"Frenchy" dropped in upon him r. a time
wl.u he was very seriously conddernig what
cards at the mon'ent ho held. He was
meditating the Croat Idea.
"Frltilo" was the spokesman of the trb
and ho gave Rudertck, from tho trio's
point of view, very coneiushe arguments
why llorbert Renshaw, esq , should tn t bo
elected mayor of Cornvllle. "If he's
elected," Frltrle explained, "It'll be the)
same thing over upaln that wo was up
against In York whm that reform ad
ministration was In otV.ee. You know your
self that all us blokes had to get out be

"Woll, Mr. McKlowd, lit toko your namo
Into consideration. Good afternoon, air."
Threo days later there was astonishment,
bewilderment and profanity In the Under
World. Roderick McKlowd had been ap
pointed chief of detectives In tho town of
Cornvlllo nnd tho Under World wondered
what tho appointment mennt. When In
quisitive tho Under Worlil Is like a child
It walks up and asks questions and Rud
ertck McKlowd's odlce was beslegcel b'
"guns" who desired to know what was
what and what was "doing." Among the
rest were the three, who had como by
special summons. So far tho Ureal lelea
had progressed exactly as Rudertck had
lv ped It would The financial value of the
Idea was still to be demmstrated. Tho
three bad men wero Invited Into Kuderick'?
prUato rfllco. where, by Judbious quostlon-
ing, they were made to deeinro that they
htid nothing whatever "on" and had not
done any business In tho town since the
refcrm admtn'.stratlrn went Into power
and that they had been "ditched" by Rod
erick's idea nnd were sick of th" place ani
repdy to quit It. To all of this Kuderick
listened with a politeness which was ex
emplary In a public efil-er and an obi
friend. Whn they had finished his reply,
too, was exemplnry nnd significant.
"Hlrkes " ho bald, "I ain't much on
eh' win' tho rag, but I'm mure'ii a little
glad o' what you've told mo, 'n' that you're
sick of tho town. I'm particular glad
