Warburton goes to Washington to visit his relatives, a married brother, who holds a government position, and a sister engaged to an old school chum of his. Invited to accompany family to ball at British embassy, but declines. Concocts a scheme to play a joke on his sister and sister-in-law. , CHAPTER V.-Warburton meets his sister's fiance whom he had not seen for eight years." Roes the folks off for the embassy ball and then proceeds to put his Joke Into execution, which is to disguise himself as a coachman and drive his sister and sUtt'i -In-law, who must return alone, from the embassy to their home. CHAPTER VI. Warburton in his disguise goes to British embassy and takes the place of his brother's coachman, whom he has bribed. ' Ho mistakes his carriage number when called and gets the wrong paHngers without knowing It. Drives frantically about the streets, pursued by mounted policemen. When carriage comes to a stop h springs down and throws his arms nbout the first of his passengers to alight, who proves to be Miss Annesley Instead or his slater. CHAPTER VII. A POLICE AFFAIR. "Officers, arrest this fellow!" commanded the young woman. Her gesture was Didoesque in Its wrath. "That we will, ma'am!" cried one of the policemen, flinging himself from his horse. "So it's you, me gay buck? Thirty days fer you, an mebbe more. I didn't like jer looks from th start. You're working some kind of a trick. What complaint, ma'am?" "Drunkenness and abduction," rubbing the burning spot on her cheek. "That'll bo rather serious. Ye'll have to appear against him In th mornln", raa'im," "I ccrtainb shall do so." She promptly gave hr name, address and telephone number. "Bill, you drive th ladies home an I'll see this bucko to th' station. Here, you! "to .Warburton, who was still dumb with astonishment at the extra-v ordinary denouement to his innocent Joke. "Git on that horse, an lively, or, or I'll rap ye with th club." "It's all a mistake, officer " "Close yer face and git on that . horse. Y can tell th' judge all that , In th mornln. I ain't got no time f listen. Bill, report Just as soon as ye see th' ladies home. Now, off with y'. Th ladles'll be wanting somethin t quiet their nerves. Git on that horse, me frisky groom; hustle!" Warburton mechanically climbed Into the saddle. It never occurred to him to parley, to say that, he couldn't ride a horse. v.The inventive cells of his usually fertile brain lay passive. "Now," went on the officer, mounting his own nag, "will ye go quietly? If ye -don't I'll plug ye in th leg with a chunk o' lead. I won't stan no nonsense." "What are you going to do with a9 . air a J T .V... t . t . m .1 uiu, aancu naiuuuuu, vv j ill a usiate effort to collect his energies. J "Lock ye up; mebbe throw a pail of water on that overheated cocoanut of yours." "But if you'll only let me explain to you! It's all a Joke; I got the wrong carriage " 'Marines, marines! D' ye think I was born yostlddy? Ye wanted th ladies' sparklers, or I'm a doughhead." The police are the same all over the world; Ihe original idea sticks to I them, and truth In voice or presence ' is hut a sign of deeper running and villainy. "Anyhow, ye can't turn around Washington like ye do In England, me cockney. Ye can't drive more'n a hundred miles an hour on these pavements." "But. I tell you" Warburton. realizing where his escapade was about to lead him, grew desperate. The Ignominy of It! He would be the laugh-ing-stock of the town on the morrow. The papers would teem with it. "You'll find that you are making a great mistake. If you will only take me to Scott Circle" "Where ye have a pal with a gun, eh? Git ahead!" and the two made off toward the west. Once or twice the officer found himself admiring the easy seat of his prisoner: and if the horse had been anything but a trained animal, he would have worried pome regnrcMns the ultimate arrival at the third precinct. Half a doen times Warburton was of a mind to make a bolt for It. but he did not dare trust the horse or his knowledge of the streets. He had already two counts against him. disorderly conduct and abduction, and he had no desire to add uselessly, a third, that of resisting an officer, which 'seems the greatest possible crime a ,roan can commit and escape hanging. Oh, for a mettlesome nag! There 'would be no police-station for him, then. Police-station! Heavens, what , should he do? His brother, his sister: their dismay, their shame; not countIns that he himself would be laughed at from one end of the continent to the other. What an ass he had made of himself! He wondered how mucb jnoney It would take to clear himself ajajL L the same moment recollected

OH THE BOX

MacGRATH. that fie hadn't a cent In his clothes. A sweat of terror moistened his brow. "What are ye up to, anyway?" asked the policeman. "What kind of booze have ye been samplln?" "I've nothing to say." "Ye speak clear enough. So mucb th' worse, if ye ain't drunk. Was ye crazy t ride like that? Ye might have killed th' women an' had a bill of manslaughter brought against ye." "I have nothing to say; it is all a mistake. I got ths wrong number and the wrong carriage." "Th' devil ye d'd. An where was ye goin to drive th' other carriage at that thunderin rate? It won't wash. Hl3 honor'll be stone-deaf when ye tell him that. You're drunk or have been." "Not to-night" "Well. I'd give me night off t know, what ye were up to. Don't ye know nolhln' about ordinances an' laws? An' I wouldn't mind havin ye tell me why ye threw yer arms around th' lady an' kissed her." shrewdly. , Warburton started 5n his saddle. He bad forgotten all about that part of the episode. His blood warmed suddenly and his cheeks burned. He had kissed her, kissed her soundly, too, the most radiantly beautiful woman in the world. Why. come to think of it. it Was easily worth a night in jail. Yes, by George, he had kissed her, kissed that blooming cheek, and but for this policeman, would have forgotten! Whatever happened to him. she wouldn't forget in a hurry. He laughed. The policeman gazed at him in pained surprise.. , . . - "Well, ye seem t take It good and hearty." "If you could only see the humor in It, my friend, you'd laugh, too." "Oh. I would, hey? All I got f say is. that yer nerve gits me. An' ye stand a pretty good show of bein' rounded up for more'n 30 days, too. Well, ye've had yer joke: mebbe ye have th price t' pay th fiddler. Turn here." The rest of the ride was in silence, Warburton gazing callously ahead and the officer watching him with a wary eye to observe any suggestive movement. He couldn't make out this chap. There was something wrong, some deep-dyed villainy of this he hadn't the slightest doubt. It was them hightoned swells that was the craftiest an' most daring. Handsome is that handsome does. A quarter of an hour later they arrived at the third precinct, where our Jehu "wts registered for the night under the name of James Osborne. He was bustled into a small cell and left to himself. "He had kissed her! Glory of glories! He had pressed her to his very heart, besides. After all, they couldn't do anything serious to him. They could not prove the charge , of abduction. He stretched himself on the cot, smiled, arranged his legs comfortably, wondered what she was thinking of at thi3 moment, and fell asleep. It was a sign of a good constitution and a decently white conscience. And thus they found , him In the morning. They touched his arm. and he awoKe with a smue, me truest indication of a man's amiability. At first he was puzzled as he looked bllnkingly from his Jailers to his surroundings and then back at his jailers. Then it all returned to him, and he laughed. Nov.- th law, as represented and upheld w petty officers, possesses a dignity th-t is Instantly ruffled by the sound of laughter from a prisoner: and Mr. Hobert was roughly told; to shut up. nnd that he'd soon laugh on the other side of his mouth. "All right officers, all right; only make allowances for a man who sees the funny side of things." Warburton stood tip and shook himself, and picked up his white hat. They eyed him intelligently. In the morning "Tight the young follow' didn't appear to be such a rascal. It was plainly evident, that he ha.l not been drunk the preceding night; for his eyes were not-sdiot with red veins nor did his lips lick their usual healthy moisture. The officer who had taken him in charge, being a shrewd and trained observer, noted the white hands, soft and well-kept. He shook his head. "Look here, me lad, you're no groom. not by several years. Now, what th A Ar II n4 0 r im r 4 V t TIT Q V "I'm not saying a word, sir," smiled Warburton. "All I want to know is. am I to have any breakfast? I shouldn't mind some peaches and cream or grapes to start with, and a small steak and coffee." "Ye wouldn't mind, hey?" mimicked the officer. "What d'ye think this place is. th' Metropolitan club? Ye'll have yer bacon an coffee, an' be glad t git it. They'll feed ye in the messroom. Come along." Warburton took his time over the coffee and bacon. He wanted to think out a reasonable defense without un masking himself. He was thinking how he could get word to "me, too, Th "duffer" might prove a friend In need. "Now where ?"r asked Warburton, wiping his mouth. "T th court. It'll go hard with ye If ye're handed over f th grand jury on th charge of abduction. YeM bet ter make a clean breast of It. I'll speak a word for yer behavior." "Aren't you a little curious?", "It's a part of me business." gruffly "111 have my say to the" judge" said Warburton. 'That's yer own affair. Come. xQuce outside, 5Varburtoji Jjst color

and a large part of his nonchalance; for an open pitrol stood at the r-trb. "Have I got to riJo ia that? disgustedly. ' "As true as life; an if ye make any disturbance, so much th worse." Warburton climbed in. his face red with shame and anger. He tied , his handkerchief around his - chin and tilted his hat far down over his eyes. "Praid of meetin some of yer swell friends, hey? Ten f one, yer a swell an was ronnin away with th wrong woman. Mind. I have an eye on ye." The patrol rumbled over the asphalt on the way down-town. . Warburton buried his face In his hands. Several times they passed a cigar-store, and his mouth watered for a good cigar, the taste of a clear Havana. He entered the police-court, not lacking in curiosity. It was his first experience with III is arm of the civil law. He wasn't sure that he liked it. It wasn't an inviting place with Its bare benches and its motley, tawdry throng. He was plumped into a seat between some - ladies of irregular habits, and the stale odor of intoxicants, mingling with cheap perfumery, took away the edge of his curiosity. "Hello, pretty boy; jag?" asked one of these faded beauties. In an undertone. She nudged him with her elbow. "No sweetheart," he replied, smiling in spite of himself. "Ah gowan! Been pinching some one's wad?" "Nope!" "What are you here for, then?" "Having a good time without anybody's consent.. If you will listen, you will soon hear all about it." "Silence there, on the bench!" bawled the clerk, whacking the desk. "Say. Marie." whispered the woman to her nearest neighbor. "Here's a boy been selling his master's harness and got pinched." "But look at the sweet things coming in, will you! Ain't they swell, though?" whispered Marie, nodding a skinny, feather toward the door. Warburton glanced indifferently in the direction Indicated, and received a shock. Two women and both wore very heavy black veils. The smaller of the two inclined her body, and he was sure that her scrutiny was for him. He saw her say something irto the ear of the companion, and repeat it to one of the court lawyers. The lawyer approached the1 desk, and in his turn whispered a few words, into the judge's ear. The magistrate nodded. Warburton was conscious of a blush of shame. This was a nice position for any respectable woman to see him in! "James Osborne!" called the clerk. An officer beckoned to James, and he made his way to the prisoner's box. His honor looked him over coldly. '"Name?"

"James Osborne.' "Born here?" . "say w.- ''V'rrrnTOgtTfi "No,8ir." "... - - "Where were you born? "In New York State." "How old are you? And don't forget to say 'sir' when you reply to my questions." "I am 28. sir." . 1 "Married?" "No, sir.' "How long have you been engaged as a groom ?" v "Not very long, sir." "How long?" "Less than 24 hours, sir." Surprise rippled over the faces of the audience on the benches. "Humph! You are charged with dis orderly conduct, reckless driving, and attempted abduction. The last charge has been withdrawn, fortunately for you, sir. Have you ever been up be' fore?" "Up, sir?" "A prisoner In a police-court." "No, sir." "Twenty-five for reckless driving and ten for disorderly conduct; or 30 days." "Your Honor, the horses ran away." "Yes, urged by your whip." "I was not disorderly, sir." 1 ''The officer declares that you had been drinking." ' "Your Honor, T got the wrong car riage. My number was 17 and I answered to 71." He wondered if she would believe this statement. "I 'suppose that fully explains why you made a rare-track of one of our main thoroughfares?" sarcastically, TELLS BY THEIR SLEEP "I can tell by my little ones' sleep when a cold is coming on" said a mother when speaking of the advance symptoms of colds in children. " They toss about, are restless, their breathinp-is heavv and there are symptoms of night sweats. The next morning I start with Scott's Emulsion. The chances are that in a day or two they are all over it. Their rest is again peaceful and the breathing normal." Here's a suggestion for all mothers. Scott's Emulsion always has been almost magical in its action when used as the ounce of preven tion. Nothing seems to overcome child weakness quite so effectively and quickly as Scott's Emulsion.

"Yen 'fr on the wrong carriage to begin wUh." ' "All I can say, sir. Is that it was

a mistake." "The mistake came In when you left your carriage to get a drink. You broke the law right then. Well. If a man makes mistakes, be must pay for them, here or elsewhere. This mistake will cost you $35. "I haven't a penny In my clothes. sir." ' "Officer, lock him up, and keep him locked up till the fine is paid. I can not see my way to remit It. - Not another, word " as Warburton started to protest. "Marie Johnson, Mabel Tyner, Belle Lisle!" cried the clerk. The two veiled ladies left the court precipitately. James, having been ushered into a cell, hurriedly called for pen and ink CALLED FOR PEN AND INK. and paper. At half after ten that J morning the following note reached me: "Dear Chuck: Am In a devil of a scrape at the police court. Tried to play a joke on the girls last night by dressing up in the groom's clothes. Got the wrong outfit, and was arrested. Bring $35 and a suit of clothes the quickest ever. And, for mercy's ake, say -nothing to any one, least of all the folks. I have given the name of James Osborne. Now, hustle. Bob. I hustled. (To be Continued.) Bent Her Double.

From this terible affliction I was rescued by Electrie Bitters, which restored my health and strength, and now 1 ean walk as straight as ever. They are simply wonderful."

W. OflUTE WARNS

CORPORATE GREED KANSAS EDITOR SATS SENTIMENT TOR FAIR PLAY IS GENERAL. MUST GIVE UP PRIVILEGES Producing Class Should Heed Demands for More Equitable Division of Wealth. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 23. Dire things which are bound to happen to the "man with ten talents who uses the laws of this country to legalize his robbery of the man with one tal ent,' were talked of by William Al len White, at the Knife and Fork club dinner. lie didn't propose, however, that the man with the ten talents should he compelled to jive up nine of them to the man with one. All he asked and all he declared the people asked, was an even break for every man no matter what his talents. The economic basis of our legal and, industrial system up to now had concerned only one phase of the handling of wealth, he said. Now he wants the other phases to be given attention, and as a warning of what might happen if this were not done he declared: "If corporate greed does not heed sentiment like the Kansas sentiment it may have to cope with something distinctly more distasteful.' xor a generation the laws we have passed in America have con cerned chiefly the production of wealth. We have thrown every safeguard around the producer. We have made every exemption possible to those who were accumulating cap ital. Now we have come to v the point where we are ready to make laws which will guarantee to citizens an equitable distribution of the com mon wealth. s. "We are all, Americans rich and 4 poor and the poor of todav are the rich of tomorrow, and the rich of today are the poor of tomorrow all except those who enjoy speeiaf privileges. It is those fellows that the movement is against, no$. only in Kansas, but all over the nation. The class must be destroyed by destroying the special privileges which make the class. That can be done , only by revising and bringing down to modern conditions the laws, and the fundament of laws made for a society which did not know the ex tra tlegal power of corporate wealth amassed in vast sums and used to control the government against the people. "The present movement is not has

jjjed on envy of theUjrains of the man

of this elass; it is based on a desire to see other men with the same grade of brains, but who are operating out side of the privileged class, go forward to great things and enjoy all the comforts and luxuries that their brains should jniarantee them."
