Just now Dick Horrlgan happens to be
the 'shepherd' who can make them go
wherever he Bays."
"Shepherd and 'crook combined, I
should say." commented Glbbs, chuc
kling at his own feeble Joke.
"I wouldn't Jet a speech like that
get back to Horrlgan If I were you,"
returned Walnwright dryly. "Your
career might 'suffer. Nothing (except
may Ik?, gratitude! Is so bad as humor
for spoiling a man's chances In busi

than people think. But. speaking of
the election this fall, a reform wave

"And that's why I'm bringing them

"Yes. Horrlgan Is bos. He's fougM

the cause. Walnwright saw his niece
Pallas descending the stairs. Involun
tarily she hnlted as she reached the
threshold and saw Glbbs. Then, her
sense of hospitality triumphing over
Impulse, she came In' and greeted Iter
nnele's guest with sonjo show of cor
diality. "Kememlier, Pallas," said Wain
wright as he prepared to go Into his
olllce, "Glbbs Is here only for the day.
I count on you to make his holiday as
I pleasant as you can." He glanced cov
ertly ut Glbbs. who bad strolled to tho
window. Then the financier lowered
his voice and said rapidly:
"Please be nice to Glbbs for my sake,
Dallas. I do a great deal for you. and
I don't often ask anything In return."
He patted her on the shoulder with a
gesture meant to be affectlonato and
hurried Into the adjoining office.
Scarcely had the door closed when

the room to where Dallas stood and In

with a shade lesa confidence.

"Very much Indeed."

do, Miss Walnwright. I"
"You didn't wrlto It yourself, then?
