HAVANA CAFE KEEPERS
SCARE Off LOUNCE:RS

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. ga. P.)-
High rents are successfully supple
menting the futile attempts of the law
TO eliminate the more undesirable fea-
lures of that ancient Lain institution
the corner cafe loafer. Taking their
cue from the high efficiency ciga'
stores and quick lunch counters of the
United States, several Havana cafe
owners, who are paying top prices for
choice locations, have rid themselves
of the drones who crown their estab-
lishments and drive away clients.
They have removed the convenient
tables and chairs enlarged their bars
and counters where coffee and other
refreshments are served, and adopted
other methods to assure quick ser
vice and speedy profits. The group of
domino players who spent about 81
cents a day and occupied the best
table, has been forced to move. The
political orator soon tires if he cannot
sit down occasionally. The whole tribe
of loiterers finds it hard to pass a
few hours in a safe where the bar IS
swahbed continually with wet cloth,
to the detrimcnt of carelessly placed
elbows, and white shoes suffer from
constantly moving mop
While the practice has improved
the reform has pleased the weaker
sales and increased profits, nobody
yet has endeayored to learn whether
sex. T 1t is a common bclicf that the
first stime a Cuban matron runs the
gauntlet in front of any one of the
popular down town cafes without ex-

"Who made it7"
"Don't know. Some fellow came
running down here an hour or so ago
and said there'd been a tremendous

Falrchlld went on, to turn into de-
serted street,-a street where the
doors of the stores had been left open
and the owners gone. Everywhere II
was the same It was as II Ohadi sud
denly had been struck by some catas-
trophe which had wiped out the whole
population. Only now and then hu-
man being appeared, few persons
left behind at the banks, but that was
about all. Then from far away, up
the street leading from Kentucky gulch,
came the sound OF cheering and shout
ing. Soon a crowd appeared, led by
gesticulatlng, voclferous men. who
veered suddenly into the ohadl bank
at the corner, leaving the multitude
without for moment, only to return
their hands full of gold certificates
which they stuck into their hats
punched through their buttonholes

them to hang half out, and ever

He reached for his carbide lamp,
hooked to small chink OF the hang
ing wall, and then pulled his hat over
his bulging forehead. Carefully he
attempted to smooth his straying mus
tache, and falling, as always, gave up
the job.
'I'd be 'appy, just to look at IT," he
announced. "Come on. Let's forget
90 they are and Just be lookers-on."
Fairchild agreed against his will.
Out of the shaft they went and on up
the hill to where the townspeople
again were gathering about the open

going in. Falrchild and AIRY Joined

And without looking back to see
the result of his ultlmatum, Fairchild
rose, strode to the door, unlocked 1t,
and stamped down the hall. He had
taken snap judgment, but in his heart,
he felt that he was right. What was
more, he was as sure as he was sure
of life itself that Anita Richmond
had not arranged the Interview and
did not even know of 1t. One streak
ing name was fitting through Fair

what the future might hold for them

had said that the Blue Poppy mine
was a good property and that II was
worth every cent of the value which
had been placed on 1t. How did he
know? And why?
Suppose that 1t had been Anita

this? 1t was logical in way. Maurice
