INSTALLMENT [ ARNEY'S gaze followed the progress, just visible through a kink in the blind, of a dining car attendant with a noisy bell. “Food for reflection’s all very well in its way,” he concluded, “but it's no use to an empty stomach! How does the notion of a square meal strike you?" Dighton grinned. “Uncommonly well. I haven't had a bite since lunch.” They passed out into the corridor and embarked on a swaying, uncomfortable journey following upon the heels of a thin line of fellow travelers, similarly bound. ¥ Mute understanding between Marney and the chief dining car atiendant pro- | cured for them a corner table, to which drifted the wool buyer from Yorkshire and one of Marney’s vamps, bound for the Italian Riviera. The lady in question proved to be a dazzling blonde, though whether by nature or choice Dighton was not quite decided. By way of passing the time, and in want of something better upon which to lavish her charms. she had attached herself quite early in the jour- ney to the broad-spoken Mr. Blythe. That the attachment was of purely a temporary nature was evident from the restless movement of her eyes and her quite open attempts to interest the two men opposite. A gentle pressure of her foot on Marney's shoe produced a protest that was as unexpected as it was blunt. “Baby,” drawled the American, “I'm an old-timer—and I suffer from corns! You can try the friend on my right if you like. He may not have corns, but_he’s no fool!” ‘The woman to whom this remark was addressed was by no peans dis- concerted. “Did I touch you?” she inguired in all innocence. “Really I had no idea. These tables are so small, you know.” She spoke in English, with a pro- nounced accent that was not without its charm. “So you are an Ametican, m'sieur?” “You've said it!" returned Marney and relapsed into silence. Balked in her first attack on a ma:a who, judged by his gold teeth if by nothing else, appeared to be a_person of substance, Mlle. Rollin fell back upon her first hope. Picking up the little half-bottles of wine one by one she screwed up her lips at the labels* “You do not want to drink this cheap | stuff, eh, cheri?” he shrugged his shoulders, | “What d'you want me to buy?— champagne?” “Why certainly. Why not?” ‘There being no answer to this riddle, the Yorkshireman hailed the wine steward. “What about you, sir?” he shot at Marney. ““Cognac’s my liquor,” came the re- sponse, “and I never touch bubbly.” The other turned to Dighton. “Mine’s Pommard, thanks all the same. Mlle. Rollin concentrated a two-gun battery of singularly effective eyes upon her immediate vis-a-vis. “Don’t you like champagne, either? You do not know what is good for you, m'sieur. Pommard for lunch perhaps, but in the evening——" She broke off to signify her approval of the brand the attendant was recom- mending. Without doubt there wi mute understanding here, too! ‘The express made a brief halt at & station—the only stop before Dijon Marney consulted his watch—a large un metal chronometer secured by a leather guard that looked suspiciously like a converted bootlace. “‘She’s on time,” he said to Dighton. ;'Don't suppose they'll take many on here.” The other, rather to avoid watching the effect of Mile. Rollin and cham- pagne combined upon the susceptibic Yorkshireman than for any other rea- son, was staring at the vista which began at the backs of these two and extended to the far end of the com- partment. A double row of small table: each with its separate shaded lamp; bearded Frenchmen with an abundance of protruding shirt ¢uff, blond, self- conscious Englishmen, a noticeable ma- jority of women of the same race, a German or two and a modest sprinkling | of Italians. He had located Mlle. Rol- lin’'s companion—plumper and a trifle shorter in height—attaching herself limpet-like to one of these latter. The object of her attentions was plying one of the toothpicks supplied in little transparent paper envelopes in a man- ner that suggested that the encounter with this bird of passage had not thrilled him. Nor had he sprung a bot- tle of champagne. Marney had his things moved into Dighton’s compartment after dinner. Birds of a feather are supposed tc flock together,” he reminded the younger man When the transfer of baggage had been completed, “but folks in our line of business don't often get the chance. In a general manner of speaking far from flocking together they avoid one another like the plague. it behooves us, therefore, to make the most of an opportunity such as this. | No use offering you a cigar, I suppose?" “No,” said Dighton. “I'm as strict 2bout my smokes &s you are about drinks.” And they left it at that. | They tossed for berths, and Digh- ton lost, Marney choosing the lower bunk. “You've got to keep your eyes skin- ned for women of Mile. Roliin’s type,” he said as they undressed. “They meet too many people, end you never know whom they've met last. Collar- studs, by the way, are problems in this sort of traveling, I usually stow mine in a trousers pocket.” He had a queer way of uttering his thoughts as they came to him, with- out the least attempt at relevancy. “I don't know what sort of figure Blythe cuts in the wool trade,” he pursued, “but it doesn't take a sleuth to reveal that he’s an almighty fool where women are concerned. ~Sympathy's wrong line with girls of the Rollin persuasion. They don't want it and they don’t deserve it. The Cohtinentals know how to deal with them far better than ourselves. Take that Italian guy. The way he handled his_girl made Blythe look like a baby. Blythe'll be showing her family portraits by the morning and telling her all about his mother in Bradford! You see my point, don't you, Dighton?” The other nodded.

It was stiil dark when he awoke. The expfess was in a station—he read Aix-les-Bains on a lamp. In spite of the heated compartmen, he realized that it was colder outside, considerably colder than it had been in Paris, At the next waking-point—St. Jean de Maurienne—piled heaps of snow showed in ghostly whiteness against the darkness. He saw it on the roofs of coaches as they slipped | past the window. He. dozed off to the notes of a sous- chief's trumpet signaling them out— and the next thing he knew was a frozen mountain that made the bed- clothes feel like paper and a polite Italian performing his customary duties | at_the frontier station. = It was quite light now and they were two hours late. “Your passport, signore?” He dived his hand in a pocket and produced the required document. The official thanked him and passed |on. Customs officers followed, asking | questions and_flourishing little pieccs of colored chalk. The door had barely closed when it slid open again to admit a stout French commissaire, with bristling mustaches and an aggressive stare. Somehow Dighton suspected that his visit had to do with the tragedy in the rue des Acacias. y He asked for his passport again and examined it from cover to cover. “You have come straight from Eng- land, m’sieur?” “Oui, m’sieur. Dighton knew what he was looking for—the stamp of the port of disem- barkation—the purple impression that showed when he had landed at Havre. “You did not stop in Paris?” “Non, m'sieur.” The other closed the passport and observed Dighton for tome moments, with his hands clasped behind him. “You are traveling for business or for pleasure?” : “Oh, pleasure,” returned Dighton and smiled. “Bien, m'sieur!” . The document was in his hand again and the door had closed behind the visitor. “Phew!” murmured Marney from the lower berth. “That was a harrow shave, young feller! If you'l waited till tomorrow it'd have been all up. It was the date that saved you there!” Dighton was glad when the wait was over, when they were equipped with electric locomotives fore and aft and speeding up the curved in line toward Mont Cenis. It was not until they were through the tunnel that he breathed again. The shabby snow- roofed French buildings had given place to gayly distempered houses, with square fronts and painted frescoes. Beyond the natural barrier of the mountains even the landscape had altered. Little soldiers in gray-green capes came Into view, peasants drably picturesque and middle-class _me wrapped in their cloaks like medieval conspirators. 4 HP,p read Bardonecohia in big letters of dull red.

September 21.—A gun fight in the Turkish Cafe on North Clark street early yesterday ended with John Pecora, a patron, dead, and two policemen, Allen Carroll and John Fogarty, wounded. Pecora, his wife and a man, whose name was not learned, and Miss Rose Lando composed the party, which police were called to quiet. The cafe manage- ment summoned police after efforts of waiters to quiet the men had failed. ‘When Officers Carroll and Fogarty approached Pecora and his companion drew pistols and opened fire, witnesses said. The officers, wounded, returned the fire, dropping Pecora, mortally woupded. Pecora’s companion fled. TRe two women were held for ques- tioning. The policemen were taken to a hospital, wheré their injuries were said to be not serious. T FRENCH AIR MINISTRY TANGLED BY NEW REGIME Latest Head of Aviation Finds Op- position From War and Navy Departments. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 21.—The newly constituted French air ministry got off to a rather bad start on its first ap- | pearance in the cabinet yesterday. Both MM. Painleve and Leygues, the ministers of war and the navy, respec- tively, insisted on hanging on to con- trol of their aviation departments, whereupon M. Eynac, the new minister of aviation, said that he couldn’t see much for him to do without these two important branches. There will be further efforts to smooth over the administrative wrinkles, but officials admitted that this appeared difficult. HOLD YOUTH IN THEFT. Larceny in Harpers Ferry Club Causes Former Employe’s Arrest. ‘The theft of $125 from a room in the Blue Ridge Club at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., early last Sunday morning led to the arrest of Samuel Brooks, «olored, 16 years old, 1304 Ninth street, a for- mer employe. e When first arrested, Brooks denied that he knew anything of the robbery, but later told Detective Dennis Culli- nane that he selected Saturday night as the time members would be there for the week end, assuring him of a good haul. . He took the midnight train from here, watched until the lights had been extinguished and then entered through the unlocked back door.

T the meeting of the town that afternoon the article to put music back into the school had just been read off by the mod- erator. The small town's voters who were collected there were restless, and seemingly disinterested in the music question, but Jack Stone, a young. awkward man just inside the voting age, knew what he_wanted, because he was very fond of Betty Trumpet, who was the music teacher, and he ailso loved music. Article- 22: To see if the town will vote to authorize the superintendent of the school to re-employ a music teacher and raise the sum of $1,000 for that purpose— Nothing was said. Miss Trumpet was a month or two under the voting age, and had to sit silently in the gallery. If no one supported the article she would lose the position she had looked The job be- voted. Cross lights from a late after- noon sun shone in through the six windows. The entire room was a m notony of grimy walls and smoky ceil- ing. Tick, tick, tick, said the old clock in the hush. Ages seemed to be passing for Betty. . The sleepy moderator shifted his grip on his hammer, and the town clerk twisted his mustache while he splattered ink with the stiff end of his pen. “There is a motion before the house.” the moderator cried. The town meeting presumably was a self-governing body; but as a matter of fact it was ruled by a handful of men. At this meeting was one of these “old bosses,” an old self-centered con- tractor who was opposed to the article on music. This big-stomached, red- headed giant of a contractor, Bill Wig- gins coveted every cent that the town spent. Outside of the meeting he had argued that to put $1,000 into music for the coming year was all foolish- ness as the town could use it in light- ing and improvement funds. He de- clared that the school needed some construction work and that $1,000 a year would put it in good shape. At this critical point he pulled his massive frame from his seat and pronounced with much sourness, “I move, Mr. Moderator, that this article be dis- missed.” Wiggins was good for just about that much thinking on his feet. He would have been almost helpless if he had had to add any more of his lazy sentences to the first. Betty gasped. She sat unsupported in the gallery. She half arose from her seat and looked down upon the main floor into the voting crowd where young Stone sat. “If I only had some one to speak for me!” Despairingly she sank down in her chair, as she saw no one who would or could make the nec- essary speech for her before the ar- ticle would be dismissed. Suddenly Rufus Werton, stiting be- Tldel Jack, poked him in the ribs teas- ingly. “Don't let Wiggins get away with his old stuff. He has been bossin’ things too much,” Rufus whispered. “Youre a pretty good talker a crowd.” Everybody stirred. Even Rufus was surprised. Jack himself didn't know how in the world he had got up there, towering over the crowd and Bill Wig- gins. He tired himself with the effort to stand straight. . But since he was seemingly dragged to his feet by an un- seen force he must and would sav something. And he did. ‘When he started to speak his voice didn’t sound like him. It was strong and bold. “What's that?" some one cried. Why, it already sounded to him as if he were speaking loud enough to wake the rocks. He now almost shouted. He was getting warm. He wasn't sure of the progress he was mak- ing, but he knew he was making some kind, because he was holding the'crowd spellbound. Inspiration feil upon him and controlled him. He shouted as if he had his and Miss Trumpet’s encmics by the throat. “I want music in this town, and you want music. Why don't you s0? Are you afraid to say so? People, at the suggestion of Mr. Wiggins—oh, Mr. Wiggins!—we have just voted to put in_some new lights in the school build- ing and on the school ground. Of course, Mr. Wiggins is the contractor. But there is still much darkness in our small city of Arthon that the contractor wants to prevail. The darkness of the mind is the great thing we are up against in this town today. It is to help dispel this darkness that I say a {ew n:lfirds u’r:;l“ of g‘“lch It l’s'hould awfully, wi ly and jusf ut back into the school.” Y v ‘The red-headed contractor sat wheez- ing in his seat.

Schumann- Heink, or Caruso, in this town, whether we put singing back into this school or not. I don't doubt he was right. But that argument of his is selfish and mis- leading! This town may never pro- duce any billionaires like Henry Ford. However, how silly it would be for us to quit trying to do business because the laws of chance are against any of our citizens becoming billionaires,” he stormed. There was an_angry silence broken in a moment by Jack, who looked wildly at Wiggins and declared: “Music, whether it be vocal or in- strumental, has a wonderful power over human beings. We all enjoy and are influenced by it for the good of our- selves. Therefore, let us make the best investment yet and vote for music and a thousand dollars to carry it on this year.

He didn't know what to do. He rose slowly, but apparently not to speak, because he ed his way out the rear door, which was near. “Well,” snickered the surprised mod- erator at the retreating enemy of musjc. ‘The motion for the dismissal of the article was Jost, and a moment later 2 motion that music be put back into the school was carried by the raising of many motre hands than were needed m.'vok: l|'. back. ack looked up to the gallery and saw Betty smiling at him.

Her whole being was radiant. With an intoxicating fling of her fin- gers she threw him down a kiss in full sight of everybody. ‘That evening in a lane near the river at sunset he encountered Betty. ‘I'm afraid I didn’t make myself popular with the contractor,” he jested. “But, Jack, you made yourself popu- lar with me,” Betty exclaimed sud- denly, and her eyes shone. “You are really a great speaker. I didn’t think of asking you because I—I—I—" “Neither did I know I could,” he blushed. ‘The End. (Copyright, 1928.) REPORTS THEFT ON CAR. Michael J.
