For the companies are com- polled fo keep street, elevated and sub- way cars heated, and the landiord— well, he can heat the premises if he pleases, and if he doesn’t want to the tenant can bang. And the landlord really doesn'T have to, rack his brain for excuses if he doesn't want to heat the premises. The foregoing clause gives him a choice of excuses, every one god for his purposes. ‘There !s one pertinent question for the landlords to answer just now— whether they got in a winter supply of coal this last spring or summer, of whether they heid off, feeling sure that a strike would come with the cold weather and make it imposgibie for them to get cual for any of the rea- song set worth in the lease clause. With the coming of the strike and the wearcity of coal they will have a ready answer to the complaints of shivering tonants. And if there is no strike they can stil point to the lease and my that they are not in any way bound to qeur the apartments; that the tenant knew that when he signed —Naky lease, s ‘And again, there you 4 SERGT.

But even at cabled rates, he is “men- tioned” in despatches as “one of the most gallant fighters In the’ Polish forces,” and the rank he has earned in one vear’s time is another indica- ton that Sweeny has been running true to form as soldier of fortune and of romance. . bad Like every best-selling hero of Richard Harding Davis, Anthony Hope or Justin Hartly McCarthy, Sweeny was born to the purple-— which, according to the American definition, means that he was born a millionaire’s son. His father was a former President of the Federal Smelting and Refining Company, in Spokane, Washington, But Harvard and polo and a desk in father’s office were not good enough for Sweeny. He inaiated on being sent to West Point. . ‘ Then, after leaving, there wasn't ‘any war in these States, So it was oyer the Mexican border for Sweeny. He threw himself gallantly into the fight for the ill-fated Madero, With Lady Adventure still luring him, he went on to Central and South Amer- ica, where some country is alwa/s obliging with a tidy war.
