"UDLE1 LARNIGAN, diStrlct
attorney of New York, was a
IL man who would never be sus-
pected of hysterical fear. His
word was good. When he said thing
It was taken for granted that he knew
exactly what he was talking about and
that he had the facts to back up his
statements. And yer he was ut this
time almost the laughingstock of the

majority. The newspapers. while they
did not actually attack him. made fun

askance. Even his own son. Bruce
Larnigan, an unpaid and volunteer as

shared the prevailing opinion, at least

were talking.
Tive no doubt that there's a good

Bruce laughed uncomfortably.

asked. "Why, there must be men in

who are supposed TO be respectable!'

his father bitterly. why. they're the

avenge his death and bring his muir
derers to justice.
Against the advice Of his friends.
against the pleadings Of Dorothy Max.
well. against his mothers urgings even.
Bruce stuck to his determination.
The murder Of Dudley Larnigan had
thrown the reform elements Of the
city into panic. This terrible and
sinister proof Of the powers of the
forces Of graft had caused a revulsion
of sentiment. Men who had assailed
the dead district attorney as fanatic
and a hysterical demagogue for his
great speech attacking graft had to al.
NIT that there had been some basis
for his sensational accusations. But
these same men were afraid to move.
So 1t had been easy for Bruce to Sc
cure the reform nomination for district
attorney. No one else wanted 1t. The
graft syndicate had made 1t too plain
that peril as well as honor went with
| the office.
Bruce was making a splendid cam.

the dives. the gambling houses, the

avenge the dead man, but at whatever

his own popularity tremendously.
He developed into an effective speak.
er, and his bitter, ringing speeches
made many converts to his cause.
Dorothy Maxwell had opposed his en-.
trance into the campaign since she
feared for his safety. Dorothy was
beginning to be haunted by frightful
suspicious, suspicious she had not dared
as yet to communicate even to Bruce.
But once he was In the fight she
stood by him. Ungrudgingly she con.
sented to the postponement of their
marriage that was made inevitable
since It was impossible for him to take
the time for his wedding during the
campaign. And Dorothy, herself an

speech she made to suffrage organ.

men who can. Let every woman here

that he votes right-for Larnigan and
decency, against graft and corruption"
Thousands Of women took up that
cry, and the graft organization, which
had expected walkover when It had
eliminated Dudley Larnigan. began
to be worried and to see that It had
removed one only to raise up another
In his place whose youth made him
even more formidable and dangerous.
And meanwhile Dorothy grew more
and more suspicious. She learned that
