RETRIBUTION o B A e o — 8 The manifold powers of circum- stance were in conspiracy against Ned Cornet this late August afternoon. No detail ‘'was important in itself. It had been drizzling slowly and mourn- fully, but drizzle is not uncommon in Seattle, Ned Cornet had been pass- ing the time pleasantly in the Totem club, on Fourth street, doing nothing in particular, nothing exceedingly bad or good or even unusually diverting; but such was quite a customary prac- tice with him, ¥inally, Cornet's special friend, Rodney Coburn, had Just returned from one of his hundred sojourns in far places—this time from an especially attractive salmon stream in Canada. The two voung men had met in Coburp's room at the Totem club, and | the steward had gone thither with | tall glasses and ice. Coburn had not returned empty-handed from Canada. Partly in c:lebration of his return, and partly because of the superior quality of the goods that had a‘ccom- panied him, his friend Ned raised his| afternoon limit from two powerful | pre-dinner cocktails to no less than | four richly amber whiskies-and-sodas. | Thus their meeting was auspicious, | and on leaving the club, about 7, it came about that Ned Cornet met the rain, It was not enough to bother him. He didn't even think about it. Tt was only a lazy, smoky drizzle that deepened the shadows of falling twi- light and blurred the lights in the street. Ned Cornet had a fire within that more or less occupied his thoughts. In a space of time so short that it resembled some half-glimpsed inci- dent . in a dream, Ned found himself, still at his wheel, the car c vise in the street and the front wheels al- most touching the curb, a terrible and ghastly sobriety upon him. 'Something had happened. He gone into a perilous skid at the corner of Fourth and Madison, the slid sickeningly out of his control, | and at the wrong instant a dark shape, all too plainly another auto- mobile, had lurchéd out of the murk of the. rain. Ned Cornet had had antomobiles at Lis command long before it was safe for him to have his hands on them. ‘When cold sober he drove rather too fast, none too carefully, but had an almost ingcredible mastery over his car. He knew how to pick his wheel tracks over bumpy|roads, and he knew the exact curve that a car could take with gafety in ronnding a corner. liven now, in the crisis that had just been, he had handled his car like the veteran he was. The wonder was not that he had hit the other car, but rather, considering the speed with which he'had come, that it should continue to remain before hig sight, but little damaged, instead of being shattered into Kkindling and dust. Nevertheless it was not yet time to receive congratulations from specta- tors. There had been serious conse- quences enough. He was suddenly face to face with the fact that in his “haste to get home for dinner he had | very likely obliterated a human life, There was a curious, huddied heap on the dim pavement, just beyond the small car he had struck. It was a girl; she lay very stiil, and the face half covered by the arm seemed very while and lifeles: And blasted by a terror such as was never known in all his wasted years, Ned lcaped, raced, and fell to his knees at her side. The car he had struck was one of the thousands of “jitneys” of which he rad so often spoke with contempt. The girl was a shopgirl or factory worker, on her way home. haken with horror, but still swift and strong from the stimulus of the crl he lifted her head and shoulders in his arms. Then the girl smiled in his face. “Pm mot hurt,” he heard her seemingly in answer to some sens less query of his. She shook her head at the same time, and she smiled as she did it. “l know what I'm gaying,’ she went on. “I'm not hurt —one—bit!"” ' The little drama, as if hurled in an instant from the void, was already Ce—— TAKE SALTS IF STOMACH ISNT ACTING RIGHT Says Indigestion Results From Excess I Hydrochloric ‘ Acid | car had | in the | ferments | open air, | alsp telis Hy- xcess Undigested food delayed stomach decays, rather the same as food left in the says a noted authority.

Some of the spectators were already moving on, In just a moment, before half a dozen more words could be said, other cars were swinging by, and a policeman was on the scene asking questions and jotting down license numbers. Just for a moment he paused at Ned’s elbow, “Your name and address, please?" he asked coldly. Ned whirled, turning his eyes from | the girl's e for the first time, . “Ned Cornet,” he answered.

"It >rtainly is no credit to you that she ain't, There is plenty of witnesses here if she wants to make a suit.” “I'll give this young lady complete satisfaction,” Ned promised. He turned to her in easy friendliness, a queer little crooked smile, winning and astonishingly juvenile, appearing at his mouth, ow let's get in my car. “I'll take you home—and we can talk this over.” She directed him out Madison into | a district of humble, modest, but re- spectable residences. “It's lucky you came along—I don’t often get a ride, clear to my door.” “Lueky! I want to say if it wasn't for all the luck in the world you'd be going to the, hospitat] instead. I'm taking all the blame for that smash back there—I got off mighty lueky. Now let's settle about the dress—and a few other thjngs. First you're sure you're not hurt?"” He was a little surprised -at the gay, girlish smile ‘about her lips. ‘Not a particle, It would be nice if 1 could go to the hospital two weeks or so, just to rest—but I haven’t the| conscience to do it.

This girl in his car was in her early twenties-over, rather than under-—of medium height, with the slender strength of an expert swimmer, yeet her beauty was that of a child, He: couldn’t tell, at first, in just what her beauty lay. \Other girls'had fresh skins, bright eyes, smiling lips and masses of dark lustrous hair— (and some of them even had the sim- plicity of good manners. Ned had a quick,’ sure mind, and for a moment he mused, over his wheel as he tried to puzzle it out. But soon after this Ned Cornet caught himself with a whispered oath. He was. positively maudlin! The excitement, the near approach to tragedy, the influence of the liquor manifesting itself once more in his veins were making him stare and think like a siily fool. The girl was a particularly attractive shopgirl or factory worker, strong and athletic for all her appealing slenderness, doubtless pretty enough to waken considerable interest in certain of his friends who went in for that sort of thing, but he, Ned Cornet, had other interests, The gaze he bent upon her was suddenly indifferent. They were almost at their destina- tion now, and he did not see the sud- den decline of her mood in response to his dying interest. Sensitive as a flower to sunlight, she realized in a moment that a barrier of caste had dropped down between them. She was silent the rest of the way, “Would vou mind telling me what you do—in the way of work, I mean?" he asked her, at her door. “My father has a business that employs many girls. There might be chance—" “I' can do almost anything with a needle, thank you,” she told him with | “Ritting, I could hem- name perfect frankness. stitching, embroidery a dozen other things. “We eniploy dozens of seamstresses and fitters.” I suppose I can reach you here—after work hours. I'll keép you in mind.” An instant later he had bidden her good night and driven away, little dreaming, that, through ¢he glass pane: of the door, her lustrous blue eyes had followed the red spark that was his tail-light till it disappeared in the deepening gloom. 11, Ned Cornet kept well speed laws gn his way back father’s beautiful home on _Queen Anné® Hill. He was none too well pleased with himself, and his thoughts were busy. - There would be some sort of a scene with Godfrey Cornet, the gray man whose self-amassed wealth would ultimately settle for the damages to the ‘“jitney" and the af- front to the municipality—perhaps only a frown, a moment’s coldne about the lips, but a scene neverthe- l€ss. No one could look at Godfrey Cor- net and doubt that he was the vet- eral of many wars. /The battles he had fought had been those of eco- nomic stress, but they had scarred kim none the less. Every one of his fine features told the same story. His mouth was hard and grim, but it could smile with the kindest, most boyish pleasure on occa- sion. His nose was like an eagle's beak, his face was lean with never a sagging muscle, his eyes, coal bilack, within to his | had each bright points as of blades of steel. People always wondered at his trim, erect form, giving little sign of his advanced years. IFor all the Juxury with which he had surrounded | his wife and son, he himself had al- ways lived frugally; simple food, suf- ficient exercise, the most personal and detailed contact with his business.

Sargent, head of the Sargent school of Dramatic Art in New York city was found with a revolver in cne hand in a room of the Witherill hotel here jlate yesterday.
