Then Gale sat transfixed with sus-

THE GAMBLER
(Bv Berton Bra,eul

(By Berton Braley)
The boys who play the ponies,
The lads who buck the wheel,
The men who rig the market
In railroads, mines or steel,
May seem like reckless gamblers
And yet their ways are tame
Compared to all the chances of
The Farmers daring game,
He CANDLES with the sunshine,
He bets upon the rain,
He shoves his stack across the board
With all to lose or gain;
Agaginst hail, frost and tempest
He coolFy lays his odds,
While from daylight to the dark
He plows and tills the clods.
He bets his time and labor,
His everlasting toll,
Against the locust and the worm
That makes his crops their spoil;
Each year he risks his fortune,
His strength and thought as well,
Upon a shifting market
Which no man may fortell!
Through all his life he piunges!
A gambler unafraid,
His bets with nature and with man
Upon the board are laid;
Upon the very wheel of fate
His wages bold are hurled
The greatest gambler of them all
Who feeds hungry world!

Ladd's strange hate of the horse
showed in the passion Of his last
words, in his hardening jaw and grim
set lips.
Gales hand went swiftly to the
rangers shoulder.
"Laddy. Don't kill Diablo unless
it's to save your life"
"AIl right. But by Cd. If 1 get

MOVE ON UNLICENSED
JITNEYS BY STATE BOARD

TRENTON, Oct. 10.-Following
the resumption of service sometime
ago on the lines of the Public Serv-
ice Railway Company, the State
Public Utility Commission is taking
steps to prevent the operation of all
unlicensed 1itneys on the streets of
the state. When the ceas-
ed operating, the board let down the
bars to jitneys, allowing anyone who
wished to operate a bus. This was
done to relieve the transportation
situation. When the trolley con-
Germ resumed service the board sent
a notice to all jitney men stating
that those not licensed to operate
were required to cease running.
The board has a large force of
inspectors working upon the jitney
situation checking them to see if they
have licenses to operate.
While no exact information is
available, it is thought that the I'M
licensed jitney operators are quitting
rapidly.
In the City of Newark, the board
said, there are practically no I'M
authorized jitney men operating ve-
hicles. No estimate of the number
still operating in Jersey City, If there
are any, was available at the office
of the utility commission at the
State House here.
A number of hearings are sched-
uled under the general subject of
jitneys." Whether there
are n unlicensed jitneys among
the large number of defendants list
ed, who commenced operations as a
result of the Public Service strike is
not known.
All the jitney hearings so far list
ed will take place at Newark. Jit-
neurs of Jersey City will appear be-
fore the board on October %, to de-
themselves against the allega-
ton that they are not licensed.
Those of Hoboken will be heard on
October Is and IS: Weehawken on
October 10. and Paterson and Pas
October IL.
The complainant against the Jer-
sey City jitney drivers was said to
be the Public Service Railway Com
pany. }
