It
was
not
time
for
love
,
and
he
felt
it
.
"
No
,
"
he
said
,
almost
coldly
,
"
I
think
not
.
"
"
Frank
,
do
n't
let
this
thing
make
you
forget
me
for
long
,
please
.
You
wo
n't
,
will
you
?
I
love
you
so
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
I
wo
n't
!
"
he
replied
earnestly
,
quickly
and
yet
absently
.
"
I
ca
n't
!
Do
n't
you
know
I
wo
n't
?
"
He
had
started
to
kiss
her
,
but
a
noise
disturbed
him
.
"
Sh
!
"
He
walked
to
the
door
,
and
she
followed
him
with
eager
,
sympathetic
eyes
.
What
if
anything
should
happen
to
her
Frank
?
What
if
anything
could
?
What
would
she
do
?
That
was
what
was
troubling
her
.
What
would
,
what
could
she
do
to
help
him
?
He
looked
so
pale
--
strained
.
The
condition
of
the
Republican
party
at
this
time
in
Philadelphia
,
its
relationship
to
George
W.
Stener
,
Edward
Malia
Butler
,
Henry
A.
Mollenhauer
,
Senator
Mark
Simpson
,
and
others
,
will
have
to
be
briefly
indicated
here
,
in
order
to
foreshadow
Cowperwood
's
actual
situation
.
Butler
,
as
we
have
seen
,
was
normally
interested
in
and
friendly
to
Cowperwood
.
Stener
was
Cowperwood
's
tool
.
Mollenhauer
and
Senator
Simpson
were
strong
rivals
of
Butler
for
the
control
of
city
affairs
.
Simpson
represented
the
Republican
control
of
the
State
legislature
,
which
could
dictate
to
the
city
if
necessary
,
making
new
election
laws
,
revising
the
city
charter
,
starting
political
investigations
,
and
the
like
.
He
had
many
influential
newspapers
,
corporations
,
banks
,
at
his
beck
and
call
.
Mollenhauer
represented
the
Germans
,
some
Americans
,
and
some
large
stable
corporations
--
a
very
solid
and
respectable
man
.
All
three
were
strong
,
able
,
and
dangerous
politically
.
The
two
latter
counted
on
Butler
's
influence
,
particularly
with
the
Irish
,
and
a
certain
number
of
ward
leaders
and
Catholic
politicians
and
laymen
,
who
were
as
loyal
to
him
as
though
he
were
a
part
of
the
church
itself
.
Butler
's
return
to
these
followers
was
protection
,
influence
,
aid
,
and
good-will
generally
.
The
city
's
return
to
him
,
via
Mollenhauer
and
Simpson
,
was
in
the
shape
of
contracts
--
fat
ones
--
street-paving
,
bridges
,
viaducts
,
sewers
.
And
in
order
for
him
to
get
these
contracts
the
affairs
of
the
Republican
party
,
of
which
he
was
a
beneficiary
as
well
as
a
leader
,
must
be
kept
reasonably
straight
.
At
the
same
time
it
was
no
more
a
part
of
his
need
to
keep
the
affairs
of
the
party
straight
than
it
was
of
either
Mollenhauer
's
or
Simpson
's
,
and
Stener
was
not
his
appointee
.
The
latter
was
more
directly
responsible
to
Mollenhauer
than
to
any
one
else
.
As
Butler
stepped
into
the
buggy
with
his
son
he
was
thinking
about
this
,
and
it
was
puzzling
him
greatly
.
