A little later Maloney and Parkins
were about to escort their dupe to his
waiting ear when a tough-looking per-
son appeared in the outer office and
asked the girl if she was Jane Carter.
Eyes" she said. "What is it?"
Tile man seemed to bethink himself,
and took off a greasy cap, but only to
secure q note hidden therein. 1t was
addressed to the girl in her brothers
handwriting. She read it. uttered a
heartbroken Cry, and fell back in her
chair.
AT that moment the three men came
from the inner office, and were natu-
rally concerned at the girls manifest
distress. Parkins,' sharp-eyed as a
ferret, saw the note, which was writ
ten in pencil on a scrap of soiled pa
per. He picked it up and did not
scruple to read it. 1t ran:
Dear Jane: I am in the Mulberry
street Jail and it's a frame-up. See

while, of course, there could not be
the slightest question of disputing the
right of Parkins to speak for his chief.
Therefore, the most surprised man
in that part of America was BOSS
Maloney himself when the votes were
counted and revealed a landslide for
Kramer.
Instantly a scene of terrific excite
ment broke out in Maloney's Office.
For one in his life the man dropped
his sphjnXiike attitude and rained vitu-
peration on the ast0unded dupes who
thought they had been obeying his
orders. John Burton, of course, was
suddened and distressed by an almost
phenomenal failure, but enlightenment
came when Maloney turned on Parkins
and was about to consign him to
destruction.
Parkins was rescued with difficulty.
Some cooler heads decided that he
could be dealt with more e~ffectually
later. In the midst of the turmoil, jim
Carter rushed in. The boy was pale
and disfigured from the injuries re-
ceiyed when struck by the chair, but
be was wildly excited, and his voice
cracked as he leaped at Burton.

Jane, however, succeeded in reaching
her bedroom and locking the door.
But Parkins was not to be denied. He
rushed at the door, pounded %viciously
on the panels, and told Jane that if
she did not come out he would smash
the lock.
Meanwhile, Jim Carriers one thought
was to secure the help of someone
whose influence would be sufficiently
powerful that his employer would be
compelled to desist from the folly
which seemed to have Overtaken him.
An appeal to the police would be worse
than useless, but Burton was talking
at NJ great distance. He was the

him! So Jim forced his way through
the crowd, nor did he hesitate to stop
John in the middle of a sentence and

but could not refuse to credit the
frightened boys veracity.
Arranging hurriedly with another
speaker to take his place, Burton made
off. They reached Jane Carriers apart
ment just as the bedroom door was
yielding to Parkins' violence. The
man had now aroused himself to q
