The relation of these two men to the present political situation was peculiar, and, as it turned out, was to constitute the weak spot in the Cowperwood-McKenty campaign. Tiernan and Kerrigan, to begin with, being neighbors and friends, worked together in politics and business, on occasions pooling their issues and doing each other favors.
About five o'clock Lise was coming home along Fillmore Street after an uneventful, tedious and manless holiday spent in the company of Miss Schuler and other friends when she perceived Mr. Tiernan seated on his steps, grinning and waving a tattered palm-leaf fan. "The mercury is sure on the jump," he observed. "You'd think it was July." And Lise agreed.

Pulling out a large nickel watch and observing that they had just time to catch the train, he locked up his shop, and they set out together for the station. Mr. Tiernan led the way, for the path was narrow. The dry snow squeaked under his feet.
They passed the spot where, the night before, the carriage had stopped, where Ditmar had bidden her good-bye. Something stirred within her, became a shooting pain.... She asked Mr. Tiernan what he intended to do. "I'm going right after the man, if he's here in the city," he told her. And they boarded a street car, which almost immediately shot into the darkness of the subway.
With Johnny Tiernan alone he refused to enter the lists. When the popular proprietor of the tin shop came sauntering along the sidewalk with nose uptilted, waving genial greetings to the various groups on the steps, Chris Auermann's expression would suddenly change to one of fatuous playfulness. "What's this I hear about giving the girls the vote, Chris?"
"You're lucky to have any supper at all. I just wish I could get you to take a look at that oven there's a hole you can put your hand through, if you've a mind to. I've done my best, I've made out to patch it from time to time, and to-day I had Mr. Tiernan in. He says it's a miracle I've been able to bake anything.
It would have drawn the fire of all the respectable elements in the city. As a result both Tiernan and Kerrigan, thinking over their services, past and future, felt very much disgruntled. They were really not large enough mentally to understand how dangerous outside of certain fields of activity they were to the party.
She remembered that she had not thanked him, she took his hand, but he cut her short. "It's glad I was to help you," he assured her. "And if there's anything more I can do, Miss Janet, you'll be letting me know you'll call on Johnny Tiernan, won't you?" He left her at the gate. He had intruded with no advice, he had offered no comment that she had come downstairs alone, without Lise.
Alderman Altvast. "Yea." Fear had conquered him. "Well, there's one baby down." Alderman Kerrigan. "Yep." "Ballenberg?" "Yea." Alderman Tiernan. "Say, has Ballenberg weakened?" Alderman Kerrigan. "It looks that way." "Canna?" "Yea." "Fogarty?" "Yea." "There goes Fogarty." "Hvranek?" "Yea." Alderman Tiernan. "And Hvranek!" "It's coming out of their hair."
