About That Gordon Knot

The Gordon knot is said to. have
been made of thongs used as harness
to The wagon Of Gordon, a husband
man, afterwards King Of Phrygfa.
Whosoever loosed the knot, the ends
OF which were hidden, the oracle said,
should be ruler of Persia Alexander
the Great cut away the knot with his
sword until he found the ends of it,
and thus, in a military sense, inter
preted the oracle.

into big girth about his middle, the

it was time for him to go down the
alley to Billy Boyle's and get his por-

Underwood watched Malachi Nolan

his proposition. Nolan blinked some

A dead misers hoard was found Sc
creted in a wall in an old cottage at
Pembroke Dock, South Wales, recent
ly. When workmen were repairing the
cottage they discovered bank notes
and gold amounting in actual value TO
about $4,000. The cottage was last
occupied by David Nicholas, retired
farmer and teamsman, who died some
time ago. He lived alone, and was in
receipt of parochial relief.

"Nlgther Chairman


"The gentleman from the First
ward"
"Misther Chairman" the thick,
strong voice said, 81 roise to place in
nomynation the name Of wan-"
1t was the voice of Malachi Nolan,
and Underwood suddenly remembered
that Nolan was to place his name be-
fore the convention. He listened an
instant, but could not endure it long.
He could not endure that men should
see him in the hour when his name
was being thus laid naked to the
world. Reporters were writing it
down, perhaps the crowd would laugh
or whistle or hiss. Besides, candi-
dates do not remain in the convention
hall; they await the committee OF noti-
fication in some nearby saloon. He
squeezed through the mass Of men
who stood on tiptoes, stretching their
necl5s to see and hear the old leader
of the First ward, and fed

dark horse, s; necessary to choice,

twenty-six ballots, till the afternoon
had worn away, and the trucks had
jolted off the cobblestones Of Clark
street, till the lights were flaring and
hot-tamale men, gamblers, beggars,
street walkers, all the denizens of
darkness were shifting along the side
walks, till the policemen had been
changed on their beats, ard Pinkerton
night watchmen were trying the doors
of stores, till Cinnamon shufllod forth
and Jewesses and Italian women
emerged for their evening breath OF
air, bringing swart and grimy children
to play upon the heated flags. The
hall was lighted, just as IF some Ital
ian festival were to be held there. The
reporters places at the table were
taken by the men who did politics fol

Baldwin, especially with a reformeJ
like himself who had money to spend
on his ambitions. lie had not dis
cerned how badly the man whom the
newspapers always cartooned with
the First ward sticking out Of his vest
pocket needed a reformer in his bust
ness, as the saying is. Hence his
glad surprise when Nolan wiped his
big hand on his apron like washer
woman and held 1t out, saying:
''But I'm wit ye."
Then the campaign, under Nolan's
management, in the most wonderful
legislative district-a cosmopolitan
district, bristling with sociological
problems, O district that has fewer
homes and more saloons, more COM
merce and more sloth, more million
aires and more paupers, and while It
confines within its boundaries the sky
scrapers, clubs, theaters and hundred
churches Of a metropolis, still boasts
a police station with more arrests on
its blotter than any other in the world.
Night after night, with Nolan's two
candidates for the house, lie spent in
saloons where a candidate must treat
and distribute his cards that the boys
may size him up.

on. In certain west side districts this
man had won, in certain north side
districts that man had been success
