Abner Calklns was resting. In
order to rest properly it was
necessary that Aoner should have
his feet elevated to approximately
the same height as his head, so
he had carefully placed them on
the railing in the City Clerks
office. The City CLERK was an
old friend, and 80 was the railing.
Whenever Abner came to town
to make purchases or to dispose
of the produce of his farm, he In.
varlably called on the City Clerk
and made temporary use of the
railing.
On this occasion the City Clerk
was deeply interested in an old
typewriter. He inserted a sheet
OF paper, and then hit all the
keys one after another, begin
ming at the upper left-hand cor.
ner and ending at the lower right
hand corner.
Il don't see what's the matter
with that machine" he said at
last. "lt's rather old and some
OF the letters are worn, but 1T
works all right"
"ls 1t yourn?' asked Abner
casually.
mo; 1T belongs to the city"
answered the City 3lerk. "It has
been discarded by one of the de
partments and Pm the custodian" :"
The what" demanded Abner.
The custodian" explained tie
city Clerk. 81 have charge of it,.
have charge of all the supplies
and In fact of all property that
isn't in use, but Pm blessed if |
know what to do with this.
They're getting mighty particular
when they discard so good a ma
chine"
Abner puffed at his corncob
pipe meditatively for a few MIN
utes.
Liz is dead set to have one o.
them things" he remarked at
last. "Never saw such a girl in
my llfe-thinks she's going to be
story writer an says nothin's
no good only when IT'S writ on a
ty pe-write machine. If they
didn't cost so blame much I'd gIt

"Why don't you buy this one ?"
asked the City Clerk. Its go.
ing to the store room and IT'S no
use there"
How muchb" said Abner, with
the terseness that characterized
him when the question was one
of dollars and cents.
"Oh, / guess you could hava It
for ten dollars" replied the City
Clerk.
Abner Cslkins took his feet
from the railing and let the front
egs of his chair come down with
q thump, az he reached for his
pocket book.
"I'll take it," he announced,
winding the string that encir

"Ex officio. l mean that's one
the duties of my position is to
take care of all such things, and
they can only leave my possession
on the written order of the Mayor
or the City Treasurer. You pay
ten dollars to Rarkley, the Treas
urer, and get an order from him.
We have to do these things by
system i'll a municipality, you
know"
Now, look a here, Sam Skin
ner," protested Abner; IL amt

"Of course you are" admitted
the City Clerk conciliatorily.
"I'm only explaining how you

machine.'
Somewhat Modified, Abner de-
parted 70 hunt up the City Treas
urer, but, unfortunately, there
was some delay i'll reaching him.
When he was found, however, the
business was quickly transacted
Ten dollars for a discarded
type writer in the store-room,"
repeated the City Treasurer.
"Why, sure. The city's so hard
up and there are 80 many out
standing bills and judgments that
I'm almost ready to turn the Of
flee into cash. Give the money
to the cashier and III write you
an order for the machine"
Armed with the order Abner
returned, only to find the City
Clerk absent. The machine was
there but it could not be touched
until the order had received the
30. K" of the City Clerk, and
that official had not appeared
when the lateness of the hour
necessltated a departure for the
farm.
"It's mighty annoying" COM
mented Abner to himself "but l
reckon l can git 1T the next time
| come to town. Knowed Sam
ever since his father had the next
farm to mine, fore he come to
town, an fits safe with him till
tomorry or the day after"
Abner's daughter, Lizzie, was
delighted when she heard of the
purchase. She was sure that the
road to literary fame was now
open to her, for she was in pos
session of several stories that she
knew had been returned because
they were not typewriter. In
fact, she was so enthusiastic that
she insisted upon accompanying
Abner when he went after the
machine, and she was very much
distressed because three days
passed before he felt that he had
leisure to make the trip. Finally
however, they invaded the City
Clerks Office together.
Remember LIZ, don't ye,
Sam?" asked Abner, by way of
preface. Used to play with her
when you was boy an lived out
near u.s."
The City CLERK threw away his
cigar and hastily rose from his
chnir, for Lizzie was an attract
i've young woman. He had not
sean her for several years, and
girls blossom into young women
very quickly.
Come for that there type
write machine" Abner went on,
"an' Liz is so crazy bout it she
had to come too"
Thereupon Abner handed the
order to the City Clerk, who took
1t mechanically and read it
through twice while he was get
ting his wits together; for the
City Clerk was in quandary.
"Why-why, the fact is, the
machine isn't here now," he ex-
planned at last.
"Ain't here /" CALCULATED Alb
ner. where in tarnation is it?

we can straighten the matter out
all right. But you didn't come
back for it, you know. and the
next day the Mayor sent down an
order for it, and a clerk in the
Water Office has it now"
But I've got an order for it,"
asserted Abner belhgerently.
"Quite right" acquiesced the
City Clerk "but this Isn't the
place to present the order now.
| can't give you what isn't in my
possession, You take the order
to Mr.. Wlnkler at the Water
Office and tell him you want the
machine"
"Come on, Liz" said Abner de-
terminedly. 81 bet We | get that
there machine or I'll bust things
wide open"
Lizzie, doubtful and disap-
pointed, dutIfully followed her
aggressive father to the Water
Office, where Mr.. Winkler SOL
emnly read the order through.
This doesn't interest me-" an
nounced the latter. "lt's ad-
dressed to the City Clerk"
"But the City Clerk hain't got
the machine," protested Abner
hotly.
Il can't help that" said MIR
Winkler. sin municipality
things have TO be done according
to system. The machine is here
by order of the Mayor. You'd
better see him."
"Well, by gum! Pm goin' to
have that machine J" proclaimed
Abner. Now you jest watch
me Come On, Liz"
The girls mouth twitched omI-
nously as she followed she was
not far from tears.
The Mayor gave the subject a
few minutes of thoughtful con.
sideration before replying to Alb
ner's demand.
Neither the City Treasurer
nor the City Clerk had any right
to sell that machine" he said at
last. mo one has any right to
sell city property for which the
city has any use, and this type
writer was sent to the store room
by mistake. It's serviceabla and
is needed in the Water Office"
But it's mine y broke in Alb
ner wrathfully.
mot at ALL" answered the
Moyor. "You simply show your
ignorance of civic methods of do
ing business. It's all an elabo-
rate system, you know"
"System be dingedw roared
Abner. Every tarnation critter
talks about system while he's
beating me out O. my typewriter
machine an my ten dollars. It's
a swindle; that's what your sys-
tenn is /"
"Be little careful, Mr.. Cal
kips," cautioned the Mayor with
dignity. "Neither the city nor
its officials are in the swindling
business, and you would not be
in this predicament if you were
not ignorant of the ordinary
routine"
"I'm learnin'," retorted Abner,
"an' I'm paying for the eddica-
ton"
"The best thing for you to do,'
continued the Mayor kindly, sis to
90 he to City Treas urer and let
your money back. While there
is use for the machine, l certain
ly can't let it 90 for ten dollars. ~
"Come on, Liz" said Abner,
his determination and energy in
no measure diminished. "Dang
the machine, anyway I'll git
the money"
"But, my dear Mr.. Calkins, l
haven't your ten dollars" said
the City Treasurer.
81 give it to that cashier O

tell him to give it back to me-"
He hasn't it now, either. 1t

mechanism Is perfected. through the
lessons OF experience and by the sub

young millionaire of this city, who
was injured in the long distance
automobile race recently, has been re-
moved from the hospital at Mineola,
Long island to hotel at Garden City.
His wife and parents are constantly

Not only is Arents' mind said to be

has made 1t impossible for him to
move about, although he Is able to
sit up In a chair for several hours
each day. Even then he demands
constant attention Of his nurses. A
blood clot on the brain is said to be
the cause of the trouble but the at

this will dissolve and with its disap-
