l llC COdLs fAuu Wlt1lu ldlJ d luluuLG he was racing madly through the streets with the letter and the check in his hand
 He went to the office of James c. Mcclure, one of the most prominent lawyers of California. MT. Mcclure l governor.
 Old man Moynihan threw the en- velope, letter and check on Mr. Me Guire's desk q want you to bust the trust, he said. Send the robbers to jail. Put every last one of them be- hind the bars. There's your evidence. It came to me in the mail The devils l put themselves In me hands"
 MT. McGuire ealmed the excited man and then read the letter and ex- amined the check. He knew Moyni- hans story. He smiled as he read the letter and he smiled as he looked at the check.
 q guess it's the mistake of some clerk, Tim,' he said. You certainly have the evidence"
 T have. Now go right to work and bust the trust, said Mir Moynihan I've suffered enough from the crimes of these spalpeens. Now 1 want my re- venge. They'd have ruined me if hadn't bit of money laid by" | Mir Mcclure explained to the old Irishman his idea of how the letter and the check happened to come to him. q suppose they have a new bookkeeper,' he said. "I suppose in making up his quarterly statement he included your account among those to whom rebates should be given. He supposed you were in the combination, so he had a check for the rebate made out in your favor. There will be the devil to pay in that office when they learn of this mistake"
 "It's right you are, MT. Mcclure, 3 said Moynihan. "Now I want you to go ahead and bust the trust"
 McGuire's Wise Advice.
 Not so fast" said Mr Mcclure. Tt would take years and cost you every dollar you've got It's matter for the federal authorities. The case would be fought out in court after court up to the Supreme court of the United States and wouldn't be settled finally probably until long after you are dead. You leave the matter wholly to me and I'll make these rascals quake. I'll make them wish they'd never formed the combination and never had anything to do with T. J. Moynihan. You go ahead and bid on all the contracts you wish. Base your estimates just the same as if you were getting rebate Buy all your supplies from the combination"
 Timothy J. Moynihan did as he was told. He got more business the next month than he had in the previous year. His competitors had ceased to consider him as a factor Not only that, but various men who had given orders to Moynihan were surprised to get letters from him notifying them that owing to a development, which he would explain to them later, he was able to make reduction in the price of work he had done for them and that he was forwarding his check to cover the amount they were en- titled to.
 MT. Moynihan meanwhile turned over to MT. Mcclure a detailed state. ment of everything he had purchased from the combination from the day il was formed. MT. Mcclure had several conferences with the head of the com ybination. The hardware man was 1 aghast when MT. Mcclure said it was his purpose to compel the combina ton to bring all it's books into court
 q don't care what system of book keeping you have employed" said MT Mcclure, "either your books or the records of the banks viii disclose everything I require. We've got you under the civil statutes and we've got you under the sherman act. You'll be mighty lucky lot of men if you es- cape the penitentiary You've got a pretty tough citizen to deal with in Timothy J. Moynihan. Nothing would please him better than to see you in stripes. He gladly would spend every dollar he possesses to have full re- l venga on you and all those connected
