CHAPTER XIII
johnnie Comes Into His Own.

johnnie Comes Into His OWn
When Clay shot off at a tangent
from the car and ceased to function as
a passenger, Johnnie made an effort
to descend and join his friend, but al
ready the taxi vas travelling at a
speed that made this dangerous. He
leaned out of the open door and shout
ed to the driver.
"Say, femme out. doggone you. 1
wantta get out right here"
The chauffeur paid lot the least at
tention to him. He skidded round a
corner, grazing the curb, and put his
foot on the acceleratOr. The car
jumped forward, sweeping down the
wet street, now and again skidding
dangerously. 1t swung into Fourth
avenue, slowing to take the curve. AT
the widest sweep of the arc johnnie
stepped down. His feet slid from I'M
der him and he rolled to the curb
across the wet asphalt. Slowly he got
up and tested himself for broken
bones. He was ure he had dislocated
a few hips and it took him some time
to persuade himself he was all right,
except for some bruises.
But Johnnie, free, had no idea what
to do. He was as helpless as Johnnie
imprisoned in the flying cab. OF what
Clay's plan had been he had not the
remotest idea. Yet he could not go
home and do nothing. He must keep
searching. But where? One thing
stuck in his mind. His friend had
mentioned that he would like to get
a chance to call the police to find out
whether Kitty had been rescued. DE
was anxious on that point himself. AT
the first cigar store he stopped ana
was put on the wire with heaGquar-
tiers. He learned that a car supposed
to be the one wanted had been driven
into Central park by the police a rev
minutes earlier.

II should worry. This is little old

answered.
That's what yore boss Durand
thought. What has 1t brought him
but trouble? Lemme give you some
thing to chew on. New York's the big
gest city of the biggest, freest country
on Gods green footstoOl. You little
rats pull wires and think you

gink. You run 1t about as much as
that fly on the wheel of yore taxi
drives the engine. Durand's the whole
works by his way Of 1t, but when some
one calls his bluff see where he gets
off"
"He amt through with you yet"
growled "Slim" Jim, sulkily.
"Mebbe not, but you-you're through
with Annie" Clay caught him by the
shoulder and swung him round. His
eyes bored chilly into the other man.
Don't you forget to remember not to
forget that. Let her alone. Don't go
near her or play any tricks to hurt
her. Lay off for good. If you don't
well, you'll pay heavy. I'll be on the
job personal to collect"
Clay swung away and strobe down
the street, light-heeled and 1.-THE, the
sap of vital youth in every ripping
muscle.
"Slim' Jim watched him, snarling
hatred. If ever he got a good chance
at him it would be curtains for the
guy from Arizona, he swore savagely.

Carbon DiOxide
for Gas Victim

In Bellevue and other hospitals a
number Of experiments have been car
ried on In the administration Of car
bon dioxide to patients who have been
long under ether during operations.
The use Of carbon dioxide with great
care In such cases Is said to speed up
breathing. so that the patients quickly
clear the ether from their systems and
suffer less than the usual Ill effects
from 1t.
The average case Of gas poisoning Is
not the best kind on which to show
the beneficial effect of the inhalator,
according to Doctor Henderson. be-
cause of the fact that such cases have
usually been under asphyxiation for
many hours. During this time, lack
Of oxygen in the body often produces
degenerative changes in the nerve and
other body cells. The mere removal
of the carbon monoxide and the restor-
alton of the patients breathing ap-
paratus cannot repair the damage al
ready done throughout the system of
the patient.
The great benefit claimed for the
use of the carbon dioxide process Is
in the early treatment of acute cases

The function of the carbon dioxide
is to stimulate breathing, which be-

and the faster the oxygen enters the
lungs the more rapidly the blood Is
cleared of the carbon monoxide.
