LITTLE xx-x$xxxx-x-xx-xxx , 1122, by McClure N.wspaper Syndicate. This story Is going to be about a girl and a railroad and a few other tilings. Ralpha Thomas the girt through school, and home In Brenton, living on the sleepy, beautiful street with colo nial houses on both sides, had been wishing for two things with a venge ance. The things hadn't come, but the Eastern Branch railroad had, sud denly. It had also bought and paid for Its right to cross Brenton's aristo cratic thoroughfare, staid old families notwithstanding, and In so doing had incidentally and quite unconsciously tied Itself up with Ralpha Thomas' two wishes. First, Ralpha wanted something to happen, anything 'most, from a bal loon ascension to a new kind of cereal; and second, Ralpha wanted to prove somehow that she could do something besides eat, sleep, look pretty, and play lady for her doting father and mother. So, she went hunting, found something interesting unusually Interesting made plans, and put them up to her father, with results as follows: "It's preposterous I A Brenton Thomas doing such a thing! Why, It's worse than your last threat to act for moving pictures!" said father, his fingers meeting precisely over patched knees. Ralpha plumped herself on the patches. "It's not fair to lose all the fun on earth because you're a Brenton Thomas, dad," she pleaded. "Have you spoken to your mother about it?" ' "Mother said it was a joke, and I'd soon get over it. She said nobody but men er tended railroad crossings, anyway. I won't get over It, though. Henry Jones, . the crossing man, can't work any longer, men are scarce and" "Here I have looked forward to your marriage to some prosperous let us say, writer, and now you're daring to think of being a crossing tender!" groaned the squire. "Exactly!" beamed Ralpha. "A crossing tender. Sit In the dinky little crossing house by the hot little stove. Then when the train whistles, dash out and hold up the sign with 'Stop' on It." "Stop !" said Squire Thomas. "Exactly," said Ralpha. "Stop every thing that's likely to get In the train's way. It isn't as If there were lots of trains, either, I'd be on duty at seven, off at seven at night. Time off at noon. Nice salary. Bigger later, maybe, If well, If " Ralpha had the grace to blush, though at the time her father did not know why she blushed. Father tried another tack. "You do not consider the lives that would be In your hands, Ralpha. You are flip pant. You'd have to do more than listen for whistles. What that young Jones put such notions Into your head for" "Henry Jones is all right!" said Ralpha Thomas, emphatically. "What did he leave his crossing Job for, then? Good Job for him! What did he come to Brenton for In the first place? Where did he come from." Ralpha evaded the question. "Oh, please, dad," she pleaded. "Let me Just try." "No, Ralpha, no I" But, being Ralpha, she did, of course; In fact, In a couple of days Squire Thomas found himself telling two of his friends that daughter: thought It would be an interesting ex periment, the authorities considered her dependable, a godsend as It were, and so on and on. So all Brenton was converted, thought It was a Jolly Idea, liked to see the bright-haired girl holding the black and white "Stop," at the little crossing, and called at the little gray house and told her so. Ralpha was happy as a June day. The signals were magic things, the green and red and white lights that pricked the darkness, the round flare af the engine like a great sunburst out of nowhere, the tapering threads of track, the puffs of smoke and steam with the sunlight playing on them, the shrieks of the whistle, the big healthy rumble and roar, the hurry ing folks, waving their hands, maybe, from hundreds of passing windows. Oh, it was great! It got into Ralpha's blood, Just the way it had been in tended that it should. And, at the very start, the man ap peared. He had a brand new office In the city five miles from Brenton, and a home In the country, three miles north. He drove a brave, trusty car that slid through the snow like a friendly bob, and from the day Ralpha took up her new work, he always waited at that Brenton crossing, In the morning for the up accommoda tion to plod by, and In the evening for the down accommodation. Naturally, he talked with Ralpha, while she held the "Stop" sign, and afterwards. Grad ually they made astonishing plans, as had also been Intended. The man's name was Norton. He was large, dark, rich, had fascinating business connections, and was obviously Inter ested In Ralpha Thomas. He brought her books to read. Ralpha was thrilled; read them from cover to cover. It wasn't all she did. Among other things she signed a contract. Oh, things were happening, all right. "Good work," said the station agent to Ralpha, after the first month not about Norton's plans, but about the way Ralpha tended the crossing. "Fine you got permission for this other business, too!" "Sh-h 1" warned Ralpha. "Mum ! It's awfully good of the railroad, of course, but think of the boost It'll be for Brenton. And I'm not neglecting my crossing." The test-day came. It was after noon, one minute before schedule time for the 5 :16 express. It always passed the down accommodation at Brenton or between Brenton and the first sta tion down the line. It would pass at Brenton tonight. Ralpha was ready for It standing erect, alert, the black "STOP" held firmly In her hands, a new tingle in her fingertips. Up to the street chugged the brave and trusty car that meant that Norton was, as usual, on time to wait for the down accommodation. Down the street, riding his white horse was Henry Jones. Ralpha stood straight and small, "Stop," held high above her head. The express shrieked at the first curve. Jones' horse reared, the brakes on Norton's car evidently refused to work. It was Just as If all the perverse fates on earth were gath ering right there round that brave "STOP," to' see to it that Ralpha's wish came true, and something hap pened. Something dldt After It happened, presto. Squirt Thomas himself descended on the scene. From the corner grocery ha had been watching his daughter and Norton and the down accommodation more closely than anybody knew. Now he was right on hand, kicking the pieces of Norton's car out of tha way, so he could get to Ralpha, and snatching her out of several men's arms with worthy vim. As a matter of fact, however, Ralpha didn't appear to be hurt, and she did appear might ily surprised, to say the least. "O, dad, whatever did you have to turn up now for?" she groaned, "It's all Norton's fault," glowered father, meaning the accident. "I jumped," said Norton cheerfully. "Not a scratch." "Worse luck I" raved father. "That Jones chap's to blame, then. If he'd stuck to his Job In the first place, Ralpha wouldn't ' "I've stuck, all right," said Henry Jones. "You bet. But we'll have to do this thing over again anyway, Squire. Just a test, for lights and things. Greatest thing ever. Aristo cratic old town, railroad crossing main street, pretty girl crossing ten der, all full of love for the railroad. Dandy night pictures we've got train coming, Ralpha standing there, you betl Tried crossing stunt myself, y'know, at first, so I could write my synopsis better. Norton here, direc tor, new corporation In the city. Thls'll make a five reel, with all the other stuff we've " Suddenly the Squire noticed a men acing click click from near by. "What's that?" he demanded. "Moving picture machine, of course. Camera man's still at it Thinks we can use this for the real thing I guess. Been looking long time for an aristocratic father, Squire Thomas. You wouldn't Oh, but, Ralpha said you wanted her to marry a prosperous writer. Great little actress she is. Hasn't she worked! Five year con tract signed. Salary raised twice. You wouldn't mind being my father-in-law sometime In a picture and in real life" "STOP !" thundered the Squire, but nobody seemed to hear him. NATURE KIND TO OLD MAMMY Tessia Explain Why She j-Us No Need to Waste Her Substance) on Milliners. Tessle is the fashionable washer woman par excellence. There was a time when she used to be a regular old Southern mammy, but now she's so stylish she never wears the same hat for more than a week. Tessle dotes on them, talks about them all day long while washing and laundering the family's linen, and sometimes wears them when hanging out the wash on the roof. But Just how Tessle managed to wear so many different hats became a mystery. Her salary would never per mit such extravagance. None of the hats was a "hand me down" or made over. So there was nothing else to do but to put the question up to her. "Where do I buy man hats?" she repeated. "Why, I don't buy 'em; natchur gives 'em to me." When Tessle was accused of spoof ing she explained bow nature sheu Its generosity upon her. Tessle, It seems, seeks windy neighborhoods. "Las' week," said Tessle, "I got that velour tam when it was blown offn a woman rldin' on the L. This here beaver sailor came a-rollln' down Third avenue In that wln'storm the other day. But mah best gift from natchur was blown offn Riverside drive fire escape. It was a red and orange turban with a emerald hatpin In It." New York Sun. Auto Wheelbarrows.

It is a name he adopted for more reasons than one, and was the one he used as a writer. He had very many others that he appropriated at various pe riods of his life, for he was of such a villainous character that he was- al most continually in trouble and as sumed! one nanus after another to throw the authorities off his track.
