about closed negotiations for a prop

build a home and make Wilmington

Mr. Edison is an enthusiastic auto

says Mr. Edison, "on account Of IN

sometimes four horses TO do the work
which could be accomplished by two
horses should the roads be In good

pose any move tending toward good
roads claiming that they win increase
dis taxes He never stops TO figure,
however. the cost attached to keepinb
several horses IN order that the work

no man can possibly feed "a horse on

extremely low figure and nifty Two
weeks make an expenditure of sos

Afr 5dison talks entertainingly on the
subject of the uses and abuses of the
automobile Along the former line he
tells OF an experience no had In New

For some reason he decided to pur-

atmosphere was beginning to assert
itself There were weekly talks to the
women clerks. at which reports from
noorwalkers and complaining custom
Hrs were offered: little lectures on the
smoothing out Of tangles and the ad-
justment Of differences were given.
The sales girls took a new view OF
selling goods aud handling customers,
and none knew that these talks were
all planned out in a charming little up
town apartment, where the superin-
tendent and the head Of the complaint
department gravely discussed store

Ten minutes later Marian laid her

to leave He held the door open for
her. and as she flung him a CHEEKY
smile she stopped suddenly. His face
looked old. His eyes were heavy. as II
