O”’Roon looked Seedy and out of luck and perfectly Contented. But it seemed that his content was only apparent. “Get me a job, Remsen,” he said. “I've just handed a barber my last shilling.” “No trouble at all,” said Remsen. “1 know a lot of men who have m town. Any particular line fancy?” “Yea,” said O’Roon, with a look of interest. “I took a walk in your Central Park this morning. I'd like to be one of those bobbies on horse- back. That would be about the tleket. Besides, it’s the only thing IT could do. I can ride 4 little and the fresh air suits me. Think you Gould land that for me?” Remsen was sure that he could. And in a very short time he did.

In the car was a chauffeur and an old gentleman with snowy side whiskers and a Scotch plaid cap which could not be worn while automobiling ex- cept by 4 personage. Not even a wine agent would dare do it. But these two were of no consequence— except, perhaps, for the guiding of the machine and the paying for it. At the old gentleman's sido sat a lady more beautiful than pomegranate blossoms, more ex. quisite than the first quarter moon view at twilight thru the tops of Oleanders. Remsen saw her and ienew his fate. He could have flung himself under the very wheels that conveyed her, but he knew that would be the last means of attract- ing the attention of those who ride in motor cars, Slowly the auto pasued, and, if we place the poets above the autoists, carried the heart of Remsen with it. Here was a large city of millions, and many women who at a certain distance ap- pear to resemble pomegranate bios toms.

CARS LOSING, SAYS CALDWELL Despite the increase in carfares, the municipal railway system is steadily losing money for the taxpay- erm of the city. ‘This was the statement issued Sat- urday by Mayor Hugh M. Caldwell. In a pessimistic interview granted to a Star reporter, Caldwell declared that a definite program would have to be adopted shortly to keep the railway from going still further “in the red.” The mayor said that he was not at all in accord with the method of figuring the finances of the street car company. “As compiled at the present time by the statisticians, the city's ex. penses include $56,000 per month charged off to depreciation,” he as- serted. “I am convinced that this figure in too high. Also, no private company In the world could pay in- terest on its capital stock, retire the entire amount of the capital stock in leas than 20 years and replace its en- tire $12,000,000 plant every 18 years. This is what we are asking the mu- nicipal line to do.” The mayor pointed out that under civil service regulations, employes of the road are entitled to two weeks’ vacation on full pay every year. Un- der private control such vacations were not granted to the men.
