STA attendants who deplored the fact the guests would have to stand. “I should like to give you all seats,” he said, “but th’ empty ones is all full.” , WASHINGTON, D.

About an hour later he returned. On getting back into the machine, however, he smelled a slight odor of burning cloth. Sniffing, he traced it to the back seat. Sure enough, there was a large burned spot—probably caused by a cigarette flipped from some passing car. e HE EYVENING 5 T lo :tuur seat was on fire 8¢ I put it|of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. | fore the statue, however, is left to your i The guard will tell you this was OWn training and conscience, * % k% required as early as six months after = ® ETIQUETTE SIDELIGHT. the Memorial was opened, because too NATIONAL park service rule pro- | little respect was shown for the Eman- hibits any persons from appear-| cipator in the pictures being taken. ing in snapshots with the statue CASH!

Alerm clocks suf- fice sometimes, alarm clocks placed in tin pans awake the heavier sleepers, and there is one Washington man who has to be awakened each morning by his wife, who has learned the quickest way to get him up is to put a cigarette in his mouth and light it.

Afterward they threw him | inside the threshold, since he was not able to walk, and over that prone | body the rest of the condemned stume bled. | Once inside, each man made for a bunk in a desperate scramble. These | bunks rose in tiers of five deep, with ‘ narrow aisles between them. The | switest or the strongest took the low- | est bunks, not because they were sim- ply easier to reach, but because dur- | ing the night the foul stench of hu-| manity kept rising in the air. | But many who lagged too far be-| hind in the general rush got no place whatever for the night. And most of | those who failed were the men who | had been in the valley so long that | the labor, the climate, the frightful | food had worn them to a frail shell. | They would die soon. i What the friar could see made him | drop to his knees. He was still praying when a bull- | toned voice bellowed through zh!‘ room: “Who says that a friar is here? Who says that a big man, a giant, a priest or a friar is here with us?” | The friar leaped from his prayer to| his feet. “Mateo!” he cried. He heard a grunting answer and then the thumping of heavy footfalls. Toward that sound he hurried in turn. And suddenly the tremendous grasp of Mateo Rubriz was on him. He put his huge arms around the bandit and crushed him with an embrace. It was like hugging a huge rounded ! | barrel. | “How have they brought you here? | The dog Estrada—was it he? Answer | | me, brother—Mateo—my friend—" | “I came with El Keed to find you, | Mateo.” “To find—me? Here? You came i Willingly, do you say. “And El Keed—he is here? Where is he?” “In the hands of Juan-Silva.” “San Juan of Capistramo, forget all my prayers. Remember only this last | one—let the hands of El Keed close |on the windpipe of the devil Juan- Silva!™ Rubriz began to beat his brels(i with his.great hands. | “What have I done that God should be so good to me?” he said. He re- covered his voice and went on: “But I told you—I have always told you, Pas- | cual—that the saints had marked me | out for a great thing. Otherwise, why | | should they have given me two such | friends as you and El Keed?” | | Mateo cried out as though in pain. | “Now I am ready to die,” he said. “It would be better to pray, brother,” said the friar. “Pray for El Keed.” “I shall pray,” said Mateo Rubriz. “And yet I have a better hope than {prayer. For the three of us—what fools they were to let the three of us come into this one valley! We shall find things to do. Do you doubt that?” | “I know that the mind of El Keed is never quiet. It stirs even at night. | I have heard him call out softly in | his sleep. Sometimes of horses, some- times of guiis, or of gambling, or the name of a gringo girl or Rosita!” “May a curse—" began Rubriz. Peace, brother!” commanded the friar with a certain austerity. “She | repents. And it is she who keeps the | good horses and waits for us outside | the valley.” Montana had been taken, blood- dripping, naked, straight to the pres- lence of terrible old Juan-Silva, and | the ancient man had sat up and | looked at the Kid with his eyes, | which were too young, saying: “It |is El Keed! And now it shows that it is better to try a thing three times, | so as to make perfectly sure. | “And now it is time for us to treat our guest in another manner. Take | him quickly. Emilio. You know where the rooms are where we give honor to | a guest. Open the press to him and |let him find his clothes. Quickly! | Quickly! So that he may change his mind about us!™ They took the Kid off in haste, | therefore, and the gray-headed cap- | tain of the guard said, muttering: | “No man ever before was treated like this! Some one is growing too old!” | There was everything that a man could wish, it seemed to the Kid, in the rooms to which he was taken. The ceilings were high. The air was | heavenly cool. forced by fans through constantly showering water, the very | sound of which ran like a blessing | through the mind of Montana. * When he had dressed h'mself he was cool to the point of real comfort and the pressure of hot blood was gradually receding in his brain, Juan-Silva sent for him. He went out. A Mexican woman brought them | food. She looked like an ape, with a flat face stuck out at the end of a | forward-leaning neck. She had a hump behind her shoulders that in- dicated strength rather than age and her arms were prodigiously long. Juan-Silva laid hold of her arm and stopped her. “This is Maria,” said Juan-Silva. “For 10 years now she has been serv- | ing me. And yet she is not paid with money.” Afterward, while they were eating, the Kid said, “Does she love you s0 much, senor?” P For the fiscal year 1936. the esti- | matec receipts are $3,991,904.639, | while veteran benefits will total $704,885,500. * v e 3 DO YOU KNOW— HAT is the largest city west of the Mis-issippt River and east of Reno, Nev.?

She had found out that| her two sons had been sent here not | many months before. But one of | them was already dead, and the other she met crawling down the road. The chains had been taken from him. He was free!” Juan-Silva interrupted | himself to laugh again. “And so she | is still here—and she is only waiting. | She is paid by expectation.” | Waiting for what?" asked the Kid. | “For my death!" said Juan-Silva. ’ Montana learns, tomorrow, Juan- | Silva’s secret. g ee R (Above) No WONDER every one stares.. .. in all the world no car like this. . .in appearance, performance, comfort and safety] (Right) Read a newspaper or take a back-seat nap...on any rcad...at any speed.
