HOFFMAN, i 1@ } It is a feature of the glad, free life | of this republic that every man is en- | titled to an opinion on everything un- der the sun, and, within wide limits, {1s entitled to the unrestricted expres- sion of that opinion. Bill Daidy is one of those who be- ‘lieve there is good in the large exer- cise of that privilege, although of late j years he has added caution to candor. In the old days’he came in off his en- gine, loaded with the usual accumula- tion of griefs over the shortcomings of the roundhouse, which are apt to loom large in the long watches of the night run. He gradually grew the habit of clos- ing his regular harangue to the round- house foreman with a sort of perora- tion which summed up the real or im- aginary derelictions of everybody con- nected with the road, from call-boy to president. In an effort to break the .flow of Bill's rough eloquence the roundhouse foreman unwittingly set Bill's feet upon the path that led upward—down- ward, Bill laughingly insists some- times. “Bill, why in thunder don't you write a book?” said the long-suffering foreman, when Bill had become more than usually aggressive in his none too gentle impeachments. “You are sure wasting your talent on an en- gine.” | Bill glared for a moment before he was able to let down the pressure of road management which he had men- tally assumed, and then, as the recol- lection of a purchase he had recently made for his growing son flashed across his mind, he gave way to a slow grin and said: “Blamed if I don't believe that's a good idea, Ballard. Maybe I'll just go you a chapter, when my boy gets fit with his machine.” So, Daidy, in his evenings at home, took to rehearsing his daily griefs to the boy, who laboriously hammered them out of the typewriter into gro- i tesques of composition and the print- | er's art. Daidy “dictated” and ‘“revised,” “killed copy” and “edited,” although he did not know it in those terms, and after many days what he had grown to call “The Chapter” was fin- | ished, decked out with border lines that fairly exhausted the resources of tiie boy and the eighty-odd characters of the machine. Bill gloated over it for a week of nights, and then liked it so well that he decided to have ft all done over again, in order that he might net only supply Ballard, but also send carbon copics of it surreptitiously (o the su- perintendent of niotivé power, the di- vision superintendent, and—holy of holies—the general manager. The superintendent of motive pow- | er duly reccived his copy, threw it in the waste basket, and remarked casu- ally, “Bill! He liked Bll, but not Bill's too free excoriations., The div copy and, I ! future use on superintendent read his 1zhing, pigeonholed it for in letting down the pres- o sure of the supcrintendent of motive To turn some of my Big Siock into money, I offer rower when next they should lock { horns over engine failures. | The general manager took up his I copy from its personal cover and read | it from start to finish, as follows: Chapter One. | If this don't fit your case, you get a clearance card right here. The board is out for others. ‘When you build an engine and want { the most results and don’t care what i | kind, fix yourself with a lot of dis- } couraged draftsmen, and, for chief, get | @ good wrangler that talks into his whiskers and don't decide much.

Hire a lot of master mechanics that know all about sawm:lis. ' here ain't none around here, bt o1 can see them running in the woc .= " 7~ take 2 a ride with me. They wiii ve ready to lay up your new engine when it comes out, Fix up boiler steel specifications | that you know are O.

That will sure give a lift, orce in a wh to some of ua fel- lows that’s a little w about circulat- the scenery, and it will make things brisk in the boiler shop. Them fellows need work.

The dispatcher won't care, if she don’t block the track. It makes work for the blacksmiths. | Fix your spring-rigging so, when it breaks, the equalizer will hit, point | down, in the track. Gives the engine a better start when she jumps. She will go farther and everything had ought to be made to go as far as it | can.

Two stay on too well. | Put your driving-box wedge-bolts in | a safe deposit box behind the driving I ® | kept up a clatter of talk. As it neared | eight o'clock they left the place. Sud- i denly Ralph halted upon the public street. “I declare,” he exclalmed, *“I left my cuffs in the rack back at the bil liard hall” “Shall I go back with you or wait for you?™ inquired Beale, courteously. “Thanks but [ shall have to h to get to my appointment,” explaite Ralph. His face was grave and anxious all the time later while he sat convers- ing with Eunice or listening to her piano playing at the Martin home. As be arose to leave she looked appeal- ingly nto his tace. “Ralph,” she said, “what is woubling you this evening? Something, I know. Won't you tell me what it is?" He could not resi peal. He toli his cuffs. She realized how sincerely he deplored the loss of her first gift to him. “I have offered a liberal reward at the billlard hail for their recovery,” sald Ralph. “I caunnot forgive my for- getfulness in leaving them. Some ona has appropriated them." “Never mind, Ralph,” Funice said, sweetly. “They were of little intrinsic value, and I will give you another pair.” Ralph did not lcave the trustful girl in an altogether easy frame of mind. He 4id rot tell her of the safe combi- nation whic of the cuffs. For the life of him he could not recall those numerals. This put him in a state of anxiety, and to some dccided inconvenience. Fortunately no business came in that required reference to the contents of the safe, but large amcunts vece paid and important documents received, and these Ralph locked up in a strong tin box and slept with it under his pillow each night. Mr. Martin returned at the end of ten days. He looked surprised when Ralph made his report. He opened the safe. Then he turned upon his bookkeeper with a dark, suspicious face. "1 left a package containing twelve hundred in cash in this safe when I went away, and it is gone,” he said, sat down grimly, wrote out a check for a month's salary and added: “Ter- hune, you are discharged.” Ralph was given no opportunity to explain. Mr. Martin scouted his story about losing the combination and not opening the safe as ridiculous. Ralph was not even allowed to see Eunice. Disgraced, branded as a thief, he was sent away from that cherished para- dise of business and love. Two days later Beale borrowed & thousand dollars on a note from a banker. Two days still later Martin learned that the note was a forgery. He began an investigation. At its termination he was satisfled that his fugitive relative was a conscienceless swindler. Obdurate and self-willed, he refused to consider that Ralph might be guiltless. Just after the flight of ;Beale, however, Eunice came to him with flaming eyes. “Papa,” she sald, “I want you to send for Mr. Terhune at once and make some atonement for misjudging him so cruelly.” “What do you mean—" began her father. “This: I can prove who opened that safe,” and Bunice placed before him— a pair of cuffs and a card covered with figures. “The maid found these in the waste basket in cleaning the room that Mr. Beale occupied,” said Kunice. “The cuffs he stole from Ralph, the card shows how he distributed that missing twelve hundred dollars.” Within the hour Ralph Terhune was restored to his old position—and a new |i h he had scribbled on one | one—as prospective son;in-law of John ' Martin, banker. (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) RICH MEN AND THEIR MONEY Most of Them Are Exceedingly Care- ful in Limiting Their Personal Expenditures. Although Henry Phipps, the Pitts- burgh magnate, delights in giving mil- | s e——— lions of dollars to hospitals and chari- ties, he will get out of his motor car and go back to his study to turn out the electric lights before starting on the ride. Andrew Carnegie has gone downtown with only a couple of dol- lars in his pockets. He is quite in contrast in this respect with the late Charles G. Gates, who has been seen to pull a roll of thousand dollars bills from his pocket when paying a hotel bill. August Belmont i8 a careful spender in most every particular. He carries a pocketful of dimes for use in dispen- sing tips to walters and other ser- vants, but when it comes to the ques-, tion of shoes there is no limit to his outlay, as he indulges in many new pairs each week, The list might be iuc.i.itely ex- tended, for there is per + other acteristic which m¢ ly dif- ferentiates millionaires. s ly no two of them spend their money in just the same day. The subject is of peren- nial inter however, as everyone knows. Witness the widesoread dis- on recently aroused by the action of Justice Aspinall of the New York court in allowing $15,000 a year ali- mony to the fair applicant for a di- vorce, after publiely reprimanding her for having applied for $78,000 on vhich “to make ends meet!™ Both Ways. “The performer who fell from the trapeze accomplished also an acro- ame moment he landed oo Lis bead he fell down on his feat.” “Home, Sweet Home.” It was dark and cold and the gaunt and leafless trees were swayed by fit- ful gusts of wind that spoke of com- ing rain. Plodding Pete and Weary Willie quickened their pace in order to reach a place of shelter ere the storm should overtake them. This sudden burst of energy seemed to excite con- versation. “Wot’s up with yer, Pete?” inquired Willie. “Yer look as if yer goin’ ter cry” . “I dunno,” was Pete’s reply. “I don’t feel the joy o' livin' like I used to. I've been thinkin' o’ my wasted life, an’ I've got a sorter uneasy, homesick feelin’” “Homesick!” broke in Willie. “Why, bless me, I belleve that's wot both of us are sufferin’ from. We ain't nei- ther of us bin inside a fall for close in three th . ave wa " Just So. “Do you think that marriage is a lottery ?" “Can’t say I do.
