all know that heroines are in a very
risky business anyway.
In The Lightning Conductor" a
sort of glorified guide book to the good
roads of Europe, the hero pretends he
is a professional chauffeur and gets
himself engaged by the heroine to drive
her across the continent. OF course he
has fallen in love with her and takes
this manner of being with her, and of
course it ends happily after number
of hairbreadth escapes. Then late
novel varies the thing a little by hav-
ing the automobile owned and driven
by the very charming heroine. who is
an expert chauffeuse and drives at
such pace that she can with difficulty
find anyone willing to risk his neck to
ride with her. A kind old gentleman
whom she picked up begged her to let
walked the rest of the way. The eight
men who were in love with her-each
of whom she invited to ride at various
times-shut their eyes and trusted to
kind fate to bring them to their desti-
nation safely. The servants whom she
had accompany her at times were let
out at various spots on the road, but
the heroine went merrily on without
accident, protected by the particular god
who seems to take such good care of
heroines in general.
Nowadays one looks a book through
TO see whether one can catch the smell
of gasoline, and if so all is well. The

tinctly old style, and the heroine who
walks or drives even pair Of cobs- is
hardly uD to date.
Yet it is only by a wide of
the imagination that one can consider
automobiiing-even with ones best be-
ioVed-as a romantic paStime. There
is the horrid smell of gasoline, the
never to be forgotten fear that always
accompanies fast riding. and the natu-
raj preoccupation of the chauffeur, who
must give up nearly all of his time
ana attention to his machine. Love-
making certainly proceeds more
smoothly in neat little runabout
drawn by jog trot sort of horse that
does not need constant attention. Then
the hero finds time TO look at the hero
Inc and say the proper thing. But the
fatal desire to be lin it, has impelled
modern fiction writers to sacrifice the
ref1nements of lovemaking to the fad
of the moment and it may safely be
said that the auto is that.
When the automobile fiction first be-
came craze it was always the hero
who drove recklessly, while the heroine
held on tight and tried to look pleasant,
although, her soul was consumed with
anxiety about the steadiness of her
hat and wondering whether ii was on
straight, but more modern is it to have
the machine managed by the heroine.
and the hero is cast for the part of
the passenger. He can make loYe--if
not too anXious-and has a little time
to look at the heroine, but if she is

afflicted with the automobile face
a countenance taut with anXiety-one
cannot blame him for looking the other
way. All the old sweetness of love has
gone out of the stories of the day, with
the incoming of the auto, for no hero
inc can be expected to be very charm
ing when she is lodging policemen
who have warrants for her arrest on
the charge of scorching. The hero who
has to bail out the girl he loves once
month will certainly not feel the
tender interest in her that he might
in the timid, shrinking girl of another
age. But other days, other manners
and the hero of this time seems to
like the athletic woman who can shoot
straight and drive her auto without
fear.
So while the fad lasts-and this year
will probably see its height-we must
endure to have our fiction freely
sprinkled with automobiles and all the
technical terms connected with the
sport
