In the first place he is a voter, and the ward-worker, the policeman, and the saloon-keeper never forget this fact. An illustration of the policeman's interest in the voter as an applicant for charity may be found wherever the police are allowed to become distributors of alms.
"That's how," replied the saloon-keeper, with a triumphant grin at the plausible Slum. "Wal, now. You plumb rattle me. To think o' your goin' over from a pal like that," said Slum, protestingly, while the butcher guffawed and stretched his arms further along the bar. "Guess he's had some," observed the carpenter, shuffling his cards anew.
As I broke the seal, pulled out the cork and unwrapped the cigar from its gold foil he took a stick and rapped loudly on the floor. After a brief interval footsteps were heard on the stairs and Mike Monahan, white aproned and scarlet faced, appeared at the door. "Bobtails," said Mr. Jason, laconically. "It's them I thought ye'd be wanting," said the saloon-keeper, holding out a handful.
But what's this?" the roundsman had found some letters and a pocketbook in an inner pocket of the chauffeur's closely buttoned jacket "M. Anatole Labergerie, care of Morris Siegelman, saloon-keeper, East Broadway, N. Y.," he said. "You know someone named Anatole, anyhow, so we are warm, as the kids say," he went on sarcastically. "I say nothing. I admit nothing.
Wondering what was the matter, I hastened, and soon was hearing this: "In one of the houses on Street, I have just learned from one of my men, who was told by a near-by saloon-keeper, of a young girl inmate who has been constantly in tears for the past two weeks, a new-comer aged about sixteen. I want some one to get her away from there.
I have had the boy with me since he was a kid, and though I've been rough with him at times, maybe, I like him, and I may some time have a chance to show him that old Tim Bolton is one of his best friends." "I will believe it now, Mr. Bolton," said Florence, impulsively, holding out her hand to the burly saloon-keeper.
The saloon-keeper finally spoke. "If anybody else wins, they'll have to take a mortgage on the Tivoli." The two other players nodded. "So I call, too." MacDonald added his slip for five thousand. Not one of them claimed the pot, and not one of them called the size of his hand.
The detectives also seemed to regard it as nothing out of the common, and as to the saloon-keeper, so much worse things wuz happenin' all the time in his profession, so much worse crimes, that he and his rich pardner, the American Govermunt, sees goin' on all the time in their countless places of bizness, murders, suicides, etc., that they evidently seemed to consider this a very commonplace affair; and so of the other house kep' by the two pardners, the brazen-faced old hag and Christian America, there, too, so many more terrible things wuz occurrin' all the time that this wuz a very tame thing to talk about.
A grey daylight, peering in through the window of the office, scarcely lit the remote corners of the room. Brand had breakfasted by lamplight. The saloon-keeper was more than thankful for the comforting warmth of the great wood stove they were standing over. "Guess it looks like bein' our last real cold snap," Alroy said, by way of making talk with a man who was always difficult.
He says he's a queer mixture of prizefighter and politician. He can protect anything he likes, and pretty nearly drive out anything he doesn't like. Isn't it worth while making a bid for his support? It may please him to be asked." "Who is he?" "Oh, a saloon-keeper, Irish, ex-pugilist. His name is Michael Shay. He's easy to find," said Jim. "Let's go now," said Hopkins.
