the spot where he had left the car The chauffeur, who saw him coming started up and climbed to his seat Quest took his place.
 Drive to the office," he ordered.
 The man slipped in his clutch. They were in the act of gliding off when there was a tremendous report. They stopped short. The man jumped down and looked at the back tire.
 Blowout" he remarked laconically.
 Quest drowned
 How long will 1t take?"
 -Four minutes the man replied. I've got another wheel ready. That's the queerest blowout I ever saw, though"
 The two men leaned over the tire. Suddenly Quests expression changed. His hand stole into his hip pocket. "Tom," he explained, that wasn't a blowout at all Look here!"
 He pointed to the small level hole. Almost at once he stood back and the sunshine flashed upon the revolver clutched in his right hand.
 That was a bullet" he continued Someone fired at that tire. Tom, there's trouble about"
 The man looked nervously around.
 That's rife bullet, sure," he nut tered.
 Get on the wheel as quick as you can," Quest directed. Here, I'll give you hand"
 He stopped down to unfasten the straps which fastened the spare wheel It was one of his rare lapses, realized moment too late Almost in his ears came the hoarse cry:
 Hands up, guvnor! Hands up this second or I'll blow you to he'll"
 Quest glanced over his shoulder and looked into the face of Red Gallagher, raised little above the level of the road. A very ugly little revolver was pointed directly at Quests heart.
 My mates got you covered on the other side of the road, too Hands up, both of you, or we'll make a quick job of it."
 Quest shrugged his shoulders, threw his revolver into the road and obeyed AS he did so, the other man stole out from behind a bush and sprang for the chauffeur, who under cover of the car was stealing off. There was a brief struggle, then the dull thud of the railway mans rife falling on the chauffeur's head. He rolled over and lay in the road
 Pitch him off amongst the bushes" Red Gallagher ordered You don't want anyone who comes by to see Now lend me a hand with this chap"
 What do you propose to do with me?" Quest asked.
 You'll know soon enough" Red Gal lagher answered. "A matter of five minutes talk, to start with You see that handcar house?"
 Perfectly we'll" Quest assented. My eyesight Is quite normal.'
 Get there then. I'm yard behind you and my revolver's pointing for the middle of your back"
 Quest sprng lightly down from the road, crossed the few intervening yards and stepped into the ~handeal house.
 Gallagher and his mate followed close behind. Quest paused on the threshold
 It's a filthy dirty hole." he re- marked. Cant we have our little chat out here? Is it money you want?"
 Gallagher glanced around Then with an ugly push of the shoulder he sent Quest reeling into the shed. His great form blocked up the doorway
 "No," he cried fiercely, tits not money I want this time Quest, you brute, you dirty bloodhound! You sent me to the pen for five years-you

REMEMBER THAT

1t does no good to sit and while
And trouble to BEN oan,
Or tell some one how you repine.
Who's trials of his own.
Rather, stiffen up little bit,
And give an honest trial
To see how quickly troubles fit,
If you'll only crack a smile.
Let care meet deserved fate,
Forget-don't be chump;
Your many trials together rake
And throw them on the dump.
Why make so much fuss over a
little hyphen, when tits sad. but true.
that we all brought one over from
ancestral connections the difference
lies in it's age, that's all.
Some one please square the New
York bread line with "Kultur.'
International law and civilization
have not been on speaking terms
lately.
Truth plays no favorites, but false
hood must have it's pets-to be pop
ular.
Did you ever notice the fellow
that is always complaining of the
many difficulties besetting his path;
and of how there are so many thorns
and thistles in his life's pathway?
You have a vague feeling that if you
should suddenly turn to look you
would be sure to see a human por-
cupine, as it were. This is the fell
low that is always telling you how
heavy his burdens are,--compared
TO those of other people-that he is
bumped over like an Interrogation
mark in carrying it, to use smile!
While we know tina. he is composed
mostly of three parts jelly-fish and
one part limp k-bone, we, how
ever sympathize with him, not be-
cause of his means and groans,-but
because he is misdirecting energy
that. instead of being applied to seek
ing misery and despond. should be
turned to better uses. He is a crea-
ture of habit, and therefore, like
trait-habituals, must be given the
aid that will act as an antidote;-
aud what is a better antidote for
this afflicted fellow, than things that
cheer. If you want to be a means
of healing him. and be a samaritan
of the real sort, pass him a little
cheer; bear with his idiosyncrasies
for the sake of helping him, and pass
him the sympath!zing word once in
while, it may be the means of re-
viving his enfeebled courage to bear
things equanimically.
Don't despise the little things
If the big things you'd attain,
For many Titles much will bring,
To assure a Durposed aim.

EXPECTS INQUIRY INTO
CHARGE AGAINST BERNSTORFF
Secretary Of Labor Federation Thinks
British Ambassador Spoke Advisedlv.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Though he
would not positively confirm or deny the
story that German agents paid $1,000 to
get the Remington Arms Works strike
started, Secretary Morrison, of the Ameri-
can Labor Federation. suggested today
that If British Ambassador Spring Rice
made such charge TO the State Depart
ment he must have known what he was
talking about.
Neither the State Department nor the
British Embassy would discuss the mat
ter
That the complaint had been made was
generally believed, however It was
thought the department would investi-
gate, as such payment by. Ambassador
Bernstorff, to whom Spring Rice was re-
ported to have attributed It, would have
been n very serious breach of neutrality,
The German Embassy unqualfedly de-
MED the story.
The Labor Department said It was not
true that Congressman TSitchin and ex-
Congressman Reilly who were said TO be
on the scene of the Bridgeport strike, in
an effort to end 1t, were acting officially
for the Government. 1t was stated how
ever. that IL they found the Governments
good Offices would be acceptable they
probably would ask the departments as
aistance. II will not act until requested

LABOR SITUATION

Three Arms Companies, in Ad-

Grant Eight-Hour Day.

4 biiities OF a general ntrike that would af-
/ feet machinists all over the country were
| considerably less here today. Three arms
companies In addition to the Remington
concern today announced the granting OF
| an eight-hour day. and It was freely pre-
! dloted that before night other companies
would follow suit. The fact that labor
has the whip hand7-through the inn
mensity of war orders and the urgent
need OF speed In filling them-it was adj
mitted, caused the companies TO quickly
capitulate.
The Manufacturer Association has re-
fused to act az body on the matter OF
granting labors demands, II became
known today, At a secret meeting, which
lasted four hours, II decided to leave tie
issue In the hands OF individual manu-
facturers.
Labor mep saw in this action a victory.
They pointed out II would be easier to
deal with one employer than with 40.
Arbitration was being suggested by
manufacturers today II was generally
sldestepped by labor men, as they frankly
state their belief In the capitulation OF
all the manufacturers, II they only hold
on.
Reports that a Government mediator
was coming to Bridgeport to attempt set
tlement could not be confirmed, nor could
the Federal agent be found. Samuel
Gompers, likewise, was absent
Companies granting the eight-hour day
today were.
The Bryant Electric Company. a branch
Of the Westinghouse interests, employing

Poor Mccormack was actually kicked
from pillar to post. II he lay on shady
spot on the sidewalk he was stoned,
When he crawled into an empty box at
corner grocery he was kicked out. And
so he had to keep walking. 1t was from
sheer exhaustion that he dropped at last
near Front and Girard avenue Then he
tried TO get a drink from a horse trough,
but ne couldn't reach It. The stub of his
nose was a full inch below the top when
he stood on his hind legs and his parched
waggling tongue Tapped the wooden side
of the trough,
And It was then that little Marion
Green happened along. She saw that Nc
Cormack, a kindly looking Irish setter,
was struggling in vain for a drop of
water His eyes spoke volumes as they
glistened piteously at Marion. She lifted
him while he bent his head and drank his
I'LL.
The dog was more than grateful; he
licked her hands and jumped about Joy
ously on discovering some one who didn't
kick him. And then two or three boys
gathered around, and things again looked
blue for Mccormack. Marion had her
skipping rope under her arm She made
a little moose and took Mccormack to
the Front and Master streets police sta
tion.
This poor little dog has no home" she
told House Sergeant Frank Lins
'All right" said Llns, well fix him
up"
Marion patted him kindly and 1t took
many good-byes before she could leave
him. Mccormack cried when the iron
barred doors parted him from his little
friend and howled throughout the night.

I Ho regarded the cops as a common en-
omy. Terrorlsed by the fact that most
people approached him to iniict injury
Mccormick jumped at Turnkey Kenkelin
when the latter brought him some food
He was finally quieted and ate with one
suspicious eye upon his keeper
When Magistrate Scott arrived this
morning he was told about the prisoner.
who cried through the night and attacked
the turnkey.
So the dog was arraigned before the
Judge on the charge of mayhem and
disorderiy conduct. Somehow he seemed
to take liking to Judge Scott and ran
back of the desk and licked his hand
But the turnkey was not moved by the
prisoners attitude and determined to
press the charge. Looking at the dog
solemnly, he picked up the Bible and
read the 18th chapter, 9th verse OF Job
He teareth me in his wrath who hateth
me, he gnasheth upon me with his teeth;
mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon
me-"
The dog howled mournfully, indicating
that 1t was all true. and he was greatly
overawed. But there was a tinge of hope
in his eyes as he looked at the Judge and
pounded his tail on the floor
When asked what he had to say. the
tall thumped harder and the dog howled
He admits it, said the Judge finally,
but the prisoner is a victim of circum-
stances, and as little Marion Green was
Kind to him. why shouldn't the law fol-
low her example?"
Then looking intently at the prisoner
the Judge added, II sentence you to
spend the rest of the summer with me
at my cottage at Atlantic City"
And Mccormack got a good scrubbing to
prepare for his vacation.
