He slipped an arm about ber waist is' he spoke, awkwardly' seeking to atone for his recent anger. The sec retary looked at them for an Instant, then said briefly: "You can tell blm, Cynthia. He's a good fellow. Come on, alderman. 1 think you and I still have something to say to each other." Cynthia and Perry drifted away to ward the conservatory again, quite ob livious of the others, while Phelan and siuimhiM maHa thai, tn a 'I n- ivimlon turned. For . . . nfr ,h. hniimnm "I've been looking all over for you, Mr. Bennett," called Judge Newman, hurrying out through tbe.chaln of ante rooms as Alwyn wandered out of the ballroom Into the foyer a few moments later. "Anything Important?" asked Ben nett, pausing in bis stroll and greeting the older man cordially. He had known the Judge as long ns he could remem ber and had always bad n decided lik ing for the pompous henpecked little dignitary. Surrounded as he was by political Intrigue, heartache and asso ciation with rogues, the harassed young man rather welcomed the variety prom ised by a chat with his old friend of his boyhood. "Anything Important, Judge?" he re peated. "Or are you Just taking pity on a lonely chap and giving hliu a chance to chat with you over old times?" "Well," began the judge, his custom- 1 ary nlr of pom- pous nervous ness tinged by an almost co n c 1 1 latory manner. "I would like to have a little business talk with you If yon don't in I ml dis cussing woyk at a ball." "Not at all. I've had the honor of danc ing with three of your daugh ters this even He slipped an arm iiooiif her walit n he spoke. ing, and the least I can do is to repay such pleasure by" "Did you, really?" beamed the Judge, on whom the unmarried state of his four fast aging girls rested heavily. "I'm sure Mrs. Newman will be pleased. But this business matter. 7 lou, not ten mln- j You-you won't misunderstand me"- "Of course not," replied Alwyn hoart I lly. "You and I are too old friends. Judge, to" "I hope so; I hope so," conceded New man, with growing anxiety In bis tone. "You see" "I see you have some trouble coming to the point," said Alwyn, pitying the I Judge's evident discomfiture, "and I'm ! sorry you feel so. You were my fa ther's friend, and I like to think of you lomp'ny xII jure be 0De of my own Dest fr'CDds' Tnere uuyining in my power to grant. Thus emboldened Newman blurted out: "I we that Is, seems to me you have been a little hard upon this Bor- !ough franchise bill, if you don't mind j my saying so, Bennett Couldn't you let up on them now?" I "Why, no, judge, I can't," replied ! Bennett, still falling to connect New jman with the Walnwrlght-Horrigan clique and attributing the Judge's In i terest in the mntter to an amateur's love of dabbling In politics. "I can't let up on that fight." he continued. "All perpetual franchises are wrong, and i flce would compel a certain respect this particular franchise bill is rotten ; eTen wtu a man of Bennett's charnc to the core.

The public for whom you sacrifice yourself will forget you In a month. Capital and politics never forget." "I am not catering to the nubile.

If you do this I am authorized to promise you now, listen to promise you the nomination for governor when your term as" "That's the bait, is Itr cried Alwyn nngrlly. "If I consent to betray my trust I'll get the governorship. The bribe Is golden, and I don't wonder at norrlgan for offering It. The only thing that surprises me Is that be should have chosen such a man as you for bis lackey and go-between." "'Lackey!' 'Bribe!' 'Go-between P " echoed the Judge In real Indignation. "How dare you, sir? This" "Isn't It a bribe," Insisted Alwyn, "and weren't you the man chosen to offer It? It will do you no good to bluster or grow Indignant. In your heart you know the words I used were deserved. The governorship offer was a bribe, pure and simple, and worthy the modern highwaymen who made it, but that you, a Judge a former friend of my own blameless father that you should come to me on such a vile er rand turns me sick. Heaven help jus tice and right when our judges cnu be controlled by a political boss and a roll of bills! That's all! I dou't care to go further Into the subject!" Bennett walked away, leaving the lit tle judge to stare after blm, pink with wrath, speechless with amazement. In all bis sixty years no man had thus laid bare to Newman his own heart, stripped of Its garments of respecta bility and self deception. And, as usu at In such cases, now tlurt the truth had been driven home to him. Newman wrathfully denounced it, even to him self, as a lie. Still flushed and Incoherent, he wheel ed to face n trio who were Just return ing from the supper room. They were Dallas, Gibhs and Walmvrlght. "Hello!" exclaimed Wainwrlght In surprise. "What's the matter with you. Judge? Are you III?" "If If .Mrs. Newman should come to know of this," sputtered the Judge, glaring from one to the other, "she" "To know of what?" queried Glbbs. "What has happened?" "Happened?" fumed Newman. "I have been Insulted grossly, vulgarly Insulted!" ' "Insulted, judge?" repeated Dallas. "By whom?" "By Alwyn Bennett!" snapped the Judge. "Outrageously" "Impossible!" exclaimed Dallas. "There must be a mistake somewhere. Mr. Bennett Is too well bred to Insult any man, much less a man so much older than" "A gentleman, is he? I should not have believed It. He has Insulted mo most" "I'm not surprised," observed Wain wrlght "I am," announced Dallas. "Naturally." sneered Wainwrlght "If you can remain on speaking terms with him after his abominable treatment of me you can easily overlook any other brutality of his." "Tell us nbout It Judge." interposed Glbbs. seeking to avert any further clash between uncle and niece. "I went to him," began Newman, "bearing a request from from" The Judge paused. It was not whol ly easy to present matters to this hon est eyed young girl In such a way as to bring her In his way of thinking. But Wainwrlght felt no difficulty. His shrewd brain caught at a means of turning the affair to account. "You see, Dallas," the financier broke In, with a warning glance to Newman, "I begged the Judge to Intercede for me with Bennett, to ask him to bury the hntchet and let us be friends again fnt. Hio miitR of old times. I thought j jurtee Newman's age and his high of- tile other. "Judge my uncio sem juu to make overtures of peace?

"He must Ov some motive behind it all. I can't" "Nonsense:" exclaimed Dallas. ' What ulterior motive could ho have?" "That Is iiore tliau 1 know positive ly," returned the judge mysteriously. "But I do," declared Wainwrlght, pointing at Dallas. "There are the rea sons!" "I?" exclaimed Dallas. Incredulous. "Explnln, please." "Willingly." replied her uncle, "if you'll give me a fair hearing. Heunett Is In love with you. He knows Glbbs also wish es to marry you. He knows, too, that Glbbs' for tune depends on the success of the Borough franchise. If the bill Is beaten, Glbbs will be practically ruin ed and thus In no position to marry. We've known all along of this reason "Hou, dare v. sir f " ' T ' "r ' " but Glbbs for bade me to tell you. He was afraid you might think he" "I don't believe one word of It!" cried Dallas, her big eyes ablaze. "Alwyn Bennett could not stoop to such a thing." "No?" sold Wainwrlght "Then you probnbly will refuse to be'.leve what I am about to tell you now. 1 consider ed Borough stock a safe Investment, and I put all your money and Perry's In It Bennett knows this, and In spite of the knowledge be Is trying to kill' the franchise even on the certainty of beggaring you and Perry along with Glbbs. If only he can ruin Glbbs he cares nothing nbout making you nnd Perry paupers too. That Is t!e i sort of man you are defending against your own uncle. I have Just learned be sides thnt ho has secretly, through his brokers, sold large blocks of Borough stock short. Thus his veto thnt ruins us will make him a very rich man." "It Isn't true!" affirmed Dallas In dogged certainty. "Mr. Gfobs, do you con linn this story of my uncle's?" "Please leave me out of fills, Miss Wainwrlght," answered Glbbs gently. "I prefer to say nothing to prejudice you. When I fight I tight fnirV' "Even at the cost of all your money." amended Wainwrlght. "Glbbs, this Is carrying your sense of honor to an ab surd point And Bennett will" "Pardon me," broke In Alwyn, enter ing the foyer and going up to Dallas. "I'm a little late for our dance. I was detained by" "Alwyn!" exclajmed Dallas In relief. "I'm so glad you came here just when you did. Now we can clear this up In a word." i "Clear what up?" queried Bennett glancing nbout In suspicion at the three silent men. "You. know Mr.' Glbbs Is favored In the Borough Street railway affair," be gan Dallas. "He told you so at your ofllce that day we were there. Well" "Y'es, but don't let's discuss business tonight," replied Bennett "This Is our dance, and" "Wait, please. You knew his fortune was largely tied up In Borough stock, Cfwirlc IPotnuTiyht, but here la something you didn't know. My uncle suys my money und Perry's Is nil Invested ill that stock nnd that If you defeat the bill we will be depend ent on Mr. Walnwrlght's churlty. If that Is true, you didn't know It, did you?" Her voice was almost tremulous In Its eager, confident appeal, but Bennett forced himself to answer: "Yes; it Is true, and I knew it." The eager glow died from her eyes, leaving a look of dawning horror. "And, knowing this knowing Perry and I shall be made paupers by your action you still Insist on" "On opposing the bill? Yes. I am sorry, but It Is my duty." "Duty!" sneered Wainwrlght. "Your 'duty' was done when you vetoed the bill. That uct made your position clear and shower? the public how you regarded tlnomeasure, so why go on fighting It after" "I won't discuss this with you, Mr. Wainwrlght," Interrupted Bennett "We already understand one another, you nnd I." "My undo enys." pursued Dnllns, "that you made your broker secretly sell Borough stock short, knowing the deal would enrich you. Won't you even deny this?" an, No." " "You realize what all ihls f.wilish stubbornness must mean to me to nil of us," continued Dallas,' "and you still 1 persist In your opposition?" i "I must," said Bennett. "I can't turn back. Oh, Dallas." he added, dropping 1 his voice till none but she could hear, ', can t you trust ine-onlv till Frl.lavV I'll come to y.iu mi Saturday morning I and tell you li,. whole miserable M.irv. I only ask you to wait until tlien. Please" "I see no nceil of waiting for no ei- planatiou." retorted Dallas aloud. "1 understand everything." "But you don't understand!" Insisted Alwyn. "I" "I understand only too well." renent- ed Dallus. Chocking his renlv and Ig noring the anguished appeal In his eyes, she turned to Glbbs. "I have kept you waiting long for your answer, Mr. Glbbs." she said, speaking In a level, firm, emotionless voice. "I am n.-enared to i-lve It to you now nilbllclv. You have .flin asked me If I would lie your wife. My reply Is, 'Yes.' " 'Dallas!" gasped Bennett In horrified surprise. (Continued Next. Friday.) What Shall W Have for Dessert?
