City Infested With Strangers.

Crowley, La: For the past two
weeks the city has been overrun with
a rowing class of people that are
detriment to the community. Friday
night seventeen strangers applied to
the police for place to sleep and
were locked up in the City Jail. A
number of petty robberies have occur
re- during the past two weeks, and on
Friday night an attempt was made by
two meh to hold up Warren Morrell
in the couth part of the city. Mr..
Marcel had considerable money on his
person when he closed the store at
8 O'Clock on that night, and as pre-
cautionary measure put revolver in
his pocket. When within block OF
his home he was stopped by stran-
ger, who called to confederate who
was behind Mr.. Morrell. Mr. Morrell
shot al both men, but as both made
their escape he was unable to tell
whether or not either bullet took eff.
feet.
The police are now rounding up and
Investigating every suspicious strait
ger that comes to the city. This sec
ton of the state has been infested
with street fairs for the past month,
which are usually followed by an I'M
desirable class of people.

of these. Immediately after Mr.. How

in which was Miss Mabel Barrison of
Capt. Careless fame. A breath|ess

After this elopement tnere success

woman Of Woodlawn avenue, and also
a goodly number of weddings without

just wings out from its stall, and it
doesn't come back again until 1t is
able to wear broad smile. The Gas
oline Eloper obeys the same code that
guided the Spartan warrior who was
instructed to come back either with
his shield or upon it, and so when
No. 1865 is on the job it doesn't ring
up the time clock until the worlds
supply Of hearts has been reduced by
the merger Of two into one.
Some say that Dan Cupid himself is
the carefully reckless driver of No.
1865. The driver wears Dan for a
front name, anyhow, and perhaps his
last name is the Swedish for Cupid.
At any rate Dan knows how to drive,
and drive fast. He is not allowed to
answer any questions, either, and that
helps along the business of 1865. Dan
is always in a hurry. He goes over
the boulevards and the Gluecoe bumps
like summary breeze, blowing up
the dust, making puddles look like
rain and telegraph poles like the bars
on the county Jail, and tanning the
cheeks of sparrow cops.

Love Came on During High Speed.

Charles Gibbons, the daredevil
tester of the factory, was assigned to
make the first run on the chassis. Miss
Taylor watched the preparations with
great interest. Finally she asked why
she couldn't make the ride with GiS-
bons. Her father, after some hesita-
ton and many assurances both from
the manager of the factory and the
daring Gibbons, gave his consent.
The pair We're soon speeding along
the boulevards. The silent Gibbons
sat rigidly grasping the steering
wheel; his eyes wefe riveted straight
ahead, and he seemed to notice moth
ing to right or left of him. He stead
lily increased the speed until his re-
sponsiye machine seemed fairly to
fly over the paved roads. Miss Tay-
lor knew that she had never before
ridden at such a furious rate of speed.
Her strained eyes instinctively turned
from the road ahead to the stolid iig-

ErIed in Cars First Marriage.

Then Gibbons gradually brought his
machine to stop. and for the first
time during the ride glanced at Miss
TAYLOR. Her face was pallld. but 1t
was filled with silent gratitude. Be
fore they had gone half the distance
back to the factory Miss Taylor had
learned that Gibbons was her brothers
chum at college After the next ride,
which was taken afeW days later, Glib
bons was compelled to undergo the Or
deal of presenting himself to Taylor
as his son-in-law.
That was the beginning of the re-
markable record Of No. 1865.
1t was the fate of chassis No. $50
to be shipped to Chicago and there
sold by the agent to d. o. Scott, a
young mining engineer and owner,
who had come up from his Mexican
mines to spend the summer and in
cidentallv some of his gold IN the
states. Not many years before Mr.
Scott had been a worlds champion
bicycle rider, and he now found great
pleasure in this high-speed automobile
After he had used his car about a
month, he received a message from
his mines stating that he was badly
needed there on account Of recent
troubles with the Indians. Scott knew
that he must leave Immediately. But
during his short month in Chicago he
had met his affinity. Car No. 1865
took the twain out Hammond way one
night, and they came back bride and

Chicago.-Are you going to elope?
If you are, just hire the Gasoline Flop
er, and you will live happily ever
afterward. The Gasoline Eloper-it is
called the Love Boat by some is
the name given by the people of Mo-
torville to the 45-horsepower touring
car that plies between Single Blessed
ness and the land of Better or Worse.
MotorvilIe is out Michigan avenue way,
where the homes Of early Chicago
have been transformed into garages
and shops and where the streets and
alleys have been polished with oil
and rubbed down by million wheels.
Out there the honk-honk is the reveille
and the taps.
The Gasoline Eloper has carried
more happy twains into the land of
Better or Worse than any other auto
mobile in Motorville, where all the
automobiles come from. 1t has tray-
eled with the wind over boulevards
and country roads, across the state
line to the modifying place in Indiana
in the dead of night like specter set
on wheels; it has worn a path to
justice shops at rural crossroads, to
little white churches that speck the
countryside; 1t has borne bachelors
to church and brought them back
benedicts, and it has fled away with
girls in brown and men in gray and
brought them back to the parental roof
in time for the ice cream and cake
and congratulations. 1t has put a
five dollars an hour price on romance,
and it has shattered every record set
down on the books of Cupid for max
ing two hearts beat as one.

coppers Know When Dan Is Out.


Dan never gets pinched. Every cop
per from Motorville north to Wauke-
gan, south to the Indiana state line,
and west to the nearest crossroads
justice shop knows that when No.
1865 rips off the miles like a wire
less message it's ION the job" and not
a hand j. raised. Dan doesn't mind
speeding-he's married himself and he
says it's all for the cause. He says
he keeps his engine in pace with the
heart beats inside the limousine, and
that means broken speed laws every
mile from post to wire.
Most of the clipping couples carried
to their goal in No. 1865 live happily
ever afterwards, but of course there
are some exceptions to the rule. Even
before 1855 left the factory down in
Buffalo where it was built it fastened
its first two scalps to it's belt. 1t was
bright spring day with all the set
tings found In the love songs of the
poets when Genevieve Taylor of Buff
falo, together with her father, visited
the factory where the Gasoline Eloper
was being put together. Papa Taylor
wanted to buy a car in which he was
to make tour of the west with
Genevieve and her mother.
The finishing touches were being put
on No. 1865 when Mr.. Taylor and his
daughter reached the testing room of
the great factory--the room to which
cars are taken to be tested. While
they were still in the room No. 1865
was brought in. 1t was ready for the
test before being painted and shipped
to Chicago.

Telegram Tells of Safety.

Every day in the week the Gasoline
Eloper makes the round trip between
Motorville and one of the stations on
the route to bliss. Every once in
awhile it goes to the end of the line
down in Indiana or over in Michigan,
and its safe arrival is always chron-
icled by telegram to mother. Not
a day pa sses that it does not figure in
some sort Of romance, budding or in
full bloom, but it's the recOrd-breaking
trips it has made to the end of the
line that has made the Gasoline Eloper
famous.
The Gasoline Eloper used to be red
until 1t set down the new record in
Cupid's book. Now it's white, as
white as the ribbons that are stretched
along the aisles when the organ be-
gins to play. as white as the candles
on the altar, as white as the icing on
the cake. If there Is anything else
out in Motorville it is appropriateness,
and that's why the Gasoline Eloper
was painted white not long ago.
Dangling behind the two rear wheels
of this 45-horsepower car of Cupid is
a sign bearing the number 1865. No.
1866 is the license number of the Gas
oline Eloper, and the numerals are
painted in white letters on the front
of the car and they are painted on the
glass Of the lamps, too, so that when
ever you see No. 1865 swinging along
the boulevards just look inside and
you will see more cooling and billing
than you ever read about in a dime
novel--unless the shades are drawn
or a 4O-mile-an-hour gait makes the
numbers look like a streak of paint.
