ly I want you to underatand here and
now that no one can bully me, either
here or elsewhere, and that I’m no
man's man. Have you got that through
your head?”
Horrlgan stared In savage amaze­
ment. He doubted If hla cars had not
played him false. Bennett had always
treated the boss with uniform cour-
tasy, and Horrlgan belonged to tbe
too numerous class who do not under­
stand until too late the difference be­
tween gentle breeding nnd weak cow-
srdiee. That a man should speak to
hlin courteously and not interlard his
talk with oaths, obscenity or rough­
ness seemed to Horrlgan. as it dys to
many another boor, an evidence of ti­
midity and lack of virility. A Damas­
cus blade Is a far more harmless look­
ing weapon than a bludgeon, yet it Is
ca[«ble when the necessity arises of
far deadlier work.
It is only the man whose gentleness
baa not granite strength as its founds
tion who deserves the newly popular
term of "mollycoddle.”
Had Horrlgau's large experience
with men ls*<*u pxtended to embrace
this fact he would probably never have
picked out Aiwyn Bennett in the first
place ns candidate for mayor nor
deemed the younger man a fit tool for
the organization's crooked work. The
French nobles of the old regime, whose
polish of mnnner was the envy of the
world, fought like devils on occasion
and went to death on the scaffold with
a smile and a Jest on their lips, while
many a brutal demagogue in the same
circumstances broke down and aoream-
ed for mercy. However. Horrlgan
chanced to be more familiar with the
history of the organization than with
that of France; hence, deeming Ben­
nett’s reply a mere sporadic flash of
defiance from a properly cowed spirit,
he resolved to crush the relielllon at a
blow.
"Don't give me any Insolence!" he
roared. “I won’t stand for ft, and"—
"Moreover,” quietly continued Ben­
nett, ns though the boss had not
spoken, "I shall tie very much obliged

"Do you mean to”—
"I’ve explained as clearly as I can
jnst what I mean. If you don't under­
stand me I can't supply you with In­
telligence."
“Bennett.” said the boss, his burn­
ing rage steadied down to a white
beat, far more dangerous, but less In­
coherent, "you and ma are talking too
much and saying too little. We've got
to come to a showdown. You're a clev­
er boy and you made a rattling good
fight, and you're on the right side of
the public and of the press too. You're
the liest material we've got, and If you
try and do the right thing there's no
limit to what you can rise to—but only
If you do the right thing.”
" The right thing.' " echoed Bennett.
"What do you menu by the right
thing?"
"I mean you’ve got to do the right
thing by th«* meu who put you where
you lire today."
"That's fair. Rut who 'put me where
I aiu today?”'
"I did I. lHck Horrlgan. Who ever
heard of you till I took you up? No
lusty. If I didn't make you mayor,
who did. I’d like to know?"
"The voters.
The people of this
city."
“The voters." scoffed Horrlgan. 'The
deuce they «lid! Who had you noml-
im tad?”
“You did. But It wns the public who
elected nie. snd I'm going to obey
your orders In one thing. I'm going to

“Ob. I'll keep it all right You'll

“Oh," laughed Iiorrigan. who thought
he began to see the drift of the oth­
er’s mind, “I don’t hold out for that. I
don't care why you sign it as long as
you do sign it.”
"What do you think about the bill
yourself?" Inquired Aiwyn. “Do you
consider it honest?"
“What do I care? It's got to be
signed, and"—
"I care. And I think the bill is
fraudulent.”
“Getting tender in the conscience,
,* aren't you? Well”—
J “If you put It that way, yes. I think
this Borough bill is crooked from first
to last. But”—
"What's the matter with it? Ain't"—
“I»et me explain,” pursued Aiwyn.
"Thia bill gives the Borough Street

It gives them the right to charge five

one paragraph there'i a clause permit­

cessions they can build a conduit and
lease it out for telephone or telegraph
wires. By another they can do an ex­
press business. But all these provi­
sions are as nothing compared to the
fact that the bill gives tbe streets
above and below ground to the Bor­
ough company forever and ever—not
for a term of years, but until the end
of the world. It delivers thnt route to
the company not only for our time, but
tor always, and binds us and our de-
«cendants to Its terms. That Is the
chief outrage of the whole thing. To
think that the’’—
"Oh, we’ve got a howling reformer
in the mayor’s seat, have we?” scoffed
Horrlgan. "if I'd known that”—
"The people have got a man who is
trying to protect their rights and prop­
erty. Here's a letter I received to­
day. You'll recognize the name of the
capitalist who wrote It. You kuow he
is honest as well as wise. This is bis

"It’s a fake."
"It la a tema fide offer. He volun-

nothing?”
“Look here!" blustered the boss.

“I am looking.” returned Bennett.
"I've been looking deeper into it than
you realize. I asked you a question
just now. I'll answer it myself in
one word—'Graft!' That is why you
want to give away a franchise that Is
worth »2.000.000.”

ously. "The same old reformer howl!
