"Henry Brown" Was in No Need

man who requests that his name be
not used in connection with this story,
likes to do his own automobile repair

his house, temporarily; that is, he Is
renting a garage about a block away
from home. And one Sunday morning
he put on his working clothes and went
over to do some tinkering on his ma
chine.
When he had finished puttering
about. he was pretty dirty. His clothes
were a mess, but that didn't make any
difference. for they were regular work
ing clothes. His hands were black.
and he was sadly in need of shave.
So he hurried home to clean up. And
on the sidewalk, few doors from
his home, he met a man whom he
hadn't seen for 20 years.
"Why, isn't this Henry Brown?
asked the other man.
Eyes, it u.s." answered our friend.
"And I guess you're Jim Jones. Glad
to see you. What are you doing In
Cleveland?"

days." answered the old friend, looking
our hero over with a puzzled express

"Yes, I've lived here for 20 years"
answered Mr.. Brown, who was totally
unconscious of his appearance. and
wondered at the plying and puzzled
expression on the others face. II sup

Brown stood staring at him as he
hurried away. Then he grihned and

HeIma Marched Him to the Station

Helma using some of her surplus wind
to address the world at large concern
ing "Murder!" Thief" and "Police !"
Her strategy was good. 1t was only
a second or two before John had about
300 men and boys in his wake.
He turned at the first alley and dart.
ed through the first open door he
found. 1t happened to be the back
door entrance to South Clark street
saloon.
Here there were few standing at the
bar. There was no cash in sight and
mixed drinks were nix. At the many
tables lining the wall, however, were
many persons of leisure, with legs
stretched out and big schooners of
foaming "suds" in hand.
Into this serene and unruffled at
mosphere burst John and Helma. Ia.
bles were overturned, chairs were brok.
en-. the "suds" were split, and the
'bOs" trampled.
John Surrenders.
The passage proved too much for
Johns resisting powers and he surren-
dered meekly. Then Helma triumph
antly marched him to the station,
where she lodged her complaint of non
support against him.
When asked 10 sign the complaint
Mrs. Peterson confessed some doubt
as what name she should use.
