There were ailanthus trees shading the side- walks, and the neighborhood was one that more than any other through which Jerry passed expressed a sense of normal family life. In the morn- ing the women were busy sweeping the sidewalks or polishing doorknobs or carrying on cheerful activnties within doors; in the afternoon they played on the doorsteps with their babies or sat by the windows reading or sewing. The brick houses, with their green shutters, were uniform in now that he raised them to Jerry's I t^^ir green snuiiers were unirorm in were hard and cynical. * I ^yP^-N ""'1 'he unifoYmity imposed up- "How's your mother, Dave?

A clean, tidy, self-respecting little neighborhood it was, yet hardly one in which a commanding figure was to be looked for. Maguire's domicile was OS neat and clean and unpretentious as any other; a green parrot in its cage In a window was the distinguish- ing feature. Jerry had a wealiness 'I hope she will be.

But she's all right now, and I tell you the world seems a difl'erent place." Walking along the street, Maguire greeted nearly every one that he met. Jerry could not but be impressed by the pleased expression on the faces of those whom he thus recognized or by the democratic salutions of many obviously unimportant men and wo- men,â€" "Hello, Pat." There must be something genuine and meritorious about such a man. The next time that Jerry accom- panied Sheehan he was taken to see some of the homes of protected vice. Gambling-houses and brothels flouHsh- ed behind as fair a front as that of any respectable dwelling. "Take note of 'em; write the num- bers in your little book," said Shee- han. "It's a wise thing to kno^v all tho joints, even though you're not given the power to go in and smash 'em." "Why aren't we?" "I gue.ss It's becayse it's profitable to some of our bosses to have 'em do buuiness." "Aren't they ever raided?" "Oh, once in so often there's a raid, after every one in the district has been tipped off." "What's the reason? Who is it that's crooked?" "I've only got my suspicions."
