SYNOPSIS Into the drama of Mat* politic* (trode Gal* Holoway, a (null-town girl, armed with determination to get a position and a letter of introduction from Edward Griswold, home town banker, to Senator J*tfrey Murray. Seated in th* reception room of the aenator'* office, Gale’* thought* go to th* young man who had picked up the pur** *h* dropped enrout* to the c*pitol. Her reverie i* interrupted by voice* coming through the transom discussing the difficulties of getting a certain monopoly bill passed, you're getting old-” *ay* on* voice. "Not old,” Jeff answers, "just honest with myself about what 1-what w* have to face." CHAPTER TWO Gal* decided that Jeff must be Senator Murray, the man *he hoped might be her employer, the man whom the banker had said was one of the outstanding figure* in the state. Well, perhaps, this talk the wa* •verbearing wa* just ordinary politie*. She had read of *ueh thing*. She listened again a* the man who wanted the plan to work broke in en the conversation. “You’re right, Jeff. You’re generally right But you’ll have Colburn’a help, and don’t forget that wa contributed through Colburn to the campaign funda of practically every senator... “Except Smiley’*." The voice wa* that of Murray. Gale decided “He ean be handled, huh Jim?" It wa* the voice of the one referred to a* Tommy. “There are way* and mean* of handling any man. That’* why I play with Jim here and with Colburn. And whether you know it or not, Jeff, that’* why you ar* on this nide of the fence, Ux>.“ Jeff countered: “Well suppose some nervy freshman get* up and •ay* thia bill I* a steal, that it will give a monopoly to Jim's company, then what do you think the paper* would do with It? The headlined read 'Lcgi»l«tor Charge* Steal in Murray Bill.’ How far do you think we’d g«t then? I’d face a recall •ver night" “Nuts!" Tommy was digusted. If we get through, you can retire. You ought to anyway.” "Now, wait a minute!” It wa* Jim. Hi* voice wa* cold, cutting. “You’re both doing a lot of talking and we’re getting nowhere. You’re both in such a habit of making speeches every time someone ask* a question that you ean’t stop. There’s no renson to practice on me. I've heard them all. “What I would like to have {* a auggestion on whom we might hire to front for thi* bill. Colburn wanta to stay in the background, and he can engineer things from hi* hotel better than he ean from too clone, lie draw* too much attention. I wa* going to suggest we hire Harold Burham . . There was a pause and then Jeff •aid: “I’d be against that He talk* and we can’t afford that” “Well, then,” Jim asked, “whom do you suggest?” “Right off hand, I haven’t any auggestion*. Have you, Tommy?” “No. I’d like to think it over.” “Well,” Murray said, “If that'* all for now, and if you’ll excuse me, I've an appointment witi the gavernor.”

Then he wa* in the room, looking down at her. “How do you dot" Murray extended hi* ham-like hand. She took it, struggling to her feet “I'm aorry.

She fumbled in tier purse and banded him a letter. Then, she sat down. He read the letter quickly, and smiled down at her as he handed it back. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have an opening right now." Gale was prepared to say "thank you just the same” when a voice earne through the ventilator: “Wait a minute, Jeff!” Murray glanced quickly at the grating, scowled down at Gale and then, without a word, walked back 4/tkoapA she beetgroand for tU» ttor/f U autlttiitie, tha »t»rf ilteli la rntlrelt tetioaal and tka eharaclrrt art imnginarg.
