What He Needed.

Employed in one of the largest iron
foundries in Baltimore there is man
who has a wooden leg. None of his
fellow workers, however. knew of this
until recently. so perfectly did the ar
tificial support take the place of the
missing member.
One day not very long ago something
happened to the betting in the machine
shop. Being an expert mechanic. this
man was sent to repair the break. He
climbed up a high ladder with as much
grace and agility as could any man
with two perfectly sound legs. But
while busily engaged on the beltn:
and. with crash. man and ladder
landed in Il heap on the floor
The mans head struck against Il
piece of machinery, and he was rem
dered unconscious. Some one tele-
phoned for doctor. Before the physi-
clan arrived the injured workman re-
gained consciousness. He did not
make any attempt to get up however
but simply lay on the floor with one
of his legs doubled up under him.
Then the physician came and made a
hasty examination. He pulled the bent
limb from under the man, Strengthened

enough. for him. He has his own au-
tOmobiie, capable of making a mile a
minute. and it has often taken him
from his house to his office in half an
hour.
The Arlington turnpike furnished a
direct line between Mr.. Portley's house
and his office. and on that pike is a
straight piece of road over which he
gave his chauffeur orders to make fifty
miles an hour. At quarter past 10

Hiram Perkins, middle aged

hung loose in grooves on his face and
