Clifford who is now getting out a
Negro News reel on the order OF

some OF these pictures in his first

He was greatly disappointed for
the most part only pictures OF the
Negro labor and stevedore units

stated that it was a terrible iujus-

OF his race of the famous 18th In

when the weary Herbert dared to in
terrupt.
Please, Mr.. Randolph, the officer
on the beat says the grass is lifting
your cab, sir, and he thought he
ought to report anything like that"
Tell him to undo the check and let
it feed itself down again." growled Mr..
Randolph.
The day passed; night fell. Now

voices Of science which even In the

the wonders of the submarine, the
flight Of man, and wireless telegraphy

corner or some other convenient base
of supplies and returned to set new
money to catch old. But Mr.. RAN
dolph had no occasion to do this. His
heap cf chips and cash of the realm
rested on too solid base Of its own.
There may be recorded an amusing
diversion from the serious business in
hand. 1t was ushered In by the crest
fallen Herbert, who confessed that ac-
tual physical exhaustion had driven
him to forty winks, during which time

the gigantic sum registered on Mr..
Randolph's taximeter, had promptly
stolen the preposterous clock, and was
now on the club steps offering to set

gent on a fifty-fifty basis.
Great was the CONSERVATION of the

was confronted by two persons in one

loaded to the gills with arguments as
to how much the fare would save
through the sudden exit OF the clock
from the ken Of man, tripped hopeless
ly on this vision of wrath In the shape
of driver in whose interests the tick
er had been faithfully shaving.
1t took Mr.. Randolph just thirty-two
precious minutes to force the crest
fallen one to replace and readjust the
busy bee of meter readings, When he
returned to the fray upstairs, he no
ticed a strange phenomenon of poker
age, unmistakable age, had settled on
the faces Of the five youths. He put
his fingers to his own countenance; he
could feel the added years.
The game ended, as do all titanic
battles, in absolute silence. MFR. RAN
dolph sorted, stacked, tabulated his
winnings, and stuffed them into all the
pockets on his person. He then noted
the hour-eleven o'clock of a bright
Thursday morning-and. proceeding to
the nearest telephone booth, called up
Mr.. William Verries of Verries & Cat,
stock brokers.

Mrs. Mielke. who owns two homes.
She was willing to get married and to

precious pair to some bosky retreat,
cover them with leaves, and hold them
for ransom, but such was not the case
He desired nothing from these two
potentates among race of lucre
giants beyond what might come to him
through his ever-open speaking slot.
This is all he heard:
"Lewisfader Is getting kind of
fresh"
That's what been thlnkin'."
"When?"
What about Friday, when the Bun

Good idea! Friday 1t is."'.
Not another word, but, as 1t hap
pened, 1t was enough to start Mr.. Ran
dolph honking uptown the moment he
had dropped his laconic fares at their
next board meeting. No one had to
tell him who Lewisfader was; he had
been to college with that financier's
son, and If there was one thing above
all others that said offspring was good
at, it was blowing his fathers horn.
IeWisfader was this and Lewisfader
was that, but principally and especial
ly he was the central rock in the money
maelstrom known TO the stock market
as ANAL. I. S. & c." which had only
lately dared to swell its portentous
belly in the company of the most de-
,Yeloped and vicious saurians of the
financial world. -
All the way uptown, Mr.. Randolph's
face was concentrated in the nearest
approach to frown of which 1t was
capable. He was not, however weigh
ing the substance of what he had heard
this way and that, for the simple rea-
son that the moment the one word,
'Lewisfader," had reached his ears, he
had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought of look
ing back. That part Of it was settled |;
what worried him now was the amount
of ways and means in his pocket. BY
thinking very hard, he added up his
capita! without bringing it forth to the
light Of day. The exact sum was six
ty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
No sooner had he passed the test In
mental arithmetic than he drew up a
little beyond the front door of the Rock
ct club. He started TO leave his cab,
paused, considered. and then deliber-
ately lowered the flag. AS he entered
the lobby of the club, four scandalized
fronts leaped to bar his way. They
asked him variety of biting ques-
tons: Did he think II was a night
lunchwagon? Which chambermaid
was he calling on? Was he looking for
Mills hotel?

The functionary named, head door
man for the Rocket club since first 1t
started on Its appropriately meteoric
career, leaped from his dignified seat
on the somnolent side lines and stared
wide. eyed at the servile apparitlon
that had dared shout the open sesame
to that inviolate portal.

and the stunned fronts started to stink
away.
