Third ward and then to lock
himself i'll the presidents room of the
First National for an hour, at the end
of which time he sent for Davis.

he added apologetically, "You know we
expect the bank inspector to surprise
US day after tomorrow"
"Wire him to put it off ten days" or
dered Sledge.
Il suppose you'll fix us up with a
temporary acknowledgment of some
sort and be ready to turn over some
securities in that time"
"Any way you say" agreed Sledge
indifferently, and fell again to such
deep musing that he did. not hear
Davis elaborate explanation Of how
the thing would be managed.
Presently Davis, who carried q peni-
tertiary sentence to bed with him ev-
cry night in case anything happened to
Sledge before morning, brought him
some papers to sign, and the felony
was committed-simply, neatly and

That Boy

You've got to have faith in that boy
And to show him the faith that you feel;
That you know beneath all his alloy
Is the metal that's honest and real.
You've got to let him trust in you
AS you trust in him day by lay:
You've got to have faith in that boy
If you want hin to go the right way.
You hear them cry out now and then
That their boy won't amount to a thing.
And he won't-in this wide world of men
You've got to give faith the right ring;
You've got to make him feel that you
Feel firmly and truly his worth;
That you know lie will put things right
through:
That he showed the right will at his
birth.
You can't trust a boy to do right.
If you don't let him see that you trust:
You can't be to him like a light
If you hide all your faith in the dust.
He needs such a faith as will shine.
AS will show and make plain DER his
path
That he'll win: that he's starting out fine;
That he'll triumph Ger evil and wrath.

corrugated like a dashboard, took
Sledge's check and gave him a receipt
for it: then the boss went to see Boz
Fan.
"You sold those franchises yet?" he
demanded.

going to. Look here, Sledge, why not
be reasonable about this thing? Fifty
thousand is all we can get. Why not
take it. give us u fifth and let us get
away. We're disappointed, but we're
not saying anything"

told Bendix you had a right to sell it
and was going to. Why didn't you"

How could he? What has he done:'

Marley surprised BoZZam.
Il had expected that he calmly an

ooh, nothing" answered BoZzam,
With Il wondering glance at Timbers.
Hell just put you out of the business,
that's ALL"
81 don't see how insisted Marley,
his voice now pompous again. You
must remember, Mr.. Bozzam, that I am
now in absolute control of the Ring
City Street Railway company and can
use to the advantage of the company
and of myself, for the first time in my
career, my training and ability in man
agement. I fancy that l can protect
myself, even against strenuous compe-
| tition."
"Goodby, old friend" said Bozzam, in
his tremolo. you may not know what
has happened to you, but l do, and I'll
send you a bunch Of lilies in the morn
ing"
He turned from the telephone in
numb amaZement.
He actually doesn't know he's hurt
he puzzled. Hes been president on
his W vote just long enough to get
enlargement of the coco. How's the
quarrel:'
"Fierce!" grinncd Timbers, turning
from the peephole. ''Sledge has just
looked at his watch, and any minute
now l expect to see Moodson move a
toe"
They're wonders, both of Them" en-
joyed Bozzam. I'm still admiring
how many Of us second rate ycggs
Sledge nailed to the wall with this one
pin-N1oodson and you and me, fancy
Bert, and Marley and about a million
poor lollops of stockholders"
"That stock would make good cigu-
rette lighters" agreed Timbers. IF
Moodson hurries, though, he can sell
the shares he put in elders name"
"But he can hold the bag for the $780,
900 he loaned Marley. l don't know
how Sledge will do it, but he'll make
that stock worth nothing a share and
put q curse on whoever holds it"
Hush" warned Timbers. II think
Sledge is reaching for a cigar. No; it's
only his watch. That's twice."
Bozzam crowded him away from the
peephole.

the figures. The two votes Of Marley
and Bert Glider had been sufficient to
carry the amendment against the other
200 stockholders.
I'VE will now vote on the original
motion as amended" observed Marley.
1.-THE motion earliest" Marley was
pleased to state, after the dazed stock
holders had shouted mol" to their
names. Gentlemen, it is useless for us
to waste time except for the matter of
formal record over such matters as
this. Heretofore 1 have been helpless,
but today, for the first time in the his
tory OF this company, l control the ma
jority of the stock, and my vote is suf-
ficient to carry or defeat any question.
To begin with, l refuse to be held up.
I am willing to pay $4,000, for the
franchises are worth $4,000 to us, but
I won't pay a cent more That's fiat"
Bozzam took the chair next to Sledge.
1T looks like We're up against it," he
stated. 81 guess fifty thousands the
best We can do"
"Hunh!" gruntcd Sledge.
"Mr. President" said Bozzam, rising
to his feet, "since the matter seems to
be entirely in your hands, allow me to
ask if that is your ultimatum?"
ut is" announced Marley, glancing
at him with only the faint suspicion of
a twinkle in his eye.
"Then l must beg time to confer
again with my PRINCIPALS"
Again the trace of a twinkle escaped
Marley's eyes.
'There is a time limit on my ultima
tum," he returned. "You stated that
you were empowered to act. I'll give
you five minutes to make up your mind.
After that my offer is withdrawn"
Mr.. Bozzam quite obviously strug-
gled with his pride.
IT accept" said he, turning both his
palms upward.
A cheer, loud and prolonged, greeted
that humiliating capitulation. In the
midst Of it the huge Sledge arose, his
mere bulk a symbol of disaster.
"Nix!" he Numbered, and departed.

Both Phil and Blondy wore sincerely
mournful faces when Sledge walked
through to the back room the next day.
"He's game. all right" commented
Phil.

Sledge's chin sank Il little lower on
his collar. He had never permitted
the shadow of defeat to touch even the
hem of his coat, but now its dimncss
seemed very close to him. and in that
shade there was a chill.
-Adolph brought in Il letter. Il square

out Of place on the edge of a beer tray.
Bendix took it, sent .Adolph out with
a jerk of his thumb and started to

moment Of reflection he passed it ST.

Slcdge opened it mechanically and
drew out a neatly engraved card, which
read as follows:

engagement
Of his daughter,

Sledge Slipped that announcement
calmly in his pocket and turned slow

ever his idea concerning hat may
have been he changed it, for, his eyes
slowly distending. he reached out and
grabbed the pitcher, and suddenly there

Woodrow Wilson was a young lawyer
in Atlanta, with an office now occupi-

Office boy as the most precise man in
the world and man uncommonly
neat in his personal appearance.

in the moving picture business in AL
lance, Ohio, is in Atlanta again, and
he says the old Office at the corner ol
Broad and Marietta streets looks ex.
actly the same as it did when he ant
the future president of the United

Another thing Mr.. Harris noticed
about Mr.. Wilson was that every tim,
he got flush he would close his of
fee at noon on Saturday and catch

COPELAND IS FREED
ON MURDER CHARGE

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. John
Copeland, Catholic and member Of
the knights of Columbus, was acquit-
ted by jury here today of the mur-
der of William Black, an anti-Catholic
lecturer, who was killed at Marshall,
Tex, during February, 1915. Great
interest centered in the trial of Cope
land, because of sensational allega-
tions set up by interested parties that
the death of Black had been decreed
by the Knights of Columbus, Catho-
lie secret organization, because of his
anti-Romanist activities. The jury
before which the case was tried was
composed of ten Protestants and two
Jews, and able counsel represented
both sides during the hearing. Two
others indicted in connection with the
murder along with Copeland, have not
yet been tried
