Fu]_l 3/8 PP Thickness New Improved Edge Phone 6745 218 It was only a few hundred yards to where the automobile was standâ€" ing, but the wind, which was inâ€" creasing, threw the snow into our faces in stinging blasts that made walking difficult and conversation practically impossible. I would just as soon have gone alone, but there seemed no way of declining his assistance, so we trailed out in the snow together with an oil lantéarn flickering. unsteadily in the wind. _ The lights of the car were still bravely burning wedges of illuminaâ€" tion into the blackâ€"andâ€"white night. ‘"Let me go with you," Jim Cooper offered. "I think we‘ve done all we can toâ€" night," I suggested to Colonel Stewâ€" art. "That fellow is going to have a hard time travelling very far in this storm and probably he‘ll lay low somewhere until it lets up. The sherâ€" iff can organize a big posse and pick him up after daylight." The colonel agreed. He was anâ€" xious to get his men under cover. We took our prisoner ‘back to the Home. There we found the lady Greeks sitting around disconsolate with their wraps on amid a group of negligee but wideâ€"awake old soldiers having the time of their lives over the extra attraction of a thiefâ€"hunt. "I‘ll go out and start the car," I notified them, "and back up to the gate once more. When you hear me outside you can come out." There were no handcuffs in the inâ€" stitution, naturally, so we bound our prisoner to a chair pending the arrival of the sheriff. He looked disâ€" consolate enough. I was suddenly sorry for him. Poor fellow, all he had done was to make a break for liberty. It was only because we were all against him that he was against us. "Hard luck, old chap," I said to him. He looked up at me. "It‘s all right,‘ he said.. "I dont mind a bit. I‘m glad to stay in here overnight, where it‘s warm. I‘m kind of worried about Julius, though, out there in the snow. I wish you‘d got him, too. He‘s delicate and I‘m afraid he‘ll catch cold." "Well, I‘m going home," 1 said by way of farewell. ‘"But before I go is there anything I can do for you?" "Not unless youre going to tell me what you are wearing those white things for. Did somebody steal yourâ€"" _ e t 5 "No, they didn‘t," I snapped, turnâ€" ing away. "Ain‘t you going to tell me ?" “NO.” I rejoined the rest of our group around the fire. A complete circle of the field gave us no clue. The snow was. falling more rapidly now and even our own tracks were filled in very soon after we made them. I was anxious to get started, too, while the roads were not badly drifted. We had only one lantern or we could have searched to better advanâ€" tage and by spreading out might have picked up the footprints without much delay. _ As it was we worked slowly and ineffectually. We changed our minds, however, when the tracks led out of the comâ€" parative quiet of the timberâ€"land to a meadow. Here they ceased abruptâ€" ly. There was enough wind blowing so that the snow was kept clear in some places and drifted in others. He had evidently avoided the drifts. He had broken away from the road and gone into a patch of woods that lay alongside, as we could easily tell by his fresh tracks in the snow. It seemed as if it was going to be a figmpara‘cively simple matter to trail im. We told the Colonel what had hapâ€" pened and he sent one of the old men back to the Home with the ladies with instructions to telephone the sheriff. _ The rest of us went after the other escaped prisoner.. $ The sound of the shot had aroused curiosity at the Old Soldiers‘ Home, and now half a dozen of the most nearly complete of the inmates led by Colonel ‘Stewart came down the road in military order. They were armed with rifles and had bayonets fixed. I learned afterwards that the weapons were Spanishâ€"American War trophies which were not loaded and had not been fired for sixteen years. "Are you a ghost?" “NO-” "Then what are you?" "I only agreed to answer one quesâ€" tion." llOI,l!” He was obviously disappointed. . "What are you going to do with suppose." Riding away from the scene of the illâ€"fated play in their costumes and overcoats, the group of players is held up by two escaped convicts, one of whom is captured by Bilbeck after a struggle.

The rest of us tried to talk about something else so as not to appear to be listening, but we couldn‘t help it, and a sudden silence fell at her next remark. _ When I had explained what had happened a cerv of dismay escaped the lips of Mxs.

"For one thing I am glad that it wasn‘t my car. For another it will give us all a chance to spend the night in an Old Soldiers‘ Home, which is something most people who aren‘t veterans can‘t do." "Is that you, John ?" she asked in the telephone. Apparently it was. "Well, listen, John dear, I can‘t get home toâ€"night. «I‘m going to stay all night at the Old Soldiers‘ Home." «©¥Yes. of course, Tom Bilbeck is here.

"Silly; of course I‘d come home if 1I)_{:ould. But Tom broke his automoâ€" ile.". _ "It‘s all for the best. Tom.

"Cut her off!" I yelled. When Grandmother Page had subâ€" sided Jim Cooper asked solicitously: "What‘s the matter ?" "Didn‘t you hear the racket she was making ?" I asked sarcastically. __ _ I noticed® that it pulled rather hard, but I bent an extra effort and yanked it over compression. He did as I directed. I primed the motor . thoroughly. I had no parâ€" ticular reason to suppose that the engine would start now when it had refused to do so half an hour before, except that from long experience I had great faith in the perversity of inanimate subjects, especially inâ€" ternalâ€"combustion engines. _ Grandâ€" mother Page had thrown me down in an emergency, but now that the imâ€" mediate danger was over I had no doubt that she would start up cheerâ€" fully. There is something unmistakâ€" ably feminine about a gasolineâ€"engine. "All ready," I said as I gave the crank a sharp pull upward. "Bang!" responded Grandmother Page enthusiastically. The seats were covered with snow. So was the windshield; around each wheel was a little heap. "You can get inside if you will," I told Cooper, "and advance the spark as soon as I get an explosion."

"Evening, Sheriff," the colonel greeted. ‘"No, no. He didn‘t break it on purpose." There was absolute silence in the room, also on the part of Mrs. Hemâ€" mingway. _ wisl $ s Aloud "Whoa!" outside distracted our attention from the conversational tangle into which we had fallen. I hate to be a kicker, I always long for peace, But the wheel that does the squeaking is the one that gets the grease. It‘s nice to be a peaceful soul and not hard to please. But the dog that‘s always scratching is the one that has the fleas. "I hate to be a kicker" means nothing in a show For the kickers in the choruis are the ones that get the dough. The art of soft soap spreading is a thing that palls and stales. But the guy that wields the hammeéer is the guy who drives the nails. Let us not put any notions that are harmful in your head, But the baby that keeps yelling is the baby that gets fed! "Listen, dear, you mustn‘t say such things over the telephone. Some one might be listening. Besides, you are entirely mistaken. How could I fall in love with a man who looks like Tom Bilbeck ?" "«Yes, he has got & funny face. Of course I laugh at him and all that, butâ€" What‘s that? You‘re coming here? Oh! Is there a train yet comâ€" ing this way? Good! That will be lots of fun. Then we can go home together in the morning. 1 am so glad. Goodâ€"by, dear!" Something in my face must have shown, however, because Mrs. Hemâ€" mingway looked at me and exclaimed in dismay: "Did you hear what I said, Tom?" "Well, part of it," I admitted. "©You mustn‘t think I meant it." She tried hastily to repair the harm she had done. Mrs. Hemmingway hung up the reâ€" ceiver and turned back to our franticâ€" ally silent company.
