the sweetest girl he had ever met, but
he found the memory would not down.
He tried to Danish 1t, but he could not

The time came, and Bruce, still hest

the risk that he saw could not be
avoided, went with the woman to her
house. The whole thing filled him with
disgust; the woman herself and the
girls he saw in her house revolted him.

RUCE LARNIGAN had won the
first battle In his fight against
~ the fifteen, q mysterious graft
syndicate which, composed not
Of cheap politicians, but Of great bust
ness men, had strangled New York In
Its nefarious grip and was planning to
spread its activities to cover the whole
country. But Bruce had no illusions.
A final and despalring attempt to beat
him on election day itself by attempting
to prove that he had accepted bribe
from the liquor interests to secure lax
enforcement of the law had failed,
thanks partly to his own cleverness and
his fiancee.
But Bruce knew that the real fight
was only just beginning. The graft

made him decide that Barr was mot
right"
He was seated in the little railroad
depot late one night, waiting for a
midnight train to take him to a dis
tant town where farmers conven-
ton was on the program for the next
day, when he noticed two men pass
ing slowly up and down beyond the
open doorway. The signal light shot
across the faces of the two men. One
was Wylie Barr. The other had a fer
retlike face Neil could not forget, once
seen. There was a certain air of sim
lister secretiveness in the actions of
the two men. Neil saw Barr hand the
man a roll Of bills and then both dis.
appeared, going in different directions.
A few days later Neil noticed In an
exchange an item on the escape of one
Red Leary from the state penitentiary.
His photograph accompanied the ar
ticle. 1t was that of the man Neil had
seen lurking about the station with
Barr. He looked up the case. The es-
cape had taken place two days before
the night when he had seen the con-
vict
Neil did not like the situation on
general principles, less than ever on
account of Nelly. He evaded her, but
he kept his eye upon her fiance.
A bit OF gossip floating his way
from the lips OF the chum of Nelly who
was friend Of his own, urged him to
certain hopefulness. For the first
time he learned that Nelly, not be-
heving that Neil cared particularly for
her, had been influenced to accept the
attentions OF Barr. who in the eyes of
her frivolous mother was an excellent
paru. Too late Nelly had learned that
her hance was of very common clay,
indeed, and that she had mistaken an
impulse for real heart interest.
At daylight few mornings later
Neil Hudson was aroused from sleep
oy his landlady, who excitedly an
nounced to him that the publisher OF
the Herald was on the phone and
wished to talk to him at once.

he took up the receiver.

ANNA HELPED SARAH;
A BAD DAY FOX ANNA
SHE ASSISTED WOMAN IN EscAP-
ING FROM THE LAW; TO BE
CHARGED WITH PERJURY.

Some days ago the police raided
the homes of Sarah Steadman and
Anna Bolton, obtaining four quarts OF
whiskey from Sarah's domicile, and a
single quart from Annals. Anna told
the police that she was guiltless, as
the quart in question belonged to Sa-
rah.
"All right" said the bluecoats, tell
that to the Mayor
So when Anna and Sarah appeared
in court, Sarah charged with having
more than the legal amount of whis.
key in her possession, and Anna as a
witness, Anna told Mayor Batson that
the whiskey found in her house by the
police was her own; that it did not
belong to Sarah.
"Why was it yours?" the mayor asst
ed.
Because All bought it and paid TO
it." she said. "Ah gives Sarah 5O
cents, and she ordered it fo me-"
Then charges were preferred against
Sarah for acting as an agent, and the
woman was given hearing in the
Mayors court today.
Anna again took the stand and de-
MED that she had said that she gave
Sarah so cents with which to purchase
quart of whiskey. She said that
the two ordered the liquor together,
and that they bought an express or
der. She said she handed the agent
30 cents and Sarah rendered him the
rest of the money; that Sarah never
touched the money. She admitted that
it was shipped in Sarah's name, how.
ever. Sarah also admitted this. She
was fined $50 and costs. II
Immediately Chief Bennett and May
or Batson made plans to appear before
the grandjury next Monday and ask
for an investigation of perjury charges
against Anna.
