JusT as Walker was abouT To answer, Lip- schuTz, his secreTary, came in wiThouT knock- ing, and announced ThaT There was a cerTain Dr. Gold To see him. Show him righT in, said Walker, and Once again he Turned Towards Waldman. Again he was inTerrupTed. BuT This Time iT was Dr. Gold and Dr. KabakoTT who sTOod be- Tore him. ATTer Taking one look aT Them, Walker sud- denly remembered Their case. They were Two promising medicos aT The l-leighTs l-lospiTal who had oTTended one OT The ciTy's leading poliTicians. They were boTh ready To operaTe on one OT The many chariTy cases in The hos- piTal. All was ready when suddenly an orderly had bursT inTo The room.

BuT nOT so Tor Mr. Waldman. l-le had been a silenT specTaTOr To The proceedings. l-le, TOO, had heard OT Gold and KabakOTT, and, when he saw The summary dismissal OT These Two men, he saw red. However, even in mOmenTs OT anger, Wald- man could sTill Think clearly. l-le saw ThaT The case OT These Two medicos was hopeless, and as Tor his own, iT would probably resulT in would-be shakedown aTTer shakedown. Come onl he said TO KabakOTT and Gold, his mind made up. We'll go TO a group ThaT can really help us. JusT sTick around wiTh me and you'll Tind plenTy OT pOssibiliTies. Yes, sir! PlenTy OT possibiliTieS. 'Twas The nighT OT The elecTion. The campaign was over. All ThaT remained was The Tinal Taking and accounTing OT The voTes Trom The ciTy precincTs.

And so They saT, smiles on Their lips only. Among Them were gaThered The TaiThTul.' These were The men who had done Their biT Toward helping The FusionisT movemenT.
