Ne. York. Jan. 1O.-In a snow.
storm New York is like q great giant
.e..ered with feathers. It squirms
and wri.hes and kicks in its impot-
en: rage. Its arteries clog up. The
flow Of life is almost completely
stopped.
Traffic is at a standstill block
upon block. The wheels of big
trucks futilely spin around. churn-
ing the snow into slush and digging
their own grave deeper.
Chauffeurs dash about, cursing
the fellow stuck before them, only
to be stuck and to be cursed in turn.
Pedestrians frantically dash be-
tween the enmeshed streams Of autos
and wagons, slipping, sliding and
falling. - =.
Traffic cops, who on fair days
move traffic and prevent tangles by
the mere wave of the hand, now
stand by, leaving the movement of
machines to their drivers and to
fate.
1t is only on such occasions when
traffic is stopped that one realizes
the vast proportions of New York's
commerce. Those trucks standing in
the street represent millions of dol
lars of property. Their delay each
day represents hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars loss in missed
freight and steamer. connections,
wages and overtime paid to drivers

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
TO RUTH BURKE

Ny Dear Mrs. Burke: hope you
will pardon my writing to you and
that you will take this. letter in the
same spirit in which it is written.
assure you that ! would never
write it if / did not think you would
understand what l am going to say
better than most women know.
am really at my wits end and l can
only turn to you to help me.
Do you think that Leslie is ever
going to forgive Mr.. Prescott?
If she is not going to do SO, she
had better tell him SO Immediately
and get the break over as soon as
possible. He is at present no good
to this business, himself, nor any
thing nor anybody.
Yes, quite agree with you, /
know he is only getting what is COM
ing to him, but that does not straigh-
ten out things here at the plant. He
keeps everyone on the jump down
here with his orders one minute
which he countermands the next. He
doesn't seem able to think conse-
CuClVcly ana ne seems 10 nave lOSL
all that great constructive ability
which I have admired in him so much
in the past.
Honestly, Mrs. Burke. do not
think that Mr.. Prescott realized that
his absence at the time of Leslie's
sisters death could make any par
ticular difference to her. He is one
of those men that is always flatter-
ing himself that he never makes a
mistake about women, and he UNDER
stands them not at all.
You and I know that when man
has something disagreeable to go
through-and that was what Alice's
death meant to him-John Alden
Prescott-he simply gets through
with it with as little fuss as possible.
He doesn't want anyone outside to
help, and more than all else he does
not want any outside sympathy. His
whole desire is to get it over and off
his mind as soon as possible. He
doesn't even want to talk about it

and helpers sitting there waiting Eor
things to move.
Out Of the city's snowbound i'm
potence arises one heroic figure
the horse. =,
These clever engines devised by
man have met their equal in the
white host of tiny flakes dropped
from the sky. The horse lunges in
his traces, slips, slithers and half
falls, yet moves ahead with his load.
Then, too, a stalled auto engine
cools off and breezes, while old Dob
bin turns his rump to the wind and
lets it blow.
When l look out the window in
the gray light Of dawn and see q
horse patiently waiting, shivering,
launching himself up under his blan-
ket. while the wind whips, singing
sleet about him, ! think Of the paint
ings of Washington. Crossing the
Delaware, of the soldiers at Valley
Forge, of. q. sentinel patrolling
post-just some dim. sentimental
connection Of heroics.
And when J. see horse down on
the slippery pavement with an ignor-
ant driver Kicking, hauling and jerk
ing at hint feel aimpelled to rush
out and kick and jerk the driver.
One can get used to seeing suffer-
ing humanity Fin New York, it is SO
common here. It lis not so easy to
become accustomed to seeing dumb
brutes in torment.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
THE TOWN CLOCK

"My! My!" said Johnny Sweep.
1.-THE Fairy Queen will be upset when
she finds that we couldn't catch
Snitcher Snatch. the goblin"
But we'll keep on trying said
Nancy. "You mustn't give up yet"
SO Johnny and the Twins got. on
his broom again and went every
where hunting for the bad little COB
lin.
And at last they saw his footprints.
SO they followed him--but what do
you think.
They landed back exactly where
they started.
Because the goblin had put his
shoes on backwards just to fool peo-
pie.
In the meantime he was having
grand time.
He went along the road singing,
"A frog he would a-wooing co." until
he came to the city.
He couldn't 60 to the beauty shop
again. for they knew him.
And he couldn't 60 to the grocery
store again for the grocer knew him,
too.
And he couldn't go to the profess
sor's house, for the professor might
know him in spite of the fact that
he never had seen him.
"Such a pity to waste a whole eve
ming" sighed the bad little goblin.
And then he spied> the town clock.
He stopped stock-still and looked
ut it. Such an idea--such an elegant
idea had popped into his head!
~ know what I'll do he said
"I'll kill forty birds with one stone.
I'll make trouble for everybody. I'll
turn the town clock ahead an hour!"
And so he did.
He shinnied up the side Of the big
library building where the clock was,
and by and by he came to the roof.
Then he shinnied up the clock
tower and by and by he came to the
clock.
Then he gave a spring and landed
on the big hour hand Of the clock.
OF course goblin doesn't weigh
very much. but he weighs enough to
push an hour hand down if he sits
on it.
And the hour hand went from five
to six and stayed there.
Then Snitchcr Snatch crept down
until he got to the pavement.
He went to place where people
were waiting for street car just
to see what they would do.
First Mister Henderson looked al
his watch and then ut the clock.
"For goodness .sakc!" he cried
I'm take this watch right back ia
the jewelers. tomorrow. He charged
me five dollars to fix it. and it has
lost an hour already"
When Mister Henderson got on the
car to go home. Snitcher Snatch
caught hold of his coat tails and
hoped on too.
Then he went in and took seat.
When the conductor came in Il
collect the fares. the goblin pipcd up
"I'm under five years and don't have
to pay"
When Mister Henderson got of
Snitcher Snatch got of. too. and fol.
lowed him home.
"Why isn't dinner rsady?" thun'
dered Mister Henderson.
Mrs. Henderson threw up hel
hands. She wasn't dressed and hel
hair was still in curriers'.
"Why, you're whole hour to,
early" she cried.
"Pickled pigs fset!" cried Mister
Henderson. II must be going crazy
Snitcher Snatch siggled.
