had come to Leadam street spread
blackly. Many man, and many q
woman, and many child, cried. The
poor had lost friend, and they would
not soon forget him. In the long days
of the distant winter they would think
of him over and over. Every one in
that ward was poor, though the re-
formers, condescending that way
whenever Jimmy was up for re-elec-
tion, somehow never grasped the real
significance of the fact. And it was
a somber Monday around the city
hall. Jimmy had been a man with a
genius for friendship. The gang
mourned him in sadness that had
added to it the remorse of recent
sobriety, but their grief, genuine as it
was, had in it an evil bitterness their
hearts would not have owned. They
were restive and troubled. Whenever
they got together in little groups, they
read CONSERVATION in one another's
faces; and now and then they cursed
the caution they had extolled on Sat
urday night. Besides these varied ef-
fects, Jimmy's death, while it could
not create crisis in the market,
nevertheless gave rise to nervous
feelings in certain segments of finan-
cial circles. 1t was inevitable that
financial and political circles should
overlap and intersect each other in
this matter, and there were confer
ences which seemed to reflect sense
of personal resentment at Jimmy for
having been murdered so inopportune-
ly. In the end, the financiers were
peremptory with Baldwin. He must
fix the thing some way. And he as
sured them that he would give the
appointment of the administrator his
immediate attention. Already, he said,
he had man in view who would be
reasonable and practical There were
suggestions of strong-handed methods,
but that was never George R. Bald
wins way. He went out with his air
of affability unimpaired. Meanwhile,
political and financial circles could
only wait and hope.
The excitement of the first few
/. ays following the tragedy kept An

funeral was over, and she returned to

Father Daughertys reported the
whole affair to the probate court, and
the Judge when the time for filing
claims had elapsed, and he had waited
for the particular claim he knew
would not be presented, ordered a dis
tribution of the property. Then Fa-
ther Daugherty went to the fiat to see
Annie, bearing the bundle, the original
bundle, the bundle that had bought
the new gas franchise. Something of
the dramatic quality in the situation
had got into the old priests heart.
He knew that Annie would appreciate
it all so much better if she could see
the fortune, and feel it, and he would
let her do so for an instant before he
put 1t away in the safety deposit
vaults to await opportunity for it's in

She could not grasp the amount,

with the enthusiasm of boy shining

his hollow eyes, said over and over:
Look at it, my child, Feel It,
It's fifty thousand dollars! And it's
all yours!"
She patted it, tenderly and affec-
tionately, with a soft and reminiscent
caress, so that the priest knew that
it was not for anything that package
of money might hold for her in a
material way. then or afterward. but
rather for what it gave back for a
moment TO her desolated heart. And
the priest was glad of that, and there
