Gladness suffused fhe faces of all presenf. In a lull of fhe con- versafion a greaf, booming voice, belonging fo Phil Mehler, suddenly boomed ouf, Say fellowsl Do you remember The prophecy fhey had abouf us in fhe '34 Elchanife? .... Nine men saf in conclave, a remarkably heferogeneous group in a decidedly unpre- possessing afmosphere. The chairs were crude affairs undecided whefher fhey should cave in or nof. The fable had already decided. If was none ofher fhan a broken-down billiard fable. The fallesf of fhis ill-assorfed group was a cold, dignified individual. He raised his eye- brows as fwo men, one of whom was of me- dium heighl' and overbearing, fhe ofher quife shorf and quick-fempered, began fo quarrel. During fhe proceedings, fwo men had saf back and wafched fhe fransacfions wifh ill- concealed confempf. To bofh Levinson and Sapersfein, fhe cheap polifical wrangle which was going on, fhe division of 'lhe spoils, fhe seemingly endless plans fo appropriafe some more honesl' graff, were exceedingly dis- fasfeful. Now, as if fo add insulf fo iniury, fhey were wifnessing fhe specfacle of fhe fwo leaders of fheir respecfive parfies lfo fhe public in- fense rivalsl, H. Engel and H. Ribner, fighfing over fhe small mafler of fhe division of a few palfry iudgeships! You can'f gef away wifh if! Ribner had shoufed across fhe fable af Engel. I wanf fhose iudgeships. You fhink you've gof fhe elecfion cinched iusf because you've gof Eisenberg and Neufeld, poinfing fo fhe dis- finguishecl-looking individual and fo a fall, handsome man siffing beside him, and fhey're in wifh fhe swells.

Says who? Says me! fhaf's who! and .... With fhis fhe meefing suddenly losf ifs or- dinary calm. Brass knuckles, indispensable fo a polifician, were produced in a frice, and fhe affair would have soon fumed info a shambles. The fwo calm individuals, Sapersfein and Levinson, had been conversing wifh each ofher. Suddenly, fhe Honorable Nafhan Lev- inson gof up, and shoufing fhrough his sfove- pipe, made himself heard above fhe din. And whaf he said quiefed even fhese embaffled souls.
