"More than that" went on Ran-
dolph : Tin not taking year Job Just
for tonight; I'm going to hold it The
only thing I want you to promise la
that you'll keep your trap dosed If
you aee any ada In the personal col
omna looking for me."
How do I know you won't lift the
ear and whoop it up fer K«?w Haven?"
Randolph fixed hlrn In the eye.
"Yon know I won't, because I say
it"
"Sure—tbafs all right boas," aald
the driver condliadngly. "No bones
broke. Now, th're'a Just one thing
more: have yoo flggered that It's five
hours to the opening of second-hand
Klxlh avenue or the Bowery, an' Fd
have to wear those clothes of yourn
•11 that timer
"What's the matter with these
clothes?" asked Randolph, a little
peeved. "Well, you've heard my otter.
Take It or leave It."
'Sure ril take It!" said the driver
promptly. "If I wasn't a-goln' to have
took It from the first what would I 'a'
been atandln' here talkln' forV
Whereupon they entered to the
cramped privacy of the cab and ex-
changed garments. Randolph was
ready In ten mlilutes, but It took hlrn
another ten to complete the apparel-
ing of the puzzled chaufTeur. That
Worthy added to his Investiture In
Randolph's best erenlng suit a sickly
grin.
"Say," he asked, "how do I look?"
Mr. Randolph surveyed him.
"Oh, you'll do, nil right You look
about the way I would If Fd been on a
bat Better have a few drinks, If you
can find them, and the world will fall
for your clothes. What time do I turn
the wagon In, and what time do I go
on again? Do yon bunk at the garage,
by any chanceT'
"Never you mind where I bunk."
said the ex-cabman suspiciously.
"D'you think I'm goln* to throw In a
happy home for two hundred? You're
on the night shift for this week. Read
tli$ rules and regulations when you
gd to the garage. Say good-by to the
boys for me an' tell the manager to go
to blazes."
Tbey followed this remark out of
the cab; the tough In fop's clothing
crunked the car and turned westward,
as previously chronicled, while Mr.
Randolph, now substitute to Patrick
O'Reilly as driver of the Village Cab
company's No. 1808, hurled his char-
iot eastward, not to meet the morning,
•s It had appeared to the watching
Miss Themton, but In search of the
residence of the bead of the legal firm
charged with the duty of carrying out
the Instructions of the defunct Mr.
Asa Thornton.
Mr. Randolph, vice O'Reilly, drew
up at the familiar address in Madison
avenue and laid bis car cheek by Jowl
with the curb as though anchoring It
for a long stay; then he descended
from the driver's seat, entered the
cab, exclaimed thanksgiving at finding
a rug, wrapped himself In Its wann
folds, curled up on the seat and went
to sleep.
In the cold early morning the strong
■rm of the Law reached In and dragged
him back from the Elysian Ileitis
where he had been wandering hand In
hand with a lovely person dressed In
a little velvet toque and very cheap
clothes.
"Here, you!" said the voice of the
Law. "Don't you know you can't put
' up a hotel In Mils burg without a li-
cense? Wot the—•"
••Morning. Officer," said Randolph,
I trying his best to be pleasant "I'm
walling for my fare. Any regulation
against that?"
"Don't pull that stuff on me," said
the Law. "This ain't the Tenderloin."
"I know it Isn't," remarked Mr. Ran-
dolph. "Hut I happen to be waiting
for Mr. Borden Mllyuns. of Mllyuns,
Branch 4 Mllyuns. Ever heard of
him?"
"Sure." said the cop. Impressed but
vtlll suspicious. "He lives here all
right, but I ain't seen him turning

murmared the ofim. and turned to
rtsastt hto beat white Mr. Randolph
promptly hit the mat In the hope of
catching sp «1th Elysium. He slept;
be slept too deep for dreams, and was
beyond the reach of the call of any
motorborn when Mr. MilymaT town
car tried to shoo him along at eight-
thirty of a bright morning.
Once more was Mr. Randolph
dragged by main force to wakefulness.
"Good-morning. Thomas," he re-
marked. "Is the old man upT"
"Hully gee! Mr. Randolph 1 What
'are you been up to now?"
"None of yours. Thomas," said Rob-
ert lierrey, ta a kindly but firm voice.
"Get me a bit of paper and a penciL"
The chauffeur discovered the re-
quired articles In Mr. Mllyuns' car,
banded them over, and curiously
watched Mr. Randolph write his note
to the effect that Miss Imogene Pa-
mela Thornton would receive her legal
representative at Mr. Randolph's
rooms In Fifty-ninth street between
nine and ten. It was added that the
said rooms, upon which rent had been
paid to the end of the quarter, and aU
they contained, Including the man,
Tomllnson, were at the perpetual dis-
position of the said Miss T.
"Now, Thomas," said Mr. Randolph,
"you take tills In to the old man him-
self and tell him a cba iffeur with an
empty cab brought It If you say an-
other word I'll have you up at the
union for losing me my Job, and 1*11

Get me?"
"Sure thing, Mr. Randolph!" said
Thomas. "Leave it to me to help you

tho Law.
make trouble whenever you feel like
It. It's a slow world except .for the
likes of you."
As soon as the man had entered the
house, Mr. Randolph started his cab
and made for a point of vantage In
the park, from which. In due course,
he beheld the arrival of the lawyer at
Fifty-ninth street He waited long
enough to make sure that the legal
gentleman had penetrated to Miss
Thornton; then he threw up his flag
and fnade for the garage.
He sought out the manager.
"Say," he plunged, "fat O'Reilly
lost his Job to me last night shooting
craps. Sly clock read twenty-eight
dollars this morning; here's my slip."
The manager glanced at the slip,
and took a long look at Mr. Randolph.
"You're on, kid," he decided. "Take
any shift you like. What's your
name?"
"Slim Ilervey," said Mr. Randolph
promptly.
"One of them earned names," com-
mented the manager. "All right Go
to it"
PART II.
Flesh, Spirit and the Veiled God.
Mr. Randolph spent the day getting
acquainted and proved himself a good
mixer. By telling a few stories that
had. not yet sifted down froin Club-
land and by standing a few drinks he
soon found himself made free of all
the technical Information he needed
and some more that was so ultra-tech-
nical that It could beat the brains that
Invented the delicate mechnnism of
the taximeter. He also established
part ownership In a comfortable room
In a house very much on the wrong or
west side of Broadway, In fact wtahla
of ti* North river.

tosghi hiMttf a

tors which look like an Inverted

ta efficiency the traditional black ma*
so beioved by illustrators of the week-
ly press. He also had a speaking slot
mt in the glass of the cab srindow
Jest behind bis best ear and subse-
quently removed and lost the slide
that had been fitted ores it with con-
siderable skill and trouble.
Daring the next few nights he pro-
ceeded to have the time of his life; so
much so that he vras constantly over-
whelmed with wonder at hto stupidity
In not having become a taxi-driver
years before! It shoold be remem-
bered that Mr. Randolph was of New
1 York Yorky; be knew everybody cas-
ually. from Mr. Mllyuns and hto
daughter, Eileen, down to the latest
addition to the pitiful ranks of the
mldinette. More than that so broad
was bis acquaintanceship that as a
sporting gent he had once or twice
been tipped off as to the where and
when of a proposed gun-play.
In addition to being by right of birth
an integral part of all the social strata
of Manhattan, he knew the surface of
the Island and of the adjacent com-
moner soil of the mainland consid-
erably better than be knew the palm
of his own hand. In fact he could
scarcely ever have been conscious that
he had a palm, even as a map of per-
sonal fortune; for be who Is complete-
ly satisfied with the present never
worries about the future and Mr. Ran-
dolph had been born content
With such an equipment Is It to ba
wondered at that he found the taxi
field rich with unexpected and sur-
prising blooms? Fair flowers, he had
known heretofore to nod only over tea
tables and solid silver appeared sud-
denly transplanted to his cab and
ready to nod on a stalwart shoulder.
Strong male tiger-lilies of the money
market grafted to the cushions of a
taxt became complacent pillars upon
which some clinging ivy twined.
In six nights he learned the sound
that a banker makes when slender
fingers tickle him under the chin; the
gasp of a girl, first-kissed; the cry of
a young man upon discovering the ab-
sence of grandfather's gold watch, his
since graduation day; the duck of a
top-hat fairly sat upon In the excite-
ment of a moment that else would
have been tragic, the exasperating tap,
tap, tap, of a hen-pecking tongue that
explained and condoned a murder mys-
tery In the next morning's papers, and
the sob of a ruined youngster who had
played with borrowed money.
All these incidents took place with
people whom Mr. Randolph knew or
knew of-and Just to show what an ex-
tremely honesrt young man he was, let
it be said that it did not once occur to
him that he need never be poor while
humanity, supposedly in good stand-
ing. continued to lay Itself open to
blackmail at the rate of a case a night
At the same time, he was not stupid
and occasionally tapped out a missive
loaded with dynamite on the garage
typewriter when jio one was around.
Here Is a sample.
"Mr. Polndexter MacGuler, Sir: As
I was driving you and Miss B. B.
larst night who was foster-mothered
by an aunt of a trend of a frend of
mine, I heerd you talkln to her nnd
all I got to say Is if I see you out
with her again short of the bands of
matrimony Til get another frend of
mine to get Mr. Robert Herv Ran-
dolph to tell what he knows about
you cheaten at cards on Dec. 23 last"
Nights that gave birth In the morn-
ing to such Illlterary tlt-blts could
scarcely be called dull, but It was not
long before Mr. Randolph found him-
self threatened by an unexpected mo-
notonous employment. Unfortunately
for his entertainment, his reputation
as the one par excellence St. Bernard
llfesaver to the Inebriate elite spread
capidly throughout the Force so that
the telephone was constantly burdened
during the wee hours with the follow-
ing : "Say. Is Slim Hervey on the Job?
Well, when he comes in tell 'Im I got
another tailor-model drunk here what
has lost his home address from his
mind."
With suspicious suddenness Mr.
Randolph proceeded to forget half his
school and clubmates nnd cold-blooded-
ly leave them to their fate and a
night out, not without coming to grief
on at least one occasion, however.
"What are you comln' over me?" de-
manded the Irate captain of the Nth
prednct. "You ain't forgot that you
was vally to R. n. Randolph for seven
years, have ya? nas all his frens
gone on the wagon V
It looked like a loop-hole. "Sure,'
wild Slim Hervey promptly. "His
club's near busted what with water-
drinkers and softs."

Birth Rate of France Increases.
Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased In France In 1920. At
Marseilles, for the first time In years,
the number of births greatly exceed-
ed the number of deaths. At Chalon-
sur-Soane total of births for the year
was 689 and that of deaths 520 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been:
Births, 420, and deaths, 571. In Tou-
lon the number of births exceeded by
118 that of deaths, something that has
not happened In 80 years. From Or-
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated, and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by 30 pel
cent the number of deaths.
