This startling news flew lightning fast :o every quarter of the organization and in its wake spread a trail of incredulous amaze. Every member, from alderman to "heeler," knew why Horrigan had made Bcnnett mayor. That the latter should turn against his benefactor seemed not only black ingratitude, but something akin to insanity, for it ap parently spelled political suicide for the young man. While neither of the disputants had repeated the details of the quarrel, yet those details with many another were already passing from mouth to mouth in the mysterious fashion whereby the closest kept secrets are divulged and enlarged on. In the financial world. too, the veto came as a bombshell. Borough Street railway stock 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 had chosen his course, and he 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 he rigidly followed. His first step was to send for Perry Wainwright early in the morning fol lowing the clash with Horrigan and, under strict pledge of secrecy, to ex plain the whole complicated affair to that very bewildered young man. "You're all right, Alwyn! You're all the goods!" crowed Perry in genuine admiration. "But why didn't you backheel Horrlgan and throw him downstairs ?" "I think I did," said Bennett dryly. "I think I'm still doing it. That's why I sent for you today." "Want me to lick him for you?" ask ed Perry in 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 sister." "Say," snorted Perry, all the light ness gone out of his manner and his young frame stiffening ominously, "d'you mean to say the cur is framing up any game on Dallas? I" "Sit down," ordered Alwyn, "and try to use what little 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 me." 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 fortune and Dallas' 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 Horrigan fails to carry the 1411 through over my head-and he will fail if I can possibly block him-that will mean the practical collapse of the stock. It will mean that you and Dallas will be al most penniless." "Well," suggested Perry cheerfully, "then you can marry Dallas, and little brother Perry can come and live with you. Don't worry, old chap. I" "Shut up, you young idiot, and sit down and listen! Here's a check; also a note of introduction to my broker. He's a close mouthed fellow, and he'll keep the secret. I want you to sell 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 and Gladys will still be as well off as you are now, even 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 at last penetrating his youthful brain, "you're the whitest ever. The" "Hold on! I do this on one condi tion." "Oh!" "On condition you promise solemnly that neither Dallas nor any one else shall know my share in it." "But" "Promise!" "Oh, well, all right, them. But Dal las ought to"- "No, she oughtn't Now clear out. rP buq. Du't time pins to my Droier. i n uoluiug uac. lU official announcement of the veto as long as I can. But" "I'm on. So long, old chap. Enter Perry the Lamb into Bear and Bull vile! Let Horrigan & Co. indulge in a timely tremble!" Scarce had Perry departed on his mission when Phelan was announced. "Your honor," he shouted as he first caught a glimpse of Bennett. "You're all aces! Nothin' to it. Friend Horri gan's bitin' holes in the ceilin'. He's -oh, you needn't look so mum. I'm wise. I haven't spent ten years and close on a million bucks in scrapin' to gether a private secret service system 2 'F Perry Watuwright. for nothin'. 'You've signed the bill?' squeals Horrigan. 'No, you big stiff!' says you, 'I've vetoed it. Now go chase yourself before I knock you from under your hat!' says you. Them was the very words, so I'm told." "I congratulate you on your secret service men," laughed Bennett. "They seem to have a wonderful faculty for quoting one's remarks literally, but" "But did I come here to ladle out hot air to you?" slpplemented Phelan. "No, I didn't. I come to tip you off to a meetin' that's held last night at Wainwright's house-him" an' Horri gan an' Gibbs an' some others, inclood in' Hen Williams, who's Horrigan's mouthpiece an' handy mail in the board of aldermen. Didn't happen to hear of that meetin', did you?" "No. I am unfortunate in having no secret service corps." "Never mind," returned Phelan, on whom the satire of the reply was quite lost. "You can get the benefit of mine. Now, at this meetin' they did a lot of jabberin' an' they cussed you up hill an' down dale. Says Horrigan, 'If that young cub'" "Thanks," interposed Alwyn, wbut I don't care to hear what was said about me. I" "All right, then, but there's some thing you do want to hear. They got busy at last an' framed up a new word 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 cross lines. That's the way they'll put the bill up to the aldermen next time. A nice, harmless lookin' document it'll be, an' perhaps the board '11 swaller it if" "But do the alterations in the bill also eliminate the 'perpetual franchise' clause ?" "Ah, there's the point! They don't. All the other things you kicked against have been wiped out, but the 'perpetual franchise' clause stands." "And the $2,000,000 cash offer stands, too," added Bennett. "I still fail to see why I should present Mr. Wainwright's company with a franchise for which another man is willing to pay the city $2,000,000, and I shall fight the bill to the very end." "Good boy, your honor! An' Jimmy Phelan's with you. We'll make Horri gan look like" "He needs fourteen votes to carry the bill past my veto. He has his thir teen aldermen, under Williams' lead. But only those thirteen voted for the bill in its original state. Unless Horri gan and Williams can find a fourteenth alderman to" "Unless one of the men who voted against it before can be brought to vote for it next time Horrigan loses," answered P'helan. "He'll make it his business to buy a fourteenth man, an' I'll make it my business to find out who he tries to get an' to help your honor keep that same fourteenth man straight. That's how it adds up so far. Well, I'll be joggin'. I'll keep you post ed, an' between us we'll make Horri gan give a Ilvin' picture imitation of a man without a scalp before we're through with him." ittle of Phelan's exultation was re Secte. in the new mayor's face as the al-er.an bustled out. His drty lay cear before" bhim, and that duty he would follow. Bat he a.il realiwd the cost. tie nau so counteu on rum promised talk with Dallas Wainwright the preceding evening. On the hopes of that interview he had staked his all. In it he was to have received the half pledged reward for his months of toil and achievement. Yet in view of his present relations toward Wainwright he could not, of course, visit the financier's home. The doors of the house that contained the woman he loved had been barred to him. And Dallas-what must she have thought of his failure to call? TO BE CONTINUED PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. A System That Divides Society Into Two Hostile Classes. The private ownership of the means of production and distribution is re sponsible for the ever increasing un certainly of livelihood and the poverty and misery of the working class, and it divides society into two hostile class es-the capitalists and wageworkers. The once powerful middle class is rap idly disappearing in the mill of com petition. The struggle is now between the capitalist class and the working class. The possession of the means of livelihood gives the capitalists the con trol of the government, the press, the pulpit and the schools and enables them to reduce the workingman to a state of intellectual, physical and so cial inferiority, political subservience and virtual slavery. The economic interests of the capital ist class dominate our entire social sys tem; the lives of the working class are recklessly sacrificed for profit, wars are fomented between nations, indis criminate slaughter is encouraged and the destruction of whole races is sanc tioned in order that the capitalists may extend their commercial dominion abroad and enhance their supremacy at home. But the same economic causes which developed capitalism are leading to Socialism, which will abolish both the capitalist class and the class of wage workers. And the active force in bring ing about this new and higher order of society is the working class. All oth er classes, despite their apparent or actual conflicts, are alike interested in the upholding of the system of private ownership of the instruments of wealth production. The Socialist Aim. Socialism is a conscious endeavor to substitute organized co-operation for existence in place of the present an archical competition for existence. It is an attempt to lay the foundation of a real science of sociology which shall enable mankind by thoroughly under standing their past and present to com prehend and thus within limits to con trol the movement and development of their own society in the near future. Hyndman. Stood Too Long. Many a mistaken man has stood firm for the capitalist system as against the arguments of the Socialists and then been driven by the system to commit suicide. As Much Wealth as Ever. Work with all your might for So cialism. It is the only thing that will do us any good. Hard times are upon us, and you will often hear your neighbor regret the fact. Don't neg lect to point out to him that there is just as much wealth in the country as ever there was and that the trouble with him and his fellow workers is they are being robbed by the present system.-People's Paper. Beginning to See. The New York Outlook says: "Provi dent institutions and savings banks are being drawn upon by a comparatively large class of people and, as much de positors' savings are gradually ex hausted, a larger number is constantly drifting into the class of the unem ployed and the homeless in need of work."
