CHAPTER XI.
V T sound of tbe breaking fan all
/\ three participants In the
/\ strange reunion turned. For
A V a second or more they faced
the crimson faced, dumfounded Perry
without a word. Ilere was nn element
In the affair on which neither f'helau
nor Cynthia had counted when giving
Thompson their promise not to reveal
his Identity. They gradually realised
this, and It left even the ready wltted
Phelan speechless.
Perry himself was first to break the
spell. f
"Well," he observed, with an assump
tlon of alr.v scorn that was nieunt to
be annihilating, "you all seem quite
happy. Don't mind me! I'm sorry to
butt In on this cute little love fest, but
I left a fiancee here. Perhaps one of
3'ou can explain what's hapjtened to
her since I"?
"Oh, Perry," exclaimed Cynthia,
"don't be silly! I'll tell you all about
it some time. It Is"?
"Some time!" sqtiealed Perry, rage
battering down his attempt at sarcasm.
"Some time! Maybe It might be Just
as well If you did condescend to ex
plain. Here you promise to marry me,
and ten minutes later I find you In a
cateh-as-catch can hug with this ugly
little shrimp and Phelan looking on as
happy ns If he'd eaten a canary! And
then you've got the gall to tell me
you'll explain 'some time!'"
He glnred at Cynthia In all the inaj
esty of outraged devotion, only to sur
prise on that young .lady's face a look
that Indicated a violent struggle with
the desire to laugh.
"Tills Is funny all right, I guess not!"
he snapped. "Cynthia, you've mauled
and smashed a loving heart, and I'll
make a hit with myself by forgiving
you, but ns for you," wheeling ubout
and thrusting Ids furious face to with
in three Inches of Thompson's Immo
bile countenance?"as for you, I'm go
lng to do all sorts of things to you the
moment Miss Garrison will have the
kindness to shassay out of the room.
Your sorrowful relatives will have ail
manner of fun sorting you out when
I've finished with you! Steal my
sweetheart, would you. not ten min
utes after I'd"?
"There!" Interposed I'liMan, shoving
his powerful hulk good naturedly be
tween the two younger men and link
ing his urin lu Perry's. "Now you've
got quite a bunch of hot words off
your chest, an' you'll be In better shape
-to hear sense. Ain't you just a little
?JMt ashamed?"
"Ashamed?" sputtered Perry. "Who?
1? Well, that"
"Yes, you, youngster, and If you hoi
ler like that lu romp'ny I'll sure be
forced ? to wind up by spaukln' you.
JJow, stand off there?no, over there
where you can see Miss Garrison?an'
listen to me. So! Now, first of all,
did you happen to lie in love with this
.young lady?"
"It's none of your measly business,
?but 1 did."
"Why'd you ask her to hitch up with
you for keeps?"
"Because I loved her and"?
"Because you had a lot of faith In
her. too, hey?" persisted the alderman.
"Y'es, and a nice way she's"?
"Pretty %lrl, too," mused Phelan ns
if to himself. "In my young days if I
could 'a' got a little beauty like that
to sign articles with me I'd 'a' thought
I was the original Lucky Jim. I'd"?
"So did I!" Interrupted Perry hotly.
"J,.?
But Phelan was continuing In the
same abstract monologue:
"An' If 1 could 'a' seen from her
eyes (like any dough head could seo
from Miss Garrison's) that she had a
heart as big ns n watermelon an' ns
true as a Bible text an' us warm as a
happy man's hearth fire?well, If I'd
seen all that an' got wise to the gor
geous news that that same heart was
Just chock-a-block full of love for my
own ornery, cheap skate self I'd 'a'
flopped down on both knees an' sent
up a bunch of prayers to be allowed to
go on drcamln' an' never, never wake
up."
Phelan paused. This time Perry did
not break In, and the half audible mon
ologue continued:
"I'd have had the sense to know that
a girl with eyes like those couldn't be
a flirt an' couldn't double cross tbe
man she loved If her life depended on
her doin' It. I'd 'a' licked any guy that
said she could, an' If I'd seen her kiss
In' another man I'd 'a' punched myself
on the Jaw an' called myself a liar.
That's what Jimmy Phelan of the
Eighth would 'a' done. An' "?
"Say," broke In Perry In a curiously
subdued voice. 'These eyes of mine
do funny things sometimes. I'll bet $S)
they played a Joke on me Just now.
And even If they didn't I don't believe
'em. Cynthia, I'm dead stuck on you!
You're all right even If you did happen
to be acting a trifle eccentric a few
mint)ten ago. Yoil can explain or not,
as you like. If you'll Just say you love
tne. that's nee high with yours truly."
He slipped an arm about her waist
as 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 him, Cynthia. He'a a
good fellow. Come on. alderman I
tniim you and 1 still have something ]
to say to enoli other."
Cynthia and Perry drifted away to- I
ward the conservatory gain, quite ob
livious of the others, while I'helan and
the secretary made their way to a de
serted alcove off the hallrootn.
???????
"I've been looking nil over for you.
Mr. Bennett." called Judge Newman,
hurrying out through the chain of ante
:ooms us Alwyn wandered out of the
hallrootn Into the foyer a few moments
later.
"Anything important?" asked \Ben
nett, pausing In his stroll and greeting
the ohler man cordially, lie had known
tile Judge as long as he could remem
lier and had always had a decided lik
ing for the pompous hcniieckod little
dignitary. Surrounded as he was hy
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
Ills boyhood.
"Anything important, judge?" he re
peated. "Or are you Just taking pity
on a lonely chap and giving him a
chance to chat with you over old
times?"
"Well," begun the Judge, his custom
ury air 01 pom
pous nervous
ness tinged
by an almost
c o n c11iatory
m n a n er, "I
would like to
have a little
business talk
with you If you
don't mind dis
cussing work at
u ball."
"Not at all.
I've had the
/ Honor or unuc
lle slipped an arm lug with throe
about her waist as 0f your (laugh
he spoke. ters this eveu
Ing, and the least I can do Is to repay
such pleasure by"?
'?I)ld you, really?" beamed the judge,
on whom the unmarried state of his
four fast aglug girls rested heavily.
"I'm sure Mrs. Newman will be
pleased. But this business matter.
You?you won't misunderstand me"?
"Of course not," replied Alwyn heart
ily. "You and I are too old frleuds.
Judge, to"?
"1 hope so; 1 hoj>e so," conceded New
man, with growing anxiety In his tone.
"You see"?
"I see you have some trouble coming
to the point." said Alwyn. pitying the
Judge's evident dlseomflture, "and I'm
sorry you feel so. You were my fa
tiler's friend, and I like to think of you
as one of my own best frleuds. There
surely should be no hesitation in ask
ing anything in my power to grant."
Thus emboldened Newman blurted
out:
"|_we?that Is, seems to me you
have lieen a little hard upon this Bor
ough franchise bill. If you don't mind
my saying so, Bennett. Couldn't you
let up on them now?"
"Why, no, judge. I can't," replied
Bennett, still falling to connect New
man with the Walnwright Ilorrlgan
clique and attributing the Judge's In
terest In the matter to an amateur's
love of dabbling In politics. "I can't
let up on that tight," he continued. "All
I>erpottinl franchises are wrong, and
this particular franchise bill Is rotten
to the core. In sheer Justice to my oath
of office I must fight It."
"My boy," said the Judge In a fa
therly manner thnt he had often found
successful In argument, "1 was in poll
tics long before you were born, and I'm
speaking for your own good when 1
say I deeply regret the stand you've
taken In this matter. Yeu objected to
the bill In Its original form. Almost
every change you demanded has been
made In It. As the gentlemen who
asked me to speak to you said"?
He checked himself a minute too
late. The narrowing of Bennett's eyes
and the vanishing of the friendly light
In the young man's face warned New
man he had made a fatal error.
"So you come to me as an emissary,
not as a friend," said Bennett slowly,
"and the 'gentlemen' you come from"?
"Are the men who represent all that
cau make or break your career?capital
and political organization."
"In other words, Walnwright and
Ilorrlgan?"
"Yes. All they ask Is that you re
main neutral: that you"?
"That I look the other way while
they rob the city?"
"I am an old man, Bennett," evaded
the Judge, trying another tack, "and
I've seen one rash step wreck many a
bright career, Just as this will wreck
yours. Never antagonize wealth and
the organization. The public for whom
you sacrifice yourself will forget you
In a month. Capital and politics never
forget."
"I am not catering to the public. 1
am acting as my own conscience"?
"But this Is stubbornness, not con
science. All yon have to do Is to re
main neutral. If you do this 1 am
authorized to promise you?now, listen
?to promise you the nomination for
governor when your term as"?
"That's the bait Is It?" cried Alwyn
angrily. "If I consent to betray my
trust I'M get the governorship The
bribe 1* golden, and I don't wonder at
Horrlgan for offering It. The only
thing that surprises me la that he
should have chosen such a man as yon
for his lackey and go-between."
"" 'I.aokeyT 'Bribe!' 'Oo-betwecn!' "
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 blghwayulen 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 can be
controlled by a political boss and a
roll of bills! That's all! I don't care
to go further Into the subject!"
Bennett walked away, leaving the lit
tle Judge to stare after him, pink with
wrath, speechless with amazement. In
all his 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
al In such cases, now that the troth
had been driven home to him, Newman
wrathfully denounced It, even to him
self, as a He.
Still flushed and Incoherent, he wheel
ed to face a trio who were Just return
ing from the supper room. They were
Dallas, .Olbbs and Walnwrlglit.
"Hello!" exclaimed Wainwrlght In
surprise. "What's the matter with you.
Judge? Are you 111?"
"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 Gibbs.
"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? 1 should not
have believed It. He has Insulted me
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 al>out it. Judge," interposed
Glbbs, seeking to avert any further
clash between uncle and niece.
"I went to him," began Newman,
"hearing 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. Ills
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 hatchet and let us be frleuds again
for the sake of old times. I thought
Judge Newman's age and his high of
fice would compel a certain respect
even with a man of Bennett's charac
ter. But I was wrong, and I am sorry,
Judge, for the unjust humiliation I
caused you."
"I don't understand." said Dallas,
looking In bewilderment from one to
the other. "Judge, my uncle sent you
to make overtures of peace? And Mr.
Bennett refused to"?
"He not only refused, but called Mr.
Wainwrlght a highwayman and"?
"But why?" demanded Dallas.
"He pretended to misunderstand what
I said about the conditions."
"Oh, It was a conditional offer, then?
I thought"?
"Certainly there wero conditions,"
cut In Wainwrlght, again coming to
the emissary's rescue. "I asked that
he take a position of neutrality In re
gard to this Borough bill. Simply neu
tral, mind you. Not to change his atti
tude In its favor, or"?
"That was a splendidly fair offer,"
cried Glbbs enthusiastically.
"So It seemed to me," agreed New
man, "but Bennett would not listen
whe% I tried to point out his proper
Hue of duty. He called me a go-be
tween and"?
"Even after you told him we were
granting practically all the concessions
he had asked In the bill?" queried
Glbbs.
"Yes," said Newman. "He must have
some motive behind It all. I can't"?
"Nonsense!" exclaimed Dallas. "What
ulterior motive could he have?"

"That Is more than I know positive- 1
ly," returned the judge mysteriously
"But I do," declared Walnwrlgbt,
pointing at Dallas. "There are the rea
sons!"
"I?" exclaimed Dallas, Incredulous.
"Explain, please."
"Willingly." replied her uncle. "If

"I don't believe oue word of It!" cried
Dallas, her big eyes n blaze. "Alwyn
Bennett could not stoop to such a
thlllg."
"No?" said Walnwright. "Then you
protmbly will refuse to believe what I
am about to tell you now. I consider

In It. Bennett knows tills, and In spit*
of the knowledge he is trying to kill
the franchise even on the certainty of
beggnrlng you aud I'erry along with
Glbbs. If only he can ruin Gibbs be
cares nothing about making you and
Berry paupers too. That Is the sort
of man you are defending against your
own uncle. I have Just learned be
sides that he has secretly, through his
brokers, sold lurge blocks of Borough
stock short. Thus his veto that ruins
us will make him a very rich man."
"It Isn't true!" affirmed Dallas In
dogged certainty. "Mr. Gibbs, do you
confirm this story of my uncle's?"
"I'lease leave me out of this, Miss
Walnwright." answered Gibbs gently.
"I prefer to say nothing to prejudice
you. When I tight I fight fair."
"Even at the cost of all your money,"
amended Walnwright. "Glbbs, this is
carrying your sense of honor to nn ab
surd point. And Bennett will"?
"Bardon me," broke In Alwyn, enter
ing the foyer and going up to Dallas.
"I'm n little late for our dance. I was
detained by"?
"Alwyn!" exclaimed Dallas in relief.
"I'm so glad you came here Just when
you did. Now we can clear this up In
a word."
"Clear what up?" queried Bennett,
glancing about In suspicion at the three
silent men.
"You know Mr. Glbbs Is favored In
the Borough Street railway affair," be
gnn Dallas. "He told you so at your
office that day we were there. Well"?
"Yes, 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.

but here Is something you didn't know.
My uncle says my money and Perry's
is all Invested in that stock and that if
you defeat the bill we will be depend
ent on Mr. Wainwright's charity. 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 Wainwright. "Y'our
'duty' was done when you vetoed the
Mil. That act made your position
clear and showed the public how you
regarded the measure, so why go on
fighting It after"?
"I won't discuss this with you, Mr
Wain wright," Interrupted Bennett.
"We already understand one nnother.
you and I."
"My uncle says." pursued Dallas,
"that you made your broker secretly
sell Borough stock short, knowing the
deal would enrich you. Won't you
even deny this?"
"No." |
"You realise what all this foolish
stubbornness must mean to me?to all
of us," continued Dallas, "and you still
persist In your opposition?"
"I must," said Bennett. "I can't turn
back. Oh, Dallas," he added, dropping
his voice till none but she could hear,
"can't you trust me?only till Friday?
I'll come to you on Saturday morning
and tell you the whole miserable story

Please"?
"I see no need of waiting for an ex
planation." retorted I (alius aloud. "1

"But you don't understand!" Insisted
Alwyn. "I"?
"I understand only too well," repeat
ed Dallas. Checking his reply and lg
noriug the anguished appeal In bis
eyes, she turned to Uibbs.
"I have kept you waiting long for
your answer, Mr. Ulbbs," she said, I
speaking In a level, tlrui, emotionless
voice. "I am prepared to give It to!
you now?publicly. You have often'
asked me If 1 would be your wife. My
