iou li Just come along, young feller, an' tell the judge what circus you're ballybooin' for!" For a minute he stared in stupefaction. Then he realized what the words meant. He shook his head, too stunned to speak. After everything ai this to be the ignominious end? Due his old- confidence reasserted itself, came to the fore, and brought with It the smile that had already carried him so far. Of course, it was against the law to do this sort of thing inside the city limits.

He hadn't even considered it in his necessity. "Kighto, chief!" he grinned. 'Til gj to any judge you zs, or any jaii. Only, for two seconds, you come with me, will you? This Is my entry into United States, and I want to see if I have any friends left!" With that, paying no particular attention to whether the officer was at "liis side or not, Jimmy tqok a headlong plunge Into the crowd. It wa a laughing crowd, and It broke away for him.

He heard a cry ia his wake, but he kept on, aware that 'other policemen were hurrying tcward the spot Just down the avenue was the club; Jimmy had a luLzy vision of a number of white faces staring eyes, and pointing fingers a cheer. The laughing hysterical crowd carried the policeman along in his wake like a chip tossed by a wave, until Jimmy Brandon, a minute later, was literally washed up on the steps of the Hudson Club. Willing hands caught him; others pulled the infuriated policeman inside the heavy doers after him. In the lobby, stunned by the wild tumult all about him, Jimmy swayed for a second, staring. "Is is Kogers in?" "Not yet!" came a hysterical.

"Jimmy, you've won!" He had won! He drew a long breath. For a moment, there was silence inside the. big doors, while the roar of thy crowd from without seems far away. Everyone was staring at Jimmy Brandon. A smile broke slowly on his face.

He looked about him; everyone was smiling, waiting for him to break the silence. "Well," he breathed, "that's that! I think I really think, gentlemen, that someone ought to offer to buy a drink!" After that, the pandemonium broke loose. The bewildered minion of the law, whose tabloid newspapers had followed Jimmy's flight about the globe, suddenly realized what it all meant, and he was the recipient of half a year's salary within the next ten minutes, from joyful members who had placed their money on tbe proper side of the race. On the shoulders of a dozen of his friends and scores more whom he knew, J(mmy Brandon was carried to the bulletin board and there shown the notice of his reinstatement as a member of the club In justification of his act In having struck his rival at the bar. The bar itself wavered dizsily In front of him a few minutes later.

There were voices, cheers, congratulations which lie knew he would never place until someone said: "Kogers just came in and checked out!" Still rather uncertain from the hectic greeting and his last spurt, Jimmy rushed to the doorway; but It was too late. Rogers had gone. He had not even stopped to congratulate his rival. Jimmy was Just in time to see his heavy-set shoulders vanish around the corner, turning toward the house that faced the north and the' park. He remembered' little after that.

The hours remaining of daylight seemed like a nightmare of newspaper "extra" editions, his nam In elded upon. The old man had made his fortune by his quick decisions. He looked at Egbert, saw that square-set Jaw, and knew that in this he could not move him. "Very well," said he. "Family not good enough for me once!" and then, grimly, "It will be a bit of revenge for me, anyhow." For a full hour after Egbert had left him Frank sat there musing.

Possibly Selina mused too. But If they mused of what might have been neither Frank nor Sellna ever spoke. What was lurking in their minds as they watched the happiness of Egbert and Etta no one ever knew. (Copyright, McClure Newspaper Miss Selina Briggs lived on Cape Cod. To he precis In Sandport.

The house iihe lived in was the real thing In early Colonial architecture it had a "lean-to." The family was small, consisting only of herself and her orphaned niece, Henrietta. Mlus Sellna had squandered her savings in giving Etta an education, even sending her through Wellesley. And now Henrietta was twenty-two, proficient In all accomplishments but conversant with no calling that would bring In money. She laid a thousand plana for becoming a but her aunt "put her foot down" on every one of them. Etta fretted but what could she do? She would not forsake Sellna, even if she could get employment somewhere else whlcb was ex- tremely doubtful.

"I wonder If I shall ever be married," thought Etta. That summer there returned to his boyhood home a Mr, Frank P. Ellsworth, a millionaire from New York. Frank P. had not been seen in Sandport for' forty years until he bad suddenly appeared there, bought the old Bljah Crandal place, and began the erection of a great stone mansion.

He had been twenty-flve when he had gone away and, by consequence, was sixty-five now. There plenty of people who remembered him as the tall, thin, scraggy young man, full of ambition and a hard worker, whose parents were among' the town's poor and shiftless. But not one of them would have recognised In the large, portly, prosperous looking auto-cratio and reserved plutocrat, the Frank Ellsworth of long ago. Every man and woman In the place. It seemed, who was old enough to make out a colorful case, greeted Frank P.

"I wonder If he will go and see Miss Sellna the older people whispered to each other. For between Frank Ellsworth, the poor, struggling and low-born youth, and Sellna Briggs, the pretty daughter of one of the proudest of, the "old families," there had been, It was rumored at the time, a little love affair which, of course, came to nothing on account of the vast difference In the soctal status of the lovers.

Just the same as I cut down Jules Verne's and that of the chap who made It in' thirty-five days. I'm Just coming to realize, I suppose, that the things really lasting value are more diffi. cult to get." Billy Crane held his breath. From his friend, his gate turned slowly to his sister's white face, a certain lurking pain in the depths of her eyes.

His own eyes lighted with a-sudden understanding and he eot hastily to his feet "I think we need a cocktail couple of 'em. In fact," he decided. "Amuse Jimmy, won't you, while I make them." Natalie nodded. When her brother went out, she crossed quietly to th big window, staring out through the filmy lace upon the late afternoon trafflo of Fifth Avenue. For a long time there was silence In the big, deep-set library.

It was she who broke It at last. "So you have chosen, Jimmy?" He looked up. The deep hunger ia his eyes burned out like a living flame as they rested on the Intense, poignant beauty of her. Never to be his another's. His friend's! did the race mean, after all, since it hadn't led to her? He knew too late.

How Ironical It was that It had taken Broadmoor to prophecy that! "I don't know that I've had any particular choice," he said quietly. Looking at her, he found the desire to be near her grow to an overma- tering power. He got up, standing Just behind her. She did not move or turn from her absorbed intereM In the Avenue. "I can thank you now, I suppose, for all you've done," he said.

But Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey, in an able address that is entirely ap- plicable to conditions in some parts of New Jersey, proved conclusively that the new judges were not needed. "If litigants do not want their cases tried, no one can com- i plain," said Justice Cropsey, I "but I know there, are many which have not had the opportunity of being tried." He then condemned the few hours a Nday that the fou judges in the territory worked, saying that if each added one and a half hours each day, the need of two extra would be eliminated.

When I was young and feeling grand, intent on raking In the bones, there was a rival hot dog stand, conducted by a puy named Jones.

This Jones, whose life was void of fun, was living in narrow court, and he had children by the ton, and aunts and nieces to support. His competition made me tired, although he was a good old scout; he got much trade that I desired, and I resolved to run him out. And so I sold my hot dog wares at prices that he could not meet, and laid all kinds of gins and snares in ambush for his weary feet. By stratagems I gained my point, by strataigoms I know were mean; and so one day he cloaeb. his joint, and vanished from that busy scene.

He led away his wife and aunts, his nieces and his children nine, all heaving heartsick sobs and pants this. was th triumph that was mine. For years I had forgotten him, whil people watched my smoke ascend; but now my eyes are weak and dim, and I sni old and near the end. And ever as I rub my bones with liniment for rheumatiz, I'm thinking of the luckless Jones; I often wonder where he is. I'm thinking of his weeping kids as they went trailing down the street, and of his aunts with shabby lids, and nieces with no pio to eat.

This Jones, he haunts me through the day and In my soul creates a fuss, and when at night I hit the hay I dream about the poor old cuss.

BAROXVON MALTZAN. The expression of format regret made by the United States officially upon the untimely death of Baron von Moltzan will find a hsartfelt echo from everyone who has had to do with him since he came to this country as ambassador of the German Republic. He was a diplomat of the old school, very formal, and had been faithful servant of imperial Ger-muny, always with credit to and his country. Ha accepted the verdict of the war and like tm.ny other German leaders of the better class turne-' in to make the best of changed conditions which came. From the day he landed in this country he labored to bring about better understanding between his country and our people and to smooth over and heal the wounds caused by the resort to arms.

He had perfect confidence in the TILT mm ROBBING APARTMENTS. Evidently a gang of apartment robbers are active in Bergen county. Police records in Hackensack and Ridgewood show three distinct cases reported last week. There is nothing surprising about the robbery of a house during the absence of a family, but to enter an apartment, with families living all around it must be dilTi-cult. How the thieves manage to get In and out and carry away even furniture without being' seen is a puzzle.
