In France Jimmy Ford adopts a
police puppy, names it Bin-Tin-Tin
and smuggles it, home. Murtagh, a
crooked politician, covets Jimmy's
sweetheart, Butli Allen. Jimmy's
. father, a Xeic York police lieuten-
ant, is jnysteriously murdered.
Jimmy joins the Force to avengt
him. Jimmy has an able ally in
Minty, voio fnllrgroicn. Murtagh,
fearing Jimmy, has him assigned
io the deadline neighborhood of
the Hudson Busters, a gang he se-
cretly lead*. After a heroic fight
with the pang Jimmy is made a
sergeant. The gang take an oath
to get ei~en with Jimmy and Rinty.
Ilurtagh has a foxy plan—
CHAPTER IX
Not without reason was th« girl
who lived alone and luxuriously in
a suite in the best hotel that Chel-
sea could boast, known ae "New
York Nell.” She was as typical of
New York as the Battery; as little
•Id New “Yorkey” as the east side
and west side pavements that had
become sentimentally and songful-
ly associated with the name of Gov-
a canM*g hypocrite lay behind that
suave mask—-he would have pulver-
ized it with his own bare hands,
which were none the less sturdy
and aggressive because they were
holy!
But he did not know. Nobody
did. Murtagh was all the more
safe in hie dual life, because those
on the sunny side of it were free of
guile, while those on the shady side
were too deeply Involved in crime,
too hopelessly enmeshed in his
power, to hound and persecute and
reveal, should they turn on him, to
ever dream of squealing. The au-
dacity and cocksureness of the
thing was hie protection!
Therefore he ruled his subter-
ranean kingdom without fear; and
on this morning when he and the
gang awaited the return of Old Bill
with New York Nell Murtagh was
in especially keen mettle. He felt,
and with good cause, that the plot
| he was about to spring would dis-
! pose of Jimmy Ford and Rinty for-
i ever as factors who obstacled the
path of hie covert progress toward
affluenc#—toward the day when he
could take Ruth Allen, whether or
not she liked it, away to some far
place of Idleness and sensual ease.
Already in his thoughts MurlagS,
had fallen on Sicilian days! Fnr,
tanlsh as the ges tanks of Avenue
A—and eqyallyl at home in either
aeighborhood.
The fbe!s«a waterfront under-
world knew full-well it was ban the

.-•s Times Square and as Manhat-j a'ter Jimmy and Rinty, who was
there to possibly thwart hint? No
one, Dan knew full well, had any-
thing “on.him’’ In any way whatso-
ever. Den had felt that Lieutenant
Ford, Jimtny’-s father, knew him for
what he was: he also felt that the
j son inherited hi* father's suspt*
Dude’s money that maintained her j cions. But he knew also that the
In such high living style, especially boy had no proof. And surely riot
In these ijays when her nimble fin- / 1 siR»le one of the gang had an
ger^ sharpened to sensitheness bf > rculd lie borne out'in trial, except
the fact that he had directed the
gang’s rum running operations.
The murder of Police Lieutenant
James Ford. Sr., had been a* much
of a mystery to the Hudson Busters
as It had been to the world at
large! For once the individual
members of the gang had told tbs
truth when, questioned by the po-
lice. they had denied all knowledge
of it. And for all anyone knew, for
all any shade of his expression or
thoughts Indicated, it was just an
much of a mystery to Pan the
Dude Murtagh, too.
So, to repeat, Murtagh wan in
food fettle; felt that he was sitting
on toj> of a rising world; for the
twentieth time he wa9 indulgently

reflection upon our business capacity that we can sit by and

Be that as it oiay. she was uot at
all devoid ot the usual ^-iaiuine at-
tributes of vanity, of "desire lor

was her power to love anywise be-
low the similar power of her less
sinful sisters, Live is neither gov-
erned nor gauged by vocation, oth-
er things being equal. Whether or
not Dan Murtagh loved Nell was
something that none of the Butters
had ever been able to And out,
though they took it for granted.
He maintained her in affluence, and
miration of himself, and the.'bulk
of the gang, who were lost in envy
and self abasement before his
