no harm in saying that would prefer

on tho vain hope that chance might

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 reminis-
cences.
Since he had bought the estate
through the faithful Chaloner, he had
not seen 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.

The thing was an instant sensation.

hypocritical tears over the unfortunate

imagined they would have to race 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 it 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 it.
In previous campaigns the party out
Of power had been led by 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 outs 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
name attached to familiar institu-
ton, he became within one month one
OF the great personalities Of New
York. The situation was intoxicating.
Incidentally, he did not lose In the
estimation of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation of himself, which no 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 OF qormly and
his doings, penetrated. That he was
rich and bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
set. Men and women there began to
inquire az to who he was. 1t was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
enlighten them SO far as she could,
without betraying the nature q 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 he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter Of q century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
cradle accuracy, and indeed there was
little Of It 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 unshakably silent. His
early past, therefore. was q mystery;
but the interest in . mystery that has
NO special bearing upon the present
soon dies out.
Then Gormly did an unusual thing
for him. He purchased country
place on Long Island. This received
no mention in the public press, be-
cause the whole matter had been han
