"I'll gel my mone out ol It as unlet, as I can, and I'll put that money wheio Sledge can't reach It." "You're scared blue," charged Marlcy contemptuocaly "How did oil come to get tangled up with Sledge?" "I met him down at the City Hall. He was wearing one of his fool red roses. and I think he saw me looklns itt It. Pet haps t did grin. At any rale, he stopped and asked me when 1 was to be married to Molly." "What did you tell him?" "Christmas. Moll v. osterda after noon, warned me not to tell any one, and particularly Pledge, that It Is to be Thanksgiving." "What did he sav that scared you so?' "Nothing." confessed Hcrl. "He only smiled. I felt as if I had been In a cold rain." "Same smile Molly described." Marley laughed, though he was quite out of pa tience. "I can understand Molly's taking- a whimsical fright based on nothing, hut I didn't expect It of u, Hert.

I think 1 shall see Allertou my- self tomorrow He ionics home every' Saturday night " Pursuant to that hnppv Idea, the presi dent droc out to Allcrton's house the next morning and found the Senator In the luxury of pajamas, easy "Uppers and lounging robe, amid an extravagant con- , fusion of Sunday papers. At his light ' hand was a taborct. 011 which bubbled an clectiic coffee percolator, and at his left hand was a featherweight serving table, on which was a comfortable sup ply of cigarettes. In front ot him sat Ben Sledge. "Hello, Marley," greeted the Senator. "Vou're Just In time for coffee." "Had mine hours ago," returned 3Iar- ley. nodding his return to Sledge's grunt. "Then It's time again." Insisted the Senator pleabantly. ringing for another cup. "Or would you prefer a cocktail?" "A little of jour exclusive rye, I think, If you Insist on anything," ac cepted Marley drawing a chair Into the cosy little circle. "Vou're trying to save that rye, or jou would have offered It In the first place." "No, only trying to promote sobriety," bantered Allerton "I suppose, however, that a memory of that good Kentucky stock Is what brought you out here on this peaceful Sabbath morning." "Hardly." denied Marley. 'Trankly. I suppose I came on the same errand as my rival and competitor here." "What's that?" asked Allerton, with a glance at Sledge. "To find out what the dickens you mean by that infamous street-railway bill, of which you are the disreputable parent." Allerton gazed at him blankly ror a moment, and again glanced nukzfcallv at Sledge. There was a low rumble down In Sledge's throat, but neither his face nor his eyes betraj-ed any sentiment or emotion whatsoever. "I -mean to protect the honest working man, to save our houses and firesides, and add honor and glory to the Ameri can flag." responded Allerton solemnly. Marley accepted that merry cpilp with the courteous chuckle which It deserved. "Outside of that, and drying the tears of the widows and orphans, what do -ou propose to accomplish by It?" he per sisted In like vein "If t dld-'t know inn were above spltework, 1 should think I that you had It in for the street-car 1 Interests." Again the Senator looked at him with a nunzled air. then he tuprned to Sledge. ''Doesn't he know anything?" he queried. "Xawl" rumbled Sledge. "I see." answered Allerton coolly. "I supposed you all knew that before the bill was passed it would be amended lo conserve the important financial Inter ests." Jtarley pondered that statement awhile, nnd then he laughed. "Of course." he said. "It's only polltt cat claptrap. Intended to make the voter think you are eternally on the Job in his Interests." "I wouldn't put it in exactly that waj" aoberly reproved Allerton, Justly offended hy this coarse method of Impugning his motives. "I apologize." laughed Marley. "I should have said 'the bill displays that you. constantly have the Interests ot your constituents at heart.' We were rather exercised about It. but we should not have been; for In your long service for the public r do not think you have ever promoted or fostered any legisla tion which would be destructive of cap ital." "Certainly not." agreed Allerton, who pever let down hl pose in the presence of a man who had pot proved his right to alt within the suned circle. "Without Ehe proper and legitimate fosterliv of fnterprlaea requiring extenslva financial sypnort, there can be no national pros perity," "That's sound enough doctrine." com mended Marley. "What are the amend ments which are to soften the blow"'" IV'llh klndlv pa tin me the Senator ex Plained to htm the amendments, one bv one being careles enough, however, not to mention the 60-var franchise clause t the end of an hour Marlev. much relieved In his mind took his departure regretting that Sledge was not reudy to Hccompanv him "It's strange how easily a man In con- , noes who Ins committed sonic ntioclous . social blunder.

Hert Ollder. a necessary adjunct lo the Sunday dinner, came Just In time to .sit down at the table with the fiimlh. and he was so preoccupied Hint Molly was half vexed with him. "Now. who has won part of 011r mar bles?" she chlded him. attempting to conceal her annoyance wllh him under the guise of gny raillery. "Hert already looks like a married mini," laughed Fern. "I'd I,, frightened half to death. .Molly. Think what he'll loolt like at lueakfast on llrst of each month!" j "He'll neer see the meat hill," ile dined Molly. "I Intend to begin with allmonj." 1 "I hope 1 can pay It," responded Hert, catching the all too Jovial spirit of the ' RssemblagM. and pretending 10 gaietv himself. "I think my 111 ot step toward making a living, howexer. will be to move out of this State, where I can buv and "ell a piece of propertj without asking jiei mission of some alderman or ward thug." "t think we'll nil go" suggested Mar ley, who had been looking studiously Into his Miup. "What hns happened to worry you. Hert?" ".''Ince Sledg.) .smiled"" queried thnt neatly muMnchfd joung man. In order i to head him off from that leproach. "I think 1 have good cause tills time I took a drive out Lincoln llond this morn ing, and they're going ahead with their amusement park project. ' "Impossible" usseited Mat ley. stialsht ening in oulraged dignity. "Willie the fling City Street Hallway Company has . a Lincoln Road franchise, which would prevent our competitors rrom obtaining one. It has not announced nny intention ' of building in that direction, nnd will not do so." Hert laughed quite without mirth. , "You remind me of that good old stand- ard storj" of the man who was nrrested , for some trifling ofTense. He sent for his friend, and explained the circumstances. 1 'Why, it's confounded nonsense:' ex- , claimed the friend, holding the bais and looking through the grating of the cell door. 'No policeman on eaith can throw you into Jail Tor that.' " "Why, ho was In Jail at that verv minute'" protested Kern "I think that's supposed to be the point of the storl'," guessed Molly. "Of what is it apropos, Rert?" "Of the Impossibility of building an amusement park on Lincoln Road." he answered. "They're digging a lake out there. They're erecting the scaffold ot a toller-coaster. They'll built a big work shed, which is later to lie turned into a Tannenbauin Hall, which, just now. Is stacked with gaudy parts of a three-story merrj'-go-round. It may he utterly Impossible for them to build an amusement park out there, hut they're doing It." Molly glanced quickly at her father. H motioned that his untouched soup might be taken away, and toyed, in nerv ous embarrassment, with an almond. "Pvh already done it," he half shame facedly explained. "Sold your stock?" she eagerly n fiulred. "Not quite," he hesitated. " did, how ever, stop at the telegraph office on my wav back from Allerton's this morning, and I wired the people who have been after my stock to name their best offer." "Good!" she responded. "Will you take It, whatever It Is:" "I can't bind mj'self to that," he re plied. "I must confess, however, that, whatever the offer Is, 1 shall be tempted." "Allerton must have given you very little, satisfaction about that bill," sur mised Hert. "Quite the contrary." stated Marley. "Tho bill Is absolutely harmless. It Is only a hit of political flapdoodle, Intend ed to convince the votcm of the State that Allerton Is constantly on the Job." "Something must have happened to make you change j-our mind so quick ly." pondered Molly. "Whatever It was, I'm glad of It. You must have met Sledge." and she giggled. "Sledge must have smiled at him," laughed Bert, keeping up the joke. "I have excellent reasons," Marley concluded, with becoming business grav ity. "The future of Htreet railway In vestment in this city Is too uncertain." "Father," said Molly suddenly. In the midst of the silence that followed, "If Mr. Sledge linds you have Bent that tel egram, he will do whatever he Is going to do before you can turn around." "He'll have to move quickly," answer ed her father, with i superior smile, his self-approbation returning on the slight est provocation. "I sent my people that telegram today, so they would have tt the first thing Monday morning. They were very eager, while they were here, to ac- rnlher, there'll be no wedding bells lor us. Holt and I will each be compelled lo seek n more lucrative match." She litnii'Td srnlllnglj at Hert. nnd sur prised on his fnce 11 curious expression, which plu'iged her into deep and not ovcrlv pleasant thought. "He'd have bluffed me long ago," con fesrcil Kern. "I'd hnc been so scared to iIphUi that In this time I'd he sending out afternoon-ten Invitations on his busi ness stationery." "You .spiritless wretch!" chlded Molly "It might trot be so bail, after nil." re lurrreJ Kern, icrslsllng, now thnt she lud Mnrtcd.

"You mnv pack up jour things and go home," laughed Molly, not really blaming her for Ihc sentiment, nnwfver. "You're posltivelj hopeless, Kern " "All right." Insisted Kern. "I don't think theri'd he anv moie fun thnn tani- 1 lug and mnnagln a big brute like him." I "Throw her out." begged Hert. "She's I dangerous.!' . Mollys anxletv was hj no menus I feigned, f.r the next morning, at 10 n'clorU. she called up her fnther at his . office and nsker him If he had received ' an answer to his telegram.

She wandered about the house, quite ill I at ease then, unable lo content heiself, ! sujgesteil to Kern thnt thev make ready for a drive. When thej were readj she , hesitated ,1 moment or two in fiont of tho ' telephone, but conquered thnt temptation. Instead, she innde their llrst stop at ncr fnthr's ofllce. and with 11 curious degree of consideration, waited In the little red reception room to be announced. She was told to come light lu, and found Bert wllh her father. Marlej silently handed her a telegram. It read: "Our Mr. Colrimari will see you in two weeks Ciorii today." "Two weeks." she worried. "Can't vou rosslbly hurr them up?" "Impossible to arrange earlier date." "Hunt'" rcslgrmllon was In mv mall this morning." staled Marlcy. with forced quietness. "He has taken a position as secretary Willi Sledge's company, and I suppose half mj ofllco force will follow him." "Two nek," spccuhited Hert; then he added Impatiently: "Confound it. Mai ley!

Hert hedsed. his ' impatience, however, only slightly modi fied. "The fundamental fact Is Chat we 1 must gain time." I "I don't seP ,ow. unless Molly marries I Sledge," suggested her father, with a laugh. Molly started lo laugh, also, but found I Bert looking at her speculativel.v. I "hiie doesn't need go that fat," he ' mused. Molly looked at him in sharp Incredulity for a moment: then, without n word, she turned to lcae the room. "Where are jou going?" asked her father. "To see Sledge," .she responded. "I think ou told me thnt he Is always at the hank between 11 nnd 12 In the morn ing." "Molly!" commanded Bert, shnrplj, re called to his senses by her hearing, "vou mustn't see him. 1 forbid It!" "I am taking your advice, but I refuse to tnke jour orders," she calmly Informed him. sur prised lo find in herself an incli nation to giggle over her fc of that splendidly ringing remark. "Molly will shield jou from nil harm," she added, and she was snickering when she rejoined Fern. "What's the Joke?" asked that joung lady. "I've been dying nil morning to hear somebody giggle." "You're to chaperon me while I go over and make love to Sledge," Molly gaily ln roi met! her. "You're not reallv!" protested Fern, de lighted, nevertheless. "I am really," retorted Molly, her eyes flashing a trifle mora than n. mere Jest would seem to warrant. "X must, Fern, I plunged both father and Bert Into this trouble, and Bert seems to think It's up tu joins truly Molly to foot Sledge along until they have time to get out of It. Besides that, It's a sort of a game be tween Sledge and myself, and I'm not going to have that big duffer win It." "This Is too delightful for anything," applauded Kern. "I'm perfectly mad about It, Molly. I hope Sledge Is In." SledRe was In. He was closeted with Senator Aller ton and Governor Waver on a most Important conference, one Involv ing the welfare nnd prosperity of half the voters In the Stale: hut, nevertheless, he promptly stifled his conscience, and nl- ; lowed the Interests of the sovereign pen- 1 ui ...- ...I.- rt.i.. ui-h .1 1..

' That's entirely Molly's affair." "1 believe you," coincided Sledge, and again he chuckled, as he. arose to go. is there any objection to giving out a hint of this consolidation?" nuked Marley, with an instant thought that, ut the very least, this new turn would -nhance his price with the syndicate which had pro posed to buy him out. "Hunh-uh!" assented Sledge. "You bet ter see Davis about j-our mortgage. He won't extend, but he'll hold off." "I'll go over light away." answered Marlej-. anxious to take advantngo of that offer nlso, as quickly as possible. "Wait till tomorrow," ordered Sledge, nnd stalked out, having but very little time to waste. His way lay directly past the Grand Opera-llouse, nnd he stopped at the ticket window. "Give me a box for tonight," he grunted. "Sorry. .Mr. Sledge," replied the ticket seller, sincerely apologetic. "The only ones we have left nre on the gallery floor, nnd those nre so undesirable that wo never make any attempts to sell them.." "I got to have a, down-stairs box," In sisted Sledge. "Fix It." j "t don't see how I can," protested the ticket seller. The treasurer of the theatre, talking In the rear end of the lobby with the man ager of the Avon Shakespearean Hepct tolre Company, came forward with calm authority. "Anj tiling we can do for jou?" he of fered to the man who had settled his difficulties with the fire commissioner. "Mr. Sledge wnnts a down-stalrn box for tonight, nnd we have none left," ex plained the ticket seller. "Who has them?" the treaturer wanted to know. "Governor Weaver's family hns Box A; G. W, Morion has B; n party from tho Hold Abbot " "Did they tnke up their tickets Jet?" Interrupted the treasurer. "So." returned the bov-ofTlce man, dls plnjlng the envelope whte hhcld them.

Two blocks up the sheet, on his way In the Occident, he stopped nt an automobile sales mom. "This working?" he Inquirer!, pointing to the shining big limousine which oc cupied the center of the floor. "All It needs 1 gnsollne," replied the salesman. "Put some reil roses In that flower thing, nnd send It up," Sledge directed. "About dinner-time?" surmised the .salesman "Possibly I'd better send It up before, Mr. Sledge.
