TIB Fat Man swore a round oath to match Um bulboua contour of his pfcjrfletiiemr while he pointed a stub by and accusing finger at the. vaniah- , ing Eiwer. f - "Look at that blanker blank idiot," ha commanded ; "he ought to be hi iXL- - - - : ' miat's 'the matter with Umr T.

"About the only way, a fellah can keep that from ham '-stole these V days is to carry a ! lot of Insurance . nd take a chance of bein' Junked.' Whatre Jawe forT The Fat Man - demanded heatedly. Whatw the use of hayln em If nobody obeys "em." "Law's made, I . guess," T. Faer chuckled, "for two reasons.' "Where'd you get the two stuff?" the Fat Man asked. "There's only one - excuse for laws being passed In the nrst place." v -.: . Youre old fashioned." X. Paer told him. ' "Lawss passed so some people - can oust 'em nd a lot of soots can get ham "nd eggs trying to catch the goats mat oo it." "I ain't no pessimist.' The Fat Man contended earnestly. "And I hold theyre . made to protect people from idiots, end "criminals that need having the screws put on em. "Nd 1 ain't no pessimist, neither." T: Paer retorted, "but it looks like every time you pass a law everybody .begins to think harder how to beat lt'n they do how to obey It." "They sure do," The Fat Man con ceded. "When they have anything' to do with gasoline or moonshine. "Them's the stuff that makes the wheels of Justice grind," T. Paer an- -',' swered. "If you don't believe it ask the policeman. "The only reason I ain't got a car." . The Fat .Man. confided, "is because ' there's so , many blame fools trying to - get some place before they start it ain't safe any place except on a street car or m a airplane any mere." . Tt would be kinda hard to dodge you," T. Paer grinned, "unless they made the roads wider. It ain't no kidding matter," The Fat Man said mournfully. "If anybody needs to ride on air it's a fellah that's carrying "round a lota excess baggage but you don't like to be punched full of holes every couples miles. "I see," T. Paer remarked, "where ' eome fellah named Raff ety wants to have 'a law passed so he can pinch them that don t fast enough." "That's the way with them speed cops," The Fat - Man; growled. "They think everybody ought to be damned if they do nd. damned, if they don't." .. t : Taap aaiil thearhtfallv. "but I kinda thought Baffety might of bad a durerem, nuncn.

"There ain't no slow drivers rve ever saw since Henry Wemme parked his first one lunger years 'ago i-v''i" - "They au go last anongn, - rrMd - nd sometimes I get to won der! n what all their hurry, IaJ - "Speea, xne .rat m;wowhuu, jUat like boose:; the more you get of it tne more you wni Wall - T Vaer reolied.

"We're all geared .inu tha anted : limit nd we can't go slow without burning up our engine or petting run over oy soma tob. behind us." philosophicaUy. "they don't make no place for parxin aioiig am oh"j 'nd we can't go slow or stop." , rhey s a wnoit m, m Fat Man agreed.

Paer reflected. "Now days we don't think of anything but gettin'-to tne ena or me row soon as possible 'nd we don't make any plans for a punctutre or a blow out." ' "What we need," The Fat Man ar gued, "Is to have It fixed so nobody could go festern the speed limit nd then we wouldn't have so much danger nd trouble." "It can't be did," T. Paer demurred "If nobody went f astern that every bodyd get where they started at the same time nd they wouldn't be no place to park at the eAd of the road." "I guess thafa what's the matter." The ' Fat Man ; sighed. "Everybody's hurrying up to get parked ahead o the fellah behind him." - "That'd be all right," ' T. Paer . said, "If it wasn't that t most of us don't know where we want to park except that it's some place beyond where we . are." !

Oney has been with the forest servtc sine 3811 and until the Irregularities came up, which began in 1930, he was regarded as one of the most efficient and loyal workers inJtbe service. His plans for the recreational development of the Elk lake and Crane prairie re-, gion are. now being carried out in" a large -way. One of Oney's principal , mottoes was : nbe greatest good for the greatest number." and were it not for his efforts, a "portion of Elk lake, which will be -Bsed for public camp grounds, - would have been leased tor summer honge sites which a limited few could have em3oyed. : Oney's trial wUi follow that of Clark. 1 SEFU6ES IO MSIGI : - Seattle, July -!-U.

Yet he had Quietly and unobtrusively made all plans for the patient's comfort. . - ""Mother iat Just as well fixed now aa If she was a rich woman," Jennie remarked. "She would not tell you, for she said you had enough to worry you at the Hollingsheads Just now, but she dreaded axing into a public ward. She knew it waa sUly, but she is nervous, you know, and loves quiet.' "I know it," Adelaide rejoined. "Yet we could not afford to get her such a room as we would want her to have. so I did not suggest it Did she seem hanny.when you left her?" "Yes, she did. Of course, she hated to have me come away, but ahe has a nice nurse, and she knows that you and I will come over to see her after the operation tomorrow."

' ' "Does she know yet about her daughter?"' the young girl inquired curiously. "She does not realise what hss hap pened," Adelaide evaded. - . She could not bring herself to tell her little sister how she (Adelaide) must impersonate the dead girl. She preferred that Jennie .be kept in ignor ance of 'thia Later Adelaide would explain it all to her mother. Until then: she would hold her peace on the subject. The two sisters talked until late into the night. Hester Mortimer came in, chatted for a few moments, then went to. her room. , , At last Adelaide arose from the easy chair in which she had been rest ing. ' .'It is very late, child. she an nounced, "and you must go to school tomorrow morning.' -J should not have kept you up until - this hour. Hurry i and get to bed." ; 1 But Jennie lingered. It was evi dent that there-waa something on her mind of which she wished to speak. "I waa wondering, sister," she said, hesitatingly "if I.mightnot stay at home from school just for tomorrow? You see it is the day of mother's operation and X shall be anxious and Tit will be easier if X am here with you instead ot at school among a lot i of people wha do not care where I will have to work over my lessons " But the older girl shook her heed. "No, my dear. It wHl not be easier for you if you stay . at home and do nothing," aha contradicted. "The best remedy for worry is hard work. I shall be here to get any news that comes. I shall telephone the hospital right after luncheon, and by the. time you get home from school, I shall have all the facts for you." ' Jennie looked disappointed,' yet ahe made no further demur. Adelaide patted her cheek affectionately. "I tell you what I will do, little sister." she suggested. "I will help Hester get breakfast in the morning. and will let you sleep until the last minute possible 'before calling' you to get dressed."- ; "Thank your Jennie smiled. "That will be fine.

Instead, she lay awaka thinking of her mother, of the coming operation, of Dr. Carter's kindness, c - ', - ' ! ' - She tried to hush the small voice that whispered that tha physician was kind to Mrs. Brown because of his interest' m Mrs. Brown's daughter. No he was kind because ha was sorry for anyone who wss anxious just as Richard Hollingshead had been kind tonight, probably , for the same rea son. '. - That was all.
