CHAPTER XVI.

The Chief of Police Visits Mr.. Gormly.
On the evening of the second day
before the election Connel, dressed In
plain clothes and entirely unaccom-
panied, presented himself very late at
night at Gormlys apartment and de-
sired to see him. 1t was SomeS VINO
admitted the official. Gormly's estab-
lishment was a simple one, and the
other servants had gone home for the
night
Somes knew very well who he was,
and while he had some of the English
awe of the police he had all the ha-
tired of a Jealous and devoted partizan
of his master, which he certainly was,
for the enemy. Therefore he re-
uuested the functionary to take seat
while he carried the request for an in
terview to the library.
Somes entered the library without
knocking, a most unusual course for
him. He also took occasion to turn
the kew of the door behind him. Then
he stood at attention in his respectful
English way Gormly had looked up
instantly the door was opened, and
had stopped his dictation. He was
greatly surprised at the Wallets en-
trance, and more surprised when he
locked the door; but he realized that
something unusual was up and said
nothing
BEG pardon, sir began Somes de
precatingly, but there's a party out
in the hall wants to see you"
| ''Who is it?"
HE didn't give any name. sir, but
recognized him as the chief of po-
lice
Yes, sir
What does he want?"
He didn't say, sir"
What was his message?"
Just to tell you that a gentleman
that's what he called himself, sir
wanted to see you
'sWhere is he now"
Il left him sitting out in the hall,
but wouldn't be too sure as to where
he is, sir. He seemed to want to come
right In here without permission. and
that's why I locked the door, sir
"I see," answered Gormly, twinkle
of amusement in his eye. Il wonder
what the chief of police can have tc
say to me? Well. suppose I'd better
see him. Chaloner, will you go into
the dining room and wait until 1 cal
for you. Tell the chief to come in
Somes"
While Chaloner gathered up his
| notebooks, pencils. and letters and
withdrew into the dining room across
the hall, Somes unlocked the door
stepped out into the hall and present
~ returned. He threw the door of the
library open in great style, drew him
self up and announced ass If it hat
been reigning prince:
THE chief of police of the city o
New York;
ITO what" asked Gormly suavely
"am 1 indebted for the honor of thi.
visit at this late hour?''
He glanced at the clock as hs
spoke and observed that it was half
; after eleven.
