Of Baldwin county, Alabama, and au-
thorized to go into that county after
AlonZo Hicks, a negro, wanted here on
the charge of stealing a cow, Sheriff

and succeeded in locating and cap

not only took short cut, but that he
also used a horse and buggy In out

The negro acknowledges that
Sheriff Van Pelt outran him and says
that the sheriff was running so fast

but Hicks saw them coming, it seems,

The reason Sheriff Van Pelt took
Bowman with him was because he had
the reputation of being the fastest
runner in the sheriff's office. but when
the race between Alonzo and the
deputy began the odds on the smoke
rose rapidly and 1t was soon evident
that Bowman had been entered in the
wrong class. according to the sheriff

was late in realizing his whereabouts
When he raised his head, he found
that he had crowded into seat with
an uncomfortable looking woman, who
crowded against the window with old
maidenly timidity.
He felt some apology to be neces-

things, these weddings" After he
heard this, it did not sound entirely
felicitous, SO he grudgingly ventured:
Excuse me-you married?"
She denied the soft Impeachment
so heartily that he softened little:
You're sensible woman. I guess
you and I are the only sensible peo-
pie on this train"
"It-seems-so," she giggled. II
was the first time her spinstership
had been taken as material for a com.
pliment. Something in the girlish
giggle and the strangely young smile
that swept twenty years from her
face and belied the silver lines in
her hair, seemed to catch the old
bachelors attention. He stared at her
so fiercely that she looked about for
a way to escape. Then a curiously

ened his leonine jowls into a boyish

for about ten trips each way during the
rush hours morning and evening, these
cars running from the terminus at Fiji
