KATE—Oh, Mr. Lake.
LAKE—Did you speak to me,
Madam?
fCATE—Yes.
LAKE—Well, what is it?
KATE—Are you going with her?
LAKE—What do you mean?
KATE—Oh. so you are, eh?
LAKE—Who are you—her mother?
KATE—No—I’m your friend.
LAKE—-Come on what is it?
KATE—Do you know what a bad
ger is?
LAKE—=-A badger—why—some kind
of an animal. What are you getting
at?
KATE—Badger game—
LAKE—Badger—ga—Who are you?
KATE—Never mind—you’re going
up against it when you get out of
that cab.
LAKE—From my judgment of
women, you’re an old-timer—and
that’s a straight kid. What are you
trying to do? Are you in on this
Job to grab the widow’s mite?
KATE—So it’s a widow’s mite.
" Well, listen, you guessed the girl
right—she is straight—and if I’ve
guessed you right, a straight girl is
safe with you. She don’t know it,
but she’s steering you to a shake-
down. Don’t get in that taxi.
LAKE--1 was going to get my
overcoat. On the chance that you
may be right, I'll drop something In
my pocket to protect myself.
KATE—You’re going against it?
c LAKE—What do you think—I
think I can beat the game—and be
sides, I like the girl.
CONNELLY—(Hotel detective).
What are you doing here?
KATE—Give a guess.
CONNELLY—Were you talking to
Lake?
KATE—Is that his name?
CONNELLY—Now, you tell me
what you w r ere doing or I’ll call the
wagon for you.
KATE—DON’T make me laugh—
you call a wagon for me—you big
square-toed copper. Now you pay
some attention to w'hat I’m going to
tell you.
CONNELLY—Sh! Not so loud.
KATE—Oh not so loud eh? If 1
start to bawl you out they’ll hear it
in headquarters. You call a wagon
for me, eh? You door-mat thief. I
wasn’t working around here for five
years for nothing. If I didn’t get
anything else I got your number.
CONNELLY—What’s the matter
Kate? Are you trying to get a
crowd? What is it?
KATE—Lake, the man I was talk
ing to, is going out in just a minute
and he’s going against the “Badg.”
But he knows it and he’s readied up
to kill somebody.
CONNELLY—What’s that to me?
KATE—Don’t you try to tear to
the ‘phone. Don’t you dare leave
me. My business with you is im
portant. There goes the mark now.
CONNELLY—So you’ve turned
copper eh?
KATE—Never mind that. I teH
you he’s ribbed up to kill, if they
make one false move. I wish you
were there. My life has been pretty
empty but it would not have been
lived in vain if I could only see you,
Leland and Pop side by side in the
morgue.
( ONNELLY—Well, what’s you
your chest? Let’s have it.
KATE—You don’t know- eh?
CON N ELLY—No.
KATE—Where’s my friend?
CONNELLY—Who?
KATE Who? You play me for
the boob any more and I will turn
this street on end till you’ll have to
have a ladder to get to the corner.
Don’t you “who” me. Where’s my
friend ?
CONNELLY—Do you mean
bum who was pinched in
your house?
KA1E Do you think he was a
bum? When did Finn start pinching
bums?
(.ONNELLY—What do you mean?
KATE—What do you get for him
eh?
CONNELLY—Eive thousand.
KATE—How do you divide it?
CONNELLY—Four ways.
KATE—Leland?
CONNELLY—Yep.
KATE—Pop?
CONNELLY—Yes and Finn and !
myself.
KATE—And you’re going to send I
my friend to the gallows for $1,250!
a piece?
j CONNELLY—We’ll declare you in.
KATE—1 knew you’d be good !
That’s fine. Now Connelly you -
and Pop and Leland, if you live 1
| through this night, are all going to |
| work to spring Mr. Laylock, err as !
j there’s a God for people different than I
us, I promise you I’ll send every one *
of you up the river. Do you re-!
member the Chambers shake-down?!
j You know I can.
CONNELLY—Now Kate!
KATE—Yes, send every one of you
And now you come in and be good.
And you won’t get any $1,250 nor
12 cents. I’ll likely have to buy
Finn and I’ll do that if It takes my
joint and sends me out to steal again.
You’re going to call a wagon for me?
You get me a taxi and put me In
it with your hat in your hand and
it’ll be "home James and don’t spare
the horses.”

After Lake has upset the plans of
Leland and Pop Clark, and rescued
the girl, he comes to Kate for infor
mation regarding Doris, in whom he
has become greatly interested. Kate
also appeals to Lake to aid her in
getting Laylock out of the clutches
of the law and he consents after
hearing her story.
KATE—Now I’ll tell you all I know
about this girl. She came to my
house yesterday evening, told me Le
land had sent her and that she was
to marry him. He came, and as
I know' him, he didn’t get near her
while she was there. I told him
to get a minister. He said he would
and left. They got word .to her some
way and she left. Then a messen
ger came for her bag. I have never
seen her since and never saw her
but the once.
LAKE—And you upset their Job
to save her?
KATE—I sized you up last night.
She’s safe with you.
LAKE—That is not the question—
was it to save her, a girl you had
seen but once?
KATE—Well it goes against the
grain to see a young thing like that
aren't you eciNfi-

TALES TOLD
BY THE
JOKESMITHS
Settling a Bore.
Two friends had settled down to
tfccir coffee, cigarettes and game of
chess in a teashnp, when a third, dis
cordant third, joined them. He was
unwelcome, obviously so; but that
did not prevent him “chipping in”
every moment with advice to the
players. They endured him in silence
■ till at last the glint of a shilling be-
I side the board caught his eye.
“Halloa!’’ he said. “1 didn’t expect
to find you chaps playing for filthy
lucre.”
“Indeed,” said one of the players.
“But it Isn’t the filthy lucre we ob
ject to; it’s the filthy looker-on.”
Then the game proceeded in si
lence.
The Girl Guessed Right
“Now. Daisy, can you tell me the
name of the Insignificant little worm
by whose industry I am able to wear
this silk dress?”
“I know—papa.”
Futile Sacrifice.
Chplly—What’s the matter, Fwank,
deah boy?
Fwank—Oh, Cholly, Ethel tells me
she loves another.
Cholly—What hard luck, after your
devotion!
Fwank—Hard luck! Why, Cholly,
in the last six months her father’s
dog has bitten me nine times.
Mixed the Pennies Up.
An old lady on her way to church
the other Sunday tendered her street
Cir conductor a penny for her fare.
"Excuse me, ma’am,” said he, after
a pause, “but this is a bad penny."
“Tut. tut," exclaimed the lady,
"that’s rale stupid o’ me. I meant
that ane for the kirk plate.”
they all are, but I think I can bet
on my friend.
KATE—Bruce?
LAKE—Yes.
KATE—Yes, I guess he’s square—
go stealing with a couple of rats who,
if a tumble came, would let her go
to jail alone.
LAKE—You don’t mean to say they
would have deserted her?
KATE—Desert her? Why they’d
peddle her.
LAKE—Good God!
KATE—Do you wonder I quit be
ing a thief?
LAKE—Have you?
KATE—So your copper friend
wouldn’t even do me that justice?
LAKE—He said nothing about you
at all.
KATE—Just spring the pictures,
eh? (Laughs) Well, it’s true. I
hav’n’t taken any money I didn’t earn
for three years.
LAKE—And before that?
KATE—Well. I took desperate
chances, but understand this, I was
never a blackmailer.
LAKE—Now T begin to see why
you warned last night.
KATE—No you don’t.
LAKE—I’d like to.
KATE—You think coppers protect
don’t you?
LAKE—Certainly.
KATE—And that they are honest?.
LAKE—Well, I’m no>t convinced
you know, the thieves come pretty
near knowing.
LAKE—I suppose, so.
KATE—I wonder—
LAKE—What?
KATE—Would you do me a favor?
LAKE—I dare you to ask it.
KATE—Get your friend Bruce to—
No, that won’t work.
LAKE—How do you know?
KATE—You don’t know what I was
going to ask.
LAKE—But I’d like to. I think
I owe you a favor. And too, a girl
owes you one.
KATE—And you’re willing to pay
ofT for her?
LAKE—Try me.
Kate—I will. (Pause). * A friend
of mine—Western boy—comes to
New York. He’s pinched, thrown
on that island over there, given thir
ty days till they look up his record,
just because he knows me.
LAKE—Why, they can't do that
KATE}—A bum lawyer always tells
you that when you’re in jail. The
worst this friend of mine wants to
do is work, run a hoist. He used to
run a lot of engines around a mine—
before ho gat In trouble. Well, 1
had a man willing to give him a job
this morning, and they nail him last
night, and it takes that kangaroo
night court two minutes to jump him
to the island.
LAKE—What for.
KATE—Vagrancy covers every
thing. It’s a copper’s method of
holding a man till they can dig up
a stool pigeon or frame evidence.
LAKE—But you said this was done
to look up a record.
KATE—Yes.
LAKE—Well, has he one?
KATE—What if he has? He
wants to go straight, I tell you, and
you said you was paying off for the
favor I did the girl.
LAKE}—And I meant it—what do
you want to do?
KATE}—I want to spring him off
that island and get him away some
where while they get that record.
LAKE}—How edn it be done?
KATE}—Money can do a lot of
things.
LAKE—How much money?
KATE}—They told me last night
two thousand and I dug it up before
nine this morning. I got seven for
my lease and thirteen hundred for
the furnishings of my house. And
it seemed to come so easy they
thought they’d made a mistake, I
guess, so to-day they said someone
on the Island had to have five hun
dred more to land him on this side
of the East River.
LAKE—And you can’t get it?
KATE—(Pause) Yes, 1 can, but
when you battled with yourself for
a year and got yourself so you don’t
want to steal—
LAKE—Steal—
KATE}—Yes, steal. “They won’t
hang that boy if—if—
LAKE—Hang? „
KATE}—They just might Mr. Lake.
The West is rough in some places yet.
LAKE}—Yes I know.
KATE}—Then maybe you can see
that there’s an argumenftor a man
even if he did kill. But that ain’t*
it. He wants to be straight—go to
work, and prisons ain’t half as good
and steady as work with a little
home to go to.
LAKE—I agree with you on that
theory and I think Bruce—
KATE—No, Bruce is a police offi
cer. While he wouldn’t have made
the arrest and let a lot of thieves
cut the reward with him, now that
the man is arrested Bruce won’t
stand for any compromise. No, not
Bruce. There’s only one safe way,
that’s the way I’m going.
LAKE—If you want a favor of
money it’s not very graceful of me
to ask what you intend doing with
it. By the way, the little girl is
going home today, Mrs. Fallon.
KATE—Pm glad of that. I wish
I had a girl like her—wouldn’t I do
murder if—
J,AKE—Well, 1 nearly did. How
much did you say you wanted?
KATE}—Five hundred.
LAKE}—You want to keep your
house don’t you?
KATE}—That’s blown—the ne
owner backs In the first.
LAKE}—Gee, but I love a good
loser.
KATE}—FYom the bills I got I was
running it for the gas company any
how.
LAKE—(Passing two five hundred
dollar bills to Kate). With my com
pliments.
KATE}—Wait, there are two five
hundred bills here.
LAKE}—You’re broke ain’t you?
KATE}—I could write my will on
a postage stamp. I didn’t think
there was anyone in the world that
would go to the trouble to think that
far ahead.
LAKE—I’ve been broke.
KATE}—If a woman ever fell for
you she’d just be a fool about you.
LAKE—Oh pshaw r !
KATE}—I’ll kick this back some
day.
LAKE}—Don’t try to get it.
KATE—(Laughs). I won’t—not the
way you mean. I guess there is
some luck that goes with being
square.

Even though Doris escapes from
the clutches of Leland yet he will
not give her up and he decoys her
away from the hotel where she was
the guest of Lake’s mother. While
Leland is forcing his attentions on
Doris, Laylock, who has escaped from
the Island, appears on the scene and
settles his score with Leland, the lat
ter having turned him over to the
law r for blood money.
DORIS—I want to leave here in
stantly.
LELAND—When you go, you’ll go
with me. You’re a beautiful thing.
I don’t see why I wasn’t strong for
you from the first. Now, you bet
ter kiss and make up.
DORIS—Don’t you touch me. I
left a note for Mr. Lake telling him
I was coming here.
LELAND—If Lake mixes any fur
ther In our affairs I’ll murder him
before your eyes. I want you and*
I’ll have you. I can go to that tel
ephone and have a minister here in
ten minutes if you say the word.
DORIS—I’d rather die here and
now*.
LELAND—Well, you w r on’t die, but
you’ll kiss me. (Catches her in his
arms and as she screams a door
slams). Get in there. (Pushing
Doris Into next room). One sound
from you and I’ll kill Lake. If you
want to see him dead just squark.
(As Laylock enters and locks door).
Why, hello Gordon! Thought it was
somebody else.
LAYLOCK—While I was away Mrs.
Fallon got my satchel—I just came
down for It. Excuse me. (Opens
satchel and takes out big gun).
LELAND—Been away?
LAYLOCK—Yes. the squarest
woman in the world brought me
back—spent her last dollar doing it.
(Pause). Now I’ve got to go away
where nobody can bring me back.
LEILAND—I don’t get you—what
do you mean?
LAYLOCK—It don’t seem right /or
the law to croak a guy for killing a
rat like you.
LELAND—Like me?
LAYLOCK—I’m going to change
ghosts, Leland. That last marshall
I got kind o’ disturbs me a little, but
I can sleep in peace with a hundred
shadows of you on my pillow'.
LELAND—Are you kidding?
LAYLOCK—You think it’s a kid,
eh? I’m going to kill you.
LELAND—You got me wrong—
what—what for—what have I done
to you?
LAYLOCK—She blew this house—
her last dime—she ain’t done noth
in’ for me but kindness—and I prom
ised her I wouldn’t. But now that
I see you again, I know that I’ve
been deceivin’ myself—I’ve got to kill
you. I ain’t lookin’ for the best of
it—you’re heeled and you’re warned—
cut loose—Mr. Bloodmoney.
LELAND—Now r , wait a minute
Laylock. You wouldn’t w r ant to
make a mistake, would you? I can
tell you something perhaps you don’t
know—
LAYLOCK—You turned me up for
blood money. I never harmed you;
you know your friends. I was try
ing to get by on my own—had a job
and a chance—and you turned me up.
But something went wrong—I dodged
lightning. A man don’t beat a mil
lion to one chance like that for noth
ing. You ain’t such a cur you don’t
dare gamble for your life? you’ve got'
all the best of it. All you got to do
Is go out on the street and say you’ve
killed Laylock and you’ll go free. You
might win—Go on—cut loose, Mr.
Blood money.
LEILAND—Please now—
(Laylock goes to him. takes Ice
land’s revolver from belt where he
had rested it, puts it in his hand and
slaps his face.)
LELAND—Don’t. (Leland seeing
Laylock’s back to him reaches for the
gun he has laid on the table again
but Laylock turns and fires first.)
LAYLOCK—(As he pushes off Le
land who falls in the corner.) Oh,
die alone.
* • •
After Kate. Lake and Laylock all
swear that Leland killed himself.
Bruce, the Police Inspector, decides
to take their view of the matter.
BRUCE—(To Laylock) I’d like to
know who you are?
LAKE—He’s a stationary engineer
in my employ—and he’s sailing for
Algiers in the morning.
BRUCE—You’re immense. Well,
three people, one respectable, are go
ing to swear to suicide. Guess 1
don’t win a single bet from you Bill.
Good night.
LAKE—You heard what I said. You
sail for Algiers in the morning—you
two. (Including Kate with a look).
Better pack up.
LAYLOCK—I want to say Mister,
I’ve met a lot of game men in my
time, but. By God, you’re bred in
THE DEEP PURPLE.

Visitor—Are the ladies in?
Butler—Yes, sir, they are all in.

Ready for His Job.
When the waiters struck tn New
York, seventy of the seventy-five
cooks employed at one of the largest
hotels went out. This left the kitchen
rather inadequately manned, and the
proprietor hurried downstairs to see
what could be done. He found one
of the five faithful ones ready for
business.
"You will remain?" asked the pro
prietor."
"Yes, sir."
"You will help us cook for our
patrons?”
“Yes, sir.”
"What do you do? What sort of a
cook are you?"
“I make the meringue!” he said,
proudly.
No Fairy Tale.
“Will you be my wife?” he asked.
“No,” she replied.
So he remained a bachelor and
lived happy ever after.
An Oversight.
The steamboat came churning
along her course at full speed, and
the first thing the passengers knew
she had crashed head on into the
pier.
“Mercy!” cried a passenger as the
bow crashed and the splinters flew.
“I wonder what is the matter?"
“Nothin’,” said Pat, one of the deck
hands. “Nothin’, ma’am; it looks to

A Domestic Bombshell.
There Is a tale told in evfery big
house party in Ireland about an
Incident in the seventies. A peer and
peeress in their own country house
were seated at lunch with their
daughter, who was not on the best
of terms with them, when she broke
a long silence by observing:
“Mother, I was married this morn
ing."
The peeress bore the news with a
severe aspect, and observed, in chill
ing tones:
"At least, before teUing such a
private matter, you might wait un
til James (the footman) leaves the
room.”
“But, mother, it is James I mar
ried!”
Tableau.
Where Would He Be?
“Yes," said the storekeeper. "I want
a good, bright boy to be partly in
doors and partly outdoors.”
“That’s all right," said the appli
cant; “but what becomes of me when
the door slams shut?”

Be Wise! Make YourOwn Ice Cream
Of course, you know that home-made ice creams, sherbets or ices are
superior from every viewpoint. They are always sweet, pure and
wholesome; there is a flavor and genuine goodness about them that is
not found in the general run of factory products. Besides that, when
you make your own preparations you know that the ingredients are
always pure, and that the can is clean and sanitary. The main reason
why icecream is made in but comparatively few homes, is the work and
bother connected with the old- —rr-
fashioned crank freezer. Tha* - —•
is one reason why the arrival of
The ‘Ice-Kist’ Crankless Freezer T* *»*
will be hailed with delight by
every one who is fond of ice
creams, etc., because it elimi-1
nates the tedious turning of the
crank entirely, and produces
creams, sherbets and ices that
will make your mouth water.
That is one reason, but there
are many others.
DON’T YOU KNOW that the enjoyment of a di h largely depends
upon the manner in which it is served? Could you imagme a daintier
and more appetizing manner of serving ice creams than provided for
by the “Ice-Kist?”
