They mixed a bit around the
ring, then Dempsey lunged for

side of the jaw with his left. The
latter dropped as though he had
been shot. He got to his knees

Dempsey, in the meantime, had
slapped around in back Of the
fallen man SO that he was hidden
to Miske's view.
When Bill got up, still dazed,
he started to put his hands up,
expecting to find Dempsey in

Dempsey shot a right from the
side to Miske's jaw, and once
more the st. Paul Warrior
dropped. This time he was fin-
ished as. far as that afternoon
was concerned. He fell right in
| his own corner.
There, cprled up like a dough
nut, he lay as Referee Dougherty
tolled off the numbers.
His handlers then climbed up
into the ring and lifted him up.
He was seated in q chair. He
opened his eyes and looked about.
Then, suddenly recalling that he
had been in an argument with
Dempsey, he felt for his teeth.
He gave them a vigorous rub
with his gloved hand. They were
intact. He smiled rather sickly
and then dropped his hand to his

Colorado sunsets are admired, ap-
pearng much reddar than the Bos-
ton variety Porters scatter warn
ing that the sun will be redder still
in Arizona, the next stop; also that
travellers had best be prepared for
hot weather. The porters are right.
During the night the heat sweeps up.
and at dawn, with the train in the
Arizona desert, it is around 80. At
4 the same afternoon it is lilo.
The scenery is striking-a vista Of
long mountain ranges, devoid Of
trees. and marked only. as is the
valley through which the train
passes, by crinkly sagebrush. A
wagon trail can be distinguished. IL
is not banked like road, but just
wanders over the sand. Two auto
mobiles are stalled there. two hun
dred miles from water. The traiu
moves slowly, but the motorists raise
no signal of distress. They are tho
only human beings observed in a
days travel. except for the scan.
populace of the watering stations.
The heat gets the better of the
gentleman from Rhode Island.
What a fool idea making civilized
men and women go through a he'll

autoists ought to be Jailed for risking
their lives. Swelter and dirt!

standing here and there. For want
of a better name and because they
have sprung into being due to the
above mentioned limitations Of the
Red Caps we shall refer to them as
Green Caps.
These Green Caps fundamentally
are messengers who are prepared to
execute commissions for persons in
too great a hurry to attend to them
themselves. They may be summed
up by calling them Georges, because
upon them has been unloaded all the
onerous tasks that we Americans II
our priceless slang have been wont
to shirk by saying:
LET George do it."

capped Georges are daily being p4t

admits him to the brotherhood. For
two hours the Porter tells Williams
jokes. He reveals that Williams
preached sermons, which have been
printed in a book.
He was the saddest," the porter
declares after a series of roaring
jokes. I'm one of them sermons he
said of the hereafter, I'm going, but
I'll be back DO you reckon that's
true?"
No one answers. 1t is too hot to
think.
The Porter-That's what Williams
said. A jackass just goes off in the
field and you s t up in the morning
to look for him and he's gone. But
| recall what Williams said to a
man that went to sleep and slept so
hard nobody near him could get
started. and Williams poked him
awake and then said: Man, slow
up. You'se sleeping so hard you'll
have your nap out befo' day." I
think that was the sayinest thing I
ever heard.
Every one has learned more about
Williams than they ever expected
by the time day breaks. 1t develops
that the porter had never actually
seen the comedian. 1--WE only been
where he's been and near where he's
BEEN" he says.
Children of the train are greatly
excited in the morning at seeing
'dobe houses standing crazilly off in
the desert, and sometimes within
stone shot of the train. 1t is near
the Navajo reservation. At Gallup,
not far from the Arizona border,
three Navajo bellies, in crepe de
chine dresses to their knees and
carrying parasols, stroll along the
platform. They are not concerned
about the heat, which is 10. The
brakeman drops off to exchange a
word, and flapper aboard the
limited is urged to attempt shifter
talk to the maidens, but refuses.
A young man comes out Of the
heat and boards with a ticket for an
upper berth. He has a blue shirt, but
is shaver, and therefore more pre-
sentable than many of the men tour
lists. He is promptly taken in by the
Man with the Scotch, who scents a
story.
The newcomer says he is through"
He means he has Cleaned nn." He
has thirty-five one thousand dollar
bills. He has change amounting to
$500. all of which he displays with
out conjunction. He asks about New
York, which he says he expects to
visit on his honeymoon. end remarks
there are gunner In New York and
he will have to put his money in a
bank when he gets there. He goes
on:

The Green Caps have been alluded
to as messengers. That is term OF
convenience. A capable Green Cap
is soothsayer, magician, mag
nificent detective, a nursemaid. n
diplomatist, a he goat. In fact, ne
is what his patrons demand him to
be or else he is a berated numb-s skull.
Consider. for example, the one VINO
was addressed by hurrying man
who relieved his mind as follows:
Hey, here's your dime, and for the
sake of all that is sacred don't faI
me. I'm supposed to meet my wife
here and take the COS to Pelham
with her. l can't make II. If l don't
get a message to her she's liable to
howl. She'll be there at the infor-
nation desk at 6. Tell her that /

Before the Green Cap could protest
the man was gone.

crowd in the immediate vicinity OF

But the irate lady was gone again.
The crowd was huge and the
young man was new on the job. He
wanted to show his worth. He
crashed his way to the Wolverine
gate and grabbed the maid.

she swung her right again and
tripped over suit case. Before they
restored her to her natural perpen-

and the employer of the faithful
guardian of the family luggage
struggled to the messengers side.
Did she explain all? Did she re-

But the Green Cap had fed. look
ing for the right Mr.. Epps.
And then there were the negotia-
tons between a mother and her son.
Something had gone wrong at homo
and the boy had run away. Now
he was no more anxious to stay away
than his mother was to lose him.
But each in their blindnesses failed
to size up the situation,
The boy paid his fee and had thr
message exchange telephone his
mother as'follows:
Am leaving for China tonight"
"If he is still near by" replied the
mother to the girl delivering the
message by telephone, tell him nos
to leave until l can see him off"
"Tell her." he countered, that she
needn't come to see me off, because
I'll come home if she'll drop that
violin foolishness.'
Tell him to come home and we
shall never have a violin in the
house."
Tell her I'll be home for dinner"
shouted the youth triumphantly.
Up to the marble counter battered
a blond young woman, who laid ten
dollar bill down and asked:
Il want to buy a ticket for a man
who is arriving on the train that
gets in at o'clock"
AT what station does the traia
arrive?"
"Why, this one, doesn't it?'
Maybe where is he coming

II don't know. He was in Denver
last week, and I just received this
telegram that says he'll be in "a

"But he must have had his ticket
when he got on the train at wherever
it was he got on"
oh isn't that too bad? And
thought I'd surprise him so. Where's
the other station? Maybe they'll
know more about 1t there"
She toddled off tremendously per-
picked. 1t would have been interest
ing to have followed her and watched
her block traffic, cause motor car
accidents and eventually board
subway train going in, the wrong
direction.
The Green Caps posted on the floor
of the waiting room and concourse
lead frenzied lives. They are asked
to hold babies, post letters, straightar
out travellers who have become in
volved in fearful snarls concerning
train connections and the differences
between daylight saving time and
Eastern standard. None Of these
things is required of them by thei:
employers, but that makes no differ

station.
