 ''I am enthusiastic over the bus line {" said MT. Beatty, and believe it will be an unqualified success. In other cities it is being operated with success In London hear that in F months just past the traffic on these busses has increased about 60 per cent.
 In London they are operated on regu- lar schedules and statistics show that they are operated on an efficiency scale of 99 per cent perfect. Each car is given so many miles to travel per day on it's regular schedule and these cars averaged 99 per cent and over.
 "As they will run on paved streets there will not be- as much dust; when they stop the will let passengers out at the curbstone; there is practically nc chance of accident; when something goes wrong only one bus will stop, while when something goes wrong on a street car line the whole line is stopped I am sure the busses will find much favor in the eyes of the publc'' The busses will begin their regular schedule today

"The" Jessup in New York City, which
was characteristic of "The" Jessup,
Bunch of kilograms from you here on
my arrival. What's ailing your Meet
me in Cincinnati tomorrow night"
The critical stage had arrived. II was
now up to him to get the remaining
money from the Clifton Bank. He
took the train to Clifton and called at
the bank. There was still about six
teen thousand dollars due him there,
but he felt that it was not policy to
ask for all of it.
81 have just received a wire from
The Jessup," he said to George
White, "instructing me to meet him in
Cincinnati tomorrow night, and to
bring fifteen thousand dollars in cur
rency with me-"
The attempted smile on the old mans
face as he received this news was
rather pitiful. He rubbed his hands to-
gether nervously and said, isn't that
rather a large amount of money for
you to carry, Dave? may not be able
to give it to you all in large bills"
mo" said Dave, "if you will arrange
to give il to me before eight o'clock in
the morning, will take the early train
to Lexington, and get il changed into
large bills, and then go to Cincinnati

very well, will have it ready for
you, Dave"
Dave spent that night at Clifton, and
that evening his wife called him up
and told him that there was wire for
him at the house from "The" Jessup,
stating that he could not reach Gin
cinnati until the following evening.
Dave, however determined to carry out
his original program. In the morning
he got his money from the bank and
took the afternoon train to Cincin-
natl, where he spent the following day,
having registered at the hotel where
THE" Jessup always stopped. That
evening he met "The" Jessup in the
lobby, and there were evident signs of
great excitement on "The's" usually
very placid countenance. In his hand
he held local afternoon paper, and he
greeted Dave with the statement, 81
am glad to see you, old fellow, and !

Dave.
