DUBLIN, Sept. 1.-THE desire that
possesses fugitives from justice TO re-

has been living in Florida until sew
eral months ago, when he returned TO
Laurens.
Ed Anderson is the name OF the
negro and he was arrested by Deputy

The Chance for Jessiea.

The Chance for JesSica.
When the assistant manager OF the
Mercury Company came through the
train, next morning, and saw the two
who were breakfasting together IN. the
dining-car, he stopped in the aisle with
an expression of one brought face to
face with the disagreeable unexpected

Start it with an H, if you like"
suggested Stanton, coolly amused.
Mr.. Green's mouth grew thin from
pressure.
IF you quarrel with Floyd, / shall
not know where out here can get
you another mechanician in time. he
gave stiff warning.
"All right" was the answer.
Floyd was engaged in blocking out a
map with toothpicks. and did not look
up; he appeared even more ridiculous
ly young and gay-spirited than usual,
in the morning sunlight. But some
thing In the poise of his bright head
echoed that "all right" Mr.. Green

"Then 1 won't need to burn a joss

fused to explain.
Their luck held good. They had
neither illness nor serious accident to
mar their series of victories and trials
For Stanton drove as If by inspira-
ton, and many of the lronors OF the
carnival remained with him.

LAS you like" she conceded, her
heavy lashes sweeping her cheeks.
The first step was made. For the
next two weeks they saw each other
frequently. Twice Stanton brought
one of the Mercury cars and took Jes-
sica for sedate afternoon drives. Sew
eral rainy days she gave him sweet
chocolate and sat opposite him before
the bright little hearth, listening or
talking with the equable sunniness so
like Floyd's. Indeed, Stanton soon
came to feel with her the sense OF
companionship and certainty of being
understood that he felt with her broth
er. But he never was rough to Jes'
sica.
During that interval he did not
meet Floyd. Jes was busy thirty miles
up the Hudson valley, at the Mercury
factory, Jessica said, and as Stanton
of course knew from his mechanician's
own statement. Only it impressed him
as rather strange that Floyd could not
get away even once OF twice to see
his sister.

and went out to the huge. silent group
of buildings that had been the Comet

1t gave Stanton a strange sensation
to watch Floyd's assured familiarity
with this place and atmosphere; to
see him so naturally draw from his,

them and unhesitatingly fit each to- its

was where he belonged-only there

The silence was long. After reading,
Floyd turned his face to the window,
and so remained. But at last he looked
back to Stanton and nodded.

Stanton contemplated the smiling girl,
in her pale-blue gown with its lace

was warm and very gentle.
