He dismsed When Winthrow saw Kerr closeted with his legal adviser he' could not suppress a whistle of surprise. “Evening, judge. Good evening. Mr. Kerr.” When My. Kendall said he’d been here to dinner. Bilby, he’s our city editor, told me to see you.” Winthrow, like the usual run of star reporters in a town the size of Bel- mont, was not only a shrewd young American, but he was also well aware of his great shrewdness. He had made as many political prognostlca- tions as any young man in the coun- try, and they were quite as misleading in the mam as were any of the others. Being on the machine paper and a loyal reporter. it folloxxed as of course that. he was a loyal machine. man. Old Jerry Winthrow, the, editor, was a dis- tant relative, but. friendly enough and interested enough in the youth to ex- plain to him some of the turnings of the political wheels. ”How are you, Jim?” said Gilbert. The boss merely nedded an acknowl- edgement of the greeting. “What can I do for you?” “Some stockoyard terminal rumors in the air, judge; just rumors, and I can‘t find out a thing.” “I haven’t heard a thing about it,” the lawyer z4ssured him. Then to Kerr, “Have you ?" “Not a word,” answered the boss. “Where did you get it?” queried Gil- bert “Floating ’round town. I met Mr. Kendall just now going to the sta- tion. bm he wouldn’t talk. I know that the surveyors have been out. in the drawing-room, Kerr and Gil- bert were just beginning a conversa. tion which had for its theme the new turn affairs had taken, when Dr. Hayes passed through the hall on his way out with his wife. Sam Hayes was a member of the ring’s 'inner shrine, and when the Opportunity arose for whatwas termed a quick clean-up he was always a member of the syndi- cate. Therefore, the die having been cast, the judge called him in and an- nounced the determination to push the franchise, a deal with which the coro- ner was already familiar. Far more than for any other reason Kerr was always willing to include him becuse his Belmont connections were so strong that he really lent an air of re- spectability to any undertaking. “I’ll come out to see him,” said the lawyer, rising. . So Mr. James Winthrow, the young political reporter for the Belmont Ban- ner, was admitted. Hayes went out to rejoin his wife, after promising to take the matter up in the morning. Gilbert was just on the point of be- ginning a. discussion of Gloria’s future when a. reporter from the Banner was announced. “No,” objected Kerr, “have him in. I want to see him, too.” “We are going to put a line to the' stock yards down Maple avenue, Sam,”. began the attorney. 1 “So it’s settled, is it?" : “Yes. You remember that vacant: tract beyond Benton Park? The oneI that the Belden Brothers are thinking ~, of cutting up for a residence addition? “'ell, you can’t build a house in ai mile of it when the road’s through there, but it’ll be worth a great deal more for factory sites.

When the ball was given for her it would be' time enough to begin. or the matter under discussion with one. sentence. ' .5 "Tell 'Eilby, Dave Kerr said not to print a line; he'll understand.” Locust Lawn had been in Gilbert’s mind all the time, and he had waitec‘ only to sound his wife before speak ing. Her enthusiasm was such. as evi denced in what she had just said, that he thought now was the proper time. tc broach the subject. Husband and wife smiled at eat-l: other, and he said: “You were,a beautiful girl, Julia.” “I’ll tell you what,” Mrs. Gilbert went on, conscious of the compliment but not desirous of herself making a; comparison. “Gloria is a beautiful girl and what is more. I can see that Sht has a Beautiful character. I'm so son-3 she has been away so long.” “What could I do, ma’am?” as‘kec‘ Kerr. “I couldn’t take care of her a: Locust Lawn.” “I just have to talk to some one," Mrs. Gilbert confessed immediately “and I didn’t have the heart to gc into the library. I peeped in just no“ and they were sitting in front of the fire laughing and talking and appear- ing to be having the best time in the world. I don’t know why. but it mada- me think of the times when you used to come to see me, Amos.” Gilbert was glad that his wife en- tered at this minute, for a discussion of Gloria’s .social future probably would not bring out all sides to the question without a woman being 2 party to the conversation. “I knew you’d do it for the girl's sake, but I want you to get what you can out of it, Amos. I owe you that much.” Winthrow put it down, and then asked with pencil poised: “Is she at Locust Lawn?” “Yes,” said Kerr. "‘Don’t write the item until I tele- phone you later in the evening,” inter- rupted Gilbert. He had been plotting and planning along social lines ever since Kerr had told him of Gloria’s return. Several things he had already thought of flashed through his mind. The impossibility of Locust Lawn as a social center was one of these, and Gilbert had something to suggest be- fore having the Banner write the story which would herald her return. “You can add this, though. Say that Judge and Mrs. Gilbert will issue invitations next week for a dance to introduce Miss Kerr.” No sooner had the reporter gone than Kerr turned to Gilbert and said with what was for him unaccustomed warmth: “That’s mighty ghod of you, Amos." “Not at all.” Then the lawyer went on in an injured tone, “I’m only sorry that you put the franchise up to me as a trade. I’m not doing it for that.” Tb at was all. It was an order, and the reporter accepted it as such. Things in Belmont were so well regu- lated that there was no danger from :- 223' source which would cause Kerr to think twice before sending his order to the city editor of the Banner by the reporter of that paper. ' As Winthrow rose to depart, ' Kerr? a-sked: “You have anything to do with the society columns?” “Occasionally stumble on a story. ” “Tomorrow put in that Miss Gloria Kerr has returned from a trip around the world ” 0 1 Mrs. GiIbort was ngt letting things .\.L ('1 ii I. .- 2...
