TELLS WHAT THE AUTO DID,

Device Indicates to Owner the "O'~
ments of His Chauffeur
An ingenious German Instrument mas
been imported which will prove 70 'no
owners of automobiles just what tnelL
cars have been doing in the hands ol
the hired operators, which may prevent
those worthy men from taking theater
parties out at night and riding through
the streets at railroad speed.
1t Is calleda velograph, and oeslueS
registering the speed of the car IN NO.
ton it keeps a record Of the NUMBER
Of stops and varying speeds In otner
words, the record will show just What
the car has been doing without a WORD
from the man who drove 1t, and should
prove an effectual check to the lnuls-
criminate use of the car. by men hired
| to drive them for their owners. Inc
device, though both speed register
and a chronograph, Is simple. An Or
binary tlmepiece, with the dial reVolV-
ing, instead of fingers, furnishes the
chronograph. The dial, or clock face
is separate cardboard disk, which
can be removed at will. The spaces
between the dial numerals, inestead OF
being divided into "ives," as in ordin-
airy clock faces, are divided into four
sections of fifteen each, thus making
sixty in ALL to denote the minutes In
each hour.
Attached to the timepiece is an or
binary speed register, connected with
the hub Of the vehicle. This speed
register shows the usual rotary set OF
figures denoting the number Of miles
travelled. At the end Of every mile,
however, a marker which protrudes
above the rim Of the clock dial, shoots
forward and registers the fact that it
has been recorded. This marker being
stationary and the dial chronograph
revolving, it follows that as every mile
IL recorded on the dial cardboard the
lapsed time will also be shown.
Similarly when the vehicle is stopped
the marker still continues to register
while the disk revolves. There being
no miles to be recorded, the register
will show line parallel to the circum"
ference Of the disk, denOtlng that the
vehicle was motionless during the
hours on the dial corresponding with
such straight line.

to make it good again. wish you
luck with all my heart"

The steamer had arrived at Ham
burg and the passengers had left for
all parts Of Europe. By accident, Mrs
Lingen and her daughter spent IAN
other day with DR.. Bernhard Walton
rath. They found themselves at the
same hotel, as none Of them could get
train until the next day.
In the evening the ladies accepted
his invitation to visit the theater. On
the program the star of the evening
appeared under the name of Paula
Wildt and 1t was easy to hear even
before the curtain rose that she was
great favorite with the audience.
Her name was on everybody's lips and
storm Of applause greeted her ap-
pearance on the stage.
AS she came forward to the foot
lights, and the light fell on her beaut1-
full girlish face and form an express
sion of surprise escaped the doctors
lips and when Miss Lingen turned to
look at him she saw that he was dead
" pale. ~~ Z
Ing. For Gods sake, doctor" she whis-
pered, "are you mp
But he only took her hand and said
in a voice half suppressed with emo
ton:
at Is she-PaulaW
Ada Lingen turned pale now in her
turn and tried to conceal the tears
which rose to her eyes.
The curtain went down, but the au-
dience would not stop applauding and
called loudly for Frau Wildt."
Turning to a gentleman near him,
DR.. Waltenrath asked: ,..-
rs she then married"
why, of course she is," was the re-
ply; "she married wealthy merchant
Ave years ago and is the happy moth
err of two beautiful children.
The Doctor commenced to applaud
wildly. Ada Lingen sat still, an ex-
preston of unspeakable happiness in
her pretty, girlish face.
Never had DR.. Waltenrath enjoyed
play as this, and when he later placed
the cloak upon Ada's shoulders, he
whispered into her ear:
How lucky it is not everybody who
commits suicide from unhappy love.
She did not look as If she was still
mourning the loss Of her first love"
1t is hardly necessary to add that
the little party did not separate the
next day, and that when the Doctor
crossed the Atlantic couple of
months later he did not cross alone.

Some thought that 1t was dreadful

Close. close against her shoulder.
All, well; the nest must lose Its birds,

The scales were even, maybe;
For father gained a little man

The stars like white narcissus chung,
And, sweetheart, mirrored In your eyes
The halo of their glory hung,
While far and wide the moonlight

And somewhere, in our world apart,
A mocker's sudden music swung
Last night, sweetheart.
The song below, the stars above,
Seemed but to meet and melt int
A silver symphony of~love, ~
That thrilled our listening senses
through;
And, close within my arms, you knew
The depth Of each unspoken thought,
While life for me held only you
Last night, sweetheart. '"..

A heaven sweeter than your kiss? .
And Eden dearer than your eyes?
