And presently the big machine
whizzed away, and the big clown was
left alone beneath the stars of the
spring night.
He sat down on his trunk in the
middle of the deserted ring and
planned how on the morrow he would
get his money out of the bank and
build house and begin a new life as
a substantial citizen.

he went to visit Miss Mayling with
the more or less peremptory request
that she bake him a fruit cake.
Going to have tea party. Bobby?'
she asked gayiy. But Bobby SHOOK
his head solemnly and declined to be
drawn into trivial conversation.
Il want it for some one-some one
who doesn't get nice cake" he con,
descended at last, examining Miss
Mayling shrewdly as he spoke.
'If you don't tell me who it is ]
won't bake it for you.' she teased, an.
ticipating the revelation OF some new
love affair. Bobby was as popular as
he was tickle. and Miss Mayling, hard
ened by experience with the young
love could have induced him to forego
the eating of her cake the day before.
"Have l got to?" he asked anxiously,
fearful that q premature explanation
might destroy the success of the alb
duction
Certainly" insisted Miss Mayling.
Bobby was dismayed. But the cake
must be secured at all hazards
Its for Mr.. Brant," he explained.
HE said if you baked him a fruit
cake he'd come with his pony and hit
all the chiefs on the head with a tom
myhawk and carry you off and make
you bake cake for him all the rest of

gas range. nd-and-anyhow. he says
he'll do it if you tempt him with fruit
cake"
Miss Mayling leaned over and kissed
the earnest little face.

bake two little cakes next week, Bob
by, so that you and your friend shall
each have one"
Bobby looked into the serene face,
into which there had crept something
he had never seen there before-a ten
der curve to the even lips, a new
light in the brown eyes that made
them glow and sparkle and film with
tears by turns
He had always thought Miss May
ling almost as pretty as his MOTHER
but now he was disloyal for a mo-
ment and thought she was more beau
tiful than anybody he had ever seen.
His moist little fingers clasped her
slim, cool hand. and he looked up into
her starry eyes.
II wish | was big enough to duct

Brant wouldn't get that cake"
Alice Mayling bent over and pinched
lis chubby cheeks.
Bobby, my dear, you remind me of

And then she looked up suddenly to
zee passing her window a tall, straight
Igure, with his glance firmly fixed
head.
"Of course he wouldn't be so or

oftly. But he's the sort who'll find

cry hard for him."
Bobby cudded closer to her soft,
ilken frock.

Activities in the real estate market.

due to the locating, probably, of the
American Locomotive company's plant

thought that the price of lots all over

1t has also been rumored about the
city that another large industry beside
the American Locomotive works is
contemplating locating east of Gary.

the deal has not progressed to any
extent.
One real estate man who a short
time ago bought heavy in the vicinity
of Miller, stated that he had a deal
on whereby he was about to sell his
property at double the amount that
he paid for it. and that he was not any
too anxious to dispose of it at that.

For Interurban.

The Kensington and Eastern Ordi-

the Chicago transportation committee
yesterday. 1t was not reported to the
council last evening, however, ON ac-
count of the early adjournment of that
body. The only change in the ordi-

In by Walter l.. Fisher providing that
no sale or transfer of the franchise

the council. This was done because of
the recent decision in the New York

AWAIT OPPORTUNE TIME
Newspaper Men of Gary De.
eide to Postpone Their
Entertainment.

At meeting of a number OF news
paper representatives, held last night
in The TINES Office at Gary, it was
decided almost unanimously to have the
benefit" for the Mercy hospital post
poned until at least the first of March
The reason ascribed is that the time
is not yet ripe. and that if the plan
was attempted it would be much more
successful at that time.
The newspaper men met last night
with Manager Bigelow of the Gary
band, and Rufus o. Suter, two of Gary's
prominent musicians. who advised them
as to the kind of an entertainment to
be provided. This has been practically
settled upon, and the newspapers OF
Gary will be prepared to give the
public something novel when the prop
er time comes.
The reason for postponing the af-
fair is that the present public projects
under way are sufficient to monopo-
lie all of the surplus cash for the pur-
pose, kept in reserve by the business
men. About March first, il is figured
that the session of the legislature will
be closed and that their financial status

The three thugs. Dennis Murray and
O'Keefe, for whom extradition papers
were secured some time ago, will be
brought back to Gary today where
they will be given their hearing on a
charge of grand larceny. The men are
accusd of several other crimes but the
Chicago police believe that it will be
much easier to convict the men on the
charge in Gary than in Chicago.
The three men were arrested in
Chicago charged among other things.
with having picked the pockets of the
Rev. Henry Nelson of South Bend
while he was on his way from that city
to Chicago, and just as the train
reached Gary. The minister furnished
a description of the three men to the
police of Gary, who in turn notified the
Chicago officers and the men were soon
picked up.
They were positively identified by
Rev. Nelson and he has determined to
prosecute them. The men will be given
their preliminary hearing today before
Judge Albert G. Huber and will be
bound over to the superior court
later The men are believed to be ex-
pert yeggmen and have had a long
criminal record.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 10. The
apparently harmless game of playing
Indian" nearly resulted in the loss of
an eye to little Charles McGranahan of
Pennsylvania avenue and his accident
will no doubt result in the overthrow
of the game at the Field school play
ground. The McGranahan lad, who is
but Z years old, yesterday had a large
splinter run into his eyelid while try
ing to escape the onslaught of an ener-
getic savage.
The lads at the Field school are con-
coded to be the most energetic in the
city and it is no infrequent occur
renee for one of the pupils to enter his
classrooms with his clothing torn and
despatched with mud. McGranahan
was being followed by play mate car
rying heavy stick yesterday noon.
Just as his pursuer reached his side
and struck at him with the piece of
wood the McGranahan boy, or wolf
as he styled himself, slipped and fell
heavily to the ground In falling a
splinter of the wood was carried deep
into his eyelid. barely escaping strik-
ing the more sensitive eye-balI. With
blood streaming over his face. the lit
tie fellow hurried to his teacher, who
hastily bound the wound and sent the
little fellow to the office of DR.. w. l.
Hughes, where the splinter was ex-
tracted. DIR. Hughes declares that
fortunately the eye-ball is still intact
although the splinter almost penetrated
the eyelid.

DECISION SAVES $500
Error in Making Out Indi-

Causes Litigation.
Especial to THE TrMrs.l

Indiana Harhor Ind, Jan ia de-
cision of Judge V S Reiter in the SUI
perior court at Hammond yesterday
saved the taxpayers residing on Par
IRISH avenue an aggregate amount OF
almost 5000. The court confirmed the
finding of the appraisers in the i'm
provement assessment roll on the street
in question and authorized deduction
of 1858.
The bone of contention was an un-
usual one. Several months ago the
city council ordered the Improvement
of Parrish avenue from Michigan ave-
nue. to One Hundred and Thirty-sev-
enth street by the construction Of a
cement sidewalk. The final resolution
ordering the improvement called for a
walk six feet wide, but in writing the
contract with the constructing engfn-
GERS an error was made and a sidewalk
twelve feet and six inches wide was
ordered. The walk was laid and the
assessment roll attacked
Messrs. Walter ]. Riley. Frank Cal
lahan and Otto Seehase were appoint-
ed appraisers and confirmed the sug-
gestion of Attorney W.B Van Horne
who represented the appellants. The
reduction of 1858 is nearly the full
amount asked for by the appellants and
represents almost 10 per cent of the
entire contract. Attorney J. D. Ken
nedy of East Chicago represented the
couneilmanic body in the defense Of the
action.

East Chicago, Ind, Jan. 10. - The
recent article, which appeared in THE
TIMES concerning the securing of a
Carnegie library for this city and In
diana Harbor, met with the approval
of all who noted 1t. There seems to
be one difficulty, however, regarding
any possible choice of site. The an
tagonism of the Harborites to East
Chicago would result in their demand
ing that the library be placed in that
section of the city, while East Chicago
ans would naturally wish it placed in
the First. Second or Third wards
Alderman Lewis has evolved a plan
which should meet with. the commenda-
ton of all. The Harbor wants a IL
brary. So does East Chicago. Let
them both have one, placing the Car
negie building in East Chicago" AS
the reading population of Indiana Har-
Dor could be satisfied with a much
smaller library than that needed in this
part of the city. a large room could
be fitted up with the best literature
and maintained in the new police sta
ton on Guthrie street.
The plans of the building, which
are rapidly nearing completion, show
large room on the second floor of the
building which might be fitted up as a
reading room, equipped with maya
zines and current literature. The propo-
sition will be considered at a meeting
of the councilmanic body in the very
near future. and an effort made to sup
ply the literary wants of the citizens
without the erection of two $4,000
buildings. Harborites, it is urged,
should lend their support to the project
and aid in the forcing of such forward
movements as that contemplated by the
active East Chicago aldermen.
