He promised his Father not tx
play Poker any more and vowed
to his Mother that she was E
better Chef than the one up al
DePs.
But his sub-conscious Self was
so considerate Of Elphye that he
never brought in her Name al
all, at all.
Sometimes he would get back
to the Ticker, but he was ready
to leave it any time to go fish
ing in the Crick with the Rats
from the other side of the
Tracks.
Through the final Crisis he
played tag with the Grim Reap

The Sun was slanting into the
little white Room when he
crawled feebly back to Earth
and tried to get his Bearings.
Annie was looking right at
him, relieved and smiling, and
happy. She had won her first
game in the Big League.
He noticed that she was not
slashed up the side or down the
back, had no metallic Insteps,
carried her own Hair, and was
in no way concealed behind the
usual pallid Veneering.
He remembered dirnly that

Dances named for the innocent

Being a close student of the
Bill Boards, she was in touch
with Current Happenings.
Her Eye-Work was perfect,

ME and Immediately she was
shown up and went back to the
Minors.
Her Second Reader Conversa-
ton, complicated with the pho
ney Boston sound of "A' as in
Squash" did not improve her
General Average.
Bob suddenly realized that in
getting rid of the Brones and
! the Nicotine and various other
Toxins, he also had lost his ap-
petite for Elphye.
But he was Game and willing
to go through on his own Propo-
sition.
He sent Nurse for glass of
Water and then begged his FL
ance to smuggle in Newspaper
so he could find out the name Of
his getting-off Station.
Next day she brought him
Market Page in her wonderful
jewel-crusted Bag.
Bob took one Look and crawl
ed under the Covers.
The Market had gone Blooey.
Bucket Preferred was down to
the Subway, bleeding from a
dozen Wounds.
The Whole List was on the
Blinkety Fritz.
Courage, Dearie," said Bob,
taking Elphye by the Rings.
'Your little Playmate is erased
from the map"
Elphye upset two Rolling
Chairs and one Inferno getting
from the Convalescent Depart
ment to the Open Air.
Annie found the poor Bank
rupt much improved as to Pulse
and Temperature.
He told her the whole Story
of how his Lady Fair had can
ned him because he was no long
er a Live One.
She held his hand and pushed
back his Locks and told him
that any Girl with Heart would
stick closer than ever to her
Selection when he was under the
Rollers.
Just then a Messenger from
McCusick came in and showed
Bob that by going Short and
standing pat he was $1,800,000
to the Desirable.
After that, Bob was known
up and down the Street as The
Wizard.
Annabelle, remembering how
they had got to her Father,
made him cut out the Margins
and put the whole Chunk into
listed Securities and Real Es-
tate.
He wanted to stick around
and parlee up to a Billion, but she
raised most emphatic Nixey.
He was so used to taking or
ders from her as a Trained
Nurse that he cut out speculat-
ing and played Safe.
The whole game was punk for
months after, so every one said
he had been a Wise Mug for
backing away.

If there had been no Blow
Out, he would have been back in
time for the usual roundup of
the Irrigation Committee and
never would have been a Great
F'inancier.
Marooned among the Hay
Fields, he stopped at a Farm
House and took a long chance on
some Well-Water, dipped in a
Gourd from the Moss-Covered
Bucket.
Scotch Whiskey is never con-
taminated by Surface Drains,
but each sparkling Drop of the
Fluid that Bob quaffed, there
beneath the Willows, contained
more than 100000 of the
Germs made notorious by DR..
Woods Hutchinson.
A few days later a swarm of
Bees settled in each ear. Every
Sky-Scraper gave an imitation
of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
He knew he was out of Kelter
but he had to watch the Board,
for he had put every Bean in the
World on an acrobatic Industrial
known as Tin Bucket Preferred.
Already the Paper Profits
were enormous. Bob figured
confidently on another Whoop
of SO points and a double string
Of Pearls for Elphye.
But when the poor Loon had
a Temperature of 5 above Par
and had to cling to the Brass
Rail to keep from taking the
Count, he lost his Nerve en-
tirely.
He couldn't see anything on
the Horizon except Tariff Revi-
sion, Hard Times, Weeping Wo-
men, Starving Riddles, Closed
Factories, Soup Kitchens and
Bread Lines.
While in this dotty State and
quite irresponsible, he directed
the Manager to close out the
whole Smear and sell short.
Furthermore, he was so daffy
and curdled in the Filbert that
he sold three times as much as
he had.
Then he did a couple of Spins
and a Flop, and the White Am
bulance bore him away to the
big Hospital.
If Mr.. Hornung Jackson of
Round Grove, Maryland, had not
entered upon his Second Child
hood at the age of 55, his Fam
lily would have remained on Easy
Street.
Mr.. Jackson thought he could
sit in his Front Room and read
the burglarious Meditations of
the High-Binders in Wall Street.
Consequently, when the Tin
Box was searched, the Day after
the Masons had marched out to
the Cemetery, it contained a lit
tie of everything except Assets. |
Annie was the name of the
Daughter.
On the Cleanup she received
enough to put her through the
School.
When Bob arrived at the Hos
pital, in a State of Conflagra-
tion, Annie was waiting in the
starched Uniform to tackle her
first real Case.
For days and nights he ram

Governor demised.
Robert, such being the polite
Monicker of the sole Heir, found
that he could not spread his
Pinions in the narrow Streets
of the lichen-covered Hamlet.
So he blew. He went to find
an Avenue that would accommo-
date seven Zeppelin Air-Ships
moving abreast at one time.
He closed out the Dry Goods
Emporium with the Shirt
Waists and the shameless Hos
iery in the Windows.
An Apartment Building, with
Packages delivered at the rear,
soon began to flaunt itself on
the site of the old Manse.
With all the currency cor
rallied by the late Store-Keeper
padded into his Norfolk Jacket,
the gallus Offspring hurried to
the Metrop to pick the prim-
roses.
In short time he was out at
the track every day, barking at
the Goats as they hove into the
Stretch.
The pencil-borrowing Touts
and the Wine-Pushers began to
call him Bob, which proved that
he was a Man about Town.
When the final Kiflukus was
put on the Ponies, he assembled
the residue of his Bundle and be-

RICE TRoUBLE FEARED

- St. Louis, July "A general strike
of all white union walters and a race
war is likely in this city.
Thirty white walters at the fash
ionable Washington Hotel were lock-
ed out last night when they refused
to wait on strikebreaking telephone
girls housed at the hotel by the teIe-
phone trust.
Walkouts and race riots followed
soon after, when the management of
the hotel employed negro walters in
place of the thirty white men locked
out.
The Hotel and Restaurant Keepers
Association then decided that it was
strong enough to break and humble
the white walters of the city, and
issued an announcement that negro
walters would be employed in every
restaurant in the city if the trouble
were not Immediately settled.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-02

The walters refused to work along
side negroes, and the bosses associa-
ton then sent to Hot Springs, Little
Rock, Ark, and Chicago for 500 ne
gro walters.
Race trouble is deemed certain to-
day.
The striking telephone girls today
appealed to the Missouri Senate We'll
fare Commission to investigate the
difference between the wages form
erly paid them and the wages paid the
present strikebreakers.
State Senator w. V. Cassidy, Sec
rotary of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, is backing the demands of the
girls.

lie La SITUATION IN cINcY

Cincinnati, July 2.-The Ice Man
ufacturers' Association, at a secret
meeting last night, decided to defy
the people and not to arbitrate with
their striking employees, as they had
agreed to do earlier in the evening.
The Academy of Medicine today
passed a resolution calling upon the
city to coniscate the ice plants and
take over the distribution of ice. The
Academy pointed out that the death
rate of children has increased 100 per
cent since the strike began.

OREGON WELFARE COMMISSION
ESTABLISHES MINIMUM WAGE
Portland, Ore.r July 1.-THE first
decision of the Oregon Welfare
Commission was made in the
settlement of a strike Of the girl en-
ployes of a fruit cannery near here.
The decision was that hereafter a
minimum wage of one dollar a day,
with as much more as could be
earned by piece work, should be paid
all women workers in the cannery.
The girls of the cannery struck
last Friday, demanding better wages.
They returned to work Immediately
the decision of the commission was
announced.
While the decision is not entirely
satisfactory to the working people,
since it fixes a minimum wage for
women far below a living wage, labor
nevertheless is hopeful, because Of
the great improvement which will be
wrought by the commissions mini
mum.
Formerly women employees of the
cannery were paid as little as $3.50
and SO a week, and immortality for
profit, that they might eat, was
spreading among them.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 2.-Repre-

of Kansas City and their worKmen
today met with Mayor JOst is an eff
fort to settle their differences.
A settlement is little likely to be
reached so long as the employers re-
main in their present frame of mind.
The employing builders locked out
their men to back up the Chicago
builders and said they were doing it
because the men were quaTreling
among themselves.
Soon afterward they saw victory
in sight and Immediately declared
that in the future they would enforce
the open shop. The Industrial Coun-
Gil at once called a general strike.
