PROLOGUE.
Bob McAdoo, waif of the
slums, ragged, hard fisted news
boy, masterful office boy, bully
of Irishtown, steel worker, ward
boss, boss of the Steel City, is the
central figure of this absorbing,
thrilling, realistic story of Amer
ican politics. He is friendless,
but one friend enters his life and
changes its whole course. He is
a hater of women, but one wom
an comes between him and his
sole friend, and then things hap
pen that are worth while. Un
flagging heart interest is the dom
inant characteristic of this great,
real life romance of today.
CHAPTER L
KNIGHT EESA2ST.
IN the heart of the foothills, In a
basin "where two rivers meet to
form a mighty third, lies the Steel
City. To see it you must Journey
by night along its rivers, whose yel
low, placid waters, reflecting the lights
of a hundred steamers, seem a field of
gold incrusted with diamonds, rubies
and emeralds. Mile after mile you
pass by mills, mills, mills nothing but
mills magnificent monuments to the
inventive and adaptive genius of man.
Thousands of black faced, muscular
Titans rush hither and thither, swift,
methodical, earnest, single purposed.
But even this powerful army, levied
from the world's strongest, is pygmy
like beside the marvelous mechanism,
which works, seemingly, of its own
will, unerring, unfaltering, unceasing,
irresistible. Rivers of molten metal
flow beneath your gaze. Massive in
gots of white hot iron, beyond the
strength of men to lift, swing easily
on the cranes from cast to car. Fiery
serpents of steel writhe and plunge as
though obsessed by the spirit of hell
that brds over the smithy of the
world. This is the Steel City.
He was standing at the window in
one of the city's bleakest tenements, a
ragged, dirty faced boy. In the years
he remembered of his ten he had
known no other surroundings. Of
what went before he knew was to
know nothing. Prom without came
the sound of shuffling, uncertain foot
steps. He turned in an attitude of sul
len expectancy.
"If he licks me again I'll run away,"
he muttered. The faded drudge who
shared the room with him nodded
hopelessly.
The door opened and the relic of
what had once been a man entered.
"My felish'tashuns, ghentle par'ner 'f
my jhoysh an' shorrowsh," he ad
dressed the woman in drunken irony.
"Wha've y got f eat?
"Nothing."
"An' why not, faithful Penel'pe? 1711
have you know I'm hungry. Woman,
I'm hungry! Why not?"
"No money," answered the woman
listlessly, hopelessly.
"No money? That reminsh me.
Where'sh that Bob? Oh. there y'are, y
little devil. You got 'ny money?"
"How'd I get any money ?' demand
ed the boy sullenly.
"Beg it shteal It-It'sh all one fme."
"Ain't a beggar, ain't a thief," said
the boy doggedly.

t .tie- drunken man lurched toward the
boy and with one hand seized him by
the collar and with the other picked
up a stout stick. For a time Bob sub
mitted to the beating In a stoic silence,
horrible in such a mite of humanity,
devoting his energies to the unsuc
cessful effort to dodge the descending
stick until a blow of unusual force
fell upon his shoulder. Then his dirty
face was distorted with pain and hate.
PHs rllnrhed lira Darted in the shrill
j scream of a wounded tiger cub. Quick
as a thought he seized the hand that
grasped the stick and buried his teeth
in the flesh until they met the bone.
Uttering a howl, the drunken brute
dropped to the floor, rolling in agony.
The boy darted through the door, pull
ed up a loose board in the hall and
drew out the sum total of hia worldly
wealth a single dime. Then his flight
was resumed.
He did not cease running until the
tumbledown tenement district was far
behind him. Then he set his face to
ward the downtown business section.
A portly gentleman of good natured
aspect came toward him. The boy
boldly accosted him.
"Say, mister, where can I buy some
papers?"
"I've no money for you," answered
the gentleman impatiently.
"Don't want any money. Got all I
want," the boy said sturdily.
The gentleman laughed. "That's more
thti I have, my youthful Croesut.
Press office, Fifth avenue, three blocks
down."
And the boy trudged bravely on his
way through the crowded thorough
fare, unmindful of smarting shoulders,
his fortune grasped tightly in his fist.
The statement that his fortune was
carried in his fist is true in two senses
of the word, for, when he had expend
ed his treasure in copies of that organ
of publicity known as the Press, with
the instinct of genius he sought the
most crowded corner of the city's busi-N
est avenue. Here an unforeseen ob
stacle met our young knight errant.
Hardly had he begun to cry his wares
when another "newsie," who had pre
empted the corner, swaggered up to
him and fiercely challenged:
"Say, kid, wotcher doin" here?
"Sellin' papers," said our yomng
friend.
"Not much, yer don't DIs te my
stan. Take a sneak, see!"
"Aw, go on!" And then the fight
began.
The assailant was the older and big
ger, but this was a style of argument
with which Bob was familiar. He
dealt his blows lustily and maliciously,
greatly to the delight of the crowd.that
gathered to observe the hostilities. Not
the least interested was the burly, red
faced limb of the law who controlled
the traffic at that corner.
"My money on the little fellow,"
laughed a youth.
"Sure," said the policeman, "an ye'll
be findln' no takers, I'm thinkin'."
"Officer," a woman cried indignantly,
while she stared at the little fighters,
fascinated, "you ought to be ashamed
of yourself. Pull them apart at once."
"Oh, lave thim alone, ma'am," re
sponded the guardian of the public
peace. "It'll be doin' thim good."
"Lord." shouted the sport, "see that
uppercnt! I win. The little one has
him down."
The sport spoke truly. The combat
ants were prostrate in the gutter. Bob
on top and pummellng his antago
nist's features with an earnestness of
purpose that was inspiring. At this
crisis the policeman regretfully re
called himself to duty.
"That's enough, me son," he de
clared, pulling them apart.
"'Tain't enough," the victor rebel
liously answered, a thin ribbon of
blood streaming from his nose, the
light of battle in his eye. "'Tain't
enough. till he says I can sell papers
here."
"Ain't he th' little dlvHI" the police
man ejaculated admiringly. "Te stay
all right, kid Ye're th' boss now.
Show's over, frlnds Move on."
And so. while his late antagonist

Bob, with a pocket full of pennies,

When the policeman entered his
home that night and faced his faithful
spouse it was with a quaking spirit
"Well, now," his lady exclaimed sar
castically "well, now, Pathrick Flinn.

"Shure. Norah," Patrick apologized,
"'tis the most illigint little gamecock

says he; If s a bed I'm wantin'.' "An
what'll th' likes av ye be doin wid a

he. 'I nivir slipt in a bed, but I got

I asks. Ten years, says he. 'An

says he. Who's yer payrints?' 'Ain't

must be goln', fr there's no room fr
him here."
"Think shame to yersilf, Pathrick
Flinn," Norah cried hotly, "to be think
in av sendin' a poor, motherliss little
spa 1 pane like him out into the cold
worruldl"
While Patrick chuckled within him
self over the success of his diplomacy
Norah fell to her "knees and drew the
boy to her ample bosom, at which
unaccustomed tenderness the frozen
springs of his childish heart were
melted and Bob burst into a torrent
of sobs.
"Husha, husha, me de-arr, crooned
Norah. "There's no nade to be cryin'.
Shure, ye arren't to be lift alone, nivir
more, nivlrmore."
Bob drew back from her embrace
and, stamping his feet cried:
"I'll never cry again not another
dam' time!"
"Whisht, ye little spalpane!" Norah
laughed. "Don't ye be swearin'."
"Ain't he th' little divil!" Patrick
slapped his thighs delightedly. "Bob,
shake hands wid Molly and Kathleen,
an' make yersilf at home."
Bob obeyed.
Some hours later Patrick, bearing a
candle and accompanied by Norah,
crjt upstairs softly to the spare bed
room whejre Bob, face downward, re
posed in uneasy slumber and in a
bed. Norah sank to her knees by the
bedside.
"Th poor, poor la-ad!" she murmur
ed, laying her hand gently on his
shoulder.
Bob groaned and in his sleep shrank
from the touch. The movement dis
placed the nightgown Kathleen's
and disclosed a black and blue shoul
der. "Th' little spalpane!" Norah whis
pered tenderly.
"It's not from fightln', I warrint ye,"
Patrick whispered. "It's on his back."
"Don't you bit me again, Jim Thomp
son!" Bob screamed in his dreams.
"When rm big I'll kick you."
"Th' little divill" Patrick whispered
compassionately.
"He's like Paddy 'ud 'a' been." sob
bed Norah.
"Arrah, Norah, darlint ye do be mak
in' a fool av yersilf over th la-ad that
was nivir borrn." Paddy was the boy
for whom the Flinns' hearts had al
ways longed, but who never came.
With deep satisfaction of soul Bob
opened his eyes on a new day.
"I'll stay here," he said aloud.
And stay he did. Bob, in the arro
gance of his boyish egotism, taking
his welcome for granted, while to the
Flinns. big hearted and instinctively
hospitable, it never occurred to wonder
at the boy's presumption. The arrange
ment thus tacitly established proved a
happy one
