CHAPTER XXI.
On the Road to Jimenez,

On the Road to Jimenez.
Mike O'Connor arrived in the City
of Mexico at a little after II o'clock
the next morning. He spent more than
an hour around the station looking for
Jerry Chambers and trying to learn
If persons answering to the descrip-
tion of Andre, Felipe, Riaz, Marina
and the strange woman had been seen
to leave train. An official who had
been on duty for many hours told
him that he had not seen them, and
that if they had gotten off a train that
entered the station he probably would
have seen them.
Mikes disappointment and surprise
in not meeting Tommy Flannery"
brought him close to a decision to
abandon the chase and to strike out
Immediately for the "States." Al
though he could not understand why
the young man had departed so abrupt
ly from him in Vera Cruz, he felt
reasonably confident that Jerry had a
good excuse for his action, but he
could think of no reason why he had
not met him at the station.
Maybe he didn't get my message y
Mike said to himself after he had
asked the price of q ticket to
Ell Paso, "but I am sure I re-
membered the number he gave me
and that didn't make a mistake. -
The train he had in mind to take to
the border did not leave until five
o'clock in the afternoon, and, to satisfy
himself and, incidentally, to kill
time" he went to the ofice of Thomas
Wentworth.
"Have you seen q young fellow
named Tommy Flannery?" he asked
Of the old Gemini.
'Yes,"' answered Mr.. Wentworth; ;
he was here yesterday. and left late
IN the afternoon for the north"
Mower County transcript., 1908-11-18

looked around for Jerry, and, while he
would have given much to see him,
he was glad that he was not at the
station. Numerous delays added haA
a dozen hours to the running time, and
Jimenez was not reached until after
nightfall. Mike was on the front plat
form when the train came to stop at
the station, and, after giving the engi-
neer a bill, he got OF and hastened to
building so feet away, stationing
himself where he could see the full
length of the platform. He remained
there until the train pulled out, and,
to his great surprise, he had not seen
the five occupants of the last coach
get off. But as the last car swept past
him he saw a carriage moving away
from the other side of the track.
He ran to the end of the platform
and cast his eyes after the vehicle,
which soon was lost in the darkness.
Then, not knowing what course to
take, he approached policeman and
asked where the street led to.
ITO the mountains was the an
swer. 'The city's down the other
way"
WAS that a station conveyance that
just went away?" he asked, and the
officer eyed him closely.
1T doesn't ordinarily meet trains,"
was the answer "Why did you want
to know?"
II thought maybe an old friend O.
mine-Aurelio Zacate-was drivin'. l
have come all the way from the south
to see him, and the last I heard O him
he was drivin' a rig here"
Before Mike had thought of hiring a
cab and following the carriage the Of
ficer said something about it's being
one of the only two vehicles Of the
kind in the city. Knowing that he
could do nothing further that night,
he sat down on a box and engaged
the officer in conversation. The police
man was willing talker, for Mike had
bottle of extra fine whisky, which he
extended often to him.
They had cOnversed fully an hour,
when carriage came towards them.
''That's the carriage" said the po.
liceman. '1s that your friend driv-
ing?"
"Aurelio didn't wear a mustache
when I saw him last" said Mike, "and
he didn't appear so skinny. The car
riage couldn't have gone very far"
"No; perhaps not farther than the
river-the Florido. Perhaps the peo'
pie in the carriage took a small boat
down the river. Many folks spend the
Eot weather down there"

had the rest of his money exchanged
for Mexican currency. Then he went
into a hotel, where he picked out
quiet corner in the rotunda and tried
to settle down to rational thinking.

he said to himself, "and it's an eagle

believe it's in him to give up now.
Luck has been with me. and I don't
think it will desert me now. I'll take
chance with Mike!"
A few minutes later he was in the
writing room, where he penned the
following to Mike O'Connor:
'Your message came to me short time
ago, and you deserve a medal as big as
bass-drum. You would not have to
tell anybody that you were made of the
good old American stuff. Your standing
pat after dashed away from you SO un-
tremendously in Vera Cruz shows the
sort OF goods you are made of, and I
feel-I kn"v-that there is moro Of the
same spirit in you, and that you will
make good your promise-to stick to the
finish.
1T Is up to you again, old pal and
you must keep up the glorious work. l
cannot tell you anything now, but one
day you shall know all, and everything
| will be satisfactory to you. It will prove
! that I had not tried to shoulder every
thing on you. 1t is the best job you ever
tackled, Mike, and eventually it will pay
you thousand times more than the best
engineers job in the world.
Late this afternoon I must leave for
Escalon, in the southern part of Chi
huahua, and as soon as possible I want
you to wire me there, in care of the

Minister'S Association, Long
Inactive, Resumes It's
Sessions.

The Hammond Ministers association,
which for the past year or two has dis
continued its session. has revived and
of late there has been a number of
meetings held. Another will take place
tomorrow afternoon in the Superior
courthouse.
The association reorganized last
month, having been called together
previously for the purpose of talking
things over and arranging for the as
sumption of its former functions.
Rev. c. ]. Sharp of the Christian
church was elected president and Rev.
]. E. Shook, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church was named as secre-
tary. The meeting days have been set
for the first and third Tuesdays in
each month. 1t is the expectation of
the members that as soon as things
get into smooth running order, there
will be an address given or a paper
read on some subject of interest among
the ministers, at every meeting. Up to
one of these addresses, Rev. f. NJ Ell
lott having given a talk on "Reli-
gious Conditions in the Calumet Re-

HAVE HILL CLIMBERS
A YELLOW STREAK?
Van Sickle Accuses Contest
ants in Danville Race of
Being Wrong"
DENIES He WAS DISQUALIFIED
Says His Motorcycle Won All Three
Events, Despite Other
Claims.

In an article on the sporting page of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean yesterday, the
statement was made that although
Charles vanSickle on an Indian, made
the fastest time at the recent hill
climbing contest at Danville, he was
disqualified on account of a false en-
try which showed that his machine was
not of stock cons truction.
The article goes on to state THE
fastest time was made by the Indian,
which was ridden by Charles Van
Sickle, and he used a cylinder and two
cylinder in the event It was found up
on investigation by the committee, com
prising Herbert Miller, J. H. Byerly,
and other members. that a false entry
had been made. and both records were
denied and he was disqualified. 1t was
said that the engines were not the
regular stock Indian construction"
Van Sickle was called up on the
telephone this morning, asked about
his alleged disqualification and had the
following to say:
The men named in the Inter Ocean
story are the representatives of other
motorcycle companies which are jeal-
GUS of the success of the Indian. The
facts are that they made protest, but
cision of the judges was that the In
dian won all three events"
Advertisers "CrOOEed."
'T saw an advertisement in one of
the Chicago papers this morning in
which the sExcelcior machine took the
credit of winning the race. That shows
how crooked the advertisers of that
machine are. They contested my race
and then before the result of the con-
test was made. they announced In their
advertisements that the Excelsior had
won"
THE facts are that 1 ride an Indian
because I believe it is the best machine
on the market. but 1 want to say that
it is nerve that wins in those races
and those fellows had a yellow streak
in that Danville race
vanSickle said the owners of the
other machines were iealius of him
and that was the reason they tried
to beat him out of the race. "They
are not in the races for the sport
they get out of it," said Van Sickle
they are simply trying TO advertise
their machines

A serious accident befell a well
known Hammond lady yesterday on the
Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago
Electric street railway near the cross
ing of the Wabash railroad.
Miss Clara Puntney. whose address
is Sibley street, was returning from
visit with Chicago friends in COM
pany with Barbara Szura, $40 Shef1ild

Miss Szura home, the ladies started
to get off on Holman street where the
street car line crosses the Wabash
