 times on the mouth she pushed him away and cried distractedly. You mustn't. You mustn't. You don't know what you're. doing!
 There, there." he said later. his lips pressed against her hair, T knew it would be all right once you let yourself go." She lifted her body slightly in his arms. 'Teli me you love me, dear est"
 Then when he told her. she asked Then you'll do anything I ask won't you? Promise? ?" Even as her arms frightened about his neck. he felt tightening at his heart. And the latter was not a pleas ant tightening. What did she mean? :? He loved her. God, how he loved her dark loveliness, but-what was she driving at?
 II cant promise till you tell what you want me to do." She resumed. You know I wouldn't ask you to do anything that wasn't for your own good, yet you won't promise the first promise I ever asked you to make"
 He shook his head. 'I can't" "All right, I'll have to tell you then, Billy. I've heard things-about your

 At which he tried to kiss away her fears, but these were too deep-rooted for any such old fashioned remedy as that to be of any avail
 No, no. don't" she protested, holding his head away by main force Not now. I'm not through yet Listen. You'll fight the gang, know you will" ...
 He nodded slow head. i've got to. That's why I took the job of sheriff.
 T knew it. she said sadly. "But you can resign, can't you?"
 'Listen to me-" he said in voice that trembled. You don't know what I'd be dog, and I won't be a dog even for your sake. Marry me now and we'll see it through, you and together.
 She shook her head. II can't" she whispered and added with most human logic, T don't believe you love me.'
 At which he was moved to wrath. Its you that don't love me. You listen here! I've asked you for the last time to marry me. You turned me down for some fool notion that isn't worth a hill of beans. All right. let it go at that. If ever you change your mind, you'll have to come to me and put your arms around my neck and tell me I was right to stick it out and you were wrong to want me not to. And if you don't do it, you're not the girl I took you for, and I wouldn't look at you with tele- scope."
 She sat speechless. Without an- other word he stopped, swept his hat from the floor and went out. And it must hessaid to his discredit, he slammed the door behind him.
 A long five minutes Hazel was star ing wide-eyed at the door. But he did not come hack. She crept to the window. He did not look back. He passed out of sight around the bend Hazel slid quietly to the floor and, her face buried in her hands, be- gan to cry as if her heart would break.

HOW CAR THIEVES
 OPERATE AT NIGHT
Most Autos Are Stolen After
 7::S0 O'Clock.

Chicago. H.. March l5.-Two- thirds of the automobiles stolen here are taken between 7:3o and midnight and by far the greatest number at 10 o'clock while their owners are at t1heaters and other places Of amuse- ment. according to the committee on motor car thefts of the Chicago Crime Commission. Three hundred and twenty-three persons were tried here in connection with motor car thefts between January 1 and August 15. 1921.
 How Thieves Work.
 Other observations of the commit tee follow:
 A thief has been known to walk into large public garage at night and cover the watchmalN and other employees with a gun while he drove away with the car of his choice. The thief usually prefers to hold up a man about to put his automobile in a gar age, rather than to break into gar age after the car is locked up.
 By far the greater number of stolen automobiles were taken not because of the intrinsic value, but to be used in various forms of law breaking. Thieves Are Young.
 The large percentage of thefts seem to be committed by men or boys un der the age Of twenty-five years. "The careless and indifferent mot orist is responsible for the loss of many cars,' says the committee
New Britain herald., 1922-03-15

Many hundreds of passenger ears are left standing at the curb, in al- leys, in yards and other unguarded plares throughout Chicago every night, Many are not protected by any locking device or lights, Many valuable cars are left standing along boulcyarls and other streets with en- zines running while their owners are elsewhere"
 for these reasons the committee expects good results from action of insurance companies reducing rates in motor car thcfts and requiring the owner to accept 25 per cent of the loss on stolen cars.

 where motor cars may be left under

 He dropped on one knee betweer mules barrel six inches behind the girls leg and pulled the trigger. Over and over rolled the mule, and over and over a short foot in advance 0, his kicking hoofs rolled Hazel. Luck, fly she was not stunned and she rolled clear. She scrambled to her feet and set off up the trial as fast as her shaking legs would carry her Damn her!" cursed Jack Murray notching up his back sight. 'Id oughta drop her. She's askin' for it. the hussy."
 His itching finger trembled on the trigger, but he did not pull.
 Billy Wingo pulled up at sight oi the wild apparition that was Haze Walton. But the check was momen- tary. He clapped home the spurs and hustled his horse into a gallop He and Hazel came together liter ally 40 yards below the crest. The girl seized his stirrup to save herself from falling and burst into hysterica1 tears.
 "Lordy. it's the girl that dropped the package!" exclaimed, Billy dis mounting in haste.
 He had his arm round her waist in time to prevent her falling to the ground. She hung Imply against him. and gasped and choked and sobbed away her varied emotions.
 The explanation was brief but be- fore it was finished Jack Murray had become a rapidly vanishing speck on the horizon. He was sure that his health demanded a long vacation in the south.

SPROULE SAYS
RAILROADS need
BILLION A YEAR

The following letter has been received
by c. w. Runge, district agent of the
Southern Pacific, from President Will
liam Sproule, relative to the reported
reduction in freight rates ordered by
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
81 have no knowledge of the decision
of the I. c. c. ordering reductions of
freight rates except as stated in the
newspapers. The scope and effect of
the decision cannot be guessed and con-
sequcntly | cannot give any opinion on
it except to say that unless these re
ductions add greatly to the volume Of
freight traffic carried by the railroads,
they simply increase difficulties of the
roads without helping business in any
substantial manner.
~ have faith in the Interstate Com
| merce Commission and the Z. S. Rail
road Labor Board and believe they have
such knowledge of the essential things
| to be done that in the exercise of their
responsible functions they will reach
| such an equation between operating
revenues and expenses that will leave
the railroads enough net to warrant the
people in putting their savings once
more into railroad securities.
"Railroads need one billion dollars
a year to bring them mp to the needs OF
this growing nation and keep them to
the task of serving the people properly

that it will pick up as much of the EN-
ergv as possible. 1t should be from
100 to 500 feet long, and may be made
of No. II solid copper wire or of II
strands of No. % hard drawn copper
wire. In the long span it is desirable
to use stranded phosphor bronze wire or
No. Il copperweld wire which has a
steel core. There is very little advant-
age in using several parallel wires in
receiving antenna except where a
long single wire cannot be used. Where
parallel wires must be used, they should
be placed about 8 feet apart. The an,
tenna should be supported in as high
a position as possible. High trees or
buildings near receiving antenna in
the direction of the station which it is
desired to receive, will absorb much of
the energy from that direction. 1t is
therefore important to get the antenna
high enough that nearby objects will
not affect it. 1t should not run parallel
to electric light wires, else it is apt to
pick up annoying noises from those cir
cults.
The antenna should be insulated from
its supports at each. end by approved
insulators, such as glazed porcelain

terminate at the clip. This switch and
the large insulated ground wire, as
well as certain other regulations, are
required by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters. Any special regulations
of the local district office should be i'm
plicitly followed to prevent the fire

heavy galvanized rod of pipe driven
into moist earth for 6 feet, or it may
be connected to a clamp fastened onto
the street side of the water supply
pipes. The ground wire should run in
as direct a line as possible from the
switch to the ground connection, and
sharp turns should be avoided. All
permanent connections should be care
fully soldered to prevent bad contacts
due to corrosion. The lead in through
