EFFECT OF AN AUTO RACE.
TickIes an Owner TO Have . Car of
Make which Takes Big Prize.

Tickles an Owner TO Have a Car of a
Make which Takes a Bag Prize.
1t is, indeed, easily noticeable after
a big automobile race of any sort, In
which the particular winning make Of
machine gets a great deal Of attention,
that owners of cars Of this certain
make are apt to look little bit more
proud than usual. says the New York
Sun. Take, for instance, directly after
the Grand Prix race at Dieppe, where
a Mercedes car was first. There have
been folks driving Mercedes cars IN
subdued manner. about the streets OF
the city for some years when the Ger
man machine was not showing up at al
well in races.
But the moment that the news of
Lautenschlager's victory was spread
abroad they began to look little more
conscious as they drove about 1t was
as If each one felt that he had lie
handling of a car that might turn out
any day and win. just such a race.
When the Isotta-F raschini finished
first at Briarcliff that sent the heads
of a whole lot of owners Of these cars
away up. 1t is the same with every
little thing-a road race or a hill climb
or some unusual feat; they make the
driver or owner of one of these tri-
umphant cars bit more cocky.
When the Thomas car was leal;ng
the others across the continent Tho..las
drivers, whether they were handling
1904 or 1908 models, apparently all had
mental pictures of what they could do
to some other makes if they wanted To-.
1t is a sure thing that each of these
races has such result and sometimes
the drivers are surprised and hurt
when in road brush they get left By
some car that never won a blue ribbon
as a racer.

HUDSON MEMORIAL BRIDGE.

Structure VIII Mark an Advances In
Concrete Constructions.
Ont Of the most interesting of the
proposed bridges around New York Is
the Hudson memorial bridge, which will
cross the western end Of Spuyten Duy-
vii creek, says the New York Post
Concentrating the discovery OF the
Hudson River, it will serve as an ex-
tension to Riverside drive and to the
new subway from Kingsbridge
Several plans have been worked out
by private individuals and by the de-
partment of bridges. One of the f1rst
called for a steel arch bridge with a
span of 400 feet, but with this particu-
lar span it was found impossible TO OBJ
tain proper foundations for the piers.
Another had a span of $50 feet but the
general design was rejected by the mu-
nicipal art commission. Finally the
bridge department took hold Of the
problem, and after many preliminary
studies drew up set OF plans Tor
REINFORCED concrete bridge, which was
approved by both the art and bridge
commissioners.
A REINFORCED concrete bridge of the
dimensions called for would be notable
advance In concrete construction, as no
structure like it has been erected The
arch necessary to span the Spuyten
Duyyil creek will be one of the longest
in the world, even including those built
Of
725 feet, which is nearly three times as
long as the new concrete bridge over
Walnut lane Philadelphia, and within
l175 feet of the span of the Niagara
bridge, over the Niagara river The
arch will be built of concrete re-en-
forced with steel rods and expanded
metal. 1t will be about seventy feet
wide and twenty-five thick at the abut-
ments and fifteen feet at the crown.
On this massive arch concrete col
umns will rest. supporting two floors.
The lower one is designed for four sub
way tracks, gas mains, water pipes, etc.
The upper one is for pedestrians and
carriages. 1t will have a clear width
of eighty feet, with fifty-foot road
way in the center and fifteen-foot
sidewalk on each side.
At each end of the main arch will
rise enormous concrete piers, no feet
wide. 80 feet long, by $50 feet high, to
which the bridge approaches will be
connected These approaches will also
be built of concrete and consist of seven
semi-circular arches. The arches are
to have los feet span and there will be
three on the Manhattan approach and
four on the Spuyten Duyvil. The
bridge. with its approaches will be
nearly 1900 feet long.

CHAPTER WILL

1t was the afternoon of a September
day two years afterward.
The Dover train had just painted into
London, and had deposited, among its
other passengers, young man, tall and
stalwart, with the sun-dyeing of many
climes on his keen, handsome face Upon
the platform outside the crowd, another
gentleman stood waiting for another
train; waiting leisurely, no luggage in
his care but the walking stick on which
he leaned, as he glanced about with the
calm, CONGO ntrated gaze of a man who
thinks much. Suddenly a glance and
smile of unfeigned pleasure and surprise
lighted up his face; quick, glad excla-
nation burst from his lips.
why, Trenham! Is it really you?'
For it was Rourke who had first caught
sight of DIR. We're. and was standing be-
fore him now dusty and travel-soiled
enough, but with bright gladness in his
voice and face which had no dryness and
no faint about it.
"Athol, dear old fellow, how glad l
am to see you here 1t could hardly
have been better, even if you had come on
purpose to meet me. Where were you
goingI"
Down TO Hampton House"
ITO Hampton House?" ehcoed Rourke.
laughing ITO an empty house? What
ghostly idea No. you are coming
with me to dine. I'm as hungry as
tramp, and as thirsty as Falstaff. You
can come, yereT'
ut would be strong force to make

old boyish wistfulness glanced out in the
last question.
That's glorious Now we are ready.
Brent is sure TO have secured a cab. He
is quicker even than he used tc be. Now"
he added. when Brent had closed the cab
door, tell me all about home"
But Athol talked very little about home
after all; only questioning Rourke until
the servants had withdrawn after dinner
and left them alone in private room at
the hotel.
Really. We're" Rourke said then. Il
have told you hundreds of things about
myself and most knowingly refrained
from asking private questions before the
men. l surely deserve my reward; tell
me everything Why did you say you

YOU really intending 10 spend the evening
in deserted m,1sion? Mrs. Farrissey is
dead: did not Una tell me about her odd
will. and how the house was not TO let
again?"
no; il is not let. The house, like the
property. is in the hands Of Mrs Farris-
sey's old solicitor, Mr.. Lucas. But it is
always supposed to be at the service of
the Gavestons when they choose to come
to town: and Mr.. Galveston and his
daughters are here now"

The king was anxious. worried, Ob- riously unwell. His voice trembled as he read aloud his sons letter. It was brief, but dutiful and even affectionate. After a slight reproach that he should have been kept in ignorance of the ap- prehensions entertained about the kings health the prince requested an audience within the next two days. He had considerations which it was his duty to lay before his majesty, and he firmly but respectfully claimed the right of confidential communication with his father. That was essential to his majesty's obtaining a true appre- citation of his views. The hit at Ste movies was plain enough, and the prince did not labor it. The letter end ed there, with an expression of earnest concern for the kings health. There was no word in 1t about starting on his journey.
 Then Markart told his story-not that he had much 10 tell. In essence he added only that the prince proposed to await the kings answer at PrasIOk. Neither to him had the prince said word about starting on his journey.
