gaging New York politicians today.

the Democratic nomination in 1912,
was the guest OF honor last night al
another billion dollar dinner, given
by Thomas F. Ryan.
Every corporation magnate ap-
preached today denied that politics
was discussed. except In. the most
casual way. at the Ryan AFFAIR. The
political sharks. however. pointed to
the fact that the majority OF the
diners were conservative Democrats
and that Ryan came from his Vir-
yiuia estate, and Underwood from
especially for the af-
fair. Speculation ran from guesses
hat the multi-millionaire diners
wanted to know what the next Dem
,cratic platform is going to contain
TO hints of plans to kill the govern
ment armor plate factory and ship
ping bills.

Standard Oil Co., Of New Jersey

Steel: Henry Frick. OF the United
States Steel corporation; James B

echoed through the Lonely house,
Alan came and stood before him.
Alan was a man. Without being tall
he looked tall. His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the slimness of
his hips. His neck looked too thin

head. In a word; he had the perfect
proportion that looks frail and is

bloodshot in the corners and with
their dizziness the clear-cut lines of his

blur.

After dinner the four gathered in

He was staring at the coveted picture

that afternoon. 1t hung in the niche
in which his thoughts had placed it.
Alix took her stand before 1t. She
glanced inquiringly ut the others. Mrs.

As Judge Healcy, gray-haired but
erect, walked up the avenue his keen
glance fell on Gerry Lansing standing
across the street before an art deal
ers window. Gerry's eyes were fas-
tened on picture that ne had long
had in mind for a certain nook in the
library of the town house.
1t was the second anniversary of his
wedding. and though it was already
late in the afternoon Gerry had not
yet chosen his gift for Alix. He
turned from the picture with last

street.
For many years Judge Healey had
been foster-father to Red Hill in gen.

almost womanly intuition he read
what was in Gerry's mind before the
picture and acting on impulse the
Judge crossed the street and bought it.
While the Judge was still in the pic
ture shop Gerry came out Of the jew
eler's and started briskly for home.
He had purchased a pendant of bril-

yet saved to good taste by simple

to win you, but you were not to be

a vengeance. You have left such a

For the first time Alan spoke. "What
do you mean, sir?" With the words
his slight form Strengthened, his eyes
blazed, there was slight qulvering
of the thin nostrils and his features
came out clear and strong.

'but I've been your banker without

Alan placed his hands on the desk
