PLAIN JIM BARNES
By JOHN S^FTON.
As the car doors were closing a
man, hatless, breathless and dishev-
eled, dashed down the platform and
forcibly wedged them open. Follow-
ing him came a second, wearing a
plain uniform and a peaked cap. He
caught the first man at the doors and
■trove to drag him backward. The
train was already moving,
"Stop him!” yelled the pursuer.
"He is an escaped—”
But the first man had gained the
car, and clung, breathless and trium-
phant, to a strap, while the second,
seeing that he could not drag back
the fugitive, followed him. The doors
banged to behind him and the train
was fairly started upon Its journey
through the tunnel under the East
river which separates New York from
New Jersey.
“Say, what’s the trouble?” de-
manded the conductor, coming
through the throng of excited passen-
gers. “You fellows might have been
killed. Ain’t you got no *better sense
than to do a thing like that?”
The first man had not yet recovered
hls breath, but the second gasped:
**I am an attendant from the insane
asylum, and this man is an escaped
■lunatic. He had been there nine
years—”
“Ten, you cur!” snapped the other,
(glaring at him.
*He was a trusty,” said the pur-
•uer bitterly. "He ran away this
morning. As soon as we found he
had gone I was Bent after him—and
mow I've got him.” -/
**You have, have you!” sneered the
■other. "Well, you’ll find out your
mistake, McCormick. I may be a
lunatic in New York, but I’m sane in
Jersey until the courts decide other-
wise, and don’t you forget it”
"That’s right!” “That’s the boy!"
“You’re safe now!” ejaculated a score
'Of passengers.
see that justice is done, Mr. Barnes.
Here is my card, and I stall be
pleased to give evidence In your favor
at any time.”
"I wish you’d make him give me my
watch,” said Barnes, pointing to the
gold chain which hung across the at-
tendant's coat. “I left it behind me
and I guess he picked it up. I want |
to pawn it. Those scoundrels got all
my money.”
“He’s lying,” declared the attend-
ant ‘That is my watch, and if any
man touches it or lays a finger on
me HI have him arrested. And let
me tell you,” he continued, address-
ing the portly gentleman, “you’ll be
sorry for your part in this morning’s
work.”
“That’s all right,” Jeered the portly
man. 'Tm a lawyer, and I don’t think
I’m altogether without influence in
tlfts community.” He addressed the
crowd again. "We can’t touch Chat
fellow's watch without proof that it
was stolen,” he said, “but no doubt
you will all be glad to assist our
friend to get shelter until something
can be done for him.”
He took off his hat, drew a fat wal-
let from his pocket, and extracted a
twenty-dollar bill from it, placing it
in the hat. "This is going to be the
sweetener,” he said.
Bills and silver coins rained into
the hat from the sympathizing crowd
that now filled the entire platform.
Up and down went the portly gentle-
man with the hat, and he did not
cease until it was nearly full. Then
he counted the amount of his collec-
tion.
“One hundred and nineteen dollars,
ten coats,” he announced. ‘1 guest
that this will give our friend here a
more hopeful view of life.”
"I couldn’t take it,” faltered the
fugitive.
“Take it!” exclaimed the portly
gentleman. “Of course you’ll take it
or I'll know the reason why. Come,
n®w, put this into your pocket or JT1
ram it dofcn your throat.”
The fugitive accepted the money
with a shame-faced air, and the portly

Following Dead Man’s Visionary A(>
pearance to Friend Came an
Unsigned Picture.
The following story of a dream was
told to a correspondent by an ac-
quaintance who is about as stolid and
unimaginative a man as one could
meet
He had a friend of whom he had
lost sight for some time. This friend
committed suicide and one night, soon
after he had done so, the unimagina-
tive man dreamed that he was walking
along a street after dusk when the
bust of the dead man appeared to him
and requested him to follow it He
did so, and it led him to s house, the
door of which was open, and then uf
some stairs to a room where there
Was a table on which lay a number oi
books, all of which were lying open
The dead man had been a great
reader and therefore there was noth
lng unusual in the spectacle of a great
many books in his room. The bust
turned to the unimaginative man and
begged him to turn over a page of
each book so that it might continue
to read. He did so, and he remember*
that the bust became petulant when
he turned over two pages in mistake
When all the pagss were turned the
bust appeared to be happy.
The dreamer awoke and told hie j
wife about It. When he went down
to breakfast he found a letter lying on
the table, bearing the postmark of a
town of which be had no knowledge
other than its name. He had never
been there, nor, so far as he wa*
aware, had the dead man, nor had he
any frienda or relatives in the town, i
The only relative of the dead man of
whom he had any knowledge lived in
another city.
When he opened the envelope he
found Inside it a small photograph of
the dead man, showing bis bust only.
There was not any letter Inclosed with
It, nor anything to denote by whom it
had been sent, and to this day he does
not know from whom he received it
Reflect Color of Eyes.
Eye bands, to bring out the color of
the eyes, are worn arouDd the throat
by the Washington debutantes. These
bandB are of 8,11k velvet a quarter of
an inch wide and enhance not only
the eye beauties, but that of the skin
of the throat. Miss Margaret Wilson
was one of the first to adopt an eye
band and w ears one of turquoise blue
velvet to match her eyes. Miss Nona
McAdoo, daughter ot the secretary of
’he treasury, also wears an eye band
of blue, but of the sapphire shade, and
caught with a tiny clasp of gems.
Precedence
The Hupmobile takes precedence in low cost of op-
eration—in gas and oil economy, in tire economy,
in repair economy.
It excels in these most important features because
Hup engineers, scientifically applying the small-
bore, long-stroke principle, build throughout for
quality and long life and untiring service, and for
them alone.
One Cent Per Mile
- * - * . ■ . * ■ * . /
And because of these things, Hupmobiles uniformly
command a price higher by 25 to 40 per cent, in
the second hand market.
The Hup owner figures depreciation at the average
of one cent per mile traveled.
Isn’t that an unanswerable argument for good motor
investment?

my corns any more. They keep them
all peeled off. So you see I have

I am not going to hear them any-
more—except every night and every

j need not call me to tune your piano
j at 10 in the morning, for I close up
for the morning meeting, and will be

However, if you want your piano
