SON SOLD AUTO AND
FATHER is WROTH
BattrornaI DcbrosIi Tells His Trouble
to tho Police Who Can Only
Listen TO His Tale of Woe.

Because his son, youth of TWEEN
four, got stuck in an automobile
trade. the police had to listen to a
tale of woe from Battromal Debroski
of 10 Clinton street last night The
car is question belonged to Debrosli,
ST., but the boy was given some lib
critics with it and when the latter saw
q chance to trade it in for anoth er
machine and boot of 1875 he leaped at
the golden opportunity.
The trade was made at a local gar
age. The son went to his father for
the 1915 and things began to happen
around the Clinton street domicile
Here was a pretty pickle. Debroski's
car was gone and to get another it
would be necessary to raise the ante
to 1915.
The police listened to the story, at
least Captain Grace did, and then
was forced to announce that he was
powerless a difficult and humilating
thing for a policeman to do under
most circumstances. The police CAP
tain reflected that he could arrest
young Debroski if that would offer
any balm to the parents wounded
feelings, but the offer was speedinty
rejected. Debroski ST., was then told
to see a lawyer.

No Waiting Station for North End
Lack of money is the excuse the
Connecticut company offers for not
! constructing waiting station at
Francis street, the terminus of the
North End trolley line. The commit
| tee prepared the following report on
this matter:
The committee on railroads begs
! to report, with reference to resolution
! NO. A, February II, to the effect that
the railroad committee take up with
the Connecticut company the question
| OF a waiting station at the end of
the Stanley street trolley line at Fran
els street, that they have presented
4 the matter to the Connecticut com
pany, both locally and to the vice
| president; that the Connecticut COM
pany does not feel that the existing
conditions, nor their own financial
condition, warrants the expenditure
of money for such waiting station,
and after consulting residents of the
locality it appears that Mr.. Ibells
store is open week days and Sundays
nearly all the time that cars are OPP
Grated, and that the public is welcome
to use his store and it's verandas as
a waiting room and does So There is
! no land available upon which the
! company could erect q waiting sta
| ton, and it is the opinion of promi-
nent residents and property owners in
| the vicinity, that such waiting room
| would be used as a loafing place, and
that it is not to the advantage of the
! residents Whereabouts that the waiting
| station be ereced."
! North End Line Poor Payer.
| Chairman Landecs reported on the
| council petition for a fifteen minute
| schedule on the North End trolley line.
| He conferred with the local manager
and the vice president of the company
and both said they did not believe
| conditions warranted fifteen minute
schedule as the line makes less return
to the company than any other local
| branch AT present the line has q
| twenty minute schedule.

A pursuit of other topics, the
elder Norcross again fixed his

wish my girls had your weight and

sumed with weary infection: Mrs.
Norcross has always>been delicate and
all her children-even her son-take
and very expensive hospital for nearly
thirty years"
This regretful note in his fathers
voice gave Wayland confidence His
spirits rose.
"Come, let's adjourn to the parlor
and talk things over at our ease"
They ali followed him, and after
showing the mother and daughter to
their seats near window, he drew his
father into a corner, and In rapid I'M
dertone related the story of his first
meeting with Berrie, of his trouble
with young Belden, of his camping
trip, minutely describing the encounter
on the mountainSide and ended by say
ing, with manly directness: Il would
be up there in the mountains in box
If Berrie had not interviewed. She's a
noble girl, father, and is foolish enough
to like me, and I'm going to marry her
and try to make her happy"
The old lumberman, who had listen
ed intently all through this impassion-
ed story, displayed no sign of surprise
at its closing declaration, but his eyes
explored his sons soul with calm alb
straction. Send her over to me-" he
said at last. Marriage is Il serious
matter. | want to talk with her
alone"
Wayland went back to the women
with an air of victory. HE wants TO
see you, Berrie. He's mellowing.
Don't be afraid of him."
She might have resented the fathers
lack of gallantry, but she did not. On
the contrary, she rose and walked res
olutely over to where he sat- quite
ready to defend herself. He did not
rise to meet her, but she did not count
that against him, for there was nothing
essentially rude in his manner. He
was merely her elder and inert.
"Sit down." he said not unkindly
Il want to have you tell me about nv
