Elan was the Main Whizzer in a huddle of Queen Annes. bounded on the North by a gieaming Cemetery, on the East by a limping Subdivision, on the South by a deserted Creamery. snd on the West by an expanse of Stubble.
 Ciaudine was the other two-thirds of the Speciality.
 She was a snappy little Trick. and it was dull hour of the Day or Night when she couldn't frame up a new General Order for the Breadwinner
 The Marriage came of during the third summer of her twenty-seventh year.
 She accepted Elan about a week before he proposed to her. thus sim plifying the Ordeal
 While the Wafer on the License was still warm. she put on her spangled Suit, moved to the center of the Ring. and cracked the Whip
 After that Elam continued to be a Hellion around the Office. but in his private Quarters he was merely Otto. the Trained Seal
 Ciaudine could make him bark, play the Cymbals. or go back to the Blue Bench.
 There is one Eiam in every Settle ment.
 All the wise Paper-flangers and the fly Guitar Players had him marked up as a Noodle. but somehow. every time the winning Numbers were hung out. he would be found in Line, waiting to cash.
 He was not Bright enough to do any thing except garner the Gold Certifi- cates.
 Elam had no Ear for Music. and. coming out of the Opera House. never could remember the name of the Play or which one of the Burglars was the real Hero.
 His Reading was confined to the Headlines of a conservative Paper which was still printing War News. Baseball had not come into his Life whatsoever.
 4 cultured Steno, who knew about George Meredith and Arnold Bennett. had to do his Spelling for him at II Bucks per.
 The Cerebellum of Elam was prob ably about the dimensions Of a Malaga Grape.
 Sizing him by his Looks. one would have opined that Nature meant him for a Ticket-taker in suburban Cinema Palace.
 Nevertheless. he had his Opinions. He, believed that Congress should al ways adjourn immediately after con vening. and not tanper with Business. He felt confident that Our Country might develop Future if the Labor Unions could be suppressed.
 Eiam was a mental Chat and 8

Next day. thousands of warm-heart- ed New Workers were packed along the Water Front all the Way from the Battery to Grants Tomb, giving royal Welcome to the Corn-fed Pilgrims. At ! any rate, they were Packed When Elam and Claudine entered the Hotel. the discerning Rell-Hops ! had registered.
 They were Important. but they did not carry any Signs. Elam should have worn the Letter of Credit on the outside. ! After they had taken the Imperial { Suite and invited all the Servants on the Twelfth Floor to a Silver Shower. they found that the Call-Belis worked [ fine. If Elam moved in the general i direction of a Button. a handsome | West Pointer would fit in with a 1 pitcher of Iced Water and then hover | around for his Bit
 Both realized that the first requisite was lot of new money. Even when they rapped sharply with a Spoon and ordered Garcon to hurry up the Little Birds with a | Flagon of St Regis Bubbles to come along as a Drench. they realized that they did not look the Parts.
 Elam still combed his Hair in the style approved by the 'Barbers' Guide and Manual" for 1887.
 Claudine was fully clothed as far up as her Neck and didn't have the | Nerve 10 hoist the Lorgnette
 Elan went out and had himself draped by a swagger Tailor who was said to do lot of Work for the Van derbilt boys.
 Tn his Afternoon Wear he resembled the Manager Of a BIacK-Goods Depart ment.
 | After donning the complete Soup and Fish. known in swozzey circles as i Thirteen and the Odd, he didn't look as much like Waiter as one might have supposed. He looked more like the Bus who takes away the Dishes. Ciaudine yielded herself up to a Modiste. The good Woman from out of Town vas a triie Long in the | Tooth at this stage of our Narrative. but Mme- Bunk convinced her that she was about half way between the Trundle Bed and her First Party. She ordered all the chic Novelties recommended for Flappers. so that Elam began to walk about ten feet behind her. wondering vaguely if his Family was still respectable
 The new Harness and a careless habit of counting Money in Public soon gave them an enviable Reputa. ton in the Principal Cafes. although they could not observe that they were moving any nearer to the Newport Colony.
 The shift from Pigs Knuckles to Ambrosia and Nectar had been a little sudden for Elam, and sometimes when they were darting hither and thither. from Road-House to Play House and thence to the Louis XIV Sitting Room by way of the Tango Joint, he would moan a little and act like a Quitter.
 Whereupon Claudine would jack him up and tell him to pull oGt his

This time they took a Home in Nsx

This time they took Home in New York and went after Grand Opera as if they knew what it was about.
 The Son of an Eari consented to Buttle for them. He refused them Butter with their Meals a0d kept them trembling most of the time but they determined to do things Right. even if both died of Nervous Prostration
 When they began making real Head way and were recognized in the Park by some of the Headliners, Claudine would chide Elam for his early Doubts and Fears.
 This has got the Middle West skinned forty ways from the Jack she would exclaim gayly, as they motored up the Avenue Me for the White Lights It's a good thing you had a Pacemaker or you would now be wear ing Detachable Cuffs and putting Sugar on your Lettuce"
 Two years had elapsed since the es- cape from being Buried Alive. They were, to all outward appearances, City broke
 One day Claudne allowed that she was tired of Bridge and the gay Rou- tine. She announced that she was slipping away to Virginia Hot Springs to cool out and rest.
 Elam said that while she was lying up, he would inspect certain Mining Properties in Canada.
 He drove Honey to the train; then he tore back to the palatial Home, chucked few Props into Suit Case, and headed for the Grand Central. He never stopped going until he tucked in the Back Way. through the Grape Arbor. past the Woodshed. into the Kitchen of the old Homestead in which he first saw the Light of Day.
 Gusta nearly keeled when she lamped the Iong-lost Boss.
 Get busy" he said, One fried Steak, the size of I.ap-Robe, smoth- without any Armor Plate. one bushei of homemade Pork and Beans. much butter. and a Gallon of Coffee in a Tureen."

Cultivatinq Safe Habits.

There is much in mental habits in relation to industrial safety. Accord. ing to Safety. publication of the New York Central railroad. "self-control is one of the big things in life. Many times railroad men are injured through taking unnecessary chances that are the results of sudden i'm. pulses. It is common, for instance, for trainman switching cars. upon observing a coupler not properly lined up just as cars are about to come to- gether, to impulsively step in and shove the coupler over without first stopping the cars. Often these things, at first done impulsively. are tried again and again. until an unsafe habit is formed. The necessity of cultivat. ing coolheadedness and self-control, as a safety factor, is indisputable.
