ELEVATOR MANS MEMORY.
Remarkable Feats Performed in
Recognizing Passengers.

Recognizing Passengers.
There are plenty Of elevator men who
remember perfectly all the people travel
ing regularly IN ,heir car, and never fail
10 let them eff at the right floor without
notice to stop, says tho New York Sun.
They carry hundreds, maybe thousands,
of people UP and down in a day, people
stopping at all the various floors along
and it is very complicated. elevator
travel-but they remember where the reg
ulars get OF and stop for them according
~ And il they don't see some man get
ting of where he should they are likely
to look around 10 see why, perhaps 10
find him occupied talking with somebody
himself forgetting. The regular had only
one man TO think of. while the elevator
man had many; but il was the elevator
man who remembered
Somewhat remarkable these feats of
memory on the elevator mans part might
seem TO be- Take the matter Of recalling
accurately occasional visitors, even after
long and irregular intervals, an instance
of this is furnished by the man who runs
the elevator in the building wherc the
dentist Office IS.
You may go there after an absence of
six. twelve. or eighteen months. 10 find
him remembering you perfectly and OPEN
ing the elevator door for you at the right
floor without question.
True. in such case, you may have in
your own face something that brings to
mind your destination. and so this. per-
haps, might not be considered, strictly
speaking as fair test: but the visitor
TO the dentist is by no means the only
occasional thus recalled without mistake;
one on any other errand might find him
self so remembered In many another
building, and TO 1t may safely be set
down as fact that the elevator mans
memory is really something remarkable.

CHAPTER XVII.
Like a Thief in the Night

TO longer did the Duke desire our COM
Nj pany. He had played his little comedy
of good fellowship, and it was over,
- though it had not ended according to
his hopes The gray car did its forty
horse best to outdistance us on the way to Madrid
but the road-so good that perhaps we lost nothing
in the detour to the its favors
evenly We kept close the Lecomtes flying heels,
until one of our four cylinders went to sleep, and
Ropes had to get down and wake it up by testing the
ignition. Some fellow motorists would have turned
to offer help; but the Lecornte was ever Levite
where we were concerned and when we were ready
to 60 on, it was not even speck in the distance.
Luckily, however, there little doubt where
its occupants would put up

SeV1lle), there was scarcely a OCnC1nel
had not described the splendors of til
ment in one of the finest modern
Madrid. Naturally, he would enter
and guests there, so that it would b
away with them unknown to us.
The thing I did not know was,
how long he meant to stay in the
capital; but as he must show
Seville in Holy Week, and later
perhaps other places in the south
of Spain, to Lady Vale Avon and
Monica before their return to
Madrid for the royal wedding, it
was almost certain that he would
60 on in couple of days.
The O'Donnels recommended to
us the Hotel Ingles, the best Spanish
hotel in Madrid, as well as the most
amusing, and it was with heart
comparatively light that / looked
forward to first sight of my coun-
try's capital. How would it COM
pare with Paris, with Vienna, with
London? What adventures awaited
me there? What was to be the
next pass in this queer duel with
Carmona?
But / need not have searched for
comparisons. As we rushed into
Madrid without threading through
any suburbs-since suburbs the
city has none| discovered that
it bore no resemblance to any other
place. We flashed from open coun-
try to shady park, set about with
buvettes and beer gardens; ran
through a massive gateway, and
were in the heart of Madrid Elec-

Don Jaime, my sympathies flowed

on those heights.
We swept under and round the
palace hill, as Colonel O'Donnel
directed. In spite of his instruc-
tions, however, Dick lost the way
twice, plunging into wrong turn
