said, bracing comfortably on the top
step now.
You're that, eh?" questioned the
passenger,
We'll, when you get to Crescent
use my contribution for a genuinely
square meal" and the speaker hand
ed Dan a half dollar.
Strike wood I'm blind or dream
ingw cried Dan, and he jOyOusly
tapped the welcome coin against the
car door. Say, I'm in rare luck!'
The young man smiled and went
into the coach. His charitable act
pleased him. He was, in fact, filled
with pleasant thoughts. We'll might
that be, for inside his breast pocket
was a long, fat wallet, 1t contained
$1,000, the savings of two years,
which would enable him to go to
Crescent, marry Mary Lane, the girl
of his choice, enjoy rational we'd
ding trip and have enough left over
to furnish neat little fiat.
So he dreamed fond visions of bliss
reclining in the car seat, and Dan,
outside, extracted the last atom of
warmth and flavor from the dimin-
ishing cigaret stump and closely
clasped the half dollar, glOating over
an anticipated, satisfying bill of fare
in the near future.
Dan loIled over the entire platform
now There would probably be no
more interruptions and no stops I'M
til Crescent was reached. He dozed
and must have BEEN on the verge of !
dreams for fully two hours when
there came a shock. Dan just |
grabbed the brake rod in time to |
evade a tOpple over.
What is it?" he grUmbled. ''This |
isn't Crescent. l don't like thatp' he |
added, swinging sideways, clinging
with one hand and peering ahead.

He made out at least six men armed
with revOlvers lining or aboard Of the

the locomotive; two had boarded the
express car; two others were coming
down the tracks.

Dan glanced about to find a hiding
place. None offered, for there was
no brush along the sides of the track,
which were sloping and confined, the
track in a sort of cut, open only
ahead, where there was a crossing.

"Temperamental" Males

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Had the recent scrap between Con-
gressmen Helm and Norton been between
two women Representatives would it have
been dismissed as lightly? Would not all
the press of our country (the suffrage states
excepted) have INDUCED in glazing head
lines: "Congresswomen Have Fist to Fist
Fight on the Floor Of the House" etc. Sure
" Hefin and Norton were almost militant"
were they not? And yet the dear ants say
women are too emotional to vote" and "too
temperamental TO become citizens" Will
Helm and Norton be disfranchised because
they lost their self-control? Women seem to
be preserving a calm attitude these hectic
times, and are making good in all industrial,
commercial, educational and patriotic lines
a wee band of fanatics at Washington ex-
cepted. Let US reward them with enfran-
chisement on November 6. TAXPAYER.

Occasional Service

AS candidate for Attorney General, the
only state officer to be elected this year,
the Democrats have nominated Devoe p.
Hodson, of Buffalo, who is known to the
state at large only by the fact that he
served a term as member of the upstate
Public Service Commission. Prior to that
time his official career was purely local
he was a municipal court judge in Buffalo
for five or six years. So far as his claim
to support is addressed to the voters of
the state outside his home community, it
must be based on his record as Public
Service Commissioner.
Mr.. Hodson took Office on February 8,
1918, going to Albany and having himself
sworn in in such haste that he actually
displaced Mr.. Olmsted, whom he succeeded
while that official was in executive session
of the commission on certain matters
wherein his verdict was considered of
great value, since he had devoted especial
study to these cases. Having thus placed
himself on the payroll, Mr.. Hodson's ardor
