GRAHAM, D. P. A. • ■ harlotte « N. C. ]UbUiiin»fßinlni& HoHoiwl tutwfyi Bravo was asleep under an and* tree la bloom. She put down her clay Venus and leaned over him. She had never before noticed that his ears were slightly pointed as it way back when Buch things were, a lady among his forebears had met In woodland the rover Pan. “There ought to be vine leaves tn his hair,” she thought. His face was mottled by flecks of sunlight which danced through the shade of young leaves and blossoms over him. She studied intently the expressions which the wavering patterns of light daubed on his peaceful countenance. She remark ed the peculiar sensuous upcurve of mouth corners. It seemed that he Bmiled. And then, with a shift of the ge'ntle breeze, it seemed that he was unutterably sorrowful. When she looked to her clay Venus reposing in the grass, two petals of apple blossom floated down and settled in the receptacle at her feet. She sighed. Bravo stirred restlessly and awoke. She smoothed her so * and ad mired her knees in a tarnished tiirror. “I’ve been dreaming.” He lay •till and spoke up into the glory »f the tree. He breathed deep and (at up. His scrutlble eyes became (nscrutible. “I’ve been dreaming a funny dream. Something about a girl—-but she had your face. Can rou beat that? I followed her through about eight hundred miles ts dream. Then I saw her face. It was your mug.” He clambered to his feet. “There’s always something wrong —even with the girl of one’s Ireams.” “We’re fired,” said Barbara short ly, and gave no explanation. He didn’t seem to expect one. He gripped her buoyantly by the shoul ders. “Good! Now we dig out for Pine Springs. There, kid, your uusoaped tide-kick is going to blossom out ind get himself medicine for this Spring fever that’s eating him. We’re going to dude up. Buddy, vhen you see Bravo in Pine Springs, you're going to know tfhat the well dressed man’ll wear! *nd there's a pretty girl for every £ine in Pine Springs.” She smiled gayly, picked up the fragile Venus and, deliberately, let It fall from the height of her shoul ders to a rock imbedded in a root : of the tree. It shattered Into a hundred fragments. I They hit the road. The warm 1 sun shone in their eyes. Bravo 1 hummed a song, and somewhere in 1 the cool shade a wood thrush warbled Joyously. Barbara kicked a .pebble. “When we get to Pine Springs,” i she said spitefully, “I’m going to I buy you a present." She wished i the thrush would shut up. "Some sulphur and molasses!’ , Bo Brummei SHE STOOD in her B. V. D.’t > and a dazzling new striped shirt. In front of the little shop the : tailor was pressing the blue two- 1 piece with the pin stripes. He mut tered succulent Galician curses be- , neath his breath, and glanced up ruefully at his sign: "Suits pressed while you wait. 50 cents.” "Huh!” He spat viciously oh the iron. “I ought to charge the loafer a dollar.” Prom the back room called Bar bara: "Snap Into it, stiff! Is this a tailor shop or a flop Joint?” ; Sh« .uttered the' coarse words with , Os decent shame? <Not a vestige! She was a post-graduate bo by now, an alum nus of the highroad, as she stood In her shirt-tails, a confounding argument tor co-education. She thought the thoughts of the Itiner ants and their lingo knew her smooth lips. “Yah!" grumbled the tailor. “I lose money on the Job, and he wants yet I should hurry. I bet he must have slept in alleys tor a year. All my life I never saw such a dirty garment” •Tfcto ta the day of the*gri't ad i w *fs‘* I Ausy rumbled. i ge out and get soms sOk stockings and a frock and show him whet he’s missing—because he doesn't know Barbara Brown. Do you know why I didn’t do it. Alley? Do I? It’d spoil everything. I understand that Do you?" “No, you don’t understand. You’re too young. Food Is all that interests yon. Alley. Right now, by the way, it sort of interests me, too. Tonight we dine In splendor. No Mulligan. No greasy farm grab. No handouts. And I’m going to look pretty swell, too, when I'm pressed and harbored. If I oould lay my hands on the cosmetics of my petticoat past—l feel the cos. metic urge. But I’m a man. Alley, and we men have no vanity.” The tailor came in, dropped Bai*' bara's salt over a chair and shuf fled out His irons had dons nobly by the blue pin stripe. They had effected a renaissance In serge. It looked like a new garment Bar bara talked to the dull mirror’s distorted image of an admired self; “We’re a knockout, kid. And we’ve fooled ’em all. All but Bleaches-and-Cream, who had sp» cial knowledge. We’ve had ” She squinted at her reflection. “We've had but one haircut alnce we put on pants. “Hey!" she called to the tailor. “Where’s the nearest barber shop?* “Next block,” she was told. “I owe you four hits, eh?” He nodded morosely. “Well, here's a buck, and you keep the change-, if you’ll do something for me.” “What?” He was suspicious. “Mind my cat for me.” "Oh, sure.” Barbara entered the barber shop and made for a chair. “Haircut,” she said out of the side of her mouth. The barber arranged the shroud “How you like heem?” he asked She was silent. “You brush heem up, or on the side?” “Oh, yes," said Barbara. Th» answer seemed to satisfy. A clip per traveled over the back of het neck. She relaxed, keenly enjoy ing the soothing mtnlstrationa Presently the barber held a mirro> behind her. “Awrightr “Lovely!" He stared. “Shave?” “No,” she gul{>ed. “I shaved thlt afternoon.” He ran a thumb over her chis and wheedled: “Quite a stubbk there. Just a once-over, eh?” “Never shave twice in one day,' squelched Barbara. He Implored, “Massage?" “Well ” He Interpreted acquiescence ant slapped ah unctuous grease on bet face. His beefy fingers kneeded her cheeks, rubbed into her fora head, pinched her chin. It wat rough and delicious. When that was over: “Hair toneek?” ' “Why, I ” “You go and see your girl, may be? Then you wanna smell nice, eh?” She snickered weakly and sun rendered. He poured fragrant w» ters over her new haircut, and combed her until she shone. The bill was 92-25. Barbara tip ped him fifty cents. The transao tion left her less than five dollars She must, she decided, make its quiry into the mysterious faculty exclusively the male's, of spending one’s money and having It. too Spendthrift BraVo, for. instance, always was plentifully provided She wondered where he got it On* thing bras certain. He was no more a hobo than' she was. The appointment with Bravo was for six o’clock. She had plenty ol time and she strolled toward th* hotel district, walking with her thoughts. Her friendship with Bravo was a beautiful, thing—beautiful and incomplete. It would have to main Incomplete, for one must not tamper with beautiful things. They are so fragile. He advanced to meet her unde the light in the port cochere and she gasped. Clothes, then, do m&ko the man! He caught her gaze ot rapt admiration. “As I live, my old friend.

They will be used to haul freight reaching the Florida East Coast Railway at Jackson ville to destinations on the East coast of Florida and the island of Cuba and to transport it thence to the North. Cuban bound freight is transported by ocean car ferry from Key West to Havana, a dis tance of 90 miles, right in the freight cars; the loaded freight cars running right from the piers on to the tracks on the ferry boats. The ability to handle heavy freight trains at relatively high speed is a very important feature on so busy a railroad as the Flor ida East Coast Railway where the passenger business is relatively larger than on most railroads. The freight trains must move rapidly to keep out of the way of the pas ) senger trains, especially when the i latter are as numerous as they are - on this railroad. t In addition to the heavy freight f required by the tremendous : growth of the East coast of Flor t ida, the line heavy Cuban f trade.
