two years ago when a kid by the

at that dirty skunk. And when /
tell you that 1 am out to get him,
1 mean every damn word of it."
Clark leaned back in his chair
and looked at inky Sanborn. Here
was an unexpected ally who might
prove to be Of incalculable benefit.
And, on the other hand, if allowed
to proceed unbridled, he might
prove to be a grave liability.
"I'll tell you what I'll do" he
finally said. "If you will give me
your word that you won't involve
any Of my colleagues or myself in
a scandal I'll play ball"

SYNOPSIS-Clark Griffith, deb
Onair liaisOn man for powerful pO-
htical forces, is attempting to win
Verda Trent from Moses Inter
est" CraddOck, ruthless and infiu-
entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of a friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to go to luncheon the follow
ing day. He has just called Verda
to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, OVerhears the telephone con-
versatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to lunch
with Clark, where, during the meal,
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
reopens her shop free from obliga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrying to
Verda with tickets for a prizetight,
is fired on with a machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's office
with a thinly-veiled accusal and a
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of a way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid il
fighting CraddOck, and finds thai
his faction is on the eve of a bittel
political struggle in which Grad
dock will be the OppOsitiOn's leader
among Negroes.
Clark and Verda decide to BIZ
married at once, SO they might bt
together during the bitter struggle
that is surely coming.
Clark opens an office adjacen
to the all-important Jazz Hollow
He is called upon there by 6
stranger who offers to deliver the
Hollow to Clark's party on election
day for a certain sum of money
Clark is amazed at the proposal.

Where can reach you?"
you can't. The less we ever
see of each other the better. I'll
work my way and you act like you
never heard from me. Don't open
any headquarters in the Hollow.
Don't make any explanations why.
Just lay low and look on. I'll
bring 'em home"
When do you want the money!"
To-day before p. m. Go to
Hobbs pool hall on Seventy-sixth
and Ohio and ask for Hobbs. He'll
be there. Give him the grand.
Then get the hell out of the Hollow
and stay out. Don't know any
thing, see anything, or listen to
anything. If your outfit don't
carry the Hollow there won't be
a cow in New Jersey. I'll meet you
after the election-three days after
at noon sharp-and you have the
rest of the dough ready. In cash.
I'll meet you then right here. So
long"
= After Inky had gone Clark won
dered if he had been a fool. If the
gambler could carry the Hollow,
$4,000 would be a cheap price for
the service. But could he? And
how? Somehow the memory of
the expression on the mans face
as he had told about the railroad
ing Of Charlie Timms presented a
reassuring picture. At any rate,
Clark thought, I've jumped in the
pool, so l might as well swim.
Nevertheless he decided to keep
close touch with future activities
in the Hollow.
He called a number and talked
long and earnestly with one "Shoe-
string" Johnson, a police stool
pigeon who he knew could be i'm,
plicitly trusted. He was to report
to Clark twice daily on any rumors
and unusual activities occurring in
the Hollow.
Proof of Inky Sanborn's sincerity
and ability was soon brought tc
Clark's attention. Shoe-string, after
calling for two days and inform
ing Clark that nothing untoward
had occurred in the Hollow, called
the morning of the third day in a
voice filed with excitement.
Boss, the stuff's here!"
"Yes? What's happened?" Clark
eagerly asked.
"You know 'Cold-Deck' Pete
Jackson?"
mo; who is he?"
well, he's Craddock's stooge in
the north end of the Hollow. He
runs the biggest policy wheel down
here, and handles Craddock's
strong arm men. Or I mean WAS
all them things"
you don't mean he has been
killed." Clark's voice carried an
xiety. He didn't want it >too
rough if it could be helped.
Nav, he amt dead, but I'll bet
he wished to hell he was. He was
coming out of his place last night
when four guys-so he claims
jumped him and damn near
knocked his head off. 1 guess they
worked him over like hamburger
steak, cause he won't be around
again for about six weeks. l hear
he's stove in in about a doben
places. He was one of the few
guys down here Craddock trusted
and him being out amt going to
do the shyster no good, believe
mel"
Laid up, eh?"
"And how. But that amt all,
boss, either. One of them chippy
houses over on Pine Street enter
tanned two strangers last night and
the strangers didn't like the enter
tainment. They busted loose and
wrecked the place and left before

OPINION GIVEN ON UNDERTAKERS' BILL
Attorney Generals Office Rules on State Payments
 of SlOO For Expenses

An opinion today by Attorney General Edward J. Daly on the "undertakers' bill' of the old age assistance enactment will, according to Welfare Commissioner Frederic c. Waicott, save $l44,0oo yearly for the needy aged of tn" state.
 In reality the opinion, written by Assistant Attorney General Richard P. Corkey, giving Commissioner Walcott the right to use discretion in passing on undertakers' bills for funeral expenses of the 1900 or more old age assistance beneficiaries who die within a year.
 The "undertakers' bill" which was enacted by the general assembly of 1887 was designed to insure state payment of $i00 for every funeral of an old age assistance beneficiary. The opinion permits use Of the word may" in the act. instead of the present word, "shall".
 The bill that was adopted says:
 Upon the death of a beneficiary, the sum of one hundred dollars shall be ordered paid by the bureau of old age assistance as an allow ance toward the funeral expenses of such deceased person and, in ad- dition thereto. & sum not exceeding twenty-five dollars shall be paid by the bureau of old age assistance for the cost of a burial lot and the opening of the grave"
 Previous court cases are quoted extensively by MT. Corkey in his opinion which says, 1t is not logical or consistent that in the case ot a living beneficiary the aid granted should be measured in terms of need. and that in the case of Q deceased beneficiary an allowance for fun- eral expenses should Do made rec gardless of need"
