READ THE STORY. THEN COLOR THE pfcTuREl

Said Scouty, Anybody knows that
that's a home for Eskimos. L guess
we must be way up north cause
that's where they reside. What 1
would really like to know, is are they
friend, or are they foe. L wish that
we could reach that house so we
could peek inside.
Then Clowny said, "I'H tell you
what-Ill show you all what nerve
I've got. I'll sneak ahead and look
around. The rest of you can stay.
This seems, ! guess, the only source.
may run into harm, of course, and,
If you hear me shouting, come a-run-
ming right away
The rest all yelled, "Hurrah for
your And Clowny bid them all adieu,
and started creeping through the
snow to reach the frozen house. AZ
times he almost thought he'd freeze.
Twas cold upon his hands and knees,
but on he went, real slow, but sure,
as quiet as a mouse.
The others crouched down out of

sight and hoped that he'd come out
all right. They knew that he was
reckless and they feared what fate
might bring. But, then they all heard
Scouty say, ooh, shucks, he'll surely
set away if anything starts chasing.
He can run like everything"
And, in the meantime Clowny
reached the house just as wee voice
screeched. Now, what was that, he
asked himself. 1t seemed real close
at hand. He then crept forward one
yard more and peeked inside the lit
tie door, and what he saw sure made
him know this was a funny land.
Before he had a chance to jump,
an arm reached out, and with
thump, big fingers seemto pick him
up and pull him back through space.
He tried to yell with all his might,
but he was much too filled with
fright. The hand that grabbed him
quickly pulled him right inside the
place.

Memories of the Herdics.

Death of a highly respected citizen
of Washington, Samuel G. Eberly, re-
wives memory of mode Of transpor-
tation popular more than forty years
ago, the herdic cab. This vehicle was
the device Of Peter Herdic, who be.
came a national figure half a century
ago, when he introduced his system
Of urban transit, small cab seating
four persons, with entrance from the
rear. These cabs had been installed
in Northern cities when Mr.. Eberly
became acquainted with the promoter
and they decided to introduce them in
Washington. They first appeared here
in 1882 and became popular.
1t must be remembered that there
were no motor cars in those days.
The automobile was only dream OF
a few pioneers. The usual means OF
transport in the cities was the old
hack" and occasionally the hanson
cab, the two-wheeled contrivance with
the driver seated behind and above the
passengers. Herdics became popular
at once. They were not especially
speedy, but they were comfortable and
safe and were cheaper than the hacks
and victorias that piled the streets
Omnibuses had been installed here
long before, two-horse vehicles plying
on regular routes. An amplif1catioi
Of the herdic cab came in vogue tc
supplant these early 'carryalls" and
ran on schedule through the streets
The main linA was from a point II

cepted is not known. It was estab-
lished, however, and it may withstand
the rivalry Of this newly discovered
version. The BOLD Britons" version
has somewhat the better Of the case,
for it is the more likely. 1t has the
dramatic element which somehow is
lacking in the longer and more argu-
mentary form. It was certainly like
Nelson to set the pace and ask his
men to follow him.
However this may be, here are two
accounts of something that ought to
be definite and not mooted. Did the
sailor on the Defence make a mistake
in his reading Of the signal? Or did
the official logkeeper, in the confusion
following the battle and the sorrow
caused by the death of the commander.
set down a more rhetorical phrasing
of the famous battle cry? This dis
covery may precipitate a further re-
search,

Park, along East Capitol street
through the Capitol grounds, up Penn
sylvania avenue and up Fifteenth
street to the Boundary" These
"herdics" were drawn by two horses
There were no conductors, and pas.
sengers deposited their fares in cash
boxes controlled by the drivers.
With the coming of the motor car
the herdic cabs passed. though not
Immediately. Taxicabs eventually re.
placed them, and II has been many a
year since one of the old herdics has
been seen on these streets. They rem
dered good service in their day, carry
ing many thousands Of people in the
course Of the years. 1t was quite
the thing" in herdic days to take
one of them for theater party in
the evening, but arrangements for Sc
curing were not made as readily as
nowadays. for the telephone was not
as extensive and cabs could not be
summoned with the facility of present
service.
1t is we'll to recall these earlier
times and the means of transport to
cause an appreciation of present
day facilities. 1t is due to the
memory Of Mr.. Eberly, whose passing
is deeply regretted by his fellow citi
zens. to pay tribute to his enterprise
which gave Washington a convenience
that was highly appreciated in its
time as valuable public service.
