W.stoO-WoO 6oTfa Pressure Pete Now Ollie's Satisfied groans, filled his pipe and tamped the tobacco down carefully and liesurely, lighted it, drew a few satisfactory puffs, adjusted his spectacles and picked up the newspaper. "Well, now we'll see what more the city has done to torture that little rat, Minty Doran," he would anticipate with relish. Perhaps he would exclaim with the incredulity of a simple-minded man whose brain never had schemed even enough to promote dishonesty, "Can you imagine that? The dirty scoundrel, even chiselin' on his own men and both sides, at that.

He collected graft from his own leaders for their protection in the name of the law. The politicians who worked with him had no idea he was Minty Doran and the crooks that helped him didn't suspect for a minute that he was Judge Morris! Well, can you beat that for a complicated problem? No wonder he had plenty of money! Says tonight he owed the government more than a million dollars income tax and they haven't made half of the investigations, yet. They'll probably find a dozen more aliases he used for depositin' his money in the banks. It's a wonder he knew himself who he was half the time, and didn't get so mixed up payin' himself money that he took it out of one hand and put it in the other." His own humor amused him, but his head wagged kith failure to his head wagged with failure to man's activities. "No wonder he got caught in his own trap," he concluded.

With a glance for Sue, he would remark, "Well, Gerard or no, you have to hand it to that young Philip for being a smart guy, and a brave one. Maybe he didn't risk as much as it appears he did, but it ain't everyone who would take a chance on exposin' them guys single-handed. There's something queer all right about how he got away from them when they first took him in, but I reckon the papers can't tell everything. Maybe he can't either, and there's probably a lot of inside stuff we never will know about. More politics and graft, but I s'pose we never can get away from some of that.

Yes, Gerard's all right, even if I don't like him hangin' around my girl." He peered over his bi-focal lenses at Sue. Parental opposition had been known to effect surprising results. Didn't he know a little something about that himself? But Sue was busy darning a pair of stockings to wear in the morning and appeared not at all interested in the suggestion.

Only with this revolutionary change: All the tranquil routint of work and home, home and work resolved into drab monotony; all the hopes and dreams of youth resolved into bitter memories; all the ambition of life dissolved into the problems of existence. To all appearances, she came and went as before, she exchanged gay repartee with the girls of the PBX room, she related amusing incidents to the family at home; but life for her had lost its zest and meaning, its purpose and reason. In her private existence, she was plunged into grief and despair and hopeless resignation. She was grateful for the seclusion of the in-a-door bed which no one shared. It enabled her to sob herself to sleep without being questioned and to make such desperate gestures as pressing her face hard into the pillow while she clenched her hands with the anguish of longing for love and happiness; or sitting upright in the darkness suddenly, to reach out her yearning hands into an empty, taunting future.

She would think sometimes, "I was 20 only 20. Why, I might live to be 70 or 80 years old anyway, 60. How horrible to live for 50 or 60, or even 30 more long desolate years, and yet never really live at all!" The thought appalled her, crushed her. Oh, it could not be, life just could not be so cruel as that! And then she would spend her emotion clenching her small hands until the little polished nails hurt the tender flesh of her palms. But life had done that to her, already it had sentenced her to that horrible loneliness and futility; and then she would lie very rigid and quiet and resigned to her fate, while the slow tears slipped from under her closed eyelids to trickle down her temples into the pillow in tiny rivulets.

Had any condition been different, ue often thought to herself, she might have done something about it. Had there been some family opposition to her choice of happiness, she either would have conquered it or ignored it; had Philip not loved her, she could have borne her defeat with the silent assurance that even though she loved him he could not have made her happy, not loving her. But to know that she had surrendered the supreme experience of love to another woman and to protect her name. It was like sacrificing the countless lives of men in warfare to obtain a few miles of useless territory or a modicum of vain power. Of course, the affairs which involved Philip did not resolve into monotony as did Sue's activities.

New developments and revelations continually excited newspaper reporters to important and eloquent prominence, and the public to dill-gent perusal and vociferous comment. Pop was a typical disciple of the cause. And because one of his daughters had been honored with the attentions of the city's hero of the hour, he was concerned particularly. In spite of his comments to the contrary, he was actually proud of Sue's distinction and confided to dome of his fellow workmen that he wouldn't be surprised if he some day became young Gerard's father-in-law. These grinned to each other when he turned his slightly rounded back, or deliberately scoffed at his ambitions.

"You're tellin' me?" one would demand. "Well, when you get on the inside with the city's next mayor, just remember I've been a side-kick of yours for 20 years in this-flhop, and fd like to land a nice soft city job that would pay a fancy salary and plenty of graft on the side You tell Gerard about me, how Schooldays Frank Takes a Chance By Burt L.

"Say, listen!" another added. "I once wore a tux, believe it or not. It was when I was a young feller Rnd joined the lodge, and there was a big reception soon after.

I rented a suit for the occasion and I always wished afterward that I'd had my picture taken with it on just to prove I ain't kiddin' anybody when I tell 'em about it. Think you'll be rentin' a suit for the mayor's inaugural reception, or will you be wearin' it so regular after that it would be more economical to buy one and have it tailor-made so it would fit right?" "All right, all right, you fellows can laugh all you're a mind to," Pop warned them, "but I might surprise you one of these days by walkin' out of this here shop for good." "Well, now, that would depend," the first one reminded him. "Even if your daughter did marry this young Gerard, she might just forget all about her poor old dad and it wouldn't do you a bit of good." "Huh! that's just where you don't know your onions at all," scoffed Pop. "Not Sue she wouldn't forget her old Pop if she married the Prince of Wales." But he never mentioned such possibilities or hopes to his daughters. The accounts in the papers stirred more than usual his bitter contempt for capital and political control, and his remarks to them as he read aloud choice items often approached eloquence.

Judge Morris became his favorite villain of the present, even as he had been his favorite hero of the past. As he had looked up from his lowly station to the imposing heights of Morris' political favor and prestige, he now looked down from his moderate height of irreproachable honor and security upon the depths Morris' shame and misery. Instead of inquiring of Sue In the evening.
