demanded 81 won't have you running
any risks"
"Pooh!' she derided. "All I'll do is
check up some figures"
MAKING her audit, however, was not
so simple a process as Jane gave
Steketee to understand it would be. The
next morning she got up half an hour
earlier than was her habit, and donned
her oldest dress and shoes. After hasty
breakfast she left the house at a quarter
past six.
She wore neither hat nor jacket. She
hurried to the factory by different
route from the one she usually took. She
opened the back gate of the factory yard
little after the half hour, and slipped into
the big building by rear door.
Jane had calculated accurately. The
old night watchman, after unlocking the
gates and doors for the employees due in
ten or fifteen minutes, was washing up
before going home.
The amateur detective noiselessly
walked to the back corner where the scrap
metal was kept in bins. Tiers of shelves
lined the aisles to the ceiling. Across the
about foot wide to prevent the contents
of the stock compartments from falling
out. Jane agilely climbed to the top shelf
nearest the junk-bins.
Fortunately for her purpose, it was used
only for the storage of out-of-date coils.
The day before, Jane had pretended to
look the windings over, and had stacked
them at one end of the compartment.
There was just room enough now for her
to lie prone.
She knew that she was invisible from
the aisle. A crack between the floor of the
shelf and the protecting board across the
front enabled her to see the scrap metal
and the scales clearly.
One element of her stratagem, how
ever, Jane had failed to take into con-
sideration. She had not realized how
agonizing it would be to lie fiat and mo-
tionless on the hard shelf. Even before
the siren screeched at seven o'clock. she
was cramped She moved gingerly to
ease her position, but the next instant she
stopped, breathless. The boards had
creaked under her weight; little cloud
of dust puffed through the crack.
The hour that followed seemed endless.
ABOVE ner neau she coulu near tue Scullle
of chairs and the click of the girls heels in
her own department. She recognized the
heavier tread of Steketee, and knew he
was doing double duty, as she had ar
ranged. From the ground floor came the

front of their department. Trucks rum

the range of her vision until after eight
o'clock The girl grew stiff and sore in
every muscle.
Jane had just made up her mind to risk
turning on her side when she heard Gal
lands big voice and the answering cackle
of Kargowitz. In moment she was hold
ing herself rigid while the two men APP
preached down the aisle. Behind them
came three packers, dragging hand-trucks
loaded with empty barrels A fourth boy
trundled the platform scales.
The little procession stopped directly
below James aerie. The excited girl
watched the scales swung into position.
Galland brusquely ordered the boys to
begin filling the four barrels with copper,

movement tortured her sore muscles, but
the ensuing ease was such relief that for
several minutes she lay supine in blissful
comfort. The CONSTRUCTED blood tingled
through her limbs again with delicious
pricklings of benumbed nerves. She
smiled happily.
After while she CROPPED for her pad.
She had not been able to discern the num-
bers of the seven barrels Galland had in
dicated to kargowitz, and she studied her
lists thoughtfully. Then she carefully folded
the tabulation and slipped the paper into
the waist Of her dress. She lay relaxed
again, and stared at the ceiling, closing
her eyes in order to concentrate her
thoughts. Jane had no idea she was get

BROKEN BICYCLE

Likes the Life.

NEW YORK, Nov Ralph De
Palma owes his entry into the auto
mobile racing game TO the fact that
he borrowed a bicycle something like
20 years ago, used it for the first time
while out delivering a mess OF
groceries and busted the machine
and nearly busted his young frame
by getting INFO a smashup while coast
ing down hill.
When Ralph returned 10 the owner
of that bike the fragments of his ma
chine. the owner wanted to assassinate
Ralph, but Ralph saved his hide by
agreeing TO pay the bike owner for the
damage done as soon as he could
gather in the mazuma through the
medium of his weekly stipend as a
grocery boy
However, the bike owner became
impatient because payments were
slow, and he approached Ralph on
the subject
I'm doing the best I cant explain
ed Ralph.

sponded Ralph's creditor. you gotta

Gimme a few days TO think this

ing those days De Palma wTacked his
brain for some plan whereby he could
raise funds quickly, but none came
forth until one day he saw a billboard
telling about a bicycle race TO be held
in Buffalo, with cash prizes for the
first eight men finishing.
Gee whiz" calculated Ralph. Now
il may be explained that after that
smashup Ralph had decided never to
do any more riding But sometimes
circumstances alter cases-and cause a
change of mind That's what the cir
cumstances did for Ralph and he
quickly hunted Up his creditor.
"Say didiu Get that bike fixed up

I'll enter the races here and if 7 grab

money in il for me to pay you what

big prizes I'll buy you n new bike in

trusting his bike again 10 the dare

HARPER PUTS COLD
AND BLUE THROUGH
FAST SIGNAL DRILL
All Injured Men Are Recovered
and Expect to Meet
Army in Good
Shape.

Light practice was the order OF the
dav in the first OF the final workouts
IN preparation for the West Point
game at Notre Dame yesterday AFTER
noon.
Coaches Harper and Rockne put
the Hoosiers through a fast signal
drill and gave them workout AT
dummy scrimmage. There was no
rough work. however. and the men
we're subjected TO nothing strenuous
in the way Of practice.
All of the Notre Dame men came
out Of the South Dakota game in good
shane. This was the declaration OF
Coach Harper following yesterday al
ternoon's workout and the news brings
delight 70 the hearts OF the fans.
Barring the possibility OF injuries dur
ing this weeks practice, the Noue
Dame eleven will enter the fray with
the Army Saturday in good shape
Injured Men Recovered.
The majority of the athletes have
finally succeeded in Kidding themselves
of the effects OF the hard Nebraska
battle a week ago Saturday. and there
was speed and dash shown in yester-
days workout.
Hugh O'Donnell, the regular varsity
center. who was kept out of the South
Dakota game in order that he might
round into shape for the West Point
clash. was out last night and worked
at the pivot position both in signal
drill and dummy scrimmage. He eX-
hibited his usual speed and stiffness
and Ii is likely that he will be in good
condition for the Army game. O'DOn-
nell was injured in the Nebraska game
and was taken out in the last quarter.
He has now been given a week in
which TO recuperate and the rest
seems to have done him world of
good.
The local squad will leave for West
Point Thursday noon, according to an
nouncement of Coach Harper yester-
day. This probably means that there
will be but two more days Of prac-
tice on the home lot before the men
leave for the scene of the battle. 1t
is likely that the team will take a
light workout in the east Friday after
noon.
Rioters are beginning to hope for
a victory over the Army Saturday. A
win for Notre Dame would mean that
the locals had taken two out of three
clashes with the cadets The West
Point game will be the only invasion
OF the east to be made by Notre Dame
this year.

Money i'm Racing Game.

That decided me that there was
money in the racing game" said De
Palma. L knew there were risks, too.
but life is just a gamble. In raving
one runs big risk but plays for high
stakes. I liked the thrill OF racing
and l stayed in the bike game.
Later l got into the motorcycle
racing game and afterward gradu-
ated into the automobile game. But
| never would have become g. racer If
II hadn't been that / was forced to
raise money quickly under penalty Of
having my nose busted. Sometimes
accidents keep men out Of the racing
game. The first accident of mine got
me into IT,"
De Palma entered the automobile
racing game in 1907 and since then
has won 225 races. He has finished
in the money in something like $50
others. and his total winnings have
been in the neighborhood Of $500, 900
But, you know, 1 didn't get all
that money" explained De Palma. In
many Of the races 1 ran had agree
ments with other drivers that we'd
split what we made. That, Of course,
let the other fellows in on my share.
Furthermore. l sometimes had agree
ments with the concerns that owned
the cars that l drove that they were
to pay me a regular salary each year
and l was to give them 60 per cent of
my winnings Another 10 or 20 per
cent OF the winning went TO my mecn-
anician.
It's a great game, this auto racing.
It's dangerous, yet, but / like it
like the thrill that comes through eat
ing up space and l hope that 1 can
stick to the game for many years to
come"
