they are on the spot for this trouble.
I understand that both cases aro very
light, and that they aro on the mend;
but It li frightening, to say the least.
ALTHOUGH persons living In the sub

SEE that Henry Hntfleld has an
nounced that the St. Anthony Ofiib
dinner Is to bo given up this jear on
account of the war. So many of tho Delta
PsI men aro in or enlisting in the Army,
Navy. Aviation Corps and everything oleo
that there would be Just nbout enough of
them left to 1111 one small table. So with
the generosity peculiar to America nt this
time they have decided not to feel cocky
nbout saving that much money, but to
spend It anyhow and give it to the Red
Cioss. Some of tho memheis of Delta
Psl nre (ieorgn Brooke, 3d, who has Just
published his book on the encampment
of the First City Troop in Mexico
last summer; Jack Holllngsworth. Ed
Thayer, brother of any number of other
Thayers In Chestnut Hill; Ted .Madeira,
of Oermantown; Roger Townsend, Had
cllffo Cheston, who has Just been named
for the second oflleers' camp at Foit
Oglethorpe, and too many others to re
member nil at one shot. So you can
see for yourself that most or mem nio
entirely too much occupied in learning
the war game to think about any kind
of dinnei, except the regular daily one
and I'll bet my hat they think a lot
about that.
WE HAVE all been Inclined to think
tha' tho parties for tho marines nnd
sailors given at the various country clubs
have been pretty attractive affairs, but
when Mrs. William AVillot nnd Miss

been the best one yet. There wo- a tour

"Who'll present lt?" sneered Tborne.

Murgatioyd did not llnlsh; Thorno had
departed.
Tim next day at 4 o'clock thero was a
resounding lap on the prosecutor's private
nllirn door
"Come In!" said Murgatro.vd
Tho door opened and Peter Brodeiick
ennio pulling Into tho loom with peifect
nonchalance.
Ho had had u day to think things over,
and ho had made up his mind that tho
outburst of tho prosecutor had been all
bluster. Seizing a chair, lie diew It up
to tho desk and sat down, saying'
"1 never lefusu an Invitation to seo n
man alone; and now that we are alone, I
don"t mind telling you that I'm ready for
another one of them good cigars."
Tho prosecutor passed a box, fiom which
Broderlck bellied himself to a cigar, lit it,
nnd after sending a few clouds of smoke
In tho air, went on:
"Do you know, Murgatroyd, that I
haven't had a good chance to talk to you
slnco tho Challoner cao you've been so
blamed olllsh all tho time But now, hero
I am sitting hero with you you, the only
mugwump In tfie town that I eviir used to
be afraid of and you know I can say
any blamed thing I please, to you, and you
got to tako lt and say nolliln'. Do you
know that I'm ono of the fow that believe
tho truth about that bribe?"
Murgatroyd smiled
"In other words, you think we're both
in tho samo boat Is that It?"
"Not a bit ot It'" returned Broderlck.
"I'm In a coal b.uge; you'io in a motor
boot Why. Murgatroyd, thcte's many n
man been In honest polities nil Ills life,
like mo, for Instnnce, and who's never pulled
out three uuarters of a million ' Not much '
And out of ono deal, too' Why, look at
mo?" bo went nn glibly, "I've been In n lot
of deals; hut Hint gets me' Threo quar
ters of a million nnd moie on Just one
deal ! Confound It, man, do you know the
most I ever mode out of any ono deal?"
Murgatroyd lit a cigar, leaned back In
his chair nnd Inquired In an offhand
manner.
"How much?"
Broderlck shook his finger nt him
"Foxy, foxy boy! Do you think I'd give
up to vou so easy? This particular deal
I'm telling you about Is away back out
side the statute of limitations. Vou couldn't
get me on It If you would It was the
Terwllllger tract I was chairman of tho
common council finance committee, you re
member? Bought tho tract for twenty-five
hundred and sold it to tne city ror two
hundred nnd eighty thousand That's me "'
"Good work I" said Murgatroyd, with
genuine admiration "I didn't know that
you were In on that."
"In on It?" snorted Broderlck. "I was
tho whole show! That's where I'm coy,
my dear boy; It takes Broderlck to do
these things; but It takes a bigger man than
Broderlck to llnd 'em out"
Murgatrovd shook his head.
'They found me out, all right," he said.
Broderlck waved his hand, nnd answered:
"Not n bit of it! It's all blown over, and
If It hasn't, lt will. All they'll remember,
after a while. Is that you've got a wad of
money. They'll forget how you got It. and
they won't core." He puffed away nnd
purred contentedly.
"You're a giant." he went on, "an Intel
lectual giant to bag six figures." Then he
waved his hand about the room and said;
"You take this old courthouse, for In
