"Po you mean," broke In Dallas,
"that Mr. Bennett can really have such
an effect on the stock market?"
"That and more." Clibbs assured her.
"Why, the more rumor that ho meant
to veto the Borough's franchise bill has
sent the stock tumbling eight points
since the markot opened today."
"What power for one man!" ex

surprise. "And are you going to veto

"But why?" queried Dnllas, forestall

"Because,", cut In Olhbs before Ben

backing the Borough bill arc tho men
who niiulo him mayor. It wouldn't bo

"We have a great deal of the stock,

nett, you enn mako mo or break mo. I
placo myself in your hands."
"I seo you are taking n most unfair
advantage of mo, Mr. Ulbbs." retorted
Alwyn, with some bent. "You have no

Glbbs, with a shrug of his broad shoul

That Ib past. We must forget It.
You are awake now."
"Forget It? Not for worlds. I owe
all my success to you, Dallas, It' was
your face that strengthened me when
there seemed no hope. It was the
j memory of your words that kept ine
! brave and made me resolve to win
I against all odds. You were my In-
Bpirntlon, the light in my darkness. At
j each step I thought 'Dallas would bo

cordingly to victory."
"No, no!" murmured tho girl. "It
was your own courage, your strength"-
Not mine. It was your faith In inc.
Do you know, I think no man ever ac
complishes anything by himself. There
Is always a woman, I think, behind
every great achievement. The world
at large does not see her does not
know of her existence but she's In the
heart of the man who Is making the
fight. He battles In her name as did
the knights of old, nnd tho triumph Is
hers, not his. Whether bis reward Is
the crown of love or tho crown of
thorns, she Is the Inspiration."
"Then If I bad a share In your suc

Despite Bennett's n-inonslranees sho
was II rm. and It was In no pleasant
frame of mind that the mayor throw
himself Into a seat when lie was left
alone In the room. That the talk with
Jiallns, which
had promised so 11111011""' " ' ,'" "'
for him, should lie thus rudely Inter-:
rupttHl. That Horrlgan Hung open;
the door nnd stauiiH-d in. The boss 1
auger had by no means tnhsidrd In
the few moments of delay, but had,
rather, grown until It vibrated In his
every word and gesture, lie wasted i
no time In formalities, but came to '
the point with all the tender grace and
tart of a pile driver.
"Look lint'. Bennett," he rumbled,
menace underlying tone and look, "I'm
told Phehiu's kern ken' tltlt) afternoon.
What did he want?"
"To see nit." niiswtfwa' IVnnett calm
ly, the effort nt srlf control visible !
only In the whitening of the knuckles i
that gripped the desk edge. j
"What did he want tosivyoj u bout 7"
"A business matter."
"What business matter?" i
"Mine."
"Yours, eir;" sneered Horrlgan. I
"Well, young num. I want yoivto un- !
detslau l hrre nnd now Hint no one
rti.i be chummy with J I in I'lielan and i
r J!
wmm
lie my man at the samo time. Got that
through your head?"
"Yes,V assented Bennett; "I think I
bare. And while we're speaking plain
ly I want you to understand here and
uow that no one can bully me, either
here or elsewhere, and that I'm no
man's man. Have you got that through
your heud?"
Ilorrlgun stared In savage amaze
ment, lie doubted If his ears had not
played him false. Bennett had always
treated the boss with uniform cour
tesy, nnd Ilorrlgnn belonged to the
too numerous class who do not under
stand until too into the difference be
tween gentle breeding nnd weak cow
ardice. That u man should speak to
li I in courteously and not interlard his
talk with oaths, obscenity .or rough
ness seemed to Horrlgan, as It doeB to
,llny another boor, un evidence of tl-
mldity aiid lack of virility.' A Damas
cus blade Is a far more harmless look
ing weapon than a bludgeon, yet It Is
capable when the necessity arises of
fur deadlier work.
It 1b billy the man whose gentleness
has not granite strength as Its founda
tion who deserves the newly popular
term of "mollycoddle."
Had Horrlgnn'B large experience
with men been extended to embrace
this fact he would probably never have
picked out Alwyn Bennett In the first
place as candidate' for mayor nor
deemed the younger man a fit tool for
tho organisation's crooked work. The
French nobles of the old regime, whose
polish of manner was the envy of the.
world, fought like devils on occasion -and
wont 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 scream
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,
ha resolved to crush the rebellion at a
blow. '
"Don't give the any insolence!" he
ronrcd. "I won't stand for It, nnd"
"Moreover," quietly continued Ben
nett, as though the boss had not
spoken, "I Bhall be very much obliged
If In future you will knock at my door
Instead of bursting In on me, This Is
my prlvnto otllee. not yours." .,
"Do you mean to"
"I've explained as clearly as I can
Just what 1 mean. If you don't under
stand mo I can't supply .you with In
telligence." "Boniieit," said tho boss, his burn
ing, rage stendled down to n white
heat, fur more dangerous, but less In
coherent, "you and mo are talking too
much and Baying too little. We've got
to Come to a showdown. You're a clev
er boy and you made n rattling Rdod
fight, and you're on the right teWo of
tho public and of tho press too. You're
the best material we've got, and If you
try nnd do tho right thing there's no
limit to what yon Win Hbc to but only
If you do the right thing."
" Tho right thing,' " echoed Bonnott
"What do Vou mean by tho right
thing?"
"1 ihenn you've got to do the right
thing by the men who put you where
you nre today."
"That's fair. But who 'put mo where
I nm today?' "
"I did I, Dick Ilorrlgnn! Who ever
heard of you till I took yon up? No
body, if I d dn t make you mayor.

You did. But It wns the public who

to pay the voters for their trust in nie
by giving them a fair nnd square ad

before him on his desk, "before I sign

"As for this I '.orou,':'.i bill," broke in
lIorrlg:iu so .1 g.'ly, "you'll i It. H

I ".V!I?" queried Bennett, as the boss
pnu.eil. choked by 1:1s own fury. "'II'
I I do.rt sign It -what then?"
"If you don't, your political career Is
ended from ihls time on. See? It's
ended. Suiasiird tint. You think of

"I paid my own election expenses.

"Your imtsoiiuI expenses, perhaps.
But who p:i: 1 for parades, halls, ban

ments, workers and watchers and all
the other trillion tl.Oigs that elected
1 you? The men behind that Borough
I bill puid tilt-in. And they did it on the
understanding you'd sign the bill."
"In other words," remarked Ben
nett, "you made a bargain for me.
Well. I can't keep It."
"Oil, I'll keep it all right. You'll
sign that bill or you'll"
"Mr. Horrlgan," exclulnied Bennett,
controlling bis temper with more and
more difficulty, "you said something
Just now about our coming to a show
down. This Is the time for it I want
you to remember henceforth that 1
wear no man's collar yours or any
one else's and that you can't deliver
any goods you've bargained for in nfy
name. If I sign that bill It won't be
under your orders, but because f thluk
It right."
"Oh," laughed Horrlgan, who thought
be began to sec the drift of the oth
er's nilnd, "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
yourseir 1 -.aqtilred Alwyn. "Do you
consider it honest?"
"What do I cure? 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"
"If you put It that way, yes. I think
this Borough bill Is crooked from first
to lastj But" 1-
"What's the matter with It? Ain't"
"Lot me explain," pursued Alwyn.
"This bill gives the Borough Street
Railway "company the right to use
whatever motive power they choose to.
It gives them the right to charge five
cent fares without any transfers. In
one paragraph there's a clause permit
ting them to build a subway if tbey
want one. By another paragraph's con
cessions tbey can build a conduit and
leuse.lt out for telephone or telegraph
wires. By another tbey can do an ex
press business, But all these provl
Ious "are" as nothing "compared to the
fact that the bill gives the streets
above and below ground to the Bor
ough company forever and ever not
for a term of years, but until the end
of tho world. It delivers that route to
the company not only for our time, but
for always, and binds us and our' de
scendants to Its terms. That Is tho
chief outrage 9f the whole thing. To
think that the"r
"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 tho name of the
capitalist who wrote It, Y'ou know ho
is noncst ns wen as wise. This is his
proposition: He will pay $2,000,000 tot
that- same franchise, give tile clly 10
per cent of the gross receipts and turn
over tho whole plant to It at the end
of fifty years. .. What do you .think of
that?"
"T'Ob u fiike."
v'lt Is a bona' fldo offer. He volun
teers to deposit $1,000,000 to bind the
bargain. Now, what 1 waut Jto ask
you, Mr. Horrlgan. Ib this: If the fran
chise Is worth J2.000.000, why are you
and your faction in the board of alder
men so anxious to give it away for
nothing?"-
"Look here!" blustered the boss.
"I"-
"I nm 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."
"Graft!" snorted Horrlgan contemptu
ously. "The same, old reformer howl!
What's your idea of graft anyway?"
"Graft Is unearned Increment. Money
to which the recipient bus no legal or
moral right. That Is"

The dire straits Into which the
prohibition vote in Oregon counties
has thrown the saloon men and
wholesale liquor dealers, is shown in
many striking ways, and commer
cially the sudden change will be ruin
ous to many.
Many liquor salesmen will be
forced to abandon large territories
which theyjiow cover regularly, and
many second-handed fixtures and
stocks will go through bankruptcy
and bark Into the hands of the whole
sale houses. - .
The following Item from Lewlston
shows something of the agitated state
of the liquor business in Oregon and
also gives a hint of the' coming storm
In Idaho. The Item says:
Traveling salesmen representing
Portland liquor houses are Invading
the Lewlston territory' in an effort
to find a market for the billard and
pool tables and bar fixtures rendered
useless In Oregon by tho recent
election. Lewiston dealers have been
offered new fixtures or pool tables
at their own price, hut with a local
option question before the people of
Idaho, none of the dealers feel like
adding more equipment.
It is intimated that at least 500
billiard and pool tables and 100 first
class bar furnishings have been put
out of business in Oregon and Port
land dealers predict the entire state
will be dry within five years.
