Jackson gazed at him with careful
eyes; that his mouth was also careful
was entirely proven by the fact that
it said nothing. A careless mouth
might have remarked that his old
uncle was a pretty solid shadow. for
he weighed close upon two hundred
pounds. .

HAIR CAME OUT IN PUNCHES

Route No. 3, Box GOA, Broken Ar
row, Okla.-"My trouble began with
an itching of the scalp of my head.
My scalp at first became covered with
fakes of dandruff which caused me to
scratch and this caused a breaking
out here and there on the scalp. It
became so irritated until | could not
rest at night and my hair would come
out in punches and became short and
rough.
Everything I used would cause It
to grow worse and II continued that
way for about three or four years.
While reading the paper saw the
advertisement of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and sent for a sample. 1t
proved 80 good that ! decided to get
some more. / used them as directed
and in two weeks / saw q good ef-
feet. Now my hair Is longer and
looks better than ] have ever known
It to be. I give all the credit OF my

HAD KEEN EYE FOR BUSINESS
Theatrical Manager Was Not Going to
Let Any Money Get Away
From Him.

Soon after the theaters opened a
cowboy came up from the stock yards
and purchased a ticket for a matinee
performance. The cowboy was coat
less and when he presented his ticket
at the main door the officer there told
him that K was against the rules to
allow a coatless mar to sit In the
parquet- He was referred TO the box
Office. At the latter place he ex'
planned his predicament and said he
supposed he would have to cash his
ticket and go elsewhere. The mana
ger overheard the conversation and
began an inquiry.
Where is your coat?" asked the
manager.
Down to the stock yards" said
the cowboy.
The manager tweedlctummed for a
moment. The audience was very
small and he hated to e any money
refunded.

CHAPTER 1.

Back of the massed red-brick and
~~ulapboard buildings forming. in Jones
vile, Conn.,, the extensive group de-
voted to the manufacture Of Jones
Pepsin Gum. was the abandoned power
house, wherein were housed the water
wheels which once had furnished force
20 drive the factory's machinery. The
streams diminishing flow, the in
creased needs of the business, aud the
economy Of steam all had initiated to-
ward Industrial abandonment Of the
old building.
Small boys never fished there, for
the sluice-waters were too swift, loaf
~ers never idled there, for the watch
men of the mills were too strict In
their guardianship; but lovers some
times wandered there. of moonlight
nights; and In the afternoons, when
the academy sessions had ended.
Broadway" really named Jackson
Zones, but nicknahed broadway" be-
cause of his continual g~loriication OF
New York's great ~thoroughfare, which
he had seen upon occasion. sometimes
. went there Ito get away from Jones
willie" This afternoon he was to teach
two Jonesville girl friends new dance
steps which he had learned In New
York city. Later, dancing these with
! him at the Odd Fellows ball. they
would confound all other girls In
J%onesville.
The girls came promptly. CARA
Gpotswood was the daughter Of the To-
cal Judge, Josie Richards the daughter
of a recent manager Of the gum fac
tory. Her father was now laid up with
rheumatism, and Josie was in training
! for a ~bookkeeper's post in the great
enterprise which swallowed most of
Jonesville's youth Of either sex. as
900 as they left school.
Now this step, girls" Broadway
said in preface, was invented on
Broadway for use upon Broadway by
Broadway people. Don't mistake 1t for
q quiet nap. It's not a s~leep-dance. It
was not dreamed out In Jonesville."
And was everybody dancing itT'
asked Josie.
Every girl I saw" he answered. He
\ had been telling Of a ball he had at
tended in New York, but not quite all
be might have told about 1t. Every

mo; she was being carried to an
Ambulance. She had just sprained ar

"Oh, Jackson, you're too FUNNY"
Thanks for those kind words" He
watched them whirl together for 6
moment. NO; not quite that way
Clara Don't give a Broadway step 9
-J%onesville twist; you want to give 6
~J~onesville step a Broadway polish"
Breathless they stopped their ef
forts. "Oh, you and your Broadway
You're always talking about Broad
way!"

INJUNCTION STOPS
~" IMPROVEMENTS
Third Tracking of Second and
Third Av. Lines Held Up
Indefinitely.

An Injunction in favor of several
property holders on Second and Third
avs. was granted yesterday by Justice
Hendrick against the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company and the Man
haitian Railway Company, which will
hold up indefinitely the work Of third
tracking the elevated road on those
lines. The injunction will also restrain
the railway companies from carrying
out other proposed improvements on
property adjoining that of the petit
TONERS. -,
The property owners complained that
the improvements of the railways
would interfere with their properties
and affect their values.
Justice Hendrick made the restrain
ing order permanently effective only
after ninety days, by which time the
Interborough and Manhattan companies
may take steps to reimburse the prop
erty holders for the easement required
or bring condemnation proceedings.
Counsel for the railway companies
argued that il prevented from carrying
out the. improvements, the public would
be more damaged than the owners If
the changes were put into effect. He
said that the company had received the
consent of 40 per cent Of the owners
and had settled with them and that
only a few were still opposed. 1t was
also argued that the proceedings would
be long and that in the end the ex-
penses of litigation will exceed the
damages finally to be awarded. Justice
Hendrick said that he was inclined to
concur, but that the Appellate Division
had decided in similar premises that
the petitioner had q strict legal right
to an injunction.
