SAYS GET BACK TO YOUTH
Advice of Physical Director to Tired
Business Men About to Take Va
cation Worth Needing.

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read
dime novels, smoke cornsilk cigarettes
and act like "kids" again, by DR.. Louis
R. Welsmiller, physical director OF the
West Side Y. M. G. A. of New York,
His prescription for the rejuvenation
Of business-worn members of the as
sociation has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness, and be kid again
a wholesome, fun-loving, boisterous,
dime-novel-reading kid-during your
vacation. Many of you men, when
youngsters, used to think it great fun
to sneak out behind the barn, with a
cigarette made of cornsilk and brown
wrapping paper 1t won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger of contract
ing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading, but take the BIZ
BILE along, of course. Many great men
read Nick Carter, Jesse James and
like writings for relaxation. Most OF
you men have come to New York and
have made good. Help yourselves to
make good again next winter by be-
ing boy again on Your vacation.

ly the gyroscope could be halted and
Haynes escaped with nothing worse
than a few bruises.
They barred the roads and railway
lines, they herded him, forewarned
by all the subtle agencies in the pos
session of a government Into a bar
rem, rocky region among the Cumber-
lands. All round the hills, at every
mountain pass, armed guards were
stationed. He had a territory of
twelve square miles in which to rove,
but he could not cross those boun-
daries that daily drew closer round
him. At first he laughed at the fu-
tility of this pursuit How could they
stop him, when, at rate of speed
incredibly swifter than that of the
fastest train, he could dash through
them on the roads?
Then, all at once, he understood the
governments design. He needed
gasoline to replenish his engine.
Cleared though the gyroscope was to
run on a minute consumption, still,
the motor needed fuel. And there

no automobile came there; it was a
land of barren pines and inhospitable
mountains and valleys in which a few
poor mountaineers eked out a
wretched existence on their little hill
side farms.
the most wretched Of these cabins
Under his coat he had strapped his
gyroscope. He impersonated a tramp
and he was little more. He asked
for food and shelter.
With the hospitable instincts of
their kind, they set before him corn
meal and milk. When he had eaten,
the mother and her, two daughters
offered him the shelter of the almost
| roofiess barn in which they stocked
the scant cuttings from their fields
Worn out from WEAKNESS, Haynes
crept into the hay.
He dared not sleep, however, for
he knew that the Gordon round him
daily grew closer. Five miles away,
at Hendricksville, the government
men were posted. Perhaps they
might capture him unawares, and,
though he had pistol, his stock Of
cartridges had long since gone. He
crept out of the hay and skunk up
to the house. Inside the kitchen the
woman spelled out the large print on
placard, while the girls leaned over
her shoulder, listening eagerly
Haynes, crouching near. peered
through the open window near which
the woman sat and saw his photo
graph and several black, heavy lines
of type.
He was wanted for murder and
there was reward of two thousand
dollars posted in all the mountain
villages. The government had not
told of the gyroscope on this placard;
they had confined their statements
to the fewest words possible:
WANTED, JOHN HAYNES, FOR
MURDER" read the text under the
photograph. Then followed his per-
sonal description. He had read the
poster long before the mother had
spelled it out, word by word to the
listening girls. Then he crept into
the shadows of the barn and waited,
in his hand rusty scythe which he
had picked up from some spot In
which it had been thrown, discarded
Ten minutes later the elder girl
came tripping out. She was about
eighteen, pretty, simple-looking Her

moments watching, the girl with

house. however, but toward the
wagon road which led through the
pass toward Hendricksville.
The bitterness of it gripped the
mans heart and for the first time
since he had accomplished his re-
venge he felt that old insane anger
grip him again. What had he done
that he should be tricked on every
side? Was there no honesty, no hon.
or anywhere, that even these simple
people should attempt to trap him for

the scythe furiously, sprang to the
door and called to her.
She started as he called and looked
back fearfully. Haynes stood upon
the sill of the barn, the scythe hid
den behind him. There was no men,
ace in his voice, for he meant to use
cunning and not alarm the rest-but
he would hack the life out of this
treacherous human thing that sought
his own. 1t was only an instant till
the insane mood passed. When she
stood near him and he looked into
her childish face, the eyes downcast
in shame at the part that she had
been assigned to play, the anger fad
ed out of the mans heart and he let
his scythe drop noiselessly into the
straw
Can you give me a drink" he
asked hoarsely, pulling a bill from
his pocket. See, I'll pay you well
for it. Give me a pitcher of whisky

He knew that there was moonshine
whisky in all the houses Of the Cum
berlands

than Haynes request. She loathed

plan: her sympathies were with
every fugitive, as every hill woman's
must be; but that two thousand dol
lars meant incredible wealth to them.
Haynes understood the extremity Of
their temptation. too; that was why
he had let the scythe fall.
Now. IL they could make him drunk,
he would be captured without danger
and without making any resistance.
She babe the girl fill the pitcher to
the brim and carry 1t out to the man
in the barn.
The girl set down the pitcher at
Haynes hand and with a murmured

Afterward. from where he lay in the
straw, Haynes saw her stink away. a
shadow in the night, along the road
to Hendricksville. He did not plan
to drink the whisky. Instead, when
he became assured that no stealthy
watcher was near. he poured the con-
tents Of the pitcher into his little
gasoline tank. A quick test showed
him that the motor would run on
alcohol-not so we'll as with gasoline.
of course, but the top, once set in
motion, would run of its own energy
for so appreciate a period that even
a partial or spasmodic action of the
motor was sufficient for his purposes.
When he was ready to depart he
pinned two fifty-dollar bills to the wall
of the barn; he knew that they would
find them and understand Then he
crept out into the pass, fastened the
eyroscoDe to his feet and waited.

John Haynes had fulfilled all the
purposes which had inspired him
when he made his escape from the
state penitentiary at Nokomis Falls.
By means of the powerful gyrOscope
which he had invented, he hunted
down those enemies who had flung
him into prison upon trumped-up
charge; he had discovered the wife
and daughter who had been torn from
him, and he had placed them in each
others arms. Then, since his wife,
believing him dead, had married
again, and because the stains of blood
which he had shed in the accomplish
ment of his revenge lay on his soul,
he did not dare reveal himself to the
woman to whom he was still legally
bound, but made his way to a remote
corner of the United States and hid
there, under an assumed name.
How many thousands of miles he
had traversed upon that wonderful
machine of his! Travelling at the
speed of two hundred miles an hour,
whether it were bound to the feet or
attached to an automobile or any 9TH
er medium of locomotion, none could
successfully pursue him, had he but
a moments warning. But now he
wanted only to rest, to be alone, to
think. 1t seemed to him that, hav-
ing accomplished that revenge to
which he had dedicated his life, he
had no more to live for. His heart
was bound irrevocably to the, woman
whom he had left in far-off China;
Eleanor, his daughter, was happy in
her reunion with her mother and in
her marriage to the son of one of his
old enemies. Haynes would have well
coined death. But he was still COM
paratively young man; death seemed
intolerably remote. He did not know
what he would do. He rested, wait
ing till the plan came to him.
His rest was not destined to be a
long one. The stories of his deeds
had become common property
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. The government had taken
up the pursuit which his enemies
had abandoned perforce when their
Idle IucI luclIl. I1dyncS was pun
lie enemy. Crafty, silently, pro-
claiming nothing of it's intentions, the
federal government set to work to
hunt him down. What isolated men
could never hope to do, the power of
the nation might accomplish. Each
state secretly pledged itself to assist
in the work; the railroad companies,
the telegraph companies, scores of de-
tective agencies, all united against
him. Haynes never knew where the
blow was likely to fall
Once, when he had broken free
from the Gordon of men that had
gathered round the village in which
he rested, while rushing at furious
speed on his machine along the sim
gle rail of long stretch of line in
desolate district, some instinct
prompted him to cut off the power of
the gyroscope and stop. He did so;
then, looking ahead, he saw that a
section of the line had been removed
and cunningly replaced with painted
clay. To have struck that at his
tremendous speed would have meant
instant death.
Once again, rushing through a long
deflle In the Rockies, he encountered
new stone wall, built straight across
the metals at bend in the track.
The mortar was still damp on. it.
