Fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a
drunken prospector in a western mining
town. They prepare to elope in blind

maudlin husband. He Is shot by tho
wife, but the chivalrous boy pins
note to the body taking the crime
upon himself. In their flight to the
railroad station the woman's morse

atirrup strap. Seeing he is an impede
ment the woman thrusts her escort into

as tho train bears the woman away.
TWENTY-FIVE years later. this man, George
Gormly, Is q multi millionaire In New
York He meets Eleanor Haldane, a
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

Company. An automobile accident brings

let his calves lose what is known as
calf fat" 1t is we'll known that young
animals gain more rapidly in propor4
ton to their live weight and to 100
pounds of food than do older animals.
That is, they not only made more
economical use of their feed than thS
older animals, but they take shorter
time to make certain total gain. Tho
man who turns off a steer that weighs
1000 pounds, has, if that calf weighed
100 pounds at birth, been given 10 per
cent. of the total weight by the dam,
while the man who keeps the animal
till it weighs 1850 pounds has been
given only s per cent. The man who
can make steer weigh 1000 at 10
months has more return for his
trouble than the man who keeps 10
"a months, with an additional weight
of only $50 pounds.
Butchers, too, have changed to suit
the demand of the consumer. All
though meat is generally considered
luxury in the diet of the poor mans
family, it still remains an absolute
necessity in the diet of the better
classes. But, where people formerly
ordered large roasts and steaks, they
are ordering steaks and roasts now
that are from so to rs per cent. small
er on account of the advanced prices.
They find that If they get a small
roast from a large animal that 1t is
"long" on bone. The butcher then to
suit the demands for smaller bone de-
mands smaller animals, and during
the last few months they have been
willing to offer, not a premium on
smaller steers so far as dollars per
100 Is concerned, but they have
brought the price Of small steers up
so close to that of the large ones that
there is really premium on little
steers when we consider the cost OF
production.
We do not think that the 1900
pound steer will ever be entirely
eliminated from the market, but we
do think (if conjecture is allowable(
that the baby beef animal will con-
tinue to increase in popularity in
those districts where men do not wish
to dairy.

bearing, that some impracticable re-
former has offered himself for popular
suffrage on such platform"
But It is the first time in my
recollection" returned Haldane, that
man possessing the peculiar COM
bination Of business ability, unques-
toned integrity, and unlimited money
has put himself forward, and l beg to
assure you that l consider him the
most available man from the point of
view of the opposition that has ever
appeared on the political horizon"

Gentlemen, gentlemen" said Hal

port. fhe street commissioner, who
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
for cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensible head but
really the servant Of the quartet, was
there because of his office, and he was
in Office 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 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
f1gurehead were the interests repre-
scented by the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company, of which Haldane was
in absolute control, although the presi.
dency was vested In another man. The
interests of Haldane and his asso-
ciates 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
Their alliance with the political party
for which they had paid and would
continue to pay enormous sums
had brought them very material
advantages in one form or an
other. All the trusts that make
New Jersey their headquarters hardly
equaled 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 IL
Gormly and would rally about Gormly

stances were suspected, but their &C.
tuality had not been allowed to trans
pire. Haldane kept in constant touch
with Liffey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were 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 TO
of the directors of tae 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;
Cornell, 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.
ganizatlon 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 1t looked for sup

CHAPTER VIII.

A Quiet Meeting Of the Dictators.
Early in the new year, at the in
stance of Haldane, meeting Of the
Amer circle of the governing body,
Ipopularly known as The Ring" was
called at his private residence on up
per Fifth avenue, which he very un-
Iobtrusively reoccupied for the occa-
sion. The meeting was held late at
might. The men summoned thereto
came up town quietly and unostenta-
tiously slipped into the house.
For many reasons Haldane's rela-
Itior to the Sachem society was care
fully concealed. He represented a
distinct group Of flnancierst and bust
ness interests whose relations with
the party In power were most init
nlate. These relations in some In

Now, Of course, everyone Of those
present had read Gormly's startling
announcements of his candidacy. Most
of 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
had been summoned to Haldane's
house, the politicians through Liffey
and the financiers through Ha1dane
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.
Liffey had started in as poor Irish
immigrant. The chief of police had
been 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
9gement had tremendously increased.
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly,
II have called you here, as you have
doubtless surmised, because Of the
announcement of the candidacy of
George Gormly for mayor"
do you think It's Of sufficient i'm
portance, Mr.. Haldane, for such an
unusual conference as this ISL" asked
the boss.
81 certainly do, Liffey," was the re-
ply.

and great distinction Of manner and

Placing the Halter.

With two fence staples fasten an
old harness snap from which the
spring has been broken to the left
side of the horse stall at convenient
height above the manager, says Q
writer in Practical Farmer, and see
that the boys hang up the halter
whenever the horse Is taken out
When he is brought in, his halter il
neither under his feet nor in the mani
ger under his feed, but Just where il
can be reached most easily and quick
ly. The point of the snap should be
hammered in slightly to prevent the
horse catching his halter upon 1t OF
injuring himself by rubbing.

CHAPTER VIl.-Contlnued.

'Mr. Poole, excuse me; 1t Is quite
useless 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 takln
now makes me regard you as you'll
forgive the language, a damned fool!
"Mr. Benson" said Gormly, thank
you for your compliment. Your opin-
don does me honor, at least the last
part of 1t. Let me say that | have
been considered by politicians OF your
stamp as damned fools who have done
the good work Of the world. Mr.
Poole, Mr.. Fitchett, wish you good
afternoon"
The disguised delegation tramped
out. The three men had to run the
gauntlet of reporters outside the bust
mess ONCE. 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
which l have proposed myself. l
thanked them for the honor that they
had done me; / declared that should
appreciate the individual votes OF any
members of that or any other party
at election time; but l refused posi-
lively to allow myself to be tied up to
any party, to be allied with any party,
to be the candidate Of any party. l

Isn't Mr.. Poole a stakeholder In

pany?" asked one Of the reporters.
II know nothing whatever about
MIR. Poole's financial undertakings"
Doesn't Lawyer Fitchett desire to
run for district Attorney" asked an
other.
81 am not informed as to the polit
deal ambitions of Mr.. Fitchett."
What did Bill Benson say to your
asked third.
"As a practical politician Of large
experience, he ventured to give ms
some edvice upon the conduct of m!
campaign"
did you take it," asked anothe
amid the roar of laughter which greet
ed this reply.
II am sorry to say that the cogenc,
OF his arguments and the force of hi
representations did not appeal to m
as he expected. My methods are s.
different from those he advocated tina
It In hardly possible to harmonize GU
views or practises."

FIfty.six Years In Ono School.

Prof zephaniah Hopper. the oldest
school teacher in Philadelphia, who
is eighty.two years old. began his
fifty.sixth year of teaching at the
Central High school.
He was greeted by the faculty and
by another generation of students. as
he marched into the assembly hall
the other day. He is as active as

from his home.
The veteran professor was gradu-
ated in the first class that left the
