Mr.. Dyer, health inspector, stated
he had ordered that no child under
sixteen years be admitted to moving
picture shows in the borough, because
of the danger of infantile paralysis.
Then ensued a long discussion of
the scourge and its prevention. The
clerk was instructed to communicate
with Mr.. Schenck asking him to al
low no children in his park under
sixteen. Miss Dorothy Kittan was
appointed to go about the borough
and see that all homes were kept
clean. The young woman has the
power to make arrests. DR.. He'll
stern advocated cleanliness as the
best preventative and mentioned the
flushing out of stagnant cutters.
An interesting fact concerning the
public health was brought up by Mr..
Neumann, who said that with the 200
some odd working men on roads in
the borough, no toilet accommoda-
lions had been arranged for by the
contractors. The engineer was in
structed to look after the nuisance.
After considerable debate in which
Walter Bender played the leading
role, an ordinance to macadamize and
improve Winterburn Grove road was
passed upon first reading. Com
plants will be received at the July

Suddenly there was q scream or two
from the women and a commotion.
Unperceived by the elders, May, the
nine-yearold girl, in a spirit of play,
had shut Agatha in the vault. She had
then shot the bolts and turned the
knob of the combination as she had
seen Mr.. Adams do.
The old banker sprang to the handle
and tugged at it for moment. 'The
door can't be opened" he groaned.
1.-THE clock hasn't been wound nor the
combina ton set"
Agathas mother screamed again hys-
terically.
''Hushl" said Mr.. Adams, raising his
trembling hand. "All be quiet for
moment. Agatha!' he called as loudly
as he could. Listen to me-" During
the following silence they could just
hear the faint sound of the child wildly
shrieking in the dark vault in a panic
of terror.
"My precious darlingv walled the
mother. 'She will die of fright! Open
the door. Oh, break it openl Cant
you men do something's
There isn't q man nearer than Lit
tie Rock who can open that door," said
Mr.. Adams in a shaky voice. MY
God, Spencer, what shall we do? That
child-she can't stand it long in there.
There isn't enough air, and, besides,
she'll go into commissions from fright"
Agatha's mother, frantic now, beat
the door of the vault with her hands.
Somebody wildly suggested dynamite,
Annabel turned to Jimmy, her large
eyes full of anguish, but not yet de-
spairing. To woman nothing seems
quite impossible to the powers Of the
man she worships.
Cant you do something, Ralph?
Try, won't you?"
He looked at her with queer soft
smile on his lips and in his keen eyes.
"Annabel," he said give me that

Hardly believing that she heard him
Alright, she unpinned the bud from the
bosom of her dress and placed it In
his hand. Jimmy stuffed it into his
vest pocket, threw off his coat and
pulled up his shirt sleeves. With that
act Ralph d. Spencer passed away
and Jimmy Valentine took his place.
''Get away from the door, all OF
YOU" he commanded shortly.
He set his suit case on the table and
opened it out fat. From that time on
he seemed to be unconscious of the
presence of any one else. He laid out
the shining. queer implements swiftlr
and orderly. whistling softly to him.

."Going to marry the bankers daugh-

self softly. well, don't known
The next orning Jimmy took break
fast at the Adamses. He was going to
Little Rock that day to order his we'd
ding suit and buy something nice for
Annabel. That would be the first time
he had left town since he came to Ell
more. 1t had been more than year
now since those last professional
"jobs," and he thought he could safely
venture out
After breakfast quite a family party
went downtown together-Mr. Adams,
Annabel, Jimmy and Annabels married
sister with her two little girls, aged
five and nine. They came by the ho-
tel where Jimmy still boarded, and he
ran up to his room and brought along
his suit case. Then they went on to
the bank. There stood Jimmy's horse
and buggy and Dolph Gibson, who was
going to drive him over to the railroad
station.
All went inside the high, carved oak
ratings into the banking room. Jimmy
included, for Mr. Adams future son-in-
law was welcome anywhere. The
clerks were pleased to be greeted by
the good looking, agreeable young man
who was going to marry Miss Annabel.
Jimmy set his suit case down. An
mabel. whose heart was bubbling with
happiness and lively youth. put Oh jim

said Annabel My, Ralph, how heavy

going to return. Thought I'd save eX-
press charges by taking them up. Pm

The Gilmore bank had just put in a
new safe and vault. Mr. Adams was
very proud of it and insisted on an in
spection by every one. The vault was
a small one, but it had new patented
door. 1t fastened with three solid steel
bolts thrown simultaneously with sin
gle handle and had time lock. Mr..
Adams beamingly explained its work
ings to Mr.. Spencer, who showed
courteous but not too intelligent inter
est. The two children, May and Agatha,
were delighted by the shining metal
and funny clock and knobs.
While they were thus engaged Ben
Price sauntered i'll and leaned on his
elbow, looking casually inside between
the ratings. He told the teller that he
didn't want anything; he was just wait
ing for a man he knew.

Jimmy Valentine put on his coat and
walked outside the ratings toward the
front door, AS he went he thought he

At the door big man stood some

Hello, Benz said Jimmy, still with
his strange smile. Got around at
last, have you? Well, let's go. don't
know that it makes much difference

And then Ben Price acted rather
strangely.
"Guess you're mistaken, Mr.. Spen-
cer" he said. cont believe I recog-
nize you. Your buggy's waiting for

And Ben Price turned and strolled
down the street.

don, which had been signed that morn
ing by the governor. Jimmy took
it in a tired kind of way. He had
served nearly ten months of four
year sentence. He had expected to
stay only about three months at the
longest. When a man with as many
friends on the outside as Jimmy Val
entine had is received in the ''stir'' it is
hardly worth while to cut his hair.
"Now Valentine" said the warden,
you'll go out in the morning. Brace
up and make man of yourself. You're
not bad fellow at heart. Stop crack
ing safes and live straight"
"Me?" said Jimmy in surprise.
why, l never cracked a safe in my
life.'
ooh, no. laughed the warden. "Of
course not. Let's see, now How was
it you happened to get sent up on that
Springfield job? Was it because you
wouldn't prove an alibi for fear of
compromising somebody in extremely
high toned society? Or was it simply
a case of mean old jury that had it
In for you? It's always one or the
other with you innocent victims"

warden, land fix him up with Outgo-

At a quarter past on the next
morning Jimmy stood in the warden's
outer office. He had on a suit of the
villainously fitting, readymade clothes
and pair of the stiff, squealxy shoes
that the state furnishes to its dis
charged compulsory guests.
The clerk handed him railroad
ticket and the five dollar bill with
which the law expected him to reha
bilitate himself into good citizenship
and prosperity. The warden gave him
a cigar and shook hands. Valentine

TUCUMCARI MAY
SECURE Y. N. c. A.

A. 3. Richardson, Of Bisbee, Ariz.,
is here today looking over the propo-
sition Of putting in a railroad Y. M.
c. A. He is special representative
of the railroad company and will meet
with the railroad boys tonight at the
Vorenberg Hotel.
This is one thing the citizens of
Tucumcari and vicinity need. II fur
nishes a pleasant place to loaf or in
which to spend the time which would
otherwise be spent in non-desirable
places.
The Y. NJ. c. A. Is a good moral
resort where good reading and writ
ing materials are at the service of
the public. The city should go into
the proposition with the railroad men
and make IL a grand success like AL
buquerque and other wide-awake, pro-
gressive towns in this and other states
and the reward for their services will
be great.
Where the association is large and
prosperous enough to establish gym
nasium IL will assist in developing
athletes and give the weak place
to gradually become strong through
daily exercises. The right mode Of
exercise is much better than medi-
cine and much more appreciated after
one learns how to take such exercise.
Over indulgence in anything is harm
full, but most Y. M. c. A. are prop
erly equipped with apparatus and n
secretary that will not allow things
to be abused either by members or
visitors, thus everything is regulated
even better than some of our public
schools.
Mr.. Richardson thinks there is no
doubt about the proposition going
through so far as the railroad is con-
cerned but the city must show de-
sire to cooperate IL the public is TO
be taken in.
