KELLEY AND HIS MORNING HERALD GET A
WALLOP FROM THE MAYOR

The bitter scrap between Mayor
Thompson and the trust press bore
two features yesterday. Each time
the mayor took the aggressive and
both times the Herald and James
Kelley, its editor, were hit.
In a hot statement made before
the Thompson meeting in Cohan's
Grand opera house, the mayor called
Kelley "the hired man of liquor and
gas" and branded stories in the Her
aid as "damnable lies
A short time before Mrs. Clara B.
Koch, wife of a Thompson worker in
the 18th ward, filed suit against the
Herald for libel She said that the
Herald maliciOusly printed a story
about her in its effort to knock the
mayor. The Herald had accused her
of talking Thompson politics while
taking census for the school board
The speech of the mayor before the
theater crowd made history. It was
perhaps the bitterest comeback of a
public official to the trust press of
Chicago since the time William Lori
mer in the United States senate
blamed the Chicago Tribune for the
attack on him.
DIRTY, vilifying lies" and damn
able lies" were the epithets the ma
yor used in describing the stories
printed in the Herald after the suicide
of DR.. T. B. Sachs of the tuberculosis
sanitarium. He named Atty Levy
Mayer as brains of the booze and
beer makers combination and as the
spirit which guided Keeley's pen.
The statement as read by the
mayor runs:

tive of creed, religion or party afilia-

ton that Levy Mayer, who furnished

NO." Quaile said, with an attempt at
ease @But he ought to be here any time
now"
They entered the living-room. Quaie
examined it more closely in the light of
candles and lamps. Its comfortable good
taste was merely accented. AS far as he
could see,-and the corners were exposed
now,-it held nothing Barbara would
have had purpose in hiding. There
were only two doors-the one from the
hall, and another which probably led to
bedroom.
Dolly, stretched in an easy chair, APP
peared rather pleased at the delay.
"Hello, Mr.. Author!' she greeted
Quaile. "Why aren't we always re-
hearsed as pleasantly as this?'
For moment the smile left her lips.
"How much better than gloomy ruin

The white-haired actress smiled again.
Excuse me- | didn't know | had to
be so careful when our leading man wasn't
present"
But before long she, too, confessed sur
prise and uneasiness at Wilkins strange
delay. Quaile tried to bolster the con-
versation, but memories of his afternoons
visit conspired with his anxiety to keep
him quiet. When the silence in which
they sat now, alert for the sound of the
door-bell, had continued more than
quarter of an hour, he caught McHugh's

questioningly.
The manager arose and began to pace
up and down the room. AT last he paused
and glanced at his watch.
"All right Quaile,' he said. "Call up
your joint and see if he's left
Quaile walked to the telephone, glad
to be actually making an effort to explain
Wilkins absence. The connection was
quickly arranged and he recognized the
voice of his hall-boy.
"Yes, sir" the boy said in reply to
his questions. "Mr. Wilkins had his

Her voice trailed away. She strained
forward. Dolly half rose. McHugh
stared incredulously at the telephone.
Quaile, who had started toward his chair,
stopped short.
HE knew what it was, this new sound
that had slyly invaded the place. 1t
was as if it had little by little detached
itself from the very body of silence, and
still clung, undecided Then the attenu-
ated tinkling, the precise sound he had
heard the night Woodford's spirit had
seemed to warn him, reached a higher
note and held it.
"Quale!' McHugh murmured. as
that it?"
"Yes," Quaile said hoarsely. perhaps
we'll have news of Wilkins now."
He returned on tiptoe toward the tele-
phone. He stretched out his hand with
distinct hesitation. McHugh sprang
forward and grasped his arm

He heard her rise. He didn't turn,

after-glow which gradually diminished
above an uneven line of chimneys and
cornices.

her a meaning beyond his comprehen-

no reply. He walked through the lighted

muttered.
Quaile watched her take the receiver
from the hook. They waited motionless
while she placed it at her ear and in her
pleasant voice, sharpened by astonish-
ment, called into the transmitter:
"Hello! Hello!'
Quaile kept his glance on her face. He
saw it whiten, saw her eyes widen with
unbelief and fear. She started back. The
receiver slipped from her hand and clat-
tered against the table. Her mouth
opened, but she remained mute, gripped
by some stern emotion, evidently for the
moment beyond expression.
McHugh thrust her aside and raised
the receiver to his own ear.
"Yes, yes, he cried and then:
"No, no. A mistake No number.
He faced Dolly. Quaile appreciated
his effort at control. The man spoke al
most casually:
"Well? Who was it? You look as if it
must have been a pet creditor, Dolly
The old woman stirred. A little color
returned to her wrinkled cheeks.

arm.

said. "I-I've heard one."
"You don't mean it!' McHugh scoffed.
"And what had it to say for itsef?n

"Never you mind McHugh said. "It's

"No!"
Quaile swung in her direction Her
face was whittier than Dolly's. She was
more moved than the old actress who had
actually received the message She had
braced herself against chair-baek. APP
parently she forced herself to speak.
"You must realize. Mr.. McHugh, she
said rapidly, "that something strange or
terrible has happened every time we have
tried to rehearse that scene. First Mr..

reading he was affected at that very point.

son of that mournful prospect with
foreign city had thrown her into a
humor withdrawn, retrospective.
He was grateful for an entertaining
appointment he had for dinner. Then he
remembered Wilkins. He knew that Me-
Hugh would want him to cling to the
actor tonight, to dine with him, to make
sure that he reached Barbara safely and
on time. He was glad when Wilkins, al
ready dressed, told him he would dine
alone in the apartment and go straight to
the rehearsal in taXicab.
"You know, Quaile," he said, "I've
come to look on you as my guardian.
Don't think | resent it: on the contrary,
a feeling of projections not to be despised.
But don't fret yourself about me tonight.
Nothing can happen up there, and things
have been going along smoothly enough
at the theater."
But Quaile was not convinced. He
could only recall that they had never got
through that scene. He glanced at the
telephone. 1t was clear from the others
manner that so far no warning had come
to him such as that which had startled
Carlton, and later Quaile himself
Wilkins had not spoken so frankly
before. His words opened Quaile's
eyes to change in the man. His cheeks
were not so ruddy. A slightly restless
manner had replaced his ready assur-
ance. Quaie guessed that his misgivings
focused on tomorrow night. Certainly,
as he had said, nothing could happen at
Barbara's. 1t was quite all right to leave
him now.
"Then, he said, "Ill see you up there,
Wilkins. may be a few minutes late, so
If McHugh gets feverish tell him not to
wait for me-"
Wilkins nodded and picked up book.
OUAILE kept his appointment, but he
was in no mood for the entertainment
he had anticipated. The dinner was, for
him, dreary affair. He hurried through
it, finding it hard to believe his anxiety
for Wilkins could have reached such a
pitch
At the first opportunity he called
cab and drove uptown to the apartment
which, he knew now, housed mystery
for him almost as impressive as the thea
ter's tragic one.
AS he stepped from the elevator he
glanced at his watch. He was scarcely
ten minutes late.
The quiet, emotionless maid opened
the door. Immediately he heard stir
within, but no voices. Then McHugh
stood in the doorway of the living-room,
glancing across the hall out of narrow
eyes.
wonder you'd come at all, he snarled
"Where's Wilkins?"
Quaile's heart sank.
Surely he's here"
"Tm asking you just to train my voice.
McHugh sneered.
He strobe forward. He watched the
maid go. His lowered tone indicated a
desire for secrecy:
"Where the devil is he? l thought l
told you to keep an eye on him."
"I've done it as far as possible. l had
an appointment for dinner tonight"
McHugh's disapproval increased.
"You ought to have broken it,"
His manner opened Quaile's eyes to the
gravity Of the delay.
after all, he's only ten minutes late"
"Where'd you see him last?" McHugh
asked
