MACHINE COUNTS THE COIN
Method of Relieving Congestion at
Railroad Ticket Windows Is
Successful.

The company which operates the
tube under the North river having re-
ceived many complaints from patrons
about delays at the ticket windows,
started an experiment recently, de-
signed to prevent the late conner from
missing a train because of delays in
the ticket line, a New York CORE
spondent Of the Pittsburgh Chronicle
writes.
The experiment applied only to the
station in Jersey City, The ticket
chopper at that point was authorized
to allow passengers to drop coins in
the ticket box. Either tickets or coins
were accepted. The practice did not
prove satisfactory however, for the
ticket chopper was no cashier and, be-
sides, he could not help chopping the
nickelS instead of the tickets. SO the
company installed n separate slot for
coins. This worked better, but over
burdened the ticket chopper with
duties, and still another correction
was necessary. The railroad company
then installed a motor in the coin box.
This motor counts every penny, nickel,
dime, quarter or other coin which is
deposited in the box. All the ticket
chopper has to do is to turn a crank
once in while. The experiment, it is
said, has brought satisfactory results.

CHAPTER III.
Mrs. Whitaker.

He lived through a long, bad quarter
hour, his own tensed nerves twanging
in sympathy with the girls sobbing--
his mind busy with many thoughts.
strangely new and compelling, wearing
a fresh complexion that lacked alto
gether the coloring of self-interest.
He mixed a weak draught of brandy
and water and returned to the bedside.
She made an effort to rise. The eff
feet was quickly apparent in the color
that came into her cheeks, faint but
warm. After a moment she asked:
''Please-who are your?
"AIy name is Whitaker" he said
"Hugh Morten Whitaker II didn't
want to be known, SO registered as
Hugh Morten. They mistook me for
your husband"
The girl swung to her feet.
81 want to tell you something" She
faced him bravely, though he refused
the challenge of her tormented eyes.
won't you listen?"
He crossed to a window, where he
stood staring out. 'Pd rather noti' he
said softly, but if you prefer"
81 do prefer" said the voice behind
him. 'I-rm Mary Ladislas."
"Yes," said Whitaker.
81 ran away from home last
week-fve days ago-to get married
to our chauffeur, Charles Morton :. :"
She stammered.
"Please don't go on, if it hurts" he
begged without looking around.
1--WE got to-Ive got TO get it over
with. We were at Southampton,
at my fathers summer home--I mean,
that's where l ran away from. He
CharIey-drove me over to Greenport
and took the ferry there and came
here to wait for him. He went to New
York in the car, promising to join me
here as soon as possible. :"
"And he didn't come" Whitaker
wound up for her, when she faltered.
''How much money Of yours did he
take with him?'
There was a brief pause of aston
ishment what DO you know about
that?" she demanded.
Il know a good deal about that type
of man." he said grimly.

Baskets in Short Supply.

The basket man has been having
troubles of his own since the begin
ming of the war. Baskets which were
imported from France and Germany
come now in uncertain quantities from
Holland, which has no willows. Some
of the old stock from earlier importa-
lions still remains. Among these are
baskets which came from Germany
and go largely to the South, where
they are used for small market bas-
kets. They are the old-fashioned kind,
high and reticul-shaped, with cover.
A basket lin its cheapest form, which
Is devoted TO the baby, is Of splints.
1t is an extra-size market basket with
the usual handles at the ends. This
is swung on a simple iron frame and
makes a baby's cradle. Others of
these with ribs for a hood top are
placed on the floor, having no stand
ard.

AeropIane on Flying Boat.

A most unusual aerOnautical expert
ment is being carried out by German
experts, according to Popular Mechan-
les. It deals with the development of
a powerful flying boat which carries,
for both defensive and offensive pur-
poses, a swift, mosquito-like aero
plane on its back. The machine, when
last heard of, was being put through
test flights, but had not at that time
been sufficiently refined to warrant its
actual use.
The new machine has such remark
able stability, carrying capacity and
cruising radius that It's engineers think
it can be made to replace the bulky,
highly expensive Zeppellns which have
proved disappointing.

NO Joy IN GREAT WEALTH
Altogether PowerIess to Confer Happl.
ness on Owner, According to
Charles M. Schwab.

money for moneys sake" Charles
NJ. Schwab, the steel magnate. ex-
claimed, according to a writer in
American Magazine, SIS a futile goal
to aim at. Money is merely one way
in which a man may measure his
achievement; but there are many 9TH
er ways.
Il always pity the man who says,
When ] get so much money / am GO
Ing to retire and enjoy life.' The
greatest thrill that can come to any
man is the thrill of successful accom-
pushment.
I'm the last year have had oppor-
tunities to sell out Bethlehem for al
most fabulous sums. They did not
even interest me. If l gave up my
business 1 would be resigning my
greatest interest in life. l want to
make Bethlehem bigger and better all
the time. 1 don't want to make it
money mill. want to make it the
greatest success possible, the steel
standard of the world.
'There is no enjoyment in great
wealth" he went on at last. Zone of
the greatest happinesses of life is in
having something to look forward to-
something just out of reach--some-
thing that you are not quite able to
afford. When a man reaches the place
where he can get any of the worlds
purchasable things simply by writing
out check, he has cut loose from
happiness unless he is fortunate
enough to have powerful interests of
constructive sort quite apart from
his money.
"When reasonable man is getting
$4,000 or $4,000 a year he is getting
the most he can possibly want to sat
isfy his reeds. When he gets more
he begins to invite unhappiness, and
the more he gets the more unhappiness
he invites. One soon loses the enjoy
ment of spending money. One soon
wearies of riding about for pleasure
in private yachts and private cars"

woman. It seemed as If the high goes
were hardly playing fair, to throw a
fainting woman on his hands just then,
at time when he was all preoccupied
with his own absorbing tragedy.
Even while this thought was run
ming through his mind, he was gather
ing the slight young body into his
arms; and he found it really astonish-
ingly easy to rise and bear her to
the bed. Then turning to his handbag,
he opened 1t and produced a small,
leather-bound flask of brandy; a little
of which would go far toward shatter-
ing her syncope, he fancied.
1t did, in fact; a few drops between
her half-parted lips, and she came to
with diseoncerting rapidity, opening
dazed eyes in the middle of spasm of
coughing. He stepped back, stoppering
the flask.
'That's better" he said pleasantly.
Now lie still while l fetch you
drink of water"
AS he turned to the washstand his
foot struck the tumbler she had
dropped. He stopped short, frowning
down at the great, staring, wet, vel
low stain on the dingy and threadbare
carpet. Together with this discovery
he got a Whit Of an acrid-sweet

The thought came to him that he

dry marks on his clothing.
In his own good time the clerk ap-
peared. His welcome was an indiffer-
ent nod and glance at the register
which seemed unaccountably to mod
crate his apathy.
Mr.. Morton-uh?" he inquired.
Whitaker nodded without words.
The youth shrugged and scrawled
hieroglyph after the name. 'Here,

further remark: "Trunks?"

The youth seemed about to expos
tulate, but checked when Whitaker
placed one of his hundred-dollar notes
on the counter.
Il think that'n cover my liability"
he said with a significance misinter-
preted by the other.
Il amt got enough change"
That's all right; I'm in no hurry"
The eyes of the lout followed him
as he assembled the stairs. On the
second floor as Whitaker came into
view, the boy thrust open the door,
disappeared for an instant, and came
out minus the bag. Whitaker gave
him coin In passlng-an attention
which he acknowledged by pulling the
door to with bang the moment the
guest had entered the room. At the
same time Whitaker became aware of
contretemps.
The room was Of fair size, and 1t
was tenanted by q woman in street
dress. She stood by the washstand,
with her back to the light, her attitude
one of tense expectancy; hardly more
than silhouette of figure moderate
ly tall and very slight, almost angular
in its slenderness. She had been hold
ing tumbler in one hand, but as
Whitaker appeared this slipped from
her fingers; there followed thud and
a sound Of split liquid at her feet. She
moved forward a pace or two, her
hands 1uttering out toward him, then
stopped as though halted by a force
implacable and overpowering.
II thought" she quavered in q
stricken volce-'T thought. you

. . the boy said ;"
Then her knees buckled under her
and she plunged forward and fell with
a thump that shook the walls.
'Im sorry-I beg pardon" Whit
aker stammered stupidity to ears that
couldn't hear. He swore softly with
evaporation, threw his hat to a chair
and dropped to his knees beside the

druggists label on the empty packet
on the washstand.
In another moment he was back at
the bedside with a clean glass of wa
ter, which he offered to the girls lips,
passing his arm beneath her shoulders
and lifting her head so that she might
drink.
She emptied the glass thirstily.
Look here" he said almost roughly
under the lash of this new fear-"you
didn't really drink any of that stuff,
did you?"
Her eyes met his with a look of
negation clouded by fear and bewilder-
ment Then she turned her head away.
Dragging a pillow beneath it, he let
her down again.
Good" he said in accents meant to
be enheartening; you'll be all right
in moment or two.'
Her colorleSs lips moved in q
whisper he had to bend close to dis
tinguish.
please -. :"
"Yes?"
please don't call anybody. :"
Il won't. Don't worry"
The lids quivered down over her
eyes, and her mouth was wrung with
anguish. He stared, perplexed. He
wanted to go away quickly, but
couldn't gain his own consent to do
so. She was in no condition to be
left alone, this delicate and fragile
child, defenceless and beset. A strange
girl, to find in a plight like hers, he
thought: not pretty, but quite I'M
usual; delicate, sensitive, high-strung,
bred to the finer things of life-this
last was self-eyident in the fine SIM
plicity of her severely plain attire.
a variety Of impressions crowded
upon his perceptions in little more
than a glance. For suddenly Nature
took her in hand; she twisted upon her
side, as If to escape his regard, and
covered her face, her palms muffiing
deep tearing sobs while waves of pent-
up misery racked her slender little
body.
Whitaker moved softly away.
Once, pausing by the centre-table,
he happened to look down. He saw
little heap of the hotel writing-paper,
together with envelopes, a pen, a bot
tie of ink. Three of the envelopes
We're sealed and superscribed, and two
were stamped. The unstamped letter
was addressed to the Proprietor of the
Commercial house.
OF the others, one was directed to
Mr.. G. w. Morton in care of another
person at a number on lower Sixth
Avenue, New York; and from this
Whitaker began TO understand the sim
sular manner Of his introduction to the
wrong room; there's no great differ
ence between Morton and Morten,
especially when written carelessly.
But the third letter caused his eyes
to widen considerably. 1t bore the
name of Thurlow Ladlslas, Esq, and
a Wall Street address.
| Whitakers mouth shaped still-born
whistle. He was recalling with sur
prising distinctness the fragment of
dialogue he had overheard at his club
the previous afternoon.
