Delauny, throwing the citizens into an uproar. The central station was reach ed close to the business quarter, and the initial trip was finished amidst blaze of glory and no dust. The smooth hard pike was sprinkled by the machine as 1t sped along and not a particle of dirt reached the passengers. When time for the return trip arrived representative citi- zens of Spinlxville fairly crawled over one another in an effort to get aboard. but as only twenty-five were allowed to enter,, many were disappointed. This was pay trip.
 We'll after that day the success of the Spinkvlle Automobile Express company was assured. Stock of the company soar ed in the local Wall street and specula- tors fought for the privilege of buying. Several more electric busses were put on and a regular shedule adopted To avoid accidents a speedway was built along the pike and along this the expresses made their tripe between Spinkville and De- launy. This privilege was secured from the county on condition that Colonel Whoopdeah's company would engage to keep the entire pike between the two towns in fine condition Soon three ex- press motors left Spinkville every morn- ing at six, seven and eight o'clock for Delduny ana returned at 1Our, nVe ana six o'clock in the afternoon. As 1t soon became quite the swagger thing to ride on the expresses the trolley cars were entirely neglected by the opulent citizens of Spinkville who constituted the entire population of the town.
 Colonel Whoopdeah assumed a highly prosperous appearance. He wore clean linen every day and also wore a smile The Delauny Consolidated Hyphenated Electrical Power and Supply company continued to jest but its smile had now become so very broad that 1t developed into an incipient case of a hanging lower jaw on the part of the president
 Soon every influential man in Spink- vile. the home of bankers, owned private seat in one of the automobile expresses. Colonel Whoopdeah sold tick cts good for one month which entitled the holder to a numbered seat. In this way every holder of a ticket was always sure of having a seat, for if he were not on board 1t went unoccupied. These tickets were sold at a fancy price but 1t was bagatelle to the affluent clientele of the Spinkville Automobile Express com pany.
 The climax seemed to have been reach- ed when the Matinee Express was put on by Colonel Whoopdeah and his enter prizing associates. This was designed to accommodate the women and children of | Spnkville who wished to go into town during the afternoon on shopping excur- sions, to attend the theatre, or to call on friends. Heretofore the trolleys had monopolized this passenger traffic but

Colonel Whoopdeah was boiling over with wrath So great were his emo- tions he had trouble in artlculating dis tinctly. Perhaps 1t was his righteous anger that caused his tongue to stum- ble over certain words as he heaped in- vectives on the head of the conductor.

 The surly conductor evidently so dared, for he calmly dropped the irate colonel by the track, jerked the cord and pro- ceeded merrily on his way.
 The next day the portentous figure ap- peared at the private office of the De- launy Consolidated Hyphenated Elec- trical Power Supply company. When ad- mitted to the presence of the youthful president a stormy scene ensued. At first the colonel adopted an injured tone and stated his wrongs quietly. The president did not care to tell him in so many words that he had been drinking the day the conductor put him off the Spink- vile car, after a certain fat woman had

tired eyes were greeted by gems of verse plucked from Omar Kahyam. Such thing as crowding was positively pho hibited, and no one, no matter how prominent, could get aboard with his arms full of bundles. As each passen- ger had a separate seat 1t worked like a charm. When the conductor came around he had change enough in his pockets to change 5000 bill. The latest financial news was displayed where it could be easily read by all. splendid Regina could furnish the occupants with a snatch from the newest opera by means of the motors wheels, but no one had nerve enough to ask for a tune.
 As the Business Mans Express" swept along at speed of 40 miles an hour, its crimson hue a brilliant dash of color along the horizon, the passen- gers lolling comfortable in their chairs and puffing wreaths of smoke, or chat ting pleasantly, it made brave show. In fact the trolley cars that were over- taken at intervals reminded one of soda pop trying to keep company with a cock tail. The penetrating notes of the horn were startling and yet not disagreeable. They served admirably to keep the coast clear. Dumb animals fled precipitately at the first warning note.

when the handsome new motors were put in service it was all off with the De- iauny company. The ladies had been just dying' to ride since the first express made it3 trip Colonel Whoopdeah was now living in affluence and was setting such a pace in the inner circles of De- launy that staid persons held their breaths in awe. It was whispered about that he was the logical candidate for mayor when the next election was held and it was believed that he had designs on the United States senate.
 In the meanwhile the executive head of the Delauny Consolidated Hyphenated Electrical Power and Supply company began to do some tall thinking He fig- ured it out that the trolley car service to the exclusive suburb of Spinkville had become a dead loss. Tn fact, the cars spun back and forth with not soul on board. The only persons who rode at all were a few servants, newspaper men with passes and other people of low de- gree. The line was lacking in tone, and that was the prime essential.
 One day Colonel Whoopdeah was seat ed comfortably in his private office pull ing on his little sixty-cent cigar, when a visitor was announced. In his astonish- ment the colonel first dropped his feet to the floor from the top of his desk and then quickly elevated them again. The caller was the president of the De-

 The conversation had lasted one hour.

 The president protested, but it was of no avail. Colonel Whoopdeah was not to be cajoled, and, at last, the crest fallen executive gave up the fight.
