edged his
way carefully through the rapidly dis
persing crowd until he caught sight
of Cornell standing on the steps
scowling at the multitude, black rage
in his heart
Well" said the chief, as the man
came close to him. ANY news?"

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

Now, SIR said Gormly, you see
what our masters the people think.
They wish me to put to you ques-
ton. If such a measure comes be-
fore you, will you veto it or will you
not?"
The mayor was in a dilemma, a
fearful one He was quick enough to
see that his whole political future,
the future of his party, practically de-
pended upon his action. If he did not
declare his purpose to veto the bill, he
and his party were doomed. If he
took some other course, they would
still have a fighting chance. The
mayor rose to the occasion.
Gentlemen" he said, my action
shall be dictated by yourselves
"Answerl Answeri No speechi"
roared the crowd.
Every man is entitled to his
chance" said Gormly. land 1 beg you
to hear"
81 will pledge you my word" con-
tinued the mayor. that so far as
have power the issuance of this fran
chise shall be determined by the cleo
ton. If 1 am SO fortunate as to re-
ceive a majority, l shall take it as a
sign that you indorse the policy which,
with an eye single to the public inter-
est. believes that it demands the
granting of this franchise to the
Gotham Freight Traction company
which has already served you so we'll
If on the contrary, my distinguished
opponent shall prevail, the matter will
be left for his determination"
you won't sign the bill If it comes
to you them" asked some one in the
crowd.
81 will not, and will use what infiu-
ence I have to see that it is not pre-
scented to me-" was the answer
Nothing" said Gormly, could be
fairer than that. The issue is clearly
and sharply drawn. If you want to
perpetuate the power of the Gotham
Freight Traction company, you have
only to re-elect the present mayor. If
you want to resume your own control
of affairs, you have only to elect me.
1 don't ask you now which it shall be.
! don't want any more cheering. /
want you to go to your homes and go
to work Good night"
He sank down in the automobile.
covered with Precipitation and trem-
bling with nervous excitement.
Amid tumultuous cheering and ap-
plauding, the crowd opened a line
through which the big automobile
slowly moved over toward Broadway
and then sped upward through the
night
Cornell turned to the mayor Shall
i drive these dogs out of the square?
Curse 'emt" he cried.
Nothing would have suited the
mayor better; but policy would not
permit.
No." he said, lust picket the ap-
proaches to the city hall Let the peo-
pie alone They will dispense now"
Indeed they were already beginning
to break away.
