The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion OF
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf we're fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
err per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
| tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what.
ever part of the route was most con.
venient, and not once during the triI
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

A FIGHTING WHALE.

Among the tales of the whale fish
cry, told by John R. Spears in The
Story of the New England Whalers,"
is that of the loss of the Ann Alexan-
der of New Bedford. This ship was
on the "Offshore Grounds" west of
Chile and Peru, when on August 20,
1850, pod" Of whales appeared, and
three boats were lowered, Capt. John
8. Deblois going in one Of them. The
mates boat soon struck one of the
pod" but the monster instantly turn
ed with jaws open, and the men fed
overheard just in time to save their
lives. A moment later the whale bit
the boat to pieces.
Captain Deblois at once pulled in,
picked up the boats crew, and shifted
part of them to the second mates
boat. Then both the captain and SEQ
ond mate started to attack the whale,
which had been busy meantime biting
at the pieces of the boat it had de
stroyed. In the usual course, a whale
thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach of the boats for a sec
ond attack; but this one had it's ewes

CHAPTER XII.

Maude, as she has already explained,
has been having hard time Of 1t at
Glinn these last two or three days. Life
has been all so easy to her so far, that
she hardly realizes the facing Of this,
her first genuine trouble She Is await
ing the post anxiously this morning: Gren
Il certain to write to her by return, and
her belief In Gren Is unbounded.
Once more the icy breakfast table abe
20 breads. Her father looks at her as a
culprit who would subvert the old Gre
eian story, and sacrifice her parent in
stead Of presenting her throat to the
knife. Mrs. Denison evidently looks upon
her as a sainted martyr. She loves and
aympathizes with her daughter; she ap-
proves Of her spirited refusal, but she
cannot desert her old idols. 'SThe king

opinion must be hers outwardly, though
In her heart Of hearts she may rebuke
herself for not being on her daughters
side.
"a. letter from Granville for you,
Maude," said her father, as he threw It
across. She and her cousin were regu-
lar correspondents, so that 1t excited no

told them. There was plenty Of warmth
in Grenville's ferYent pleading, and afte
reading the letter through twice, Maud
dropped the paper on her lap, and, utterl,
oblivious to her troubles, fell into a rev
erie.
1t seemed so strange. She had love

other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as

could ride with the maximum of com

pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were Tightening a lubri-

A particularly interesting feature,
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be-
used as fuel. The necessary adjust

Tom Browne, the famous black-and.
white artist, is fond of telling story
about certain young lady painter. A
well-known professional artist visited
her house, and she thought it would be
an excellent opportunity to obtain an
expert opinion on her work. Gushingly
she produced one of her pictures and
showed it to the artist, without telling
him, however, that it was her own
doing.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal OIL instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra.
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour
From the standpoint of the public
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence tt
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. Thi
was certainly more than sufficient t,
bring out any weaknesses, if such hat
existed. Still more important wa
the fact that the car was at all time
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers, named by thos
who entered other contesting cars

sfble for the driver of the White t
