marshal his five cent fare and home
rule propaganda against Smith and VIII

the impression that the former Cover
nor is allied with Wall Street and big

foregone conclusion. Mayor Hylan's an

showing the lines OF the battle.
Third Candidate Talk.
So far as Is known. Charles r.
Murphy, boss of Tammany Hall. has
not made known what he will do about
the Hylan platform. but the fact that
the platform committee of the State or
ganization Is not considered favorable
either to Hearst or to Hylan is regarded
as a fact within the ken of Murphy at
the time the committee was named.
Along with this rustling UP of show
of delegation strength and array of plat
form planks and political thunder, con-
siderable talk of a third candidate is in
the wind. augmented somewhat by IA
vorite son protagonists from various
parts of the State. The names OF Mayor
Lunn of Schenectady, Cornelius f.
Burns of Rensselaer, county, Ten Eyck
of Albany and others are being men
toned But the truth is generally recog-
nized that, for all the talk of dark
horses" there isn't a dark horse in
the State qualified to represent the Is
sues between Smith and Hearst. because
essentially IT is a personal fight and no
contender appears so far who could give
either of them four seconds concern.

notorious that tho concurrent power OF the
states to enforce the prohibition amendment
along with congress has not been WORKING eff
ciently"
Our esteemed contemporary might with equal
truth have said that It is notorious that concur
rent power never works efficiently that In
fact the setting up OF concurrent power affords
the evaders, the sidestcppers and tho inherently
dishonest governmental agent the very oppor-
tunity they desire to work their own purposes
yet retain an aubi which succeeds.
Concurrent Jurisdiction is indcfensible quite
aside from It always resulting in expense

CHAPTER LXXIV.
A Tilt With One of the Girls,


AS perhaps was natural in an Of
flee where a number OF girls were
employed, there was considerable
jealousy because OF Nellie's promo
ton. She was one OF the youngest
girls and some of them had been
with the firm much longer than she.
They did not stop to think that It
is neither age nor length OF service
that makes an employe valuable,
but what that employe does---ls cap
able or doing. And not one among
the girls had ever thrown themselves
| into their work with the determlna-
| tion to make good that Nellie had.
Naturally Miss Jones help had been
of aid, but even without 1t Nellie
would probably have been the one
selected to act as Mr.. George Fal-
Ions secretary. Her brightness. her
quick grasp of the work had been
noticeable when she was with the
elder Mr.. Fallon.
Lena Danforth, a girl several years
| older than Nellie, had shown her
resentment more plainly than any of
| the others.
1T wasn't fair to pass us girls,
| who have been here a long time, and
! put that Riley girl in Miss Jones
! place" Nellie heard her say one
| rainy noon as she passed the cloak
! room, Every one can see she's
making up 10 MIR. George. l saw 1t
! long ago. She's so bold about It

other day and when she looked al
! him just tax about goo-goo eyes!'
you are lying, Lena Danforth, u
| Nellie burst out from the open door
way. IT'S q dirty lie. You never
saw me try to attract any mans at
tention. Never Will"
Nellie turned away, angry tears
filling her eyes and right back of het
stood George Fallon.
What had he heard?
Nellie flushed crimson with en-
! harrassment Had he only heart
her unladylike retort; or had he alsC
heard what Lena Danforth said? II
would be bad enough 10 have HIN
hear her coarse language; 1t woult
be unbearable to have him know
what caused it,
Nellie trembled with anger anC
embarrassment. She could scarcel!
raise her eyes when Mr.. FalloI
spoke:
What Is 1t, young ladies?" NJ
asked quietly, He looked from ont
10 the other waiting an answer.
