A week after the tramp excitement had passed over, the city water began to smell and to taste. The Kronborgs had a well in their back yard and did not use city water, but they heard the complaints of their neighbors. At first people said that the town well was full of rotting cottonwood roots, but the engineer at the pumping-station convinced the mayor that the water left the well untainted.
"That's more like it," approved Brennan. "I've been in a few forlorn hope fights before and have seen the impossible happen, in fact, helped it happen." "I'm depending on you more than anyone else," said the mayor. Turning to John he added: "And you, too, Gallant."

Then he added, to Cargan: "That's my answer. I'm going to let him in." "Let him in," bellowed the mayor. "Let the hound in. I guess I've got something to say to Mr. Hayden." There came to Magee's ears the sound of opening doors, and of returning footsteps. "How do you do, Cargan," said a voice new to Baldpate. "Cut the society howdydoes," replied the mayor hotly.
