"Of course l wanted to come" said
the young woman. earnestly. II have
read every scrap pertaining to the
campaign. / have done what [ could
among such friends as I was able to
influence to get them to aid you. 1t
was through me that Livingstone
proffered his services. l even tried
my father, but I have been unable to
make any impression upon him; and
l wanted to hear from you directly
how things were going"
Il realize all that you have done.
and you can't imagine, Miss Haldane,
how great a deprivation it was to me
to send such a message, and how hard
course it was to decide upon"
Il made Livingstone bring us both
down here tonight But l never
dreamed that l was going to be the
spectator of such scene as that
which has just happened. l don't be-
lieve there was ever anything more
dramatic or splendid in the history of
American politics. Why, it was like
a new Declaration of Independence!
When that multitude surged back and
forth, crying, yelling, threatening, and
muttering, l followed every emotion in
my own heart. never was so thrilled
in my life. / am glad to have lived
through this, to have seen it, to have
been small part of it,
"You can't imagine" said Gormly,
'how great part of it you have been.
l will not say that I am doing it all
for you now; that would not be true
or fair. But you were my inspiration
in the beginning, your words, your
presence. Miss Haldane. I have some
thing to say to you.
First of all" he began, where are
you taking me?"
Anywhere you want to go. You
said you had no engagement, you
know" Miss Haldane leaned forward
and touched her brother. He stopped
the car again and turned about. Mr..

CHAPTER x.--continued.

Now, sir" said Gormly, you see
what our masters the people think.
They wish me to put to you a ques-
ton. IL 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"
Answer! Answer! No speech!"
roared the crowd.
Every man is entitled to his
chance" said Gormly, land I beg you
to hear"
Il will pledge you my word" con-
tinued the mayor, that so far as I
have power the issuance of this fran
chise shall be determined by the cleo
ton. If l 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.
st will not, and will use what influ-
ence I have to see that 1t is not pre-
sented to me-" was the answer.
Nothing" said Gormly, could be
fairer than that. The issue is clearly
and sharply drawn. If you want to

only to re-elect the present mayor If
you want to resume your own control
of affairs, you have only to elect me.
I 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 perspiration 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.
Connell turned to the mayor. Shall
I drive these dogs out of the square
Curse 'em!" he cried.
Nothing would have suited the
mayor better; but policy would not
permit.

proaches to the city hall. Let the pee
pie alone. They will dispense now"
Indeed they were already beginning
to break away.
"Well, you've gone and done it now

essary orders. unless you get cleo

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?"
Approve! 1t was the nerviest sort
of 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"
II don't know" answered the mayor
nervously. What will Liffey and Ben
son and the rest say?"
II don't know" returned Ruther-
ford; "but whatever they say, it was
the only thing on Gods earth to do
and they ought to be glad that you
had the nerve to do it. Now, we've
got to win the election"
Eyes" 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?"

II am sure now, that l was aware
of your presence, Miss Haldane,' said
Gormly quietly. "And because of that
/ know that l never spoke better
ct was a great occasion" was the
reply, land great occasions make
great speeches"
'That and the consciousness-unc

carried me through"
''It was glorious. You played upon
those people as l might play upon"
"Me," said Gormly softly.
Upon an instrument of music" con-
tinued the girl Il think your election
is sure"
II think so too" was the answer;
"but l am not indulging in any over
confidence, and there is to be no
weakening of effort until the last
minute"
They had by this time reached Four
teenth street Although it was long
after the ordinary time for the issu-
ance of the latest editions of the news
papers, newsboys were already crying
accounts of the episode on the streets,
and papers were being bought eager
ly on every hand.
"Mr. Gormly," she turned suddenly
full upon him, why have you said to
my brother that I must not come to
the store any more to consult you on
business matters?''
my dear Miss Haldane," said Corn
ly. Il did that for your sake"
But why?"
81 have ascertained that l am be-
ing Swallowed by practically all the de-
tectives of the city hall force; that
am watched constantly; that all my
visitors are noted; and l did not wish
to involve you in any notoriety what

knowledge that you would come or
that you wanted to come, thought 1t

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance Of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that after
q short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.

Miss HaIdane Listens to 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
to him.
"Mr Gormly," said Miss Haldane,
that was the most magnificent, splen-
did, dramatic scene l ever witnessed
or participated in"
Gormly rose to his feet instantly
and faced about.
you were there. Miss Haldane!" he
exclaimed.
Didn't you see me?" 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 !
change places. / don't want to talk
to you particularly; but l know that
Eleanor wants to speak to Mr.. CORN
ly, and"
The words were not out of her
mouth before Cormly 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.

which so members were present. Sec.

ship.
Committees will be organized on
the same basis as the committees
which worked a year ago, but il is
expected that the campaign this year
will last only about six days instead
of ten. The committees will meet
for luncheon in the board rooms
every noon. The members of the
committee pledge themselves to give
tive -hours-a- during the cam,
paign. About ten committees will be
organized and IL is expected that 500
members will be added to the board.
The workers will be furnished with
a portfolio telling the aims and
ideals OF the Board of Commerce,
what the board has done and the part
that 1t plays in the activities of the
city together with the reasons why
the manufacturing concerns OF the
city should have more memberships.
