"What a headline! Oh, but In a little while Mr. Dorsey will be sorry he spoke that way. The Express will bare an extra on the street in half an hour. Won't that 'D n the babies: please the Tenth ward, where there are about a hundred to each tenement?" "That's all right as far as It goes," replied Wendell, "but we want to put Dorsey in a position where he can't deny having said it I'll draw up an affidavit corroborating it. Then we can get affidavits from Mr. Mann and others who talked with Dorsey this morning. If the Express will publish these, it will make our case stronger." "If the Express will publish them," answered the newspaper man. "If I

know how Mr. Rogers feels about DorBey, I think they will be double leaded, with three column headlines. You get the affidavits, and I'll hurry back to the office and be writing the story." "We'll get out an extra," said the managing editor to Whitney, "but we might as well wait and get the affidavits, too, so as to have a complete Btory. You were the only reporter present? Then none of the other papers can come out ahead of us." "And I'll send a man over to see McMnnis," broke in the city editor. "Jones, run down to McMannis' place and ask him if Dorsey is going to do anything about the recreation pier. Don't tell him we have other interviews on the subject. Just get him to state, If you can, in the strongest terms possible that Dorsey says they can't have the pier. Telephone in what he says, for we want it for an extra." By the time Whitney had finished writing his account of the Dorsey interview the affidavits had arrived at the Express office, and Jones had telephoned in the interview with McMannis. That worthy, ignorant of the steps which were being taken to dis

turb Mr. Dorsey's peace of mind, had spoken in strenuous terms. Not that McMannis had any intention of breaking from the organization, but his heart had been set on getting the recreation pier, and he had brooded over the refusal of the morning. The city editor read the account that Whitney had written and after marking it "double lead" sent It to the composing room. "It looks sensational," observed the city editor, "but it is a big story. I guess when the copies of the paper begin to come Into the Tenth ward there really will be a sensation." A few minutes later the newsboys were calling out: "Extra! Extra! All about Bos3 Doreey an' de babies!" "Better send a lot of copies over to the Tenth ward." said the managing editor. "I wouldn't wonder if they would Interest McMannis." And the paper did Interest McMannis. lie was sitting in his little back room when Tim Collins, his most trusted lieutenant, entered. Tim was excited. "Have you seen the Express?" he cried, thrusting a copy of the paper at McMannis. "Why, Dorsey must have

f been crazy to say such a thing. And I

see you are quoted there too. Are you going to break from the party?" "What do you mean?" retorted McMannis angrily. "WThat's Dorsey been saying, and what rot are you talking about my breaking with the party?" There'll be something else broken If you don't take that back." But Tim Collins stood undaunted. "Look for yourself." he replied. "It's all over the ward. The women are wild about it I'd have thought It a fake

put up by the reformers If it hadn't

been for your name and those affidavits. Dorsey's killed himself In this ward."

McMannis was eagerly scanning the

paper.

"They've got what I said to that re

porter about right although I didn't

think I put It so strong. And I didn't know they had those other Interviews

and affidavits. It's a trick of that

young Wendell to down Dorsey and to make a break in the Tenth ward if he

can." "He's done it nil right, all right'

asserted Tim Collins. " 'D n the babiesl There isn't a woman in the

ward who will give her husband any

peace until he's promised to vote

against Dorsey. He's gone cp, and bo

are we unless"

"Unless what?" inquired McMannis

sharply. "Unless we break away from him, answered Collins sullenly.

"Break from the party? I never thought to hear you say any such a

thing.

"Young Wendell must have put up

the job to get Dorsey in a hole," declared McMannis angrily. "And he's put Tom McMannis and Tim Collins la

just as bad a one." "I'll stand by you, whatever you do,

said Tim loyally. "But as Dorsey men neither of us can get a job on a city

wagon in the Tenth ward. There's too many babies." And Tim Collins departed, cursing the folly of Dorsey. The extra edition of the Express had been issued shortly after noon, and by

3 o'clock it seemed as if most of the men and every woman in the ward had seen a copy of the paper. "To think of him saying that about the babies," said Mrs. O'Nell. the mother of the fat Johnnie. "And the poor darlints almost perished with tl& heat 'D a the babies,' because this can't

! vote, is it? Oh, but I wish 1 4 women I had a vote. We'd show M Dorsey S what it meant." I And the sentiments of Mrs. O'Xell j were forcibly echoed by all the women i present. I All that afternoon the local hench- . men of McMannis visited his saloon. Each gloomily condemned the imprudence of Dorsey, and each, at first

timidly and then more boldly, suggested to McMannis that it was absolutely necessary for the Tenth ward to rebel against the rule of the boss. But McMannis, bound by years of allegiance to the organization, hesitated to declare against it. Early that evening while he was discussing the situation with Tim Collins a message came stating that Dorsey desired to see both of them at the organization headquarters. The message was a little peremptory and did not add to McMannis' good humor. Still he and his lieutenant prepared to obey. A few yards from the saloon the Tenth ward politicians met Mrs. O'Neil, accompanied by pretty Mollie Grady, for whom Tim Collins had more than a faint affection.

"And did you see what Dorsey said about the babies?" asked Mrs. O'Neil. stopping McMannis. "You're a good man, Mr. McMannis, and we all like

you and know you've dono what you

could to get the recreation pier and

other things for the people in this ward, but good man that you are there are few votes you can control In the

Tenth as long as you stick by that

Dorsey."

"Well, Mrs. O'Neil," replied McMan

nis, trying to placate the offended

mother, "I'm loyal to my party, but

you will find me looking out for the

Tenth, my own ward, first."

A moment later he was rejoined by

Tim Collins, who had stopped to speak to brown eyed Mollle.

"I asked her if she would go to the

picnic with me," observed Tim gloom

ily, "and she said, 'Are you a Dorsey man?' And I says, 'I suppose I am.'

Says she, 'I'll go to no picnics with a

fellow who backs up a man that curses

little babies and says they can die of

the heat.' "

The ward leader and his lieutenant

looked doubtfully at each other. Then

each understood. McMannis called to

Dorsey's messenger, who had been waiting across the street.

"You tell Mr. Dorsey," said McMan

nis tersely, "that Tim and I are too

busy to come now. After election

we'll have more time."

Dorsey and his adherents were not

men to sit quietly in the face of im

pending defeat. They worked desper

ately; the whole influence of the police and of city employees was thrown in favor of the organization. Yet each day it was evident the once invincible

boss was losing ground. The defec

tion of McMannis and the formerly

solid organization of the Tenth ward proved a heavy blow.

On election night the result was

practically certain long before the totals were known. The uptown districts, as had been expected, voted

against Dorsey. Then came scattering

districts slightly in his favor. Then

the result in the Tenth ward was announced. It was solidly against the boss. But when the districts in which the organization was strongest were

counted Dorsey and his adherents gave

up hope. Instead of an almost straight organization vote the returns in these districts showed small majorities which would fall far short of overcoming the vote in the antiorganizatlon districts and the Tenth ward. Then Dorsey and his lieutenants gave up the fight and, leaving the organization headquarters, sought a place where they could drown their grief and make plans for the future. Near headquarters Dorsey met Harry Wendell. The defeated leader looked at the young lawyer with a scowl. "You think you beat me. don't you,w growied the ex-boss "you and your reformers? Well, you didn't I can down your crowd every time. It was the babies that beat me."

FROM 001 THE SHE

Telegraph News by Direct Wiro from All Over Indiana.

Jpffersonvllle, Ind.. June 1. A curious anomaly exists in the method vf selling coal here, and people moving here from othor places are puzled. There are two standards. oru for river or southern coal and one for Indiana coal. The condition atiscs from

a custom which has long prevailed in i Louisville of selling coal by the buh- ' el and allowing seventy-two pounds tt the bushel. It is said dealers can buy I

seventy-six pounds to tlie biL-hel. and the difference of four pounds is allowed for screening. Louisville tner- ! chants then sell twenty-five bushels to the "load," 1.8(H) pounds. This is not called a ton, but has taken the place of a ten. Has to Pay More for a Ton. IYices are here, as in Ixnivil!e. quoted by the bushel or load, the present price for Pittsburg being 1-t cents a bushel, or $3.25 a load. Should some newcomer ask for a ton he is quoted ".f, or $3.r.2H if be order two or more tons. Such a purchase is surprised when be finds some one else has been buying at $3.25, but learns that there is a difference between a "load" and a ton. In addition to this confusion is the fact that the legal bushel for Indiana mined coal is eighty pounds, but local dealers find that screening takes 10 per cent, and stick to the seventy-two ioiinds, if selling by the bushel, though giving 2,000

pounds where a ton is ordered.
