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 luscious-looking apple from his pocket. “No,” he said 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 fists and fed the sections to the horse. The latter tried to express his appre- ciation of the cheering feast. He munched at the last shred of the tooth- 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 1t?"” 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 1 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 hailed a man who had suddenly appeared, look- ing about him as though in a hurry 7 '{ kfi‘m L ‘ ’l = 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- | pr-ssion of his face that the layout was not encouraging. | “See here,” he sald rapldly, “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, sir,” replied Tim, “as you see, old Ready 18 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 gurprise the man got up beside him as though resolved to act as pllot direct. He pulled his coat collar well up over his face and spoke crigply, nerv- ously when he spoke at all. After devious turns and windings he or- dered Tim to drive slowly down a dark lane. Behind a three-story brick house he whispered an order to halt. Then he was lost in the darkness of the yard beyond for some minutes. When he returned, to the amazement of Tim he carried in his arms a girl- {sh form wrapped up in a great water- proof coat, “3ep here, mister,” exclaimed Tim, what's this—kidnaping?” out the young man ‘villainy!

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- ly, looking within the vehicle—'"Aida, diseases, disinfects, bath and toi- it is I.

There was a crunching sound, a curdling yell and then the two baflled fellows sneaked away. Daylight was dawning as a welcome figure appewred uven the bleak spot on the prairie. There was a happy relieved look in the face of the young man, “Well, my man,” he hailed cheerily, “thought I was going to forget you.
