Wisner, while others declared that the Wrights' butler had eloped with the second-floor maid of the Wisner household; though still others insisted the Wisner gardener had disappeared with the heiress of Alderman Wright, the well-known citizen whose re-election at the coming term was practically assured.
"Unto them that hath is gave," says Old Man Wright, looking peaceful. "Like enough, most all the bands in this part of town'll be here before long. Pore old Dave Wisner, he don't seem to have no band; so I'll fix him up he don't seem cheerful, with his blinds down thataway. Round up our bands, Curly," says he, "and line some of 'em up in front of his house on the other side of the street.
J. L. Corning, one of the early members, George W. Mabie, T. W. Lauterdale, Philip M. Knight, Geo. W. Bardwell, Elijah R. Kennedy, Frank M. Brooks, Horace D. Sherrill, Jas. A. Brodie, Chas. N.

What do you mean by that?" "Huh!" says her pa. "That's what they all say. Old Man Wisner was crazy when he heard something about it he was going to get out a injunction. I hope he'll try it; for he can't. Seems like most of the things he's been trying on us he couldn't make go." "Well, dad, I don't believe I'd like that barracks on our land either. Suppose we all think it over a little bit."
"They'll get along all right now," says the hired man James, or Jimmie, or Jim, whatever you ought to call him. I couldn't believe he was young Mr. James Wisner. Sometimes I don't hardly even yet. "You ought to be ashamed of yourselves," says Bonnie Bell. "I declare, men are brutes anyhow!" "I know it, Bonnie Bell," says I. "I've made plenty of trouble, but not no more.
They ain't done counting all the Wright votes yet over in that ward of ours. At about half past six they'd had time enough to count all the sufferedges that Old Man Wisner taken down in the silk-stocking part of that ward. At about half past three in the afternoon the papers come out with bulletins and says the ward was "conceded to Wright." I should say it was conceded!

He looks over at Old Man Wright and they both look at this young man; and they both nod. "That's a good idea," says Old Man Wright "a damn good idea! Now then, we're beginning to talk.
You see, Katherine kissed me right here in a soft spot on top of my old bald head." He rubs the place then. Bonnie Bell she kisses him there too for maybe sever'l million. After a while I sort of moved over toward the door, it seeming like it wasn't no place for me no more. "Where you going?" says Old Man Wright to me; and Old Man Wisner he says something, too, about my not being in a hurry.
For that matter, I didn't like the way he talked about you neither. I told him we couldn't have nothing to do with the lower classes let alone now, when we're alderman, we couldn't do that. He was fired and he ought to of been." "How did you come to know all this, Curly?" says she. "I heard him down at the boathouse talking to Old Lady Wisner.
