John H. Parsons, the locomotive
engineer who is now at the head of
two million dollar corporations for
the manufacture of his patent for
consuming the checking moke of
the locomotive engines and convert
ing it back into more fuel, has been
to work in POcomOke City the past
week. Mr.. Parsons had equipped
two engines on the long and rather
rough run from Delmar to Cape
Charles with his patent smoke
consuming device. One was a
freight and the other a passenger
engine. They gave such satisfaction
that the Delaware engineer set about
to equip the other engines of the N.
Y, P. & N. line. His corporation,
lately chartered at Dover Independent
of the Pennsylvania railroad infuen-
ces, has now the contract for equipp-
ing all the engines of the entire
Rock Island system, and a number
of the New York Central locomotives
of the feetest and heaviest type.
Some time in August the Delaware
inventor will go abroad to inspect
the work of testing his device on en-
sines in use in England and through
the continent where there is great de-
mand from the travelling public for a
patent of this character.

LIFE WORTH
LIVING AGAIN

They weren't such bowling good
baseball games, but we won them
just the same. Luck broke our
way instead of towards the enemy.
Little Johnny Mackin. who is about
as fast thing as rambles about
on two peds, hrightens up the in
field at second. Altman on third
fills that huge void, and Bobby
James at short is earning his pay.
With Hulen steady at first the in
field is as trim as any in the league.
Vic Holm had only one bad ses-
sion in the morning game. He
was wild and couldn't think of
anything to fool the Canucks. But
after Vancouver got four TALES in
the first and one in the second, and
Holm wanted to quit as usual. he
went through his category of fancy
things and found just what was
needed. After the second the Ca
nucks didn't pull off any of their
frenzied stuff. Spokane made four
runs in the fourth. two in the fifth,
one in the seventh, one in the
eighth and won, 8 to 5. Captain Lou
Nordyke wanted that game awfully
bad Paddock started it and last
ed j 23 innings; Engle lasted 1-3
inning and Rusty Hall wound it
up. The old boy was as puzzling
as ever but twas no use.
Johnny Killilay pitched the sec
ond game and the fans groaned
along with him for three innings,
when he settled down and pitched
good game. He walked eight men,
to show how wild he was, but the
Canucks could only tap him for
six hits. Jack Hickey was used as
a last resort by Vancouver The
morning game showed what the In
dams could do to Paddock, Engle
and Hall. and Hickey was the only
prize package left. They'd been a
little afraid to fash Hickey on us,
for the Indians always did larrup
him. And they did it again, too.
Hickey allowed six hits. struck out
three, walked five and baked once.
We win again, to 4. Come a-run-
ming, you redskins.

Romantic Courtship of Lover Who
 Stole His Sweetheart.

Council Bluffs Dispatch in New York
 American.
 Tt took me three years to win little Sister Geneva away from her convent and hospital life, and to show her 1t was much better to live in the world with me than to stay shut up in four walls,' said Orange Raymond Dye, the young man who eloped on Friday with Sister Geneva from St. Bernard's convent and married the nun in Omaha after A hours of ex- citing adventures.
 "The romance began three years ago while I was an attendant at the hospital in which Sister Geneva was a nurse. We fell in love at first sight It was her first love affair, as she entered the con vent when 16 years old
 q made 1t convenient to meet her wherever I could and always worked near to her as possible. And she seemed rather to like to have me around. It is no easy job to court nun right under the noses of a mother superior. a dozen other nurses and as many priests and at tendants It was exciting times l used to have in that convent.
 After three months counting in this way we were discovered and I was dis charged. Sister Geneva was transferred to another institution, but soon afterward was brought back to St. Bernard's.
 "Then I began scheming to get into communication with her. knew I could trust her, and I knew she loved me. Finally I got woman friend who had the run of the hospital to deliver note for me to Sister Geneva. And the next day received tho answer.
 ''Love-making by note was then begun and was kept up for a whole year with out me getting to speak to her. used to stand off on a hill about half 8 mile away and watch that old convent with a telescope, and I wrote Geneva to come out on the porch at certain hours. That telescope business was love aat long range, sure enough.
 linen we made love through the iron bars of a window. where we could touch hands and talk. It took a long time to persuade her to leave the con- vent for me- When I gave the signal on Friday night she came down In her stocking feet to keep from walking any one. But we were heard, and then the trouble began. With bullets whizzing by me. I was cornered, but Geneva escaped Then there was an exchange of prison CTS. and the next morning I got her out We were married. and that's the end of the story, so far as the public is con- eerned"
