Automobile Antagonists By CARL JENKINS I'hllllti Crnnston wns ilrlvlng his ntitomobllo along n highway In tho Derkahlrea nt n gnlt of ton mllon nn liour ami smoking a clgnr o plcasa nnd sqotho, whon Miss W'lnnlo Grn hnm npponred In a cloud of dust In an other auto nnd whlzzejl by h!m at a gait of 30 tulles nnd missed him by less than a foot Thoy looked Into ench olhor's faces for n second, nnd they' felt Immodlato nntngonlsni. ono to tho other ho because she wns reckless and had her chin In tho nlr. nnd wns good looklni; nnd know It nnd she because she saw reproof In his eyes nnd hnd no patience with a man who would crawl along when ho could ns easily fly. They had boon staying nt tho samo hotel for two days without seeing each other. That evening they woro Intro uuced. Thoy had thu opportunity to Tcrer in n laughing way to tho Incident on the rond, but nelthor of them did. On tho contrary, thoy bristled at oach ouicr. "That young man thinks every girl ought to bo n poke, llko his slstors." was tho mental comment of tho young woman, 'That person Is wilful as woll .as reckless, and rather conceited to hoot," wns tho mental comment of the young man, Tho antagonism was thcro and both felt It, but thoy didn't groan nnd snnrl nnd threaten. Oh, no! Thoy would have dono It In tho dnys of Adam, but times hnvo changed. Thero was ono little outbronk of sarcasm ns they chat ted nnd sized up each other and looked for troublo. Mr. Cranston quietly asked: "Does It happen that you drlvo nn nuto 7" Thero was nn Accent on tho word drlvo which meant thirty or forty in I Lif, tl 1 1 1 ' I - 1 1 JJ II "I Know You'd Da Itl" miles nn hour and throo or four farm rs seared to death. "Oh, no I cruwl along In ono!" was tho reply. Tho accent was on tho crawl, nnd Mr. Crnnston smiled where ho wanted to grit his teeth. Tho Immediate re sults of tho antagonism wero that Miss Winnie determined to spued Thenever she went out on tho road, Just to bo Independent, and Mr. Crnns ton determined to crawl along, just to show that her Jlbo had glanced off his armor. Out of two hundrod guests at tho big hotel, and out of twenty nuto. Uts theao wero the only two who felt quarrelsome. Othor nutolsts would como In after a spin and congratulate MUs W'lnnlo on her nerve and daring, out Mr. Cranston would sit thero with Tcproof spread all over his faco. Other ladles, old and young, who had been out motoring would come back to speak of him as a senslblo young man for maintaining a slow and easy fnlt, and a smllo of contempt could be no- 1lced on a certain face for half an hour after. Tho best road from tho hotel, and the one Invariably taken by the nuto lsts, led to the west Ten miles away, at tho foot of a long hill, stood the farmhouse of ono Mr. Jones, There were other farmhouses, but Mr. Jonoa was the farmer fated to become en tangled in the affairs of the two young persons. One day as Mr. Crans ton had started out for a "crawl," and as Miss Winnie had sped past him In her usual manner, almost ticking his -wheels and looking straight ahead, Fanner Jones hold up his hand for the "crawler" to stop and then said: "Does it happen that you know that girl who went by here like a streak of lightning a few mln'.ts ago?" "Why, yes. Sho is stopping at the Hill Top." "Say, now she ought to be sent to Jail I Almost every day she comes along here on the whizz and it's enough to raise your hair. She's killed three chickens, two geese and a turkey. She's knocked down a calf and tbrowed a bog over the fenco, and Just now the wind of her machine blew my bat off. You tell her that she's got to stop It." "Iteally, but I shouldn't llko to carry any such message," was the reply, "Then Til build a rail fence across the road and stop her and talk to her myself. Ob, I can talk when I get mad, and I'm mad now! I'll tell ber what's what, and If she Easses back I'll make her pay for the damage she's done. I'm going to bo watching out for her when sho comes back. This whizzing has got to stop." Mr, Cranston "crawled" on in secret satisfaction. He didn't want anything serious to happen to the other party, but a fence across the road and a good talking to by a toll-hardened agrieul- turlst might humbto her. He Jogged along for 15 miles nnd thon pulled out of the road undor n tree and wnitod. Ho had taken Bolld comfort for an hour when sounds aroused him. Ho also saw dust. Ho nlso saw a young lady bonrlng down on him horn tho other direction In nn auto.

Sometimes thoro woro half n dozen sportsmen thoro nt onco from Now York nnd Uroaklyn nnd they had boon known to como from Uoston, nnd they spent their money freely nnd mndo no objection to anything. An Audnbon club would anger them nnd keep them nway, Suppoio thoro was a stnto law about it? Thoro woro n hundred other stnto laws that wdra not obeyed The little echoolmn'am hnd not only formed nn Audabon club, but sho was going to prosecuto nil cases.

" When what they called the season opened, tho little school mn-am found she hnd but ono pupil sho could de pend on to aid her. It was white- nnlrcd' squint-eyed Johnny, twelve years old. Ho didn't caro a cent for tno uiniB, out uo qui ior me teacner. He had fallen in love with hor tho first day. He knew that loyalty to her meant lickings at homo, but loyalty and lickings meant being a hero. And so Johnny kept his eyes open, nnd one Saturday morning ho appeared at tho ocboolma'am's boarding house to say: "Fellow down on tho point shootln' gulls! He's just a-poppln them for keeps!" "And havo you been down there?" was asked. "Yes, ma'am. Stood right near hlra whilo he shot two gulls." "Did you tell him we had an Auda bon club?" "Yes; but he went at It and shot an other gull I Ho don't care a hang for our club!" "Is be a stranger?" "For euro. Oreat big follow with an ugly mug on hlra. Maybe he's broke Jail somewhere. You get a warrant and I'll be a witness. Don't let him bluff us. He's Just going to shoot and shoot till there ain't a gull left!" The little scboolma'am put on her bat and went with Johnny to the Jus tice of the peace. He groaned as he saw them approaching. He knew the law, and must iasuo a warrant and impose the penalty, but hla neighbors would look nt him aakanco for doing his sworn duty. Johnny told his story, and Miss Nina demanded a warrant. As it was being made out, the gun of tho sportsman was heard firing on the gulls. The constable wanted to delay serving tho warrant Ho also feared bis neighbors. He was talked to in a way to put springs under his heels. He had. always supposed little women I ft wtro timid, Hesitating creatures and ho was saying "Geo I" to hlmsolf ns he started off with the wnrrnnt. Johnny followed on. Ho hnd novor seon n mnn nrreated, nnd tho oppor tunity had come llesldes, that con stable wasn't going to bo given a chance to go off fishing, leaving tho guilty to mnko his escape from tho United States. Tho null-shootor was to bo tnken red-handed, nnd If ho didn't go to tho electric chair it wouldn't bo tho boy'tf fault Ho In tended to swenr hnrd enough. Mr. deorgo Lawrence of Now York had como up to tho South tiny for a fortnight's recreation. Ho know tho rules of tho throo or four cluba ho bo longed to, but ho novor paid much at tention to stnto law. No ono hnd said ho mustn't shoot birds, llo had a bIs tcr who had taken up taxidermy as a fad, nnd ho hnd promised to bring hor specimens. Ho had shot and oecured fivo gulls whon tho constnblo renched him, Tho ofllccr had lost his enthusiasm, but Johnny had not Ho had gained moro. Ho ran on nhend, and seizing tho shootor by tho arm ho called out: "Tho Bchoolma'am nnd I arrest you for shootln' gulls, nnd if you stir hand or root Mood will flow I" It took somo tlmo to explain things to tho guilty pnrty, but when it wns all clear to him ho willingly went along with tho omcor. Tho Justice put tno enso ror two o clock In tho after noon, nnd it was not until that hour thnt Miss Nina saw tho prisoner. Bho hnd mennwhllo boon hnnlonlng hor heart Sho hnd n montnl plcturo of "n big follow with an ugly mug on him," nnd sho would show him no morcy. Sho got n surprise when sho emtio Into court Tho prUoner wns not n great big mnn, ho wns not ugly. In fact, ho looked llko n gontlomnn. Ho wns nlso In n soreno distend of n despornto moou. siio hnd scarcely looked nt him when sho bennn to fool sorry over tho situation. Hut It was Johnny who got tho greatest surprlso. Ho would got a licking nnyhow, nnd he determined to enrn an old whoppor. Ho was going on tno stand to swear that ho believed tho prisoner guilty of nt least two mur ders nnd sovornl highway robberies, and that ho expected nothing but a bloody rcslstancu when he helped to nrrest him, but ho wns cut out Whon called to plead. Mr. Lawrcnco not only answered "guilty" but nsked to bo tlnod tho full limit. Ho snld ho was nshnmod of hlmsolf for whnt ho had dono; thnt ho hnd been hecdloss; that It was right to preserve tho birds, nnd thnt ho wanted to Join tho Audnbons nnd prosont tho club with tho sum of fifty dollars to nld It In enforcing tho law Tho llttlo school tnn'nm blushed nnd blushed nnd kept hor oyos on thu floor. Johnny wriggled nnd wtlggtcd nnd wriggled nnd snld to himself In n loud volco: "Oh, w hut's do usol" Tho Juntlco hummed nnd hawed nnd stnmmored nnd flnnlly observed thnt thn oxamplo was a most worthy ono, nnd thnt ho would lot tho defendant oft na onsy ns posslblo undor tho law. Mr, Ijiwronco wns fined nnd pnld ovor tho cash. Somo folks looked to him to got right out of town, but ho didn't go, Ho hnd a duty to perform. It wns to hunt up Miss Nlmv Andorson nnd ro Itorato nil that ho had said In open court, nnd then go on nnd ndd to It Ho did become a mombor of hor club, nnd ho did hand ovor that fifty, and he did mnko It known that ha should hnvo an oyo on any one olso who wns toippted to break the bird law. Ami of courso thnt opened Iho door for Cupid to como In, and ho didn't linger outsldo. Mr. Lawrence had como for n fortnight Ho stnyod a month, and then wont homo to bo back in n week nnd stay longer. He fished nnd shot nnd visited tho school. Ho huntod up and down tho shore for Inw-hronkers and visited tho llttlo schoolma'nm's bonrdlng houso to ro- nort nil well. Things had gono on this way for a long time whon tho toncltor found Johnny with tears in his oyoa nnd asked tho causo, "Whnt I want to know," ho replied as moro tears canto "what I want to know is where do I como In!" Alas, ho was left out In tho cold! Liverpool's Costly Docks, Liverpool's docks, which nro to be further extondud nt n cost of ovor $16,000,000, woro begun In 1709, when tho town constructed tho first wet dock in tho world.
