johnnie Comes Into His Own.


When Clay shot off at 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 was 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. !
wantta get out right here"
The chauffeur paid not 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 sure he had dislocated
a few hips and 1t 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
Clny'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. He
was anxious on that point himself. AT
the first cigar store hn stopped and
was put on the wire with headquar-
tiers. He learned that car supposed
to be the one wanted had been driven
into Central park by the police few
minutes earlier.
Johnnies mind carried him on a
straight line to the simplest decision.
He ran across to Fifth avenue and
climbed into a bus going uptown. At
the Seventy-second street entrance
Johnnie left the bus and plunged into
the park. The impish gods who de-

SYNOPSIS-A foreword tells this:
Motoring through Arizona a party
Of fasteners, father and daughter
and a male companion, stop to wit
ness cattle round up. The girl
leaves the car and is attacked by
a wild steer. A masterpiece of
riding on the part of one of the
cowboys saves her life. Then the
story begins: Clay Lindsay, range
rider on an Arizona ranch, an
nounces his intention to visit the
''big town." New York. On the
train Clay becomes interested in
a young woman, Kitty Mason, on
her way to New York to become
a motion-picture actress. She is
marked as a fair prey by a fellow
traveller, Jerry Durand, gang politi-
clan and ex-prize fighter. Clay
provokes a quarrel and throws Du-
rant from the train. On his first
day in New York Clay is splashed
with water by a janitor. That in

A young woman who sees the oc

lice. Clays 'rescuer" introduces
herself as Beatrice Whitford. Lind

uppercut jolted him back. He plunged
forward again. They grappled, knock
Ing over chairs as they thresned across
the room. When they went down
Clay was underneath, but as thew
struck the floor he whirled and landed
on top.
The man below fought furiously to
regain his feet. Clay's arm worked
like a piston rod with short-arm 1olts
against the battered face Gasping for
breath, Durand suddenly collapsed.
Clay got to his feet and waited for
him to rise. His enemy rolled over
and groaned.
Had enough?" demanded the west
erner.
No answer came, except the heavy.
irregular breathing Of the man on the
floor, who was clawing for air in his
lungs.
'I'll ask you once more where Kitty
Mason is. And you'll tell me unless
you want me to begin on you all over
| again."
The beaten pugilist sat up, leaning
against the wall. He felt ashamed and
disgraced by his defeat. Life for him
| had lost it's SAVIOR, for he had met his
master.
"She-got away"
"HOw?"
'They turned her loose, to duck the
bulls" came the slow, sullen answer.
"Where?"
"In Central park"
Probably this was the truth, Clay
reflected. He could take the mans
word or not as he pleased. There was
no way to disprove 1t now.
He recovered his revolver, threw the
automatic out Of the window and
walked to the door.
"Joe's tied up in back room," he
said over his shoulder.
Thirty seconds later Clay stepped
into the street. He walked across to
subway station and took an uptown
train.
Men looked at him curiously. His
face was bruised and bleeding, his
clothes disheveled, his hat torn. Clay
grinned and thought Of the old answer
"They'd ought to see the other
man."
One young fellow, apparently a col.
lege boy, who had looked upon the
wine when it was red, was moved to
come over and offer coincidence.
"Say, I don't want to butt in or any
thing, but--he didn't do thing to you,

"That door must have had several

litely.
"Surest thing you know. Say, was

fumbled for a card. Didn't catch

Clay had no intention Of giving his

an old range ditty.

dominating purpose to make that

minutes he knew that, barring a
chance blow, some foul play, or bit
of bad luck, he would win. He was
covering up, letting the pugilist wear
himself cat, and taking only the pun
ishment he must. But he was getting
home some heavy body blows that
were playing the mischief with Jerry's
wind.
The New Yorker, putting like a sea

 Parents Notified.
 Where the parents are able to af- ford dental services they are advised to send their children to private dentist but where they cannot afford treatment, the children are taken care of by Dr. protass at the dental clinic headquarters in the Booth block. While it is impossible at this time to tell what the result of the examina- tions will be, it is understood that there are few children in schools whose teeth are not in need of atten- ton.
 Most of the children in the Chil- dren's Home have been treated since the opening of the clinic.

 Such course should be given in the proposed new Normal school and by the prominent physical hygenists of the country.
