1t is a matter of record that the large mail boxes for the reception of newspapers and mail packages placed on the several street corners of the city. have been taken for re- ceptacles for trash, and that the trash boxes likewise located, have been taken for mail boxes, but new one was sprung last night when one of the mail boxes aforesaid was taken for folding bed.
 1t was early in the evening when man of good appearance who had evidently been imbibing freely of white mule' was seen on the cor ner of Twentieth street and Third avenue endeavoring to manipulate large mail box into a couch for his nights repose. He had might has not been returned to the govern ment through amortization plan made in the original proposal.
 The offer of MT. Ford is going to be put in the form of a contract and sent to Congress"
 Government Leases
 It was explained that MT. Ford's re- fusal to accept the modification pro- posed for reduction of the 100-year term probably would give Congress an added task in connection with it's consideration of the offer. Existing laws regulating lease of properties possessed by the federal government, it was explained limit the period of maximum lease to less than century, and Congress probably would have to change the statutes in the event it decided to accept the Ford proposal.
 MT Ford, however. was said to have expressed an unwillingness to agree to a shorter time on the ground that the financial investment he would make would involve greater amount of money than he was prepared to spend under any time period less than 100 years. Several members of both the House and Senate made no effort tonight when informed that the con- tract would be submitted to them to disguise their fears that both Houses of Congress would be divided on the question when it reached the stage of consideration on the floor. While the contract will be urged for ac- ceptance by many members from the south whose constituencies are known to favor the Ford proposal, it was anticipated that no small number from other sections of the country would oppose its acceptance.

opened the door into the hall Just
as two men carrying Tim stopped

a grim line to keep from screaming
at the pain.
'Oh, what is it?" she gasped then
"Ma--oh, Ma! Tins hurt"

CHAPTER XXXVu.
Tim Meets With an Accident.

Gertie went to bed delighted that
the affair had turned out as it had,
Yet she shivered with dread several
times before she slept. Why should
she have so many unpleasant things
happen to her? Lilly never did, and
LILY wouldn't have minded half so
much II there had. That rumpus at
the table. and now this. She Won
dercd idly what would happen next;
her mother always said things ran
in threes.
I'm awful glad for myself, and
for Ma" she murmured. While the
mother tossed on her pillow and
multered: My heart gould have
broke II they'd arrested her--my
girl"
1t Is n mistake to think that pow
erty means Callousness. Had one
looked the world over no more de-
voted daughter, no more loving
mother would one have found. Even
ignorance doesn't prevent the love
that Is the greatest thing In the
world. And this uneducated moth
er worshipped her daughter, her
pretty lass whose beauty always had
made her afraid for her.
Gertie slept all the day long. when
Sne went INTO the dressing room at
Fagin's fresh, rested. lovely, she
looked anX!ously about for signs Of
the proprietor. He might have
heard OF the fracas, might be angry.
But everything went as usual, and
Murphy took her to the subway.
Lilly had called at Fagins SO she
would not let him go all the way
home with her,
You sure have caught fish this
time, Gertie, a big one. He's In love
with you. Wont turn him down like
you did O'Connor, Will you? II you

that second marriages are more like

begun in the full blaze OF expert

He knows a little about what women
take badly. and he avoids il.
George Is further quoted as saving
that people seldom mind their own
business: "0ne Of the ways in which
