GETTING NEWS FoR NOTHING.


TO the City to DO Bd1iucae
Two cents does not seem to be laTye
sum Of money to invest in the pEF-
chase Of supply Of the morning news
One would scarcely expect business
man who Is able to rent a high-priced
office to halt at giving a couple Of PEN
MES for a newspaper. Yet this is just
what any untold number OF reputable
business men DO every morning OF
their lives. They enter the elevated
roads and devote half the trip into the
city furtively watching for a dropped
paper that they may get the news with
out cost. They know from long ex-
perience that half the men who read
on the trains finish the perusal Of the
morning sheet before they reach the
stopping station. This fact presents
the opportunity TO him who wants news
and Is unwilling to pay for 1t. Yester-
oay the writer entered south side ell
evated train well down toward the
jackson park terminus with a Chron-
iele in his hand. He took the smoker
and sat down to read. Being OF an OBJ
servant turn, he soon became aware
tnat he was watched furIively by q
portly. well-dressed man Just across
the car. He paid but little attention
until he saw the same man taking in
every other with a paper. Then the
writer took mental notes. Before the
train reached Indiana avenue FIVE men
under espionage quietly folded up their
papers and put them in their pockets.
The portly man dropped them with
sigh and gave the writer more atten-
ton. 1t was poor morning for "a
Fellow hungerlng for news but too poor

er carelessly dropped his paper On the
seat beside him It waa in the same
seat occupied by the owner. so tie
portly man was not nervy enough io
swoop down upon It. His gyraIio1s
for the remainder Of the trip were very
amusing. He twisted and turned. new
er permitting that paper to escape his
eye. while keeping watch and ward for
any other which might be left without
guardian. But none fell to his lot
and he watched hungrily. like a dog
shadowing bone. until the station at
Madison street and Fifth avenue was
reached. Here the writer began 10 get
ready TO leave the train. As it slowed
down he rose. buttoned his coat. and
took one step toward the forward
part Of the car. As he did Sc the
portly man made dare for that paper.
But he never got It. for the writer
turned half around. and. calmly pick

and while have no further use for IT,

The trustees at last yielded to the
pressure. They appointed a day for a
meeting, and the Rev. Mr.. Atwood and
the Tilted sixteen were summoned to
appear before them. The girls had
talked 1t over, and they agreed to make
it so hot for the minister that he would
be glad to escape alive.

Atwood is not a good man. He may
be a foolish one. He is very young.

boards before they gain discretion. Mr.
has delicate down where some day
he may have a mustache
1t should be said in the beginning
that Mr.. Atwood was not flirt He
was not amusing himself. This is
shown by the fact that he didn't turn
his back on the whole seventeen. He
married one and Tilted the other six
teen. What more could a well-mean-
ing young minister do?, Certainly he
couldn't marry all of the young wom-
en-, nCr even two of them and. keep
out of jail, to say nothing of retaining
his honesty
If the young minister had been an
evil man. if he had left behind him
something more than piQue and a few
shattered affections, this would have
been a different story. But his flirta-
tons, if such they may be called, were
innocent enough. Miss Frances Bur
rell, who is one of the Tilted, says she
doesn't blame Charlie at ALL which
goes to show that some of them hold
him in esteem.
LIST OF THE FIANCEES.
It may be thought that the number
of young women is merely an offhand
estimate. 1t is nothing of the kind.
