AS Fallon peered from the alley for
The tenth time, he drew back with a
jerk to make quick, professional prep
arations for the reception OF the vic
tim coming hastily down the dim, de-
serted street.
STEADY, now, Ratty," he whispered
to his excited pulses, for the ap-
preaching footsteps rang on the walk
with the firm tread Of vigorous man.
You're workin alone. We know, an
not feelin none too smart-but, here
goes fer yer sick kid"
His teeth ground savagely as he
griDped his short, loaded cuban in
geni0us weapon OF lead and leather
with wrist loop.
Again Fallon squeezed a wary
squint around the cold bricks, his face
pressed close. his cap rubbing the
wall.
A glance satisfied him.

which brought him within nicely cal
culated distance Of the bent head.
But his prey improved that second
of astonishment in most unexpected.
and, to Ratty Fallon, disconcerting
manner.
His whole left side seemed to shrink
away with lightning twist, his head
moved a few inches with the turn,
and the weapon Of Ratty grazed harm
lessly down a coat sleeve.
The sleeve came up and out as the
assaulted one wheeled back. 1t was
too sudden for Ratty. that smashing
left fist Between his narrowed eyes
it slammed. and as the thief stagger-
ed. heel tripped him.
Fallon lay upon his Dack making
feeble struggles. He knew exactly
what he was about. The man on top
was choking him fiercely, but not pro-
fessionally. With tense neck mus
cles, the gasps and gurgles OF Ratty
were fiction. He was breathing very
nicely between them, and the faint
of his trained hands be-
meath the others coat were not for a
clutch which should free him.
He dug suddenly at his enemys

Ratty heard these remarks with a

"HE LIKES HIS JOB"
(From Philadelphia Press. }

(From Philadelphia Press.) -
Mr.. Booker Washington relates
that when recently he asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt whether he would &C
cept another nomination, the Presi-
dent did not reply directly, but re-
marked that "he liked his job
The remark Is not unfamiliar. 9th
ers have heard 1t. Mr.. Washington's
credibility will not be impeached, for
there are corrobQrating witnesses.
President Roosevelt, with frank and
almost boy4sh. naivete, does not hes
itate to say that he likes his job He
makes no affectation OF reserve or
distrust or saeYifice. Most men In
his place would put on an air OF
doubt and coyness whether they real
ly felt 1t or not. But President
Roosevelt makes no pretense Of un-
certainty. He likes his job and, with
refreshing candor which Is entirely
characteristic, he plainly says 80.
All this has nothing to do with
the question of third term. II
Mr.. Washington's statement implied
any doubt on that point, then he
has repeatedly coupled his expression
Of happiness in his job with the dSc-
laration that he would not, be q can
dtdate to succeed himself. He Is
just as sincere in the one case as in
the other. His joyous delight in the
glories Of the Presidency may be
freely treated without any n1isgiv-
ings that It involves any lurking
thought Of disregarding his ayowed
principle on the third term. ".-
| And why shouldn't he like his
| job? He has the qualifications, the
temperament, the genius for it. He
enjoys its distinction, he revels In
Its opportunities, he laughs at his la
| bors, he sheds it's annoyances, and to
! him IN all it's phases 1t is one grand
sweet song. 1t imposes constant, as
siduous, unceasing work, but he has
| physical ROBUSTNESS for 1t. 1t re-
quires him to shake million hands,
! but he has the muscle for 1t. 1t com
! pcls him to .- make ten thousand
! speeches, but he loves 1t and Ia q
! perennial spring. 1t entails strug-
| giles and contentious, but he enjoys
d. combat. Ihelabors and perpiexi
! ties of the office have burdened all
other Presidents and have killed sew
; eral, but he makes as light Of them
as he does Of leaplnB fences and
hunting bears. The field OF empire
attracts him no less than the do
main Of politics. His fertility and
resources ana versatility are mex
fausNble. He enforces peace be-
tween. warning nations, brings the
! great trusts and corporations to
/ book, makes the Harrimans and
Rockefellers quake, regulates the
world of football, checks race sui
eide, promotes domestic peace. and
{ foreign amity, and stands as the
shining example for all mankind.
