PULLING THE WIRES

interview upon the value of congenial cam
didates and upon the joining hands of East
and West, when Henderson came upon
him.
"Give this to the bunch, will you, TOMB"
said the fancy man.
Henderson for answer ripped the sheets
diagonally across.
@IIl explain" said the newspaper man.
"See this telegram. Its mate was just sent
to Blake by Worthington. There's deal on
somewhere to confound Kingsley and Chal-
mers, and they've been using me. Tell Mr..
Vanantwerp that I'll continue to look like
lamb Just long enough to get hold of that
express package"
Henderson substituted a colorless story
| for the one he had sent earlier about the con-
geniality of Kingsley and Chalmers. Then,
with Russell, Vanantwerp (who was the
Wall Street manager), and Kelly (boss of
| New York;, he held conferences until day
light.
About noon of that day, Worthington, on
| his way to the convention hail. encountered
very bland Henderson.
we've practically given up Clayton, my
boy" said Worthington.
Henderson said he was very sorry, indeed.
"What happened to The Scoop today"
asked Worthington Seemed to me, Tom,
that YOU carried a bucket on each shoulder
"That happened in the Office, said Hen
derson, clasping his friend round the arm.
any original story, the true one you gave
me, was bungled on the wire, and they wrote
this hedging fake in the office"
X7ORTHINGTONw went on to the con-
=" vention; but he was worried about
the express package, and he did not look tor
Henderson in the press section. Which was
just as we'll, because Henderson was all the
while sitting on a sofa just without Worth
ington's door in a hotel corridor. About two
o'clock, when the convention was hearing
the speech of the temporary chairman,
bellboy approached Worthington's door.
"Got that express package, Boy?" growled
Henderson. Judge Worthington wants it
brought to him at the convention hall right
away You re so slow l II take it myself
The bellboy really was slow, because he
had hardly turned bend in the corridor
when Henderson was down two flights OF
stairs and in the Wall Street headquarters.
From his neck hung James Morgan Russell
in ecstasy and fat Money Kings were dan
| Cling about like fobs.
One there was, fatter than the rest: he
was Vanantwerp. An appreciation of what
Blake and Worthington would have done to
the Kingsley Chalmers ticket broke upon
him more gradually than upon the others.
But it impressed him greatly, and he took
| the center of the room.
