GRIP BENCHES RANDOLPH
IN SLOT MACHINE GAME
Justice Willing To Participate
But Can't-Shepherd Leads
CASTOR, % To 2l.

While Sheriff CASTOR and Prose-
cutor Shepherd are sending out regu-
lar bulletins from their separate
counting rooms where their seized
slot machines are stored, the shadow
of Justice Edwin S. Randolph, or
Highland Park, keeps intruding on
the festivities.
II seems to be the concensus OF
opinion that Justice Randolph ought
to play some leading part in the
CLASSY little skit now being pre-
sented on the Wayne county stage,
with the sheriff and the prosecutor
as principals, and numerous slot ma
chimes as the props. Sometimes
Randolph is thrust in as the hero.
but he Just as. apt TO come stalking
in as the villain.
His present role seems to have
been decided upon as the heroine,
banished from home by the "crooT
slot machine question. But, un-
fortunately, the justice was not
given a chance to scan his role be-
fore the performance. The fact that
he has been confined to his home for
seven days with a bad attack of
grip, was never taken into consider
alton. He answered the telephone.
Saturday morning, and said that he
had not gone away, did not plan on
going away, and, willing as he mi ght
be to be mixed up in the slot ma
chine war. he really couldn't do It
because the grip wouldn't let him.
He is under the care of DR.. Morgan
Parker.
Meanwhile Sheriff CASTOR bobs up
out of the smoke. and announces
that while the shooting has been
going on. he has been busy, himself
I've got 2l slot machines in the
Jail How many's Shepherd got?" he
asks.
Whereupon hurried count is
taken in the prosecutors Office. and
the answer comes back, "I've got 2S
machines, and / don't believe that
CASTOR has 21 and If he has, he's
had three and one-half years to get
them, while I've got all mine in three
weeks.
"What?" demands CASTOR, "He
has 2S? Bettcha they amt regular
slot machines with nickels in EN-.
One of mines got $3S in nickels in

CHAPTER III.-CoNTINuED
1BE GIRL IN THE cHA1u,

For a moment Loveland was more
conceited than he had ever been in his
life, which is saying not a little. He
told himself that the girl must have
found out who he was and that this
was her artful way of scraping ac-
quaintance. She had taken possession

property and expecting the conversa.
ton which would be sure to follow.
He was conscious of a shock Of dis
appointment. In spite Of the witch

girl. and. like other spoiled young
men, a conquest which fell to him east
~ was less worth making. Neverthe-
less he still wanted to know her.
The chair next to his was unoccu-
pied, though usurpers were warned off
by the name Of MIR. James r.
Smythe' boldly painted in black let
tiers across the back. Stretching away
to the left was a row Of Smythe chairs
which Val did not trouble to count.
He merely received the impression Of
q large family Of impending Smythes
and was glad that they were not as
sembled. Risking the avalanche Of
Smythehood which might overwhelm
him at any instant. he sat down in
the empty chair next to his own, x

and futter the coquettish lashes.- To
his bewilderment her tactics were more
subtle. She did not look up at all. but
calmly went or reading her book, a
volume of disagreeably intellectual
suggestion.

interesting because surprising, but Val

At last he decided to be bold and
wait no longer.
what I'M l to do il Mr.. James r.
Smythe comes along and orders me
out?" he asked pleasantly in a low yet
conversational tone.
The girl glanced up for the first
time, suddenly and as if startled. She
had the air of having been deeply alb
sorbed In her book and of not being
sure that her neighbor had spoken to
her; also she looked extremely young
and innocent.
II said what am I to do if MI.

This was straightforward, to say the
least, yet her voice was SO sweet and
girlish, with such a dainty little drawl
in it, that the rebuke did not sound as
severe as II spoken with sharper ac-
cents.
"Of u l don't e to be rude

himself, at a loss for the next move
In the game. but l thought--that is,
I mean-you know, that is my chair,

Effect Of Overeatinq.

The average d%yspeptic does not give
more than half an hour to his three
meals. since all dyspeptics eat too
fast. Therefore thousands of people
are willing to suffer twenty-three and
a half hours every day in order that
they may do rs they please for half an
hour. And that's the way it goes in
nearly everything else: that's the rea-

the two was her aunt's, which this
gentleman's-Mr. Loveland's:
"Or ought to speak of you as Cap,
tain Loveland" she broke off to ask.
I'm lot Il captain yet" answered
Val. He did not explain that neither
was he mir" He left her to discover
that fact for herself by and by.
When the chair of Mrs. Loveland
had been indicated, as it soon was by
a tactless deck steward, the girl was
obstinate in her determination to seek
it. Val went with her. carrying the
rug and the book. but as there was no
vacant place on either side of the
new chair he was obliged presently to
go: back to his own And it was on the

ing in Il low tone that his words might
not be heard by any curious ears. Then
he hurried on, II am Major Cadwalla-
der Hunter''-
"Never heard the name in my life"
said Loveland rudely. He thought that
| his unlimited companion looked like a
bore, and he had never yet suffered a
bore gladly. A fash of reflection told
him that he possessed nc envelope in
Jim's or Betty's handwriting addressed
to Major Cadwallader Hunter. The
fellow would hardly be so mildly in
gratiating if he were u millionaire with
daughters to guard. and Val resented a
trumpet up claim Of connection.
Cadwallader Hunter could swallow
a snub with a smile, but never would
he forgive the snubber.
He smiled now, but if Lord Loveland

Loveland did not trouble himself to
reply. If Jim had thought this alleged
relative an interesting or profitable
person for him to know, the name of
Major Cadwallader Hunter would
probably have been on mi of the in
PRODUCTION envelopes.
Undismayed by the chilling silence,
Cadwallader Hunter still walked by
Lord Loveland's side and prattled. His
next sentence limited that he possessed
in some degree the quality of clair.
