They kept their provisions in a little box, which they locked with a padlock; but as Daley had the keys of the cell, they had no means of locking the door. At length Manuel set a trap that proved effectual. One morning Tommy came puffing into the jail with a satchel over his back.

"I've got to keep an eye on the people that are left here; you see they've had a pretty hard summer." "Not so hard as you have!" said the old man, as the agent went along the street. "You've never had a day of rest more than once or twice since you were born!" There were two letters and a pamphlet for Father Daley and a thin handful of circulars for the company.

"We'll let you in for anything that's going as soon as we can you know that." "Sure," agreed Daley. "But don't keep us waiting all day. The presses are like animals they have to be fed, you know. First editions don't wait for gum-shoe men, even if they're of the first water. And I've got a city editor who has a temper like a bear with a sore nose in huckleberry time.

At the beginning of the fight the bosses counted upon the active support of the influential Democratic leaders throughout the state, like Robert S. Hudspeth of Hudson County, Johnston Cornish of Warren County, Edward E. Grosscup of Gloucester County, Barney Gannon and Peter Daley of Middlesex County, old Doctor Barber of Warren County, Otto Wittpenn of Hudson County, Billy French and Judge Westcott of Camden, Dave Crater of Monmouth, and minor bosses or leaders in south and middle Jersey.

Now the jailer had done his duty, so far as his feelings were concerned; but, such were the stern requirements of the law, and his functions so restricted by Mr. Grimshaw, that he dare not make distinctions. He called Daley, one of the criminal assistants, and ordered him to show the prisoner his room.

You ah you didn't have much Latin before you came here, I take it?" "Had enough," growled Steve, "but nothing like this. I've had Cæsar and some Cicero. I never had any luck with Latin, anyway." And Steve viewed the open book with distaste. "It's the quantity, then, you find ah difficult," said Mr. Daley. "As far as grammar is concerned, I take it you are ah well grounded, Edwards?"

I wanted to ask if you'd let me have a couple more days for it. You see, sir, I've been having a pretty hard time with Latin, and and there hasn't been any time for the composition, sir." "I see." Mr. Daley viewed Steve dubiously. "I'm sorry, Edwards. I'm afraid you are not er trying very hard to accomplish your work these days." "I am trying, sir, but but the Latin " Steve hesitated. "Mr.

And at the same time Beaufort, raising himself weakly on one elbow, gazed bewilderedly from Penny to the faces of the newcomers. "I'm not through," he muttered thickly. "Wait a minute!" "I think you are through, Beaufort," said Mr. Daley coldly. "Pick up your coat, please, and put it on. Durkin, do the same." Silently they obeyed, Mr. Conklin helping the dazed Beaufort to his unsteady feet.

And and I'd like you to believe me, sir." "I want to, Edwards, I want to," replied Mr. Daley eagerly. "And er to-day your story sounds much more plausible.

"I left something there earlier in the evening. I won't be a minute getting it." In about half-an-hour, as they approached the hay barn where Andy had overheard the conversation between Daley and Murdock, he slipped down from the wagon. He ran ahead, went up among the hay bales, found the coat containing the marble bag holding his little stock of money, and speedily rejoined the musician.
