FRIDAY. AUGUST 16. 1912. onJthe 'v I MAnT WTH 20 SYNOPSIS. A foolish young tenderfoot becomes fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a drunken prospector In a western mining "1 town.

They prepare to 'elope In a blind ing blizzard but are confronted by the maudlin husband. He Is shot by the wife, but the chivalrous boy pins a note to the body taking the crime upon himself. In their night to the railroad i station the woman's horse falls exhausted; the youth puts her on his own and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. Seeing he is an impediment, the woman thrusts her escort into a snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen he stumbles into the railroad station just as the train bears the woman away.

Twenty-flve years later, this man. George Oormly. is a multi-millionaire in New York. He meets Eleanor Haldane, a beautiful and wealthy settlement worker, and co-operates with her in her work. Oormly becomes owner of a steamship line and flnds himself frustrated in plef and track extension plans by grafting aldermen, backed by the Gotham Traction company.

An automobile accident brings the Haidanes to his country home. Oormly announces that he will be mayor of 'New York and redeem the city from corruption. -The political declaration, of the merchant prince produced a tremendous sensation. The whole machinery of the city's detective force is to be used to dig up something damaging to Gormly. The press heretofore unanimously favorable to the merchant candidate, under pressure, divides and the campaign waxes warm.

A resolution Is Introduced granting a gratuitous renewal of the traction franchise. Oormly offers ten million dollars for the franchise. Miss Haldane congratulates Gormly on what she terms a new Declaration of Independence, and he makes an unexpected declaration of love. He Is shocked by the confirmation of his suspicions that her father Is the head and backbone of the notorious traction company which lie is attempting to overthrow. Young Haldane discovers his father's connection with the Gotham Traction company, and Is incensed.

In an interview between Gormly and Haldane the latter practically offers his daughter's hand as a bribe for Gormly to withdraw. Gormly refuses. In an interview with Gormly Miss Haldane learns of her father's baseness though Gormly vainly tries to hide It. Members of the King find the woman for whose sake Gormly declared himself a murderer and decide to force him to withdraw under threat of prosecution. The chief of police visits Gormly, who makes a full confession of the CHAPTER XVI.

Continued. "Why the woman told me she threw you down herself after you gave her your horse," said the chief of police. "Don't put that down, Chaloner. That's not necessary. Now," said Oormly quietly, "Just add this: "After a frightful experience I succeeded in reaching the station.

I came to Chicago, drifted about there for awhile, and thereafter came to New York determined to retrieve the past. Whether I have done so or not It is for you, my fellow citizens, to Judge. Whether this story which I relate to you now, because I am compelled to do so naturally not from choice destroys your confidence in me andmakes you believe that I am unworthy of your suffrages and thereby unfit to fiil the office to which I aspire for your service, it is for' you to decide. At any rate, I declare to you, what is now quite evident, that so far as I am concerned conscious that however you may. regard this solitary episode in my life, which I confess to my sorrow I am now as confident qf my competence and my Integrity to do what I said I would do if you elect me as I was before the disclosure was made.

"I have Informed the chief of police in closing that this statement Is to be sent to every paper in the city. He and those associated with him who authorized this blackmailing proposition and I point out that the fact that they made It Is evidence of their quality may do whatever they please in 'the premises. It only remains to add that In the west for some boyish whim I went under the name of Oeorge Fordyce. The last Is my middle name, and I sign this statement therefore "GEORGE FORDYCE GORMLY." "Why. you Infernal fool!" roared the, chief, "you're not going to give the whole thing away Ilka thatr "Mr.

Connell, that statement goes out, and by the hands of Somes, to every paper In New York as quickly as It can bo typewritten. Mr. Chaloner, will you please make the very best speed possible to you?" "Yea, sir. "It won't serve your purpose, blustered the officer. "In the first place I can deny my part of It I do deny It! iYou hear'me, you, short-hand man, before yon go, and you, you English whelp! I 8ay It's a damned He! I never made any such proposition to him.

It's Just one of his grandstand plays." "I beg your pardon, sir," said Somes, addressing his master, "but I can testify that he did make such a proposition." "How can you testlfyr asked Oormly. "I listened, sir, at the door; my ear to the keyhole." 'Ton hound!" cried the officer. "I don't generally resort to that practise, Mr. Oormly, as you know, sir," pleaded Somes. "I believe you.

Somes. "But In this Instance I did It because I knew the man was up to mischief, and I thought yon might want a witness, sir. You know I am sufficiently devoted to your Interests to have kept silent. If you had wished me, sir." "Your statement Is of the utmost value," said Gormly, smiling. "It will be entirely useless In the face of this proof for the chief of police to deny that he came here and for what pur pose.

You see there Is my word, the word of Somes yonder, the corroborative evidence of Mr. Chaloner that you Vere here." "And what about my word?" "Well, if you say you weren't here," said Gormly, cooUj, "that'll be about i the strongest evidence that could be presented that you were." "Til swear that It's a damned conspiracy; that you Inveigled me here, knowing that this was going to be made public, and turned It to your advantage In this way." 3 "Tou can swear anythingTyou like."

"Mr.

I believe you are a notary public?" "Yes," said Mr. Chalonerr looking up from the typewriter, which he was clicking busily. "Will you kindly administer an oath to Mr. Somes here." It was the first time that Gormly had ever dignified his valet with such a title, and the man's face gleamed with pleasure. Chaloner picked up his pencil.

"What Is the oathr "Allow me to dictate It," said Oormly. William Somes, do solemnly swear that at half after eleven o'clock tonight I admitted to the apartments of Mr. Gormly, in whose employ I am, one Ben Connell, to me known to be the chief of police of the city of New York; that on receiving permission. I ushered said Connell Into the library, where he had an Interview with the said George Gormly; that from my position outside in the hall I heard every word of said interview; that It took place exactly as It is described in the statement of said George Gormly; that the chief of police did offer to suppress the story If said Gormly would withdraw from the "That covers It, I think. "Yes, sir.

Exactly, sir," was the answer. "Add: "Subscribed and sworn to before me, Philip Chaloner, notary public, and so on." "Now, Mr. Connell, have you any other move to make?" "You'll find yourself arrested for murder by your own confession In the morning," said the chief. "Ah, Chief, Unfortunately You Were Late." "That may be." answered Oormly. "although I hardly think so.

There are probably cooler heads and wiser than yours in the ring which I am fighting, and I scarcely think they will desire to proceed to that extremity." "I will see the district attorney at once. "Do so. and ask him at the same time his opinion of your own course whether as an officer of the law you have been criminally culpable In your action and tell him that as soon as it Is daylight, Information, official and formal, shall be laid before him, and that you will be impeached. Indicted, dismissed, imprisoned. And this whether I am elected or not." At this moment there was a ring at the door of the apartment.

The electric bell had been ringing before; but no one had noticed It. "See who It is. Somes," said Oormly. "And as for you. keep silent." In a moment the gMqhman came back, followed by Livingstone Haldane In a great state of excitement "Mr.

Oormly," he cried as he burst Into the roem, not seeing the chief, who eat on the other side of the open door and somewhat sheltered by It, "they are going to do yon npl They have unearthed some cock-and-bull story and are going to force yon out of the campaign. My father gave It away to me tonight He said you would be out of it In the morning, and "This." said Oormly coolly to -the chief, "is confirmation of your plan. If we needed it" "What!" exclaimed Livingstone Haldane, observing for the first time the other man. "Are you here?" Tm goln now," answered the chief, rising. "Before you go, remember that here is another witness that you were here," said Gormly, pointing to young Haldane.

"So he's been here with his dirty story, has he?" growled the young man. "He has." "And what have you done? "Chaloner Is preparing a statement that I have Issued for the press." "Be warned by me, Mr. Gormly." said the chief, his voice a singular mixture of entreaty and bullying, "don't send that fool stuff to the papers. Perhaps we can deal on some other basis. If we let you get the election and keep quiet about this thing, maybe we can get together and "Somes." said Gormly.

"show this man the door, and If he opens his mouth or says another word, I give you leave to accelerate bis exit in any manner you may desire." The chief of police opened his mouth. "Remember, said Oormly, "If he says a single word, he is In your hands. "At my feet, sir. beg pardon, sir." returned Somes. Without making; a sound, the chief turned, and, followed closely by the valet who hong on his flanks like a bulldog, his lingers Itching to grasp his collar, the officer strode from the room.

"Now, what Is It all about?" asked Haldane, when the door had closed behind them. By this time Chaloner had finished one batch of the statements. Without a word Gormly took one and handed it to the young; man. He read It through with staring eyes. "You are going to send this out?" "Instantly." "It's the bravest thing I ever saw done." "It has to be, said Gormly.

"What will be the result of It on the people?" "If I can Judge by myself. It will settle the question forever In your favor." "Then yon don't withdraw from me because I am not the withdrawing kind," said Haldane. "You're a man through and through. You gave me a new hold on life, a new interest. You have made something pf me.

I am going to stick by you to the very end. Let me get my signature on that thing. I want to testify that I saw the chief of police here, and that I know from what he said In my presence that what you say Is true. They will see that the Haidanes are divided, and that those on your side are not afraid or ashamed to support you." can never be grateful enough to you." said Gormly. "That's all right" said the young man.

walking over to where Chaloner sat and dictating a line or two to be added to the statements. "Do you know," said Oormly. don't think we're out of the woods yet I believe that blackguard Is ca pable of surrounding the house and preventing the delivery of any of these letters to the papers." "What good would that do him?" "It would give him time." "Give me what you have written." said Haldane. "My car's down below, He won't have had time to do any thing yet" He picked up the chiefs pistol. "Give me this, too, and if any body stops me, it won't be a happy thing for him." "Good," said Gormly, taking the first batch.

He marked them for the most Important of the morning papers. "If you can deliver these, well chance the rest 111 send the others out by Somes and Chaloner. "Have yon any objection." said Haldane, as he picked up the batch of papers and buttoned his cost "to my toning Eleanor?" wish you ould do so. You will confer a favor oa me by doing it Im mediately. 1 will Jove! wasn't it lucky that I heard this from my father tonight and came down here to warn you? Goodby.

We'll win yet" He wrung the other's hand and darted from the room. As he stepped Into his car a number of men turned into the street and approached the house. There were officers among them, but most of them wore plain clothes. "Hey, stop that car!" roared a deep voice which Haldane recognized as that of ConnelL Gormly's suspicions were Justified. PITTSBURGH COURIER THREE The car had already fortunately start ed when one or two men leaped at him.

One of them gained a footing on the car. With one hand Haldane threw on the high speed, with the other he shoved the pistol In the man's face. The man fell back. The car leaped suddenly forward. The chance was gone.

A moment after Gormly himself came out of the street door. The men were huddled In front of the apartment house. He could hear Connell cursing terribly. "Ah, chief," said he urbanely, Unfortunately you were too late. Tho first batch of copies has' gone by the hands of Mr.

Haldane In that car. Good-night gentlemen." He turned and walked back to the hallway and took the elevator to his own apartment He had put a bold face upon the whole matter. He had taken the brave, the, wise, course, which after all was the only prudent course to take. He had not weakened under the tremendous pressure of the situation for a single Instant He had borne himself with amazing coolness and courage. Yet the man was absolutely stricken to the heart What the effect of the disclosures would be upon the campaign, how the people would receive It whether or not he would lose their confidence, whether or not the honorable reputation he had built up by years of just and generous dealing, would vanish, he could not tell; and to be truthful, at that moment these questions were not the chief of those which filled his heart He asked himself how Eleanor Hal dane would receive the disclosure, and what effect It would have upon her.

Although she had been overwhelmed by the revelation of her father's position, Oormly had learned from young Haldane that he had not thereby forfeited her regard. Now what difference would this make to her? She bad said several times that what she admired in him was his splendid record, his unblemished honor, his unspotted past And now what would she think? He might have made his defense stronger. He. might have said that the woman hall shot the man. Ho might have declared her abandonment of him in the snow storm, her leaving him to die.

He might have pointed out that he had assumed the guilt to shelter her; but chivalry was -strong in Oormly. He thought a long time about the situation, plunging In deeper and deeper gloom and sadness as the hours dragged by. At last he abandoned all hope of ever winning tho woman that he loved. Well, he would devote himself with more singleness of heart on that account to the interest of the people; If Indeedafter this, they still thought him worthy of leadership and service. (TO BE CONTINUED.) in I COST HIM MONEY TO FALL Balloonist Drops In at Football Game and Admission Fee Is Demsnded.

Dr. Eldrldge, the Philadelphia aeronaut who recently broke the time and distance record, says that the sport is, he believes, one that takes less money from the spectators than any other. Some sports, he declared, are commercial propositions purely and slm-ply, but in the main ballooning Is a free spectacle. In baseball and football, he points out that they are played for money, and he says the efforts to get a paying crowd would shame the energy of the circus proprietor. Apropos of his thought he told the following story.

"A certain balloonist who had met with some sort of a mishap and who was compelled to come down in a hurry, and with little choice of a landing place, threw overboaord his drag rope as he came to a great field. "The anchor caught In a fence and the Jar shook the balloonist from the car and he fell to the ground, a distance of 20 or 30 feet "The field on which he fell was being devoted to a football game between rival colleges, and when he came to, after being liberally sprinkled with water, the managers of the teams came to him and demanded that he pay 50 cents. "What for? asked the dazed and shaken balloonist "'Admission replied the managers. 'It's a good thing I didnt fall Into the the air navigator said. 'If I had I suppose you would have charged me a dollar.

Qatluses. It is claimed that the galluses are disappearing as a feature of the apparel. They are not artistic, and certainly not aristocratic; that is what is claimed. The Idea Is that If a trousers Is properly cut and fitted It sets so neatly on the hips that It needs no support and therefore the presence of suspenders Indicates that the man's apparel Is the work Of a cheap tailor, which is certainly not aristocratic. If suspenders are to go, there Is a better reason than this, and that is in the trick of the trade that' leaves a weak point in the suspenders a place that is always breaking and annoying the wearer until his patience Is gone.

Then he gets a belt and goes without suspenders, out of pure disgust He would rather hitch up his trousers than tie up his galluses. But this article of apparel Is not disappearingnot as long as ready-made clothing Is the Joy of most men. The suspenders necesarlly go with this habit since the Jddllke adjustment about the hips Is Impossible. Hereditary Talent. From the post office steps Freeman Davis watched Professor Lane cross the road and enter the wheelwright's shop on the opposite side.

"Goes In an' out free as you or me," Mr. Davis remarked to Jabez Bewail, "an nobody, knows how many letters he's entitled to write after his name. Jabez nodded. "But what I cant Just make out Is how he come by all his smartness. Fax's I know, none of his forbears ever amounted to much in a lifrary way." "What you talkin' about?" Mr.
