ical secrets even to his gang. To
whom, then? He thought the matter
over for a week. and then installed
Miss Kate Doland. seventeen years
old, and the daughter Of widow.
There was craft and there was graft
in the movement.
The boss had mortgage on the
widows home. The daughter was to
receive q salary of s. per week, and
two Of the sum was to be credited on
the mortgage.
And If you play me any tricks the

The boss chuckled. He had made
himself safe. The girl must catch on
to more or less, but she would rot

Boss Kelly made the same mistake
that the reformers had made.
When the private secretary had
held her position for year she was
an "insider" on facts enough to make
cold chills creep up and down the
spines Of the gang as they thought Of
being given away. but she was loyal.
There were no leaks from headquar-

Kelly. but she was no traitor. At the

ed to Move.
BY GRACE kERRlcAN.

It had taken Jake Kelly five years
to become the political boss of the
young city of Grafton. but he had
reached the pinnacle at last. He had
his newspaper; he owned most of the
saloons; he owned majority of the
aldermen; his ward-heelers were num-
bered by the score.
From the outset. the respectable
element had fought the boss. but Mr..
Kellys ways were too sly for them.
With every promise Of reform on his
part. he drew the chains tighter. He
did not go too fast, but made every.
thing solid and lasting, and prepared
IN heritage for his old age.
The chief reason why Boss Kelly
got his start and continued to flourish
vas that the better class did not size
him up right. Because he could
scarcely write his nanc and had 40
social standing whatever, or aspirn9
to any, he was regarded until too late
as an ignoramus who could b.
squelched whenever the wave of re.
form got ready to move In due time
ii was ready. and then it was discoy-
cred that Boss Kelly owned the town
For the first two years of his reign
Mr.. Kelly could not see the need OF Il
private secretary. When a "divvy'
came his way the cash was showed
into his pocket, and the amount was
recorded in his memory alone. When
he had made up his mind as to who
should be the next mayor of the town
there was Darkroom pow-wow in
stead OF letter-writing. When it look
ed as II an election might be close the
boss didn't send out his instructions
in writing He took little walks under
cover of darkness, and as he leaned
over the bar of this or that saloon he
whispered to the proprietor:
I'VE shall want about 100 majoritv
