W. I'urvla, dealer lu hldra, pelts, tallow and beet was, left I'euaacola bound for Kt. l.ouls. Hut aoim-tlmea there la mora to a raaual Journey to St. Louis than ap peara In the column devoted to "City llrevltles and Newa of the Streets." Let ua, therefore, violate the Inter state eotnuierre rommlaalon ruling on that subject, and ride free and unob served wllb the well-known I'ensa- cola dealer In hides and pelt a, tallow and beetwsi. Nothing of greater pith occurred between Fenaacola and Mobile than the minor Interruptions of a young man with a seinl-unlform, who bad viands and magasloea to aell, fur Mr, I'urvla, with thrift, cboae to ride la a day coach. At Mobile there boarded the train one "Oriole Joe" Maiey. It would not be a had guess to venture that Oriole Joe" carried In bla satchel an ordinary gold brick of commerce, whose cure, were It pierced by a sus pecting gimlet, would have ataayed heavily In lead. Ilia purpose In getting on at Mobile waa twofold to avoid tha awakened attention of the police, and 19 aell one gold brick to the beat commercial advantage. "Oriole Joe" entered the car and aUrd up the orcupante. lie waa quick to note the truatlng eye and the, re reding chin of the I'enaacotan. In tha third aeat beyond, ha also observed another promising-looking prospect Truly, this began to look like a pros perous sally Into the marta of trade, and be bemoaned the fact that bla ettreme tiovertv tirevented bla our- tawae of lead euhVlrnt for two mar ketable bricks. With one. It waa a queatlon of choosing between Purvis and the other prospect, a farmer who bad just settled a mortgage on his borne and waa heading for New Or leans to buy an automobile. Drawing a coin from hla pocket, he designated I'urvla. the pelt dealer, "tails," and the farmer who pined for rapid locomotion, "hrada.". There waa a trifling apln of the diet. Maxry ob served tbe result with aatlafled amlle, and forthwith atruck up an ac quaintance with the farmer. Knsulng eventa have no Interest ex cept to a New Orleans automobile dealer, whose well-devised plan of follow-up letters fallctl to bring In a promising prospect Juat when be eeemed cinched. Mlaa Celeate Adair, very attractive, though overdressed, boarded the train of Mr. Purvla of I'enearola, at New Orleana. ticketed oatenalbly for Mer idian. Put she had something more In view than a short smoky ride upon the cars. Briefly and bluntly, Mlaa Adair waa low In funda. Life In New Or leana la eipenalve, and the young woman, being a devotee of certain re fined palaces of chance, longed for the wherewithal to make an uphill climb against Luck. Her object In taking a trip at this time waa to make the acquaintance of some married person of home-town respectability, from whom funda might be drawn by that Inelegant but often effective proced ure of blackmail. Mlaa Adair cboae the day coach aa tha moat likely Held for ber endeavors. Scarcely bad tbe train left New Or leans when aha observed Mr. I'urvla. Here, In all Innocence, waa game. He looked Just prosperous enough to stand for about a 1-50 monthly gouge for perhaps a year, before threshing It out over bla own lares and penatea, and then appealing to the police. Mr. I'urvla, uneouacloua of the unkind achrme, scanned tha quotatlona of tbe Hide and Pelt Dealer's Guide. Miss Adulr made ber aurvey more Inclusive. The car yielded, however, but one other proapect a professor perhaps, In a small school, or pastor tending the spiritual grsilng of small-town flock. From either ot the two men the adventuress felt that there might be an Income derived. It waa a matter of no consequence to her which one paid. Being a follower In tha ragged train of Chance aha left It to her fickle hlghneaa. Thrusting a dainty finger between the pases of a bonk aha carried, aha agreed with herself that If the nuin ber under her hand proved to be an even numeral Mr. Purvla ahould by that edict be chosen to rehabilitate the lowering funda of the young woman; If Jhe numeral were odd, the distinc tion would descend upon the dignified gentleman with the clerical costume. At Meridian, a man with beetling brow and formidable chin boarded tha train and hurriedly approached tha aeat where Miss Adair aat In mirthful conversation with ber companion There were harsh words spoken low, Threats of divorce proceedings with corresponding publicity were effec tively voiced. Borne agreement waa reached, and Mlaa Adair accompanied her beetle-browed confederate back to New Orleans on tha next train. The president ot a little college for girls over near tha Alabama Una la sending her S200 each month with wblcb aha la alowly recuperating her sunken Meridian added a few passengers to the train list, among them Harvey Collier, suavity Itself. Dreased styl ishly, manicured, polished and per fumed, be seemed out of place in tne dingy day coach. Hut It waa a ques tion of business with him, and be lost no time to setting about bla work. Standing In the doorway of the car. he slued up the field. Observing Mr i'urvla of i'ensscola, be smiled. He almost went forward to taka the va cant bait of the seat, without further preliminaries. A second glance, though, revealed another promised dividend. Acroas the cue and forward, sat a atout pusaenger, beglrdled by a heavy gold watch chain. Collier had a proposition In wblcb be felt either might be Interested. But complications might arise If he at tempted to Interview them both. Collier, being weak on matters re quiring Instant decision, left the prob lem to Chance, Ingeniously. If tlie next station bore a name of one syl lable, be proposed to Interest Mr. Pur vla In bla scheme, If of two tjINMe or more, the stout gentleman with i.if auriferous girdle waa to be ap proached. The next atatlon waa liar tbolomew, and two boura later Har vey Collier left the train at an ob scure town in northern Mississippi, and the beglrdled stout man puruaed'a deed, reciting a conalderatlon of wn. cath In band, paid for certain city lota In tbe town of Bubaqua, located, hod he but knovAj, twenty miles out Id the Gulf of Mexico, Without further Incident, early morning brought the train to St. Loula, and the bide dealer from Florida, mora wearied than rested by an awk ward sleep gained while be crouched bla angular aelf between restating seata, arose, stiffened from bla ungain ly slumbers, and walked, blinking. Into the atatlon. Remaining just long enough at a convenient lunch counter to engulf a cup of coffee, be wandered aimlessly In a direction whicb he Imagined would bring blra into the bualneaa aeetlon of the city. At Ave o'clock a. m. in outlying streets little traffic stirs la St Loula Hut at a darkened corner two men stood In tha shadow and observed whatsoever might be moving. They saw tha approaching Mr. Purvla and noted with satisfaction that be wore In the bosom of hla aeventy-flve-oent shirt a diamond stud, which aparkled s-ayiy. . The shadowed ahadowa decided upon aeliure and forfeiture. A mln,ute or so, tod the prise waa almost within grasp; being merely a question of a quick blow Iq the back of the man'a head, a hasty pinch at the shirt bosom and a epeedy getaway. Clow came the prey Suddenly "Ip Eared" Hunt whispered: 'Nuttln' doln' tonight bo I I've lost the rabbit's foot out of me pocket 1" Which goes far In explaining why Mr. I'urvla, In perfect good health and humor, much refreshed by hla walk from tha atatlon, came Into the Conti nental hotel, aroused a aleepy Bight clerk and inquired for a room. Tbe Continental .had but two empty rooma for the price at which Mr. Purvla desired to be boused. They were numbered. If you chance to be Interested In aurh trifling statistics, 1323 and 131.1 Given but two chances, with the necessity of making a choice, tha clerk became vacillation personi fied. Me eeemed unable to select First bla hand stretched for the key to room 1313, and back again to No, 1323. At that moment bell boy No. 13, seeking instructions relative to Ice water desired, urgently, by a bibulous reservoir In No. 417, rame within view of the hesitant clerk. He aaw the boy'a badge with Ita emblaxoned "13" and considered the matter settled pro pitiously, handed key No. 1313 to the menial who had charge of the new guest's solitary suitcase shabby se curity for a much-desired ransom. "Please call ma at eight o'clock In the morning," the Pensacolan admnn lahed aa be vanlahed toward the ele vator. At eight o'clock, a dutiful servant rapped lightly on tha door of Room 1313. No response rame, and the rap ping increased In rapidity and vigor. Still no response. There came through tbe transom a wispy odor of fugitive gas. Quickly apprehensive (gas being expensive), the boy summoned hla superiors, and tha door waa unlocked with a key aent up from the deak. There waa an un deniable presence of gaa. It wasn't even necesasry to light a match to find tha point of escape, for a low biasing from a pipe In the corner of the room gave a quick clew to tha break. After pausing to shut off the supply at the point ot lntnke, tha hotel servant! gave attention to the unconacloua fig ure on tha bed. Life existed In the crumpled heap of humanity, but at a low ebb. Physicians were aummoned, restoratives were placed In operation, and very alowly the gentleman was brought back from tha hem of the hereafter. A reporter, Inquisitive aa hla clan must ever be, sought In addition to Information gleaned from tha hotel register, to learn more thoroughly the subject matter for hla first yarn of the day. With no pang of Impropri ety be searched the clothing of the man who waa being reauacltated. In an upper veat pocket tha reporter found a card which ehnll be read In your presence and tha reading ahull end tha tale. Tha card proclaimed tha uncon acloua man to be: 0. W.

By Wrgaret Morison OLD FRIENDS TXTHEK Peg's train gave ber. after twenty yeara, a couple of hours to spend In the city where she had been brought up, ahe telegraphed three of her oldeat friends to meet ber at Port's, that famous old caterer's, for whose Ices and frap In her exile from the land of Ler birth ahe bad ao often sighed. They bad all come In from the country on their receipt of Pegs message on that hot day, and Ann had actually deserted her home and family for an afternoon. There they waited, Ann and Nan and Fan, and wondered if Peg'a train had been late, for they had the big place to themselves except for a stranger yeara younger than they, at another little round table acrnaa the room. "I dare aay that Peg tan't aa quirk In getting about aa ahe used to be," euggested Nan, who waa rheumatic at forty, bookish, who never walked If she could ride, and who liked ber full four courses at breukfaat. I hope she hasn't had a giddy turn. or anything of that sort," foreboded Nan, who considered herself a dl gestlve Invalid, who lived In a aoclat whirl, who never walked If she could ride, and who picked at her food. Perhaps ahe changed her mind,' said Ann, who wsa neurasthenic, bad no taalea of ber own, never walked If she could ride, ajid waa house-kept with a cook book and a treatise on diatetlca. Juat then the stranger from across the room approached Them: "la It- are you by any chance can this beT she hesitated, glancing from one to another ot the three distinctly middle aged and rather hiavy ladlea before ber. "Peg!" they all cried together, and made room for her at the table. Then, when all the conventional questions Dad Deen Baked and an swered. Nan began: "My dear, how do you miinuge to look ao ao active!" "So bloomlngr put In Fun. "And ao young!" ended Ann. Peg hesitated for a moment and then she said. "I am active, and If I look bltviiulng and young, aa you aay, It'a for that reason. My huttliaml and I walk ten mllea In the country every Sunday. "We believe In the finhlt of exer cise," went on Peg, wanning to her subject. "When there's skating, we're out on the Ice an hour every after noon before dinner. In summer we go swimming on hot evenings at a beach, a ahort rldefrom the city. We've fit ted up our hack yard aa a playground for the children, and 'at our age' learning to piny baseball. The chll dren are going to ride and anil, too we ourselves haven't been able to af ford that. I hope they will even fly !' Her contemporaries slumped In upon themselves; bewildered and dull-eyed, aa Peg ended: "This country muat look out with all her hnrdhendedneas If ahe doesn't want to become a soft nation. We can't dlaregnrd the habit of exercise and not pny the penalty.' HAVE YOU THIS HAIUT? (9 by Uatropolltnn Nawapapar Barvtoa.) ( fey MoClars Nawapapar Bradloate.)
