Ford Sedan UP Against Tree-Two
Couples Walk Four Miles.

A Ford Sedan Of New Hampshire
registration, No. l59S9, was noted oy
early travellers down the Barnard road
Saturday morning with its radiator up
against tree on the bank near Eu-
gene l.. Ernery's, in somewhat dis-
abled condition. The fact that two
young people Of each sex walked into
the c. V. r. station before J o'clock
that morning and bought tickets for
Lebanon, N. IT,, probably solves the
problem of the cars occupants. The
distance which the entire party prob
ably walked il about four miles.

The smile she gave him was warm
and friendly. "Oh, that's all right. If
you'd care to look around But
there really is no USE"
mo-" The forehead under the red
thatch wrinkled in thought. HE said
he seen him come in here or next door,
an he came up the steps. But nobody
could have got in without some OF

nclinations into the park. He struck
across the Drive into side street An
apartment house occupied the corner,
but from the other side row Of hand
some private dwellings faced him.
The janitor of the apartment house
was watering the parking beyond the
sidewalk. The edge Of the stream
from the nozzle Of the hose sprayed
the path in front of Clay. He hest
tated for a moment to give the man
time to turn aside the hose.
But the janitor on this particular
morning had been fed up with trouble.
One Of the tenants had complained of
him to the agent Of the place. Another
had moved away without tipping him
for an hours help in packing he had
given her. Ee was sulkily of the opin-
ion that the whole world was In a
conspiracy to annoy him. Just now the
approaching rube typified the world.
A little f1irt Of the hose deluged
Cay's newly shined boots and the low
err six inches of his trousers.
'Look out what you're doingi" pro-
tested the man from Arizona.

going" retOrted the one from Sweden.

CHAPTER Il-Continued.

Clay stopped in front Of Kitty and
said he hoped she would have NO
trouble making her transfer in the
city. The girl was no fool. She had
sensed the antagonism that had flared
up between them in that moment when
they had faced each other five minutes
before.

'He got off"
But the train hasn't stopped"

INJURED, half to herself. "Why would

pot?"
bruise on the westerner's cheek did
not tend to allay them. They were
still unsatisfied when the porter took
her to the end Of the car to brush
her clothes.
The discretion Of that young man
had it's limits. While he brushed the
girl he told her rapidly what he had
seen In the vestibule.
"Was he hurty' she asked breath
1sesly.
"No'm. I looked out and seen him

O blue streak. He's a sho-'nough bad
actor, that Jerry Durand."
Kitty marched straight to her sec
tion. The eyes of the girl flashed
anger.

Clay.
The Arizonan rose at once. He knew
that she knew. 81 was intendin' tt
help you off with yore grips" he said
Sh@ canned into passionate resent
ment of his interference. "I'll attend
to them. / can look out for myself

With that she turned her back on
him.

His bark is much worse than his
bite" the girl explained to Clay, just
as though her father were not present.
"Hmp!" exploded the mining mag
nate second time "Get busy, young
fellow"
Clay told the story Of the fifty-1ve7
dollar suit that I Bernstein had
wished on him with near-tears of re-
greet at parting from it. The cow
puncher dramatiZed the situation with
some native talent for mimicry. His
arms gestured like the lifted wings OF
a startled cockerel. "a man gets q
chance at a garment like that only
once in while occasionally. Which
you can take it from me that when L.

un'erstan' me-"
Colin Whitford was of the West HIM
self. He had lived it's rough-and-tumble
life for years before he made his
lucky strike in the Bird Cage. He had
moved from Colorado to New York;
only ten years before. The sound OF
Clay's drawing voice was like mes
sage from, home. Bs began to grin
In spite of himself. This man was too
good to be true. 1t wasn't possible
that anybody could come to the BID
town and import into 1t so naively
such a genuine touch of the outdoor
West. 1t was not possible, but 1t had
happened just the same. Long before
the cow puncher had finished his storH
Of hog-tying the Swede to a hitchinS
post with his own hose, the mining
man was sealed of the large tribe Of
Clay Lindsay's admirers. He was
ready to hide him frem all the police
in New York.
Whitford told Stevens to bring in
the fifty-five-dollar suit so that ha
could gloat over 1t. He let out whoop
Of delight at sight Of its still sodden
appearance. He examined its sickly
hue with chuckles Of mirth.
Guaranteed not to fade or shrink"
murmured Clay sadly:
He managed to get the coat on with
difficulty. The sleeves reached just be-
low the elbows.
"YOu look like a lifer from Sing
Sing" pronounced Whitford joyously.
Get a haircut, and you won't have
chance on earth to fool the police"
''The color did run and fade some"
admitted Clay.
"Worth every cent Of nine ninety
eight at a bargain sale before the
Swede got busy with it-and he let
you have it at a sacrifice for fifty-6Va
dollars!" The millionaire wept happy
tears as climax of his rapture. He
swallowed his cigar smoke and had to
be pounded on the back by his daugh-
ter.
Jenkins came to the door and an
nounced "Mr. Bromfield."
Almost On his heels young man in.
Immaculate riding clothes sauntered
into the room. He had the assured
ease Of one who has the run Of the
house. Miss Whitford introduced the
two young men and Bromfield looked
the westerner over with a suave in-
science in his dark, handsome eyes.
Clay recognized him immediately
He had shaken hands once before with
this well-satisfied young man, and on
that occasion a flfty-dollar bill had

my shoes and trousers are sopping
wet. 1 believe you did it on purpose"
"Tank so? Val, yust one teng I lax
to tell you. got no time for d-n fule
talk"
The westerner started on his way.
There was no use having a row with q
sulky janitor.
But the Swede misunderstood his
purpose. At Clay's first step forward
he jerked round the nozzle and let the
ge-rider have it with full force.
Clay was swept back to the wall by
the heavy pressure Of water that
played over him. The stream moved
swiftly up and down him from head
to foot till it had drenched every inch
Of the perfect fifty-fve-dollar suit. He
drowned fathoms deep in a water
spout. He was swept over Niagara
Falls. He came to life again to find
himself the choking center of q world
flood.
He gave strangied whoop and
charged straight at the man behind the
hose. The two clinched. While they
struggled, the writing hose slapped
back and forth between them like an
agitated snake. Clay had one ad-
vantage. He was wet through anyhow.
It did not matter how much of the
deluge struck him. The janitor fought
t0 dy,y hA
on earth to succeed.
For one hundred and seventy-five
pounds of Arizona bone and muscle,
toughened by years of hard work in
sun and wind, had clamped itself up
on him. The nozzle twisted toward the
janitor. He ducked, went down, and
was instantly submerged. When he
tried to rise, the stream beat him back.
He struggled halfway up, slipped, got
again to his feet, and came down sit
ting with hard bump when his legs
skated from under him.
A smothered "Vat tell !" rose out of
the waters. The janitor could not un-
derstand what was happening to him.
He did not know that he was being
treated to a new form of the water
cure.
Before his dull brain had functioned
to action an iron grip had him by the
back of the neck. He was jerked to
his feet and propelled forward to the
curb. Every inch Of the way the heavy
stream from the nozzle broke on mis-
face and neck. It paralyzed his re-
sistance, Jared him so that he could
not gather himself to fight Clay
bumped him up against a hitching
post, garroted him, and swung the
hose around the post in such way
as to encircle the feet Of the man.
The cowpuncher drew the hose
tight, slipped the nozzle through the
iron ring, and caught the mapping arms
Of the man to his body. With the deft
skill Of trained roper Clay swung the
rubber pipe round the body Of the man
again and again, drawing it close TO
the post and knotting it securely be-
hind The swsde struggled, but his

CHAPTER III
The Bio Town.

When Clay stepped from the station
at the Thirty-fourth Street entrance
New York burst upon him with what
seemed almost threat. He could hear
the roar of 1t like river rushing down
a canyon. Clay had faced a cattle
stampede. He had ridden out a biz
gard hunched up with the drifting

August Earnings Tuesday.

The Bureau of Railway Economics
will announce on Tuesday the final re-
port covering earnings of class / rail-
roads for August, with comparative fig-
ures for the same month last year. Ac-
cording to the best information available.
the aggregate net railway income will
show about $53,000,000. as compared
with $90.241.103 earned in August last
year. If the estimates prove. accurate
the final figure will be surprisingly good
in contrast with early predictions of
operating officials, who based their
opinion as to losses on the heavy ex-
penses for deferred maintenance work
and the outlay made necessary because
of the shopmen's strike.

per cent. for Baltimore. last weeks total
being $SS.146,S52. against $61.4S6,S6S in

all cities showed gain over the corre-
spending week of last year.

Thursdays Coal Loadings.

For the first time in several days
there was an increase Thursday in load
ings ofgboth anthracite and bituminous
coal by the railroads Of the country.
Figures of the car service division of
the American Railway Association
showed total Of 1884 cars loaded with
bituminous9a a gain of 30S over the pre-
ceding day, while the increase in an
thracite was 2O7, Thursdays total being
6,046 cars. Until Thursday the carriers
had been showing a day to day loss
either in bituminous or anthracite load
ings with no gains for both grades oc-
curing on any one day.

Moon Motors Dividend.

Recent strength in Moon Motor shares
has been accompanied by reports that
in the near future its annual dividend
rate OF 81 will be increased or an extra
disbursement made. September earnings
are understood to have been approxi-
mately S400, 900, or at the annual rate
of 81. 500, 900. Current earnings after
deductions for taxes and preferred divi-
denas are running at an annual rate oil
about 50 n share on the 1929 shares
of common stock. Net profits for the
entire year 1922, it is expected. will be
in the neighborhood of IS share on
the common.
The New York herald., 1922-10-08
Gain by soft Coal Roads.

That the recovery from the effects OF
the coal and shop strikes was more rapid
in the case of the carriers whose chief
traffic is soft coal was indicated in the
report of the Western Maryland for Au-
gust, showing net operating income OF
s256,94s. compared with s257,51s for the
same month last year. Gross for August
amounted to s1.650.37S, against $780,
74S in 1921. The fact that the resump-
ton of bituminous production antedated
that of anthracite is regarded as the
real explanation for the comparatively
better showing of the soft coalers.
