Pinski
is
escorted
out
by
friends
--
completely
surrounded
--
amid
shrieks
and
hisses
,
cat-calls
,
cries
of
"
Boodler
!
"
"
Thief
!
"
"
Robber

There
were
many
such
little
dramatic
incidents
after
the
ordinance
had
been
introduced
.
Henceforth
on
the
streets
,
in
the
wards
and
outlying
sections
,
and
even
,
on
occasion
,
in
the
business
heart
,
behold
the
marching
clubs
--
those
sinister
,
ephemeral
organizations
which
on
demand
of
the
mayor
had
cropped
out
into
existence
--
great
companies
of
the
unheralded
,
the
dull
,
the
undistinguished
--
clerks
,
working-men
,
small
business
men
,
and
minor
scions
of
religion
or
morality
;
all
tramping
to
and
fro
of
an
evening
,
after
working-hours
,
assembling
in
cheap
halls
and
party
club-houses
,
and
drilling
themselves
to
what
end
?
That
they
might
march
to
the
city
hall
on
the
fateful
Monday
night
when
the
street-railway
ordinances
should
be
up
for
passage
and
demand
of
unregenerate
lawmakers
that
they
do
their
duty
.
Cowperwood
,
coming
down
to
his
office
one
morning
on
his
own
elevated
lines
,
was
the
observer
of
a
button
or
badge
worn
upon
the
coat
lapel
of
stolid
,
inconsequential
citizens
who
sat
reading
their
papers
,
unconscious
of
that
presence
which
epitomized
the
terror
and
the
power
they
all
feared
.
One
of
these
badges
had
for
its
device
a
gallows
with
a
free
noose
suspended
;
another
was
blazoned
with
the
query
:
"
Are
we
going
to
be
robbed
?
"
On
sign-boards
,
fences
,
and
dead
walls
huge
posters
,
four
by
six
feet
in
dimension
,
were
displayed
.
