I think, as recall It, that Lawton was

We gave him praise, and loudly We
cheered as he rode by:
We hung our flags out for him. but I've
forgotten why.
And there were Captain Philip and schiey
and Clark and Cook.
We cheered them for the noble and fear

gallant men.

An Automobile Railway.

In Columbus, Ind, there Is the only
concrete automobile railway in tho
world. AS yet, however, It is only q
miniature, but as soon as the inventor,
the Rev. Y. T. Sweeney. fish and game
commissioners Of Indiana, can interest
sufficient capital he expects to build
an experimental line Just outside Co
lumbus, says. the Motor World. The
plan is to build concrete roadbed, in
the center Of which will be a concrete
guide rail twelve inches wide and
twelve inches high. Each car will be
fitted with two small auxiliary wheels
to prevent it from leaving the track.
II the scheme gets beyond the expert
mental stage, the automobiles will be
built to carry fifty passengers and to
also haul trailer.

was able to go to sleep, but when she
awoke the next morning she could not

homes a trail of fatalities which liken-
ed her progress to the baleful move
ments of the mysterious stranger in
Poe's "Masque of the Red DEATH Mary
Ilverson, a human culture tube,' in
whom constantly are developed mill
ions of germs of typhoid fever--tho she
herself has never had the disease and
is seemingly immune-has fallen into
the hands of the health authorities. She
is now under observation in the Will
lard Parker hospital.
The case is without parallel In med
ical records. There have been two
cases of persons who have suffered
from typhoid fever carrying the germs
for several months. after the disease
had run its course, but never has there
been an instance, as the present. where
a woman who never had typhoid should
prove a veritahle germ factory. Ty-
phoid germs, it seems, thrive nerrily
in Mary, and Mary is growing roster
and healthier every day.

Before replying he waited a moment,
looking down at her.
