sledee Reduces His Salary List.
LEDGE walked back through
- the Occident in such mood
4 that the regular members Of
the Good morning, Ben" bri-
gade fell away from him like bar flies
from a cake Of ice. Even Doc Turner,
waiting the daily advent of the boss,
met with the rebuff of stony silence
and sat down in his favorite newspa-
per corner. with his cruSted brown der
by jammed down TO his ears and his
inch long stub of cigar puckered tight
~ in at the corner of his wrinkled
lips, where it looked at distance like
a speck of black rot in dusty potato.
Doc had digested. condensed and pur-
veyed news TO the big chief so long
that he felt proprietorship in that de-
partment and was justly offended
when Tom Bendix came in a few min
rtes later

snarled Beadix. Il don't sleep with

He's teething," replied Bendix, pro-
ducing the desired two bits, without
which Schooner Kelly would be a nui-
sance for hours 10 come.
A low bTowed thug, with long and
wide scar sunk in one cheek, drew
Bendix mysteriously aside.
THE Dutchman down in the Eighth
ward has rented his back room to the

"Wel?" inquired Bendix.

Bendix slipped him an ace from 4

Thanks" said the thug. Say,
what's the matter with Sledge?"
None OF your business snapped
Bendix, with wondering glance at
the back room, and he waded through
the usual morning lineup with that
wonder growing on him. The actions
and bearing of SIedge varied by SO
thin hairs breadth from day to day
that a notable variation meant some
thing.
He found Sledge standing up, and
then he knew that there was some
thing in the wind.
