Sitting en ■ Tack.
A thing 1m traffic or burnoroos ac
cording to the point of view. The
man who alts on a tack doe* not share
the onlookers' amusement In (act. be
la not only |uiluetl at his own misfor
tune. but he Is pained because he or
, caaioiied some one else to find a de
gree of pleasure tn hla unseemly plight
Now, It Is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement In this connection—
the person who witnessed the other's
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the same
tack himself. Indeed, he Is particu
larly cautions about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without looking
for a tack.
Nor Is this nn Indictment of tacks.
[ Tacks serve a very real and useful
. purpose In this world, but they have
their place, which Is not In localities
where they may be sat upon.—William

Skiff Bnbcock was a self made man.
That was his chief boast. One day
after he had made this assertion one
of the persons who heard It said to the
other:
"Reckon he did make himself. The
Lord never would have made a man
like him."
Skill left school when he was nine
years old.
There were two things that Rabcock
coveted. The one was the most ex
pensive, automobile he could buy, and
the flnshlcst. The other was Cella
Hart a young milliner. Cella was of
the same sphere In life as Rabcock, but
she must have been made of different
clay.
lie got the automobile, and It re
mained for him to get Cella Hart--lf
he could. The only thing In the way
of his getting her so far as he knew
was Tim Casey. Casey was In Bal>
cock's employ, and Rabcock considered
that he owned every man he hired. It
galled him to feel that this "common
workman." as he called Casey, should
be in the way of his getting anything
he wanted. Rut Casey was far before
him tn Cella's affections, and be knew
it But It wasn't natural that this
should be so, and he thought up a way
to change It—a way that only such a
mar. as he would choose.
For three succeeding days Skiff Rab
cock had permitted his brand new red
touring car to crawl along the street In
the hope of meeting Cella as she went
to or from the milliner's where she
worked.
Skiff could always pick Cella out of a
crowd by the graceful swing of her
■lender, erect figure, but recently she
had Identified herself beyond all doubt
by perching a coral colored hat on her
abundant black hair.
All at once Skiff's beady little eyes
discerned her. First the coral hat
came tnto view, then Cella's lovely
laughing face and finally the hulking
form of none other than Mr. Rabcock's
head truck driver, who held Cella's el
bow In one big hand with a most offen
sive air of proprietorship.
Suddenly Skiff Rabcock whirled his
machine around and dashed Into an
other street
An hour later he sat at his desk In
the office of the Skiff Rabcock Truck
ing company. At the curbstone his
red car panted Impatiently. Through
the archway tfiat connected the streer
with the stables behind his office his
employees were passing to and fro.
A haze of tobacco smoke blurred the
little room, for Skiff was smoking ci
gar after cigar In a dogged, persistent
way, very much as If he knew that
when he reached the end of a certain
number of these fragrant smokes he
would find a solution to the problem
that troubled him.
All at once he flung a half finished
cigar through the window and poundel
the desk heavily with one pudgy fist.
"Every man has his price," he said
slowly. "I wonder what is Casey's
price?"
Again ne raeoiratea.
"A truckman." he snorted scornful
ly, "against me, 'who can torn ever?
vote In this ward--me. with that auty-,
mobile, and could dress her In dia
monds, with a flat In Central Park
West, If she wanted It. The nerve of
Tim Casey!"
He rang a bell sharply
"Has Casey come back?" be asked of
the boy who responded.
"No, sir."
"Send him here when he comes."
•cowled Skiff, and he lighted another
cigar.
By the time Tim Casey's huce bulk
darkened the office doorway Skiff Bab
cock hud smoked himself Into a fit of
cold anger, tempered ouly by his favor
ite maxim that "Every man has his
price."
That this was true to a degree In
Skiff Babcock's political circle account
ed for his self-confl.lence to settle the
case of Tim Casey off hand.
"Ton wanted me?" grinned Tim
Casey good naturedly.
Bkiff frowned up at the big, hand
some young Irishman, whose every
muscle was tense with strength and
vitality. Tim's blue eyes sparkled and
his white teeth shone. Life was good
sport to the hard working truck driver
"I saw you on Sixth avenue this
noon," blurted forth Skiff. This was
not the way he had Intended to open
the subject
"I guess I wasn't breaking no speed
limits," grinned Tiro. "That gray
horse ain't got the grit to enrt heavy
dry goods. He ought to be put on the
ostrich feather route."
"Yon wasn't carting that kind of
dry goods up the avenue. What do you
mean by loafing around when you
ought to be on your Job. eh?"
Casey'B back stiffened and his blue
eyes narrowed.
"It was noon hour," he said sharply.
"Where was the truck?"
"Here in the stable."
"Seems to me you can get around
pretty fast when you've a mind to,"
growled Skiff. a<? he studied the time
card on his (?<»sk, which showed the
arrival and departure of the trucks on
their different assignments.
Casey said nothing. He folded hl9
arms across his chest and looked down
