In the main he disagreed with his uncle, but in this particular instance it might be well to wait and pray that matters might improve. Father Tom believed Ned Kavanagh to be a good boy. Ned was going to marry Mary Byrne, and Father Tom had made up this marriage. The Byrnes did not care for the marriage they were prejudiced against Ned on account of his family.
While they were doing this, Peter drove uptown, and went into Dickel's riding academy. As he passed through the office, a man came out. "Ah, Mr. Stirling. Good-morning." "Good-morning, Mr. Byrnes," said Peter. "How serious is it likely to be?" "We can't say yet. But the force has all it can do now to handle the Anarchists and unemployed, and if this strike takes place we shall need you."
For though Charley Ross was stolen in Philadelphia, the search for him centered in the metropolis. The three-million-dollar burglary within the shadow of Police Headquarters gave us Inspector Byrnes, who broke up the old gangs of crooks and drove those whom he did not put in jail over the sea to ply their trade in Europe.
"Musgrave!" said the superintendent. A man appeared so suddenly that he seemed to come out of the wall. "Shadow the couple that has just left here," said Byrnes. "You are under Mr. Carter's orders until dismissed by him." Musgrave turned to Nick. "I have no special instructions," said Nick, "except that you keep your eyes on the woman."
It is building tenements on the humane plan that lets in sunshine and air and hope. It is putting up hotels deserving of the name for the army that but just now had no other home than the cheap lodging houses which Inspector Byrnes fitly called "nurseries of crime."

All these and many other thoughts must have rushed through the mind of the superintendent, in the pause which followed Hammond's declaration. Byrnes looked at Nick for an explanation.
I would have suggested that the poor child be left asleep this morning." Now he saw that she had something to tell him. "Nothing went wrong last night after I left, I hope." "Oh, not wrong," Miss Wollaston conceded, "only the Whitneys went of course, when you did and the Byrnes, and Wallace Hood, but Portia Stanton and that new husband of hers stayed. It was his doing, I suppose.
Peter passed into another room where were eight men. "Good-morning, Colonel," said one. "You are prompt." "What is the trouble?" "The Central has decided to make a general reduction. They put it in force at noon to-day, and are so certain that the men will go out, that they've six hundred new hands ready somewhere to put right in." "Byrnes tells me he has all he can do." "Yes.
There was that in Byrnes which made me stand up for him in spite of it all. Twice I held Dr. Parkhurst from his throat, but in the end I had to admit that the Doctor was right. I believed that, untrammelled, Byrnes might have been a mighty engine for good, and it was with sorrow I saw him go. He left no one behind him fit to wear his shoes. Byrnes was a born policeman.
