QUEENS BOROUGH TIN HORSES
OF Beer Were Put on the
City's Pay Roll.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)

Whats all this talk I hear about
tin horses In Queens BOROUGH"
I'm surprised at your ignorance.

designate equines which never exist

report to the powers that be that he
had a team. and they would be hired,
at so much day, for city work"
did all Of the grafters have to
have mares?"
20, no: one of the gang had his
wife's two clothes horses, drawing full
pay
He was a genius"
Yes, another man had a hobby
about not wanting to work. his son
had hobby horse, and SO he doubled
them up and sent in bills for team.

That's interesting
Yes, rather. There was a rumor
going around the other day that q
man who owned pair of ponies Of
beer also figured in the game"
Il suppose ii one Of the gangs wife
and daughters owned pony skin csats
they could have got on the pay roll
too"
Sure thing: it was pony skin

And all that these fake horses evef

two! How many I'd you expect TO
drop, on a snapshot like that?'
Two" returned Amber SO patiently
that Quain requested him, explosively,
to 40 to the devil. IF you don't mind,
he said, I'll go after my ducks IN
stead. You'll follow? They're over
there, on our way
Fifty yards or SO away he found the
ducks, side by side in little hollow.
Fine fat birds" he adjudged them
sagely.
Satisfaction glimmering in his
grave dark eyes, he fingered in the
hollow, while the frosty air, whipping
madly through the sand hills, stung
his face till it glowed beneath the
brown. But presently, like the ghost
of a forgotten kiss, something moist
and chill touched gently his cheek,
and was gone. Startled, he glanced
skyward then extended an arm,
watching it curiously while the rough
fabric of his sleeve was sailed gem
erously with fine white flakes. Though
to some extent apprehended (they had
been blind indeed to have ignored the
menace of the dour day just then
dying) snow had figured in their cal
culations as little as the scarcity of
game. Amber wondered dimly il 1t
would work a change in their plans,
prove an obstacle to their safe re-
turn across the bay.
The furry thickening in the air, .
shade Of anxiety colored his mood.
aThis'll never dol" he declared, and
set himself to ascend nearby dune.
Behind him meager strip Of sand
held back grim and angry sea; be-
fore him lay an eighth OF mile OF
sand-locked desoiation, and then the
weltering bay--a wide two miles Of
leaping, shouting waves. slate-colored

MENTAL ACCURACY

q distressing sense Of fullness in the

painful and disquieting palpitation OF

IT finally concluded that something
would have to be done. quit the use
of coffee, short of, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make 1t

enough, and did not find it palatable

"Then my wife took the matter In

But Amber could see nothing In the

SO with decision.

quietly.

anyway--an excursion steamer? You
stay where you are and--I say-take

He thrust the butt of his shotgun
into Amber's face, and the latter,
Selling it, was rewarded by vigor-
Gus push that sent him back half a
dozen feet. At the same time the
painter slipped from his grasp and
Quain, lodging an end of the ellpot

could recover, the boat had slid of

After a bit Quain's voice came
back: Don't fret Davy. I'm all right"
Amber cupped hands to mouth and
sent a cheerful hail ringing in re-
spouse. simultaneously the last,
least, indefinite blur that stood for the
boat in the darkness, vanished in a
swirl of snow; and he was alone with
the storm and his misgigings.
Twenty minutes wore YEARLY away.
Falling ever more densely, the snow
drew an impenetrable wan curtain be-

they evoked no answer of any sort,
hope for Quain died hard in Amber's
heart. Resolutely he turned to con-
sideration of his own plight and
prOblematic way of escape.
HIS understanding of his situation
was painfully accurate; he was ma
rooned upon what flood tide made

was a peninsula-a long and narrow
strip of sand, bounded on the west by
the broad shallow channel to the
ocean, on the east connected with the
mainland by sandbar which half the

The Passing Of the Wife.


We have known for some time that
the wife would have to go. We have
held Off as long as possible the In

The wife was very desirable ar

the hose and did the homework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
