CHAPTER XVI.
The Chief of Police Visits Mr. Gormly.
On the evening of the second day
before the election Connell, dressed In
plain clothes and entirely unaccom
panied, presented himself very late at'
night at Gormly's apartment and do
tlred to see him. It was Somes who
admitted the official. Gormly's estab
lishment Vas a simple one, and the
other servants had gone home for the
night
Somes knew very well who he was,
rnd while he bad some of the English
I we of the police be bad all the ha
tred of a zealous and devoted partlzan
of his master, which be certainly was,
for the enemy. Therefore he re
quested the functionary to take a seat
while be carried the request for an In
terview to the library.
Somes entered the library without
knocking, a most unusual course for
him. He also took occasion to turn
the key of the door behind him. Then
he stood at attention In bis respectful
English way. Gormly had looked up
Instantly the door was opened, and
had stopped bis dictation. He was
greatly surprised at the valet's en
' trance, and more surprised when he
Hocked the dopr; but he realized that
something unusual was up and said
nothing.
"Beg pardon, sir," began Somes de
precatingly, "but there's a party out
In the hall wants to see you."
"Who is It?"
"He didn't give any name, sir, but
1 recognized him aa the chief of po
lk." , "Yes, nr."
"What does he want?" j
"He didn't say, sir."
"What was bis message?"
"Just to tell you that a gentleman
that's what he called himself, sir-
wanted to see you."
"Where Is he now."
"I left him sitting out In the hall,
but I wouldn't be too sure as to where
he Is, sir. He seemed to want to coma
right In here without permission, and
that's why I locked the door, sir."
"I see," answered Gormly, a twinkle
(of amusement In his eye. "I wonder
what the chief of police can have to
say to me? Well, I suppose I'd better
see him. Chaloner, will you go Into
the dining room and wait until I call
for you. Tell the chief to come In,
omes."
While Chaloner gathered up his
otebooks, pencils, and letters and
ithdrew Into the dining room across
he hall. Somes unlocked the door,
(stepped out into the hall and present
ly returned. He threw the door of the
library open in great style, drew him
Belf up and announced as If it had
been a reigning prince:
"The chief of police of the city of
New York!" .
Connell glared at him suspiciously,
but said nothing. He entered the room,
carefully closed the door behind bim,
land stood facing bis host.
"To what," asked Gormly suavely,
am I indebted for the honor of this
visit at this late hour?"
He danced at the clock as be
ppoke and observed that it was half-
after eleven.
"I've got something to say to you,
Gormly," began Connell bruskly.
"I am not aware of any Intimacy
between you and me, Mr. Connell,
jwhlch warrants you in your familiar
'mode of address. Address me with
decency and respect, or I'll have you
put out of the house!"
I "Me!" roared Connell. "You'd lay
hands on me, an officer of the law, in
the discharge of his "
"Are you come here as an officer ol
the law In the discharge of your duty?
jlf so, will you please tell me without
further delay what you want, where is
your warrant and incidentally Inform
line why you come in plain clotbes?"
"Never mind how I come or why 1
jcome!" said Connell wrathfully. "As
I said, I've got something to say to
you," he paused for a moment "Mr.
Gqrmiy, if that's your name. I m go
ing to say it, and you're going to
listen!" '
"Am I?" said Gormly. "You see thai
bell?" He pointed to one of the but
tons in the big dosk in the library.
"I have only to press that to have two
men here Instantly. The three of in
are quite equal to throwing you out
!of the apartment, and two of us,
know, would be more than willing to
do it. I think I have had aboul
enoueh of you, anyway."
"Well, I don't leave till I've had
my say, George Fordyce!" was tin
answer.
In spite of himself Gormly started.
He controlled himself Instantly, how
ever.
"You seem," he said coolly enough,
"to have discovered ray middle name,
which I dropped for reasons thai
seemed good to me when I came to
N'aw Tack."
Tor reasons TTiat seemed good tn
ou!" sneered the big officer. 1
gue3 Tney were gooa to you: -;
"What do you krow about them?
askej Gormly quietly.
I "I kuow what tbey were."
"And it is to tell me what you know
jtliat you came here tonight?"
I "Xot by any means. It's to tell you
what Juuve ffut n do niatTm Here
"And what have I got to do?"
"You've got to withdraw from thii
campaign now, tonight"
"And how do you propose that 1
should withdraw?"
"Set down there and write that foi
business reasons you've concluded to
withdraw from the campaign; thai
you advise your friends to vote foi
Pete Warren, the best mayor New
York ver had; that you're convinced
that you were wrong In the chargea
you've made; that Investigation hai
showed you that the Gotham Freighi
Traction company is all right and that
the Sachem Bociety is equally honor
able and virtuous. You'll know how
to put it, I give you the substance.
Fancy it up in your own language
You can sling words good and plentj
as has been proved in this campaign
That's all you got to do."
"And If I do this." asked Gormly
"what do I get?"
"You'll get silence as to your do
lngs twenty-five years ago."
"Would you mind telltng me what
my doings were twenty-five yean
iago?
, "Certainly not," said the chief. "No
reason for concealment between you
and me, that I can see. You ran away
with a miner's wife out at Camp Kill
Devil, Wyo., In the midst of a howlin'
blizzard. With the wife you took the
man's pile, product of bis hard-work
In', toilsome life for a worthless wom
an and you. And before you left, you
put a bullet into the man's breast
meres tnree counts against you;
theft, 'dultery, murder. You'll make a
hell of a reform mayor, won't you!
How'd the people enjoy that?"
"Why are you offering me anything,
if you possess this power and are con
fldent as to your Information? Why
don't you publish this stuff and knock
me out without giving me any chance
to withdraw?"
"See here, Gormly, It ain't for you
to question! It's for you to do what
you're told. We've decided that this
is the way this scheme is goin' to be
worked, that's all there is to it. II
we have our reasons for not publishin'
the stuff, why they're ours; they're
not yours.
"Why, man, all I've got to do is to
go down to the district attorney and
s wear out a warrant to have you ar
rested for murder. We've got our
fingers on the woman you run away
with and a pretty lookin' old hag she
is now, too. She don't want, to bo
mixed up in it; but we've got hold of
her, and if necessary she'll swear that
you done It' We've located several
people that used to live In Camp Kill
Devil who remember the circum
stances. One of 'em said, and the
woman corroborates It, that you wrote
an acknowledgment with your own
hand, sayln' that you shot up the man,
and you left It in the cabin. Maybe
we can turn that up, too. It's all as
clear as dar. I don't really know
why I stay here talkln' about it any
longer, except I rather enjoy seclu'
you squirm."
"Have you seen me squirm any yet,
-chief?"
"No, not ytt; but I can imagine how
you're feelln' beneath that Iron com
posure of yours. I've had to deal with
too many blackguards and criminals
not to know that. Well," the man
threw up his hands, laid down his
cigar and yawned prodigiously, "It's
glttin' late. I'll take that withdrawal
and go."
"Wouldn't it be better for me to
have my secretary here?" said Gorm
ly, "and dictate what I have to say?
Let him make a number of carbon
copies of It, so that we could send It
to all the papers."
"Well, If you want to let your sec
retary In on this game, I don t see
that I've got any objections," said the
chief.
Gormly stepped to the door.
"Mr. Chaloner," he said, "will you
bring your notebook and pencils here?
Mr. Chaloner, this is the chief of po
lice, Mr. Connell," he continued, as
the young man entered the room.
"Pleased to know you," said Con
nell grimly.
Chaloner bowed without saying any
thing. "Will you be seated, Mr. Chaloner,
and take a statement from my dicta
tion? By the way," he pushed a but
ton on the desk, and the door Into
the hall opened Instantly, with suspi
cious promptness, it might have been
thought, had any of the party given It
any attention, "Somes," said Gormly,
"I want you." The servant stepped
"Ah, Chief, Unfortunately Yon Were
Late."
Into the room. "Lock the door,
please, so that I may be sure we are
not interrupted."
"Now." said Gormly, "this gentle
man, as you know, Is the chief of po
lice." "Yes, sir," said Somes.
"He has asked me to dictate a cer
tain statement to the people of the
city of New York, and I'd like to
have you hear what I have to say and
witness all that occurs."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you ready, Mr. Chaloner?"
"Quite ready, sir."
"Tonight at half after eleven
o'clock," began Gormly, "the chief ol
police of the city of New York"
"You needn't bring me Into It!"
roared Cunneir, sitting trp.
"Will you have the goodness to be
silent, sir?" cried Gormly. "I am die
tating this statement, not you!"
"Well, you're going to. dictate what
I say," thundered the chief, slamming
his big hand down on the desk, "oi

"Keep back there, Somes," said
Gormly sharply as the man stepped
forward, bis face aflame. "I can deal
with the man. Connell," he contin
ued, "you are going to sit right there
until I've finished with you. Now,
Somes," he said, "you stand right be
hind him, and If he attempts to get
out of his chair keep him down."
"You're assaulting an officer of the
law!" roared .the chief, snapping his
fingers.
"You ought to be man enough to
know that the game's against you so
far," fcald Gormly, "and keep quiet un
til I get through. Then I'll give you
a chance to talk. Are you ready now,
Mr. Chaloner?"
"Quite ready, sir," was the imper
turbable answer of that most exce'
lent young man.
"I'll begin again:

lief in the Integrity of the Gothau

purity of the Sachem society, of which

by which he sought to Induce me to
take this course were a promise of

nubllcity, including a possible arrest
If 1 refused. In the presence of my
private secretary, Philip Chaloner, of
my friend and servant, William Somes,
and of the chief of police, Connell
himself, I am dictating this state
ment. . "Twenty-five years ago I came to
New York. Since that time my ca
reer has been thoroughly exploited.
The detective force of the city, sup
plemented by whatever talent could
be procured or suborned, has had me
under investigation. To not one act
have they been able to point of which
I am ashamed, or upon which they
could fix an attack.
"When I came to New York I was
nineteen years of age. I was born in
Vermont I received a common school
education, graduating from the high
school when I was sixteen. My father
died before I was born, my mother at
my birth. Some small property ac
cruing to me waa turned over to me
by my guardian on my graduation
from the high school. I spent two
years at sea as a cabin boy, and then
drifted west, finally bringing up at
Kill Devil Camp In Wyoming.
"There I came under the Influence
of a woman older than I, who thought
It not unbecoming to her to beguile
and entrap the young eastern tender
foot who was just entering upon his
nineteenth year. I was young, Inex
perienced, Impressionable; I fell com
pletely under ber Influence. There Is
something to be said for her, poor
woman. She was married to a drunk
en brute of a husband, a miner, a
gambler, who was not only unfaithful
to her, but who abused her fright
fully. I think my sympathies more
than my affections were engaged. I
had a chivalrlo desire to help her, a
boy's reverence for womankind
abused and suffering, a quixotic spirit
of knight errantry, of which even now
I am not ashamed.
"I had still some little money left,
and resolved to take her away from
her intolerable life. I do not wish to
shelter myself behind a woman; but
I have always told the people of New
York the exact truth, and I am do
ing It now. We had planned to leave
the camp on a certain night and ride
south to the Union Pacific. That
night was the night of the great bliz
zard of 1882, which ia still remem
bered in the west. It was very late
when I reached her cabin with the
horses. The woman was ready for
me, waiting engorly In fact Her. bus
band bad recently won a email sum of
money by gambling. That money she
took, .wlt.hjicr,
"I worked in a desperate hurry, and
at last got my hand on the butt of
my pistol. I saw from the look of his
eye that I would have little time to
draw It. I realized that unless I could
I was a doomed man. At that In-
stunt there was a flash and a report
in the room. Immediately after tho
man pulled the trigger of his own
pistol, but the bullet went wild. He
sank down on his knees, and fell back
flying. I dropped my own weapon ana
bent over htm. There was a hole In
his breast through which the blood
was oozing."
"Who shot hlmr growled the chief,
who had been listening with the great
est absorption to the narrative.
"The womai shot aim," answered
Ooraly. "But yon need set put thai

dictated It." He resumed to bis ste- j
nogrnpber: '
"There was nothing that I could do
for the man. It was more than ever
necessary that we get away. In pity
for the woman, I tore a blank leaf
from a book and wrote upon it that 1 1

had shot this man. We left that note
on the body and plunged Into the .
storm. Words cannot convey the ;
frightful nature of the tempest We
became separated In the storm
through no fault of mine."
"Why the woman told me she threw
you down herself after you gave ber
your horse," said the chief of police.
"Don't put that down, Chaloner.
That's not necessary. Now," said
Gormly quietly, "Just add this:
"After a frightful experience I suc
ceeded in reaching the station. I
came to Chicago, drifted about there
for awhile, and thereafter came to
New York determined to retrieve the
past. Whether I have done so or not
it is for you, my fellow citizens, to
Judge. Whether this atory which I re

pelled to do so naturally not from

me and makea you believe that I am
unworthy of your suffrages and there
by unfit to fill the office to which I
aspire for your service. It la for you
to decide. At any rate, I declare to
you, what Is now quite evident, that
bo far as I am concerned conscious
that however you may regard this
solitary episode in my life, which I
confess to my sorrow I am now aa
confident of my competence and my
Integrity to do what I said I would
do If you elect me as I was before
the disclosure was made.
"I have Informed the chief of po
lice In closing that this statement is
to be sent to every paper In the city.
He and those associated with- him
who authorized this blackmailing
proposition aid I point out that the
fact that they made it Is evidence of
their quality may do whatever they

"GEORGE FORDYCE GORMLY."
"Why. you Infernal fool!" roared
the chief, "you're not going to give
the whole thing away like that?"
"Mr. Connell, that statement goes
out, and by the hands of Somes, to
every paper In New York as quickly
as It can be typewritten. Mr. Chal
oner, will you please make the very
best speed possible to you?"
"Yes, sir."
"It won't serve your purpose," blus
tered the officer. "In the first place I
can deny my part of It I do deny ltl
You hear me, you short hand man, be
fore you go, and you, you English
whelp! I say It's a damned lie I I
never made any such proposition to
him. It's Just one of his grandstand
plays."
"I beg your pardon, sir," said
Souies, addressing bis master, "but I
can testify that be did make such i
proposition."
"How can you testify?" asked
Gormly.
"I listened, sir, at the door; my
ear to the keyhole."
"You hound!" cried the officer.
"I don't generally resort to that
practise, Mr. Gormly, aa you know,
sir," pleaded Somes.
"I believe you, Somes."
"But in this Instance I did it be
cause I knew the man was up to mis
chief, and I thought you might want
a witness, sir. You know I am sum
clently devoted to your Interests to
have kept silent, If you had wished
me, sir."
"Your statement is of the utmost
value, said Gormly, smiling. "It will
be entirely useless in the face of this
proof for the chief of police to deny
that he came here and for what pur
pose. You see there Is my word, the
word of Somes yonder, the corroborat
ive evidence of Mr. Chaloner that you
were here."
"And what about my word?"
"Well, if you say you weren't here,"
said Gormly, coolly, "that'll be about
the strongest evidence that could be
presented that you were."
"I'll swear that It's a damned con
spiracy; that you Inveigled me here,
knowing that this was going to be
made public, and turned it to your ad
vantage in this way."
"You can swear anything you like."
"I'll take oath to what I said, sir,"
Interposed Somes.
"Good," said Gormly. "Mr. Chal
oner, I believe you are a notary pub
lic r
"Yes," said Mr. Chaloner, looking
up from the typewriter, which he waa
clicking busily.
"Will you kindly administer an oath
to Mr. Somes here."
It was the first time that Oormly
had ever dignified his valet with such
a title, and the man's face gleamed
with pleasure.
Chaloner picked up his pencil.
"What is the oath?"
"Allow me to dictate it," said Gorm
ly. "I, William Somes, do solemnly
swear that at half after eleven o'clock
tonight I admitted to the apartments
of Mr. George Gormly, in whoso em
ploy I am, one Ben Connell, to me
known to be the chief of police of the

murder by your own confession in the
morning," said the chief.
"That may be," answered Gormly,
"although I hardly think so. There
are probably cooler heads and wiser
than yours in the ring which I am
fighting, and I scarcely think they will
desire to proceed to that extremity."
"I will see the district attorney at
once."
"Do so, and ask bim at the same
time his opinion of your own course
whether as an officer of the law you
have been criminally culpable In your
action and tell him that aa Boon as
It Is daylight, Information, official and
formal, shall be laid before him, and
that you will be Impeached, Indicted,
dismissed, Imprisoned. And this
whether I am elected or not."
At this moment there was a ring
at the door of the apartment The
eiectrlo bell bad been ringing before;
but no one had noticed It.
"See who It is, Somes," said Gorm
ly. "And as for you, keep silent"
In a moment the Englishman camo
back, followed by Livingstone Haldane
in a great state of excitement
"Mr. Gormly," he cried as he burst
Into the room, not seeing the chief,
who sat on the other side of the open
door and somewhat sheltered by It,
"they are going to do you up! They
have unearthed some cock and bull
story and axe going to force you out
of the campaign. My father gave It
away to me tonight He said yon
would be out of It in the morning.
and"
"This," said Gormly coolly to the
chief, "Is confirmation of your plan, if
we needed it."
"What!" exclaimed Livingstone Hal
dane, observing for the first time the
other man. "Are you here?"
"I'm goin' now," answered the chief.
rising.
"Before you go, remember that here
I another witness that you were
here," said Gormly, pointing to young'
Haldane. '
"So he'B been here with his dirty
story, has he?" growled the young
man.
"He has."
"And what have you done?"
"Chaloner is preparing a statement
that I have Issued for the press."
"ne warned by me, Mr. Gormly,'
said the chief, his voice a singular
mixture of entreaty and bullying,
"don't send that fool stuff to the pa
pers. Perhaps we can deal on some
other basis. If we let you get the
election and keen aulet about this
thing, maybe we can get together
and"
"Somes," said Gormly, "show this
man the door, and If he opens his
mouth or says another word, I give
you leave to accelerate his exit In any
manner you may deslTe."
The chief of police opened his
mouth.
"Remember," said Oormly, "if he
says a single word, he is in your
bands."
"At my feet, sir, beg pardon, Btr,1
returned Somes.
Without making a sound, the chief
turned, and, followed closely by the
valet who hung on his flanks like a
bulldog, his fingers itching to grasp
his collar, the officer strode from the
room.
"Now. what is It all about?" asked
Haldane, when the door had closed be
hind them.
By this time Chaloner had finished
jone batch of the statements, witn
out a word Gormly took one and hand
ed it to the young man. lie read it
throueh with staring eyes.
"You are going to send this out:
"Instantly."
"It's the bravest thing I ever saw
done."
"It has to be," said Gormly. "What
will be the result of It on the peo-
nle?"
"If I can Judge by myself, It will
settle the question forever in your
favor."
"Then you don't withdraw from me
because "
"I am not the withdrawing kind,'
said Haldane. "You're a man through

Let me get my signature on that thing.

what you say Is true. They will see
that the Haldanes are divided, and
that those on your side are not afraid

"I can never be grateful enough to
you," said Oormly.
"That's all right," Bald the young
man, walking over to where Chutoncr
sat and dictating a line or two to be
added to the statements.
"Do you know," said Gormly, "1

"What good would that do him?"

"Have you any objection," said
Haldane, a he picked up tha latch

mediately." I will. Jove! wasn't It lucky that
I beard this from my father tonight
and came down here to warn yout
Goodby. We ll win yet"
He wrung the other's band and
darted from the room. As be stepped!
into his car a number of men turned
Into the street and approached the)
bouse. There were officers among
them, but most of them wore plain
clotbes.
"Hey, stop that car!" roared a deepj
voice which Haldane recognized a
that of Connell.
Gormly's suspicions were Justified.
The car had already fortunately start
ed when one or two men leaped at
him. One of them gained a footing
on the car. With one hand HaJdano,
threw on the high speed, with the
other he shoved the pistol In the
man's face. The man fell back. Toe
car leaped suddenly forward.' The
chance was gone. I
A Moment after Gormly himself!
came out of the street door. The men!
were huddled in front of the epart-j

cursing terribly. j
"Ah, chief." said he urbanely, "nBrl
fortunately you were too late. Thai

hands of Mr. Haldane In that carJ

He turned and walked back to thel
hallway and took the elevator to hiai

all was the only prudent course toj
take. He had not weakened under the

himself with' amazing coolness andj

would receive It whether or not ha

had built up by years of Just and geivi

Although she had been overwhelmed
by the revelation of her father's po
