Although she was bis older sister
great big burly Barney watched ovei
her wltb an Interest that can only lx
described a* fatherly.
She was very proud of him and took
a keen Interest In all of his struggles
and the battles of his gang When
Red’s followers made their raids lute
Barney'« territory, she often took a
hand In the fray herself. A large part
of the dislike iu which Barney wa»
held by the Ryan street gang wa*
shared by hl* slater. She was rathet
proud of being placed on the same
level as a combatant with her brother,
"Ef Red McGanu ever catches me."
she frequently said, wltb an air of su
perlorlty to other girls in Butterick
place, "he will punch tay face In de
same as he would Barney’s."
And the listener would iuwardly re
gret that she was uot privileged tv
have a leader as a brother.
It was during Red's fifteenth ti ne
meut bouse summer that Jim Slattery
first apiH'itreil In Butterlck place Jim
who was the sensation of the hour
Jim.'the h i-o of many prizefights,
whow picture in a combative attitude
had adorned the pages of Tbe Gazette.
All Ryan street was sad and depressed
at the thought of what au acquisition
Jim was to its rival.
Jim's acquaintance with Barney had
begun at some ringside. His was a
flashier type than Barney's. Ills rec
ord was In The Gazette. Barney ad
mired him Intensely. It was the height
of hfs ambition to Imitate him. Jim
was Installed as a sort of privy coun
ell to Butterlck place. He was recog
ntzed by nil of the gang as the king's
confidential adviser.
But. as often happens with royal fa
vorltes, there came a time when the
king wearied of a w ha (low behind lil«
throne.
"Who Is de leader of dis gang any
way?" Mid Barney, with an angry
start when tbe awakening came.
"Ef <11« t’ing keeps on. Butterick
place will have a Jim fer a leader in
stead of a Barney.”
First there was a coolness, followed
by u calm, In the rear of the saloon,
then a few nights later a fight to a tin
isli between Barney and Jim. They
bad decided to settle It in that way.
Tbe mill took place In the basement of
a tenement house. It lasted for nine
rnunda, when Barney, balteretl and
bleeding, succeeded In getting In a blow
on Jim's neck that felled him. When
he Anally crawled to his feet, defeated,
but defiant, he walked over to th» cor
ner where his antagonist was receiving
congratulations.
"You've licked m<*. Barney Muller,”
he said. "I leave de Bend tomorrow,
but you'll be sorry when I'm gone "
When Barney came home from his
work ou the docks the following even
ing. he realized tlie awful meaning of
the veiled threat. Maggie wasn't tli<*re
to meet him. Instead was a sealetl en
velope addressed to him iu a crude
cramped baud. Inside was a certificate
signed by Aldertuau Bernstein. It said
that the nhteruiau had ou Hull day
married Margaret Muller to James Slat
terv. Accompanying the certificate wa«
a note:
As he passed a doorstep where tbe
snow had not drifted so high as on
