STRAIGE FIE By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER- WIN. f— ———————————————— ] Big Tim finished the last crumb of his midnight lunch on the driver’s seat of his old-fashioned four-wheeled hack. Then he took a red lusclous-looking apple from his pocket. “No,” he sald suddenly, drawing it back as he was about to sink his teeth in its juicy depths—"“Old Ready will cheer up a bit if I give it to him and he deserves it—brave, loyal fel low!” So Tim got down from the seat, broke the pippin in'two with his strong The latter tried to express his appre- clation of the cheering feast. He some dainty, his eye fixed gratefully on his master and then rubbed his frowsy cheek against that of Tim. “It's all right, isn't it?"” chirped Tim. “Ever the best of friends, hey, old scout? What chums we've been nigh on to twenty years. And now—ah me!” Tim sighed, and well he might. The good old days were gone, indeed. Square by square, mile by mile laws, ordinances, the police had pushed the old cab stand farther and farther from the city center. New centers had been formed, but chauffeurs and auto- mobiles and electric cabs had in- ! truded. Thus for over a year Tim and Ready ' had been obliged to make their night stand at the present corner—a street car junction. An occasional fare came ! along. There were some exigency midnight calls from doctors, the hospi- tal, or some belated convivialists. Tim had grown old and hardened in ! the service. Ready was drooping and gray. The hack had seen both its best and its worst days. There was a family of four at home. Tim knew nothing but driving a hack, so he was fast going down hill with a failing business, “If T only had the capital to buy an electric cab,” he mused longingly. “And a new suit. Then me for a fashionable hotel stand or the depots | and a good rest for you, old Ready. Fare, sir?” Tim, always on the lookout for busi- ness, as a feature of routine hafled a man who had suddenly appeared, look- ing about him as though in a hurry Munched at the Last Shred of the Toothsome Dainty. or anxious to hurry others. He was a well dressed handsome young fellow and he seemed flustered and excited. The stranger looked over Tim, then his hack, and then old Ready. It was apparent from the disappointed ex- prossion of his face that the layout was not encouraging. | “See here,” he sald rapidly, “is there a public garage anywhere near?" | “Mile down the avenue,” vouchsafed Tim. ! Again the man looked over Tim and his equipment. | “Are you ready for a hard run?" he inquired. “Well, 8ir,” replied Tim, “as you see, old Ready is no racehorse, but if it's a sure steady plugging gait he can’t be beat.” “Get up on your box and follow or- ders, then,” directed the stranger. “You shall have good pay, only do Just as I direct you,” and to Tim's surprise the man got up beside him as though resolved to act as pilot direct. He pulled his coat collar well up over his face and spoke crisply, nerv- ously when he spoke at all. After devious turns and windings he or- dered Tim to drive 'uwiy i wn a dark lane.

Poor dear!” and he held the form more sheltering- ly. “Get us away quick, if you want to help a good cause.” The man disposed of the senseless form of the girl within the vehicle. Then he spoke hurriedly and definite- Iy to Tim. He wished to reach a cer . tain point, a little suburb eight miles ! distant. “No traversed roads,” he explained. | then the two bafiled fellows sneaked . on the prairie. There was a happy | relieved look in the face of the young ! again—nor Ready, much,” observed pressed his inquiries still further. | _ mable gas with which balloons are ' pregnated with rabber and may easily ! “You must cut across the prairies west of the city.” “It'll be slow work for this old rig, that,” reported Tim dubiously. | “Do your best—you shan't lose,” as- | sured his fare. It was, indeed, slow work, and un- pleasant and venturesome at that. The old vehicle wobbled and creaked as they left the paved streets. Old Ready stumbled, puffed and had to halt fre- quently for a rest. Then a mile or less from their destination, a wheel | broke off in a rut. The hack nearly pitched over. Ready gave a final gasp and sank down smashing the shafts and, lying in the mud and mire, col- lapsed. “This is pretty serious,” grumbled Tim. “I hope you'll see to the dam- age.” “Doubly over, my man,” promised the fare. “Ah!” he exclaimed joyful-i 1y, looking within the vehicle—"Alda, it is I. We have escaped,” and he| hastened over some explanations. “ ‘ will be back as soon as I get my | charge to the town just beyond here,” he assured Tim and half supporting his companion he disappeared amid the darkness. “H'm!” commented Tim lugubrious- | ly “the end has come for the old lay- out. I guess.” | It was about an hour later when} Tim, anxiously stroking poor Ready | who appeared to be at his last gasp, | was startled by the appearance of‘ two men. They were breathless from | running and in a minute or two Tim | knew that they were on the trail of | his recent fare. They looked inside the vehicle. Then they began to ques- tion him as to the direction his pas- sengers had gone, Sturdy Tim gave them no satisfac- tion and they tried to force him to speak. He beat off one of his as- sailants. The other seizing a stone was about to lay him out, when Ready staggered to his feet. With a quick nip he seized the man's arm between his powerful jaws. There was a crunching sound, a curdling yell and away. Daylight was dawning as a welcome figure appeared upon the bleak spot man, “Well, my man,” he hailed cheerily, | Matter That Is Worthy of the Most be said about masticating one’s food.' of garb, and allow. g i The teeth were made for this purpose yntil the sun is o't ne.

I've had lots to do—among other things getting married to the young lady you have helped out of the hands of scheming cruel relations.” “Why, sir, a romance,” intimated Tim. “Well nigh a tragedy,” saild the young man seriously. “They had drugged her to spirit her away, but I got ahead of them.
