Cling out of your hands and passing It
i;i spite of you." , ;'
"I doubt it," answered Bennett, pnl
l"g, but meeting coolly the flery wrath
l:i Ilorrlgan's little red eyes. "I Intend
to fight your Borough bill In the alder
t.iaulc chnuibcr and outside that coun
cil. To pass a bill over my vuto you'll

moans fourteen votes. You have only
your 'solid thirteen.' And I'll make it
i.iy business to Beo you don't get a
fourteenth vote."
"I'll look out for tliat, all right, all
i Ight."
"One thing more, Mr. llorrigan. I
I ave reason to believe there Is bribery
I I this matter'. I'll ferret out the name
of every man who gives or takes a
tribe lu connection with the Borough
franchise hill, and I'll send every one
nf them to Jail not only the aldermen,
I tit the capitalists who are behind tho
Measure. Itecclver and thief shall go
to Jail together."
"Is that so?" chuckled llorrigan.
"Then, Mr. Ucformer, let me tell you
who Is really behind this wholo affair,
(he man you'll have to Jail first of all,
r Ir. Charles Wnlmvrlght, uncle of the
Irl you're trying to marry."
Ho leaned back, to note tho effect of
Ids revelation, ., but Bennett's face
Moved no muscle, gnvo no hint of what
Icy beneath. .
"Besides," went on llorrigan, eager
tj press his advnntnge, "every cent
of Miss Wain

and of her broth

"'' '"'"-'i""'- ,1.. as you like."
It was llnnlgnu's trump card, and
he had played It well. While, si
lent, Bennett walked back to his
desk. The light seemed all knocked
out of him. Heavily he moved, like a
man overcxhnusted. Picking up a pen,
lie wrote rapidly, then cast aside the
pen, crossed to the window and burked
out Into the snowy, crowded park.
"You've signed the Id I IV" cried llnr
tignn in delight,
"I've vetoed It," replied Bennett.
CHAPTER VII.
"r-r-llE boss Is turned down!"
I This startling news flew
I lightning fast to every qmtrlcr
A of the orgaulrjitlon and In its
wake spread a trail of Incredulous
iimnKe. Every member, from n Merman
lo "heeler," knew why llorrigan had
made Bennett mayor. That the hitler
should turn against Ills benefactor
seemed not only black Ingratitude, but
something O g lo Insanity, for It V
pnrt'iitly pelted political suicide tor
the young mini.
While neither of the dlsputanO had

repented the details of the quarrel, yet
those details with many another were
already passing from mouth to month
In the mysterious fashion whereby the
closest kept secrets are divulged and
enlarged on. In the llnanclal world,
too, the veto came as a bombshell.
Borough Street railway slock fell with
a thud that shook more than one colos
sal fortune. Bennett central point of
the whole upheaval was the calmest
man of all who were Involved. He bad
chosen his course, and lie was follow
ing It with a dogged quiet far more
dangerous than any loud mouthed blus
ter. He had laid out a campaign.- and
that campaign lie rigidly fo'lowetl.
Ills Mist step was to send for Perry
Walnu Tlithl early In the morning fol
lowing the clash wi'h llorrigan ami.
under strict pledge of secrecy., to ex
plain the whole complicated affair to
that very bewildered young man.
"You're all right, Alwyn! VotiVe all
the goods!" crowed Perry In genuine
admiration. "Hut why didn't you
backheel llorrigan and throw him
downstairs?",
,"I .think I dlcU' said Bennett dryly.
"I think I'm still doing It. That's why
I sent for you today."
"Want me to lick blm for you?" ask
ed Pcrry.Ui delight "He's a bit over
my weight, but I wouldn't mind past
ing" :
"No,"' Interrupted Bennett, amused
at the lad's vehemence. "I -want you
to play the melodramatic brother' and
protect your Bister."
"Saysnorted Perry,.. all the- light
ness JfoSe "but"bf his manner and his
young frame stiffening ominously,,
"d'you mean to say the cur Is framing
up any game on Dallas? I"
"Bit down," ordered Alwyn, "and try
to use what lltWe human intelligence
you may have: I've got to have your
help, and what use are you when all
you can think of Is getting thrashed by
somebody? Sit down now and listen
to mo." '.
Perry meekly obeyed the new -note
of command In his friend's voice, and
Bennett resumed: ;
"Your uncle has tried to hamper me
by putting all your fortuno nud.Dnllas'
Into Borough Street railway stock.
The news of my veto will reach the
exchange almost at once. That -will
cause a slump. In Borough stock. If
llorrigan falls to carry .the bill through
over my head and he will fall If I can
possibly block him that will mean the
practical collapse of tho stock. It will
that you and Dnllas will be al- I
most penniless."
"Well," suggested Perry cheerfully,
"then you can marry Dallas, and little
brother Perry can voiue and live with
you. Don't worry, old chap. I"
"Shut up, you young idiot, and sit
down and listen! Here's a check; nlso
a noto of Introduction to my broker.
Ho's n close mouthed fellow, and he'll
keep the secret I want you to Bell
Borough stock short to the amount
of"-
"To speculate? Gee! I never
thought"
"I don't believe In speculation as a
rule, but this time It's the only way
out. Sell short. Then If the bill Is de
feated you ami Gladys will still be as
well off as you are now, eveu after
paying me back this sum I've advanc
ed. If the bill is passed over my head,
the stock will boom, and you'll both be
richer than ever. Understand the Idea?
I think I've arranged It so you and
she won't lose a dollar In either case."
"Alwyn." cried Perry, the full Idea
I at last penetrating his youthful bniln.V
I "you're the whitest ever. The"
"Hold ou! 1 do this on one condi
tion." "Oh!!'
"On condition you promise solemnly
that neither Dallas nor nny one else
shall know my share In It."
"But"
"Promise!"
"Oh, well, nil right, then. But Dal
las might to"
No, she oughtn't. Now clear out.
I'lti busv. Don't wast. any time going
to mv broker. I'm holding back the
otllclal announcement of the veto as
long as I can. But"
"I'm on. So long, old chap. Enter

timely tremble!"
Scarce had Perry departed on bis
mission when Phelan was nnnoimccd.

"I congratulate yon on your secret ! erts of the Third. He's the alderman

"No, I didn't. I come lo tip yon nit to

"No. I am unfortunate in having no

"Never mind," returned rhela'u, on
whom the satire of the reply was quite
lost. "You cun get the benefit of mine.
Now, at this lneetln' they did a lot of
Jabborin' an' they cussed you up hill
an' down dale. Says llorrigan, 'If that
young cub' "
.."Thanks."' Interposed Alwyn, "but I
don't. enru to bear what was said about
me, I"
i'All right, then, but there's some
thing you do want to hoar. They got
busy at last an' framed up a new word-
Perry IPatiwrloht.
In' for the Borough bill that'll maybe
throw dust In your eyes If you ain't put
on to It In advance. They've cut out
the subway paragraph an' the express
business clause, an' they allow trans
fers at all ci'obs linos. Thnt's the way
they'll put tho bill up to the aldermen
next time. A nice, harmless lookiu'
document it'll be, an' perhaps the board
' swaller it if"-
But do the alterations in the bill
also eliminate the 'perpetual franchise'
ClllllSO?" i
"Ah. there's the point! They don't.
A il the other things you kicked against
have beeti wiped out. but the 'perpetual
franchise' clause stands."
"Aik the S2.000.000 cash ofTer stands,
too," added Bennett.'"! still fall to' see
why I should present Mr. Wnlnwrlght's
company with a franchise for whlcli
another man Is willing to pay the city
$2,000,000. and I shall fight the bill to
the very end."-
"Oood boy. your honor! An' .lltiimy
Phelnn's with you. We'll make llorri
gan look like" .
"He needs fourteen votes to carry
the bill past my veto. He fins his thir
teen aldermen, under Williams' lead.
But only those thirteen voted for the
bill In Its original state. Unless llorri
gan and Williams can find a fourteenth
alderman to"
"Unless one of the men who voted
against It before can ive brought to
tote for It next time llorrigan loses."
answered Phelan. "He'll make it his
business to buy n fourteenth man. an'
I'll niake it my business to llnd out
who lie 'tries to get an' to belli your
honor keep tliat same fourteenth man
straight. ' That's how It adds up so far.
Well, I'll he Joggln'. I'll keep you post
ed, an' between us we'll make llorri
gan give a llvln' picture imitation of a
man without a scalp before we re
through with him."
Little of Phcluu's exultation was ro-
Heeled In the new mayor's face as the
alderman bustled qut. Ills duty lay
clear before him. and that duty he
would follow. But lie alone realized
llll -l,s- "' ''l counted on the

"Y'ou don't seem very fond of Mr.

Tonight I can't speak as I want to,

"That's the same old fighting spirit

struck."
"It has been struck!' he acquiesced,

But fate In the dual guise of Honi
