Analysis Of Measure Before

Edwin DENLY, president Of the cnai

posed charter before the You
club Of the Grand River-ave Christian
church, Thursday evening.
"UnQueetiouably. the proposed char
ter will encounter strong opposition"
said Mr.. DENLY. "and that opposition
will come In part from well-organized
and disciplined forces. II, therefore
behooves al .citiscns, and especially
all citizens Of those classes which or
dinarily take too small interest In po.
Ntical affairs, to study the pending
measure. be prepared to pass upon II
with intelligence, and to vote-mind,
I do not say to vote for II, Of neces-
sity--to vote upon the measure after
having informed themselves Of its con-
tents."
Concerning the abolition Of the
board of estimates. Mr.. DENLY said:
"This was done, not because Of any
quarrel with the members Of the pres
ent board OF dissatisfaction with their
discharge Of their duties. but because
the system seemed cumbersome and
uneconomical II II safe to say. ! think,

will come with me to the English Bar,

sured Ryanne, beginning, as he be-
lieved, to see his way forward. Don't
be afraid. I'm not setting any trap for
you. I'll tell you truthfully that

you'll come along I'll do the best can

Mahomed eyed him with keen dis
trust. This white man was as strong
in cunning as he was in flesh. He had
had practical demonstrations. Still,
whatever road led to the recovery OF
the rug must needs be travelled. His
arm, though it still reposed in a sling
was not totally helpless. 1t stood
three to one, then. He spoke briefly
to his companions, over whom he
seemed to have some authority. These
two inventoried the smoothfaced Fer
inghi. One replied. Mahomed ap-
proved. Three to one, and in these
streets many to call upon, in case Of
open hostilities. The English-Bar Ma
homed knew tolerably we'll He had
known it in the lawless and reveling
eighties. 1t would certainly be neu-
trail ground, since the proprietor was a
Greek. With dignified sweep Of his
hand, he signed for Ryanne to get into
the carriage. Ryanne did so, relieved.
He was certain that he could bring
Mahomed round to reasonable view
of the affair. He was even willing to
give him little money. The three
Arabs climbed in beside him, and the
journey to the hostelry was made
without talk. Ryanne pretended to be
vastly interested in the turmoil
through which the carriage rolled, now
swiftly, now hesitant, now at stand
still, and again tortuously. Once Ma
homed felt beneath his burnouse for
his money; and once Ryanne. in the
pretense OF seeking a cigar, felt for
his. They were rather upon even
terms in the adjudication of each 9th.
er's character.
The English-Bar was not the most
inviting place. Sober, Ryanne had
never darkened its doors. The odor
OF garlic prevailed over the lesser
smells of bad cooking. 1t was lighted
only from the street, by two windows
and door that swung open all the
days in the year. The windows were
generally half obscured by bills an.
nouncing boxing-matches, wrestling.

theaters. The walls were decorated
in manner to please the inherent
Anglo-Saxon taste for strong men, fast
horses, and pink-tighted Venuses. A

watching the water-bubbles in their
Sheeshas, or pipes.
A curious phase of this class OF I'M
der-world is that no one is curious.
Strangers are never questioned except
when they invite attention, which they
seldom do. So, when Ryanne and his
quasi-companions entered, there wasn't
the slightest agitation. A blowsy bar
maid stood behind the bar, polishing
the copper spigots Ryanne threw her
a greeting, to which she responded
with a smirk that once upon time
had been smile. He, being master
of ceremonies, selected a table in the
corner. The four sat down, and Ryanne
plunged intrepidly into the business
under hand. To make a tool Of Ma
homed. If not an ally, toward this he
directed his effort. Half dozen times.
Mahomed dropped word in Arabic to
the other two, who understood little or
no English.

Mahomed accepted this compliment
to his prowess In silence. Indeed, he
gazed dreamily over Ryanne's head.
The other fellow wouldn't trouble any
one again. To Mahomed it had not
been the battle, man to man; it had
been the guile and trickery leading
up to ii. He had been bested at his
own game, duplicity, and that irked
him. Death, he, as his kind, looked
upon with Oriental passivity. All,
well! The game was to have sec

it in strictly Oriental ways.
