New York an excellent address. Detective Calls. One da,y a heavy-set. keen lookinc man met him as he left his home at 11 Oliver st. "Good moraine. Mr. liofrano- I am assigned to you," said the straneer. "h, I can take care of myself. You needn't bother." "Those are my orders." "Well, then, come alone." All through the day Detective Franklin, an expert underworld sleuth, followed tlie So. 00 a year city official, lie accompanied him to his doorstep at nieht. This went on day after day. Sometimes Franklin's side partner relieved him. hut Mr. Rofrano could not eo out without beine guarded. Finally he grew so annoyed that he complained to Capt. Deevy, Franklin's superior. Deevy was courteous, but linn. Hofrano must he guarded. "Put I'm not afraid of anybody." protested Hofrano. lie went higher to the second deputy police commissioner, who is in charge of detectives.

that if it occured in any American city o( 25,00 population the whole nation would watch it. But it's buried In New York's great lower eat side. Indeed, its a big section of the half mililon people on the east side, who don't know anything about it. When in New York look out for the gyps. Don't know what a gyp is? Well, you don't have to fear them unless you attempt to purchase a second hand automoTcV Then watcli your step. The gyps lire the direct descon lents of the old time horse traders. Their tricks are as many as those of the traveling gypsy who would doctor a wheezing, knock-kneed, descripit nag to look like a young thoroughbred. The motor car gyp can also accomplish temporary miracles. Under his deft .Ingers worn down cjiinders and pistons are suddenly brought together and compression seems nearly perfect. Gears that have shrieked and rattled begin to purr like a well fed cat and the victim gets a "demonstration" that is highly satisfactory. How He Works. A gyp sees for instance a fairly pood looking touring ear of the vintage of 1011 in the hands of a dealer. "How much?" he asks. "I'll sell for $650." but after a good hit of dickering the dealer makes it $500. "I think it'll iust suit a friend of mine." says

Mr. Gyp. Iookintr over the classified newspaper-ads the next day we see "Private partv compelled to sll his car (IM4. oast $4,000. for $1,000; all e.juipmert: iust like r.ew. See Gyp. Hotel ii Ho." "Mum be all right if he lives in thnt hotel." the bargain hunter argues. He dnds the gyp in a bv priced hotel room. " -i. ye." said tlie -;yp. "1 have to ijive up my

car. I'm funny about such things always wanted a new ar. My chauffuer keeps them in perfect condition, but I have to get a new one every spring." And so on and so forth. As to "doping" them. graphite mixed with cedar sawdust is used to tame the worn gears in a transmission or differential, while a very hkvy lubricating oil or a mixture containing wax will fill the spaces between piston and cylinder and bring compression almost up to normal.

Washington Stories Hy John Temple Graves

WASHINGTON. March 31. Sec'y Garrison, parrying some requests for "inside information" the other day. saved himself hy this good story of non-committal ignorance: Two darkies walking along the highway were exceedingly anxious to know the time of day. One of them had just purloined a watch, but neither of them knew how to tell the time of day and both were anxious to conceal their ignorance. Said one darkey: "I wish to heaven I knew what time it was." Said the other darkey: "Well, you'se got a watch dar. Why don't yar pull it down an' see de time?" Fumbling uncertainly In his pocket the owner of the wat h pulb d it out. stuck it in the face of his companion and said: 'Well, dar it .: "Donned if it aiv't!" said the oth-r darkey as lie walked away. ne day I a-ked John Sharp Wil

liams, scholar in politics and entirely sincere: "Senator, who is the unrest man you have, known in public life in Washington'.'" The Missisfdppian thought a moment, set down his rlass and replied : "Unquestionably old John Thoriiton of Louisiana. I have known him for 0 years, and in all that tim- i have never known him to fall a h.-tir'a breadth belo.v the level of high civic conscience and of personal integrity in public or private life." "Old John Thornton of Louisiana" retired from public life with the close of his senatorial term on March 4. Hut it is worth all his years in Washington to have' closed his career with such a tribute from such a source. Gen. Albert Mill. of the general staff is a man of wit as well as of war. When h was commandant at West Point a committee of ardent suffragists waited upon him to enlist his sympathy and cooperation. The gallant .:ficcr was as distinctly noncommittal as his superior, the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. "General." said the spokeswoman of the ladies, "have you children?" "Yes. madam." was the rely. "How many?" "Tho regular army allowance, madam just two!" said the commandant. "General:" responded the start! ! suffragist, "do you mean to tell mo thnt the irovernment restricts?" liut the L-allant soldier had h.-sol and mo ed away.
