and kept soul and body together by
doing the work of a literary hack.
Sometimes he did little desultory
tasks for newspapers, but never sue

pay roll. Once he had been given a
commission to write little skit for
vaudeville stunt, and this was his I'M

undone. In working it up he had found
it necessary to familiarize himself with
the technique of playwriting and 1t
fascinated him. Then the stunt was
a decided success and the man VINO
wrote it not only realized more money
from it than he had from any other
literary effort in his life, but also saw
the possibilities of dramatic express

sense And so he came to be a slave
Of the playwright's itch. And ne
wrote and wrote and wrote and
starved and pinched and still wrote.
But his skits were not accepted and
his plays were returned by the mana
gers and their readers.
He became more seedy and more
gaunt and more mpossible-finally he
became unconsciously hopeless. But
he worked on because he was the
slave of Genius and was compelled to
follow the law of his being.

the handsome stranger faded away
into the realm of dreams and after a

For Love walked there beneath the smile

AND the high blue sky above the barley.

And eyes meet stealthilv as lad and maid

E. q. Gross, the mayor of Harris

unduly the salaries of many unimport

in the kitchen that is so.

always was the golden day in sight
when his genius would be recognized
and their dreams be realized.
One day the world was startled
with new and great play. 1t was a
drama which touched all the chords
of human nature and inspired laughter
and tears alike 1t lifted every auditor
to the heights of ideality and car
ried him to the depths of human woe.
There was no false note and all the
world paused to pay tribute to the per-
lection of the piece.
And up and down the land the
critics asked, "Who is it that has
done this thing?" and there was no
answer. For the play was produced
under a nom de plume, and the clever
est work of the newspapers failed to
disclose the real identity of the au-
thor.
After the play had been a success
for many months and had brought
great harvest of shekels to manager
and playwright, fire occurred in
great office building wherein the man
ager who produced the play had his
offices. A reporter hurrying to the
fire was enveloped in a cloud of smoke
and cinders and after catching his
breath found charred piece of paper
blown across his face. CHANGING at 1t
he saw that it was contract and
upon further investigation it proved
to be the veritable contract between

AS she beheld these revelations a
great awe and great love entered

she bowed down and worshiped with

appreciation and understanding, the
shackles dropped away from him and

With the advent of automobiles.
motor cycles, bicycles and various
other vehicles for rapid conveyance,
a faster rate of travel upon the public
streets has been ushered in. 1t is use
less to cry for the same speed laws
in force twenty years ago. People
must adapt themselves to progress
in travel as we'll as other things.
The bicycle causes little trouble
1t is so small that it can avoid a
vehicle easily, small space being
sufficient to pass in Again if a BIZ
cyclist collides with vehicle, the
bicycle being the lighter machine, its
rider suffers. However, the ANTONIO
bile presents different proposition
1t is SO heavy that any vehicle strik-
ing it suffers 1t is doubly dangerous
because there is death beneath its

than other vehicles that it is hard to
avoid and must be seen some dis
