afraid of. I'm ready to. go if you're
rested
why. what's the matter with you?
OF course, I'm not rested. I've just ocm-
menced to enjoy myself. You are just
nervous because you've been working
hard all day. poor dear.
Don't the cars remind you of the
lighted boxes we used to drag around
the pavement at night? 1 see the chill
dren are taking to them again.
And, what do you think? The other
day 1 saw boy rolling hoop.
This Is real artistic monument.
Don't you think so?
Don't squirm around like that, Anne,
you make me uncomfortable. And these
old trees are splendid. Couldn't they tell
us wonderful old stories. if only we could
understand the rustling of their leaves. -
Il wish you wouldn't mention monu-
ments." interrupted Anne. dear, darkly.
And I could tell one old story as well
as the leaves could. Are you rested yet?'

"a straight one; 1 got it from a little
old. old lady. who used to come here
when she was child, in 1918. when the
place was a neglected graveyard, with
bones showing. She used to play with

,The gentle-voiced woman bolted up
right. BY the time Anne. dear. had fin
iShed with the experiences of the little
MS girl. she was on the lighted, COM
mOnplace pavement.
. "Oh, Anne. how could you tell me-
when you know how love to come here
evenings?'
Knowledge is a good thing Besides
you wouldn't get rested when I told you.
We'll, I'm rested now. Would you
mind going over home with me?'
Anne dear. evidently went home with
her. But they didn't cross through the
park. They went around.
She was in peacock blue foulard that

vanity had allowed her breathing room,
and her white lace veil, a generation toe
young for her, stuck to her face like
hypaper.
The man with her also seemed to feel
the effect of sultry muckiness. for he
wiped his perspiring face and nodded
sympathetic Endorsement of her wall:
II can stand dry heat as we'll as the
next one. but the humanity in the air
weakens one SO I can hardly keep from
droppn'."
Maybe 1t was the humidity, but, maybe
again, 1t was the peacock blue foulard.

Lieutenants conQuests was an Austrian
baron's black-eyed daughter. whom he
courted with exceptional zeal. But rich
widow crossed his path. The black-eyed
baroness was forgotten. and cupid fed In
tears. When the love-sick girl asked
him to join a theater party he excused
himself on the ground that he was writ
ing a work on Cavalry in the Russo
Japanese War; On the same evening
the love-lorn baroness saw him entering
a restaurant with the widow hanging
on his arm.

The last act was played this week.
Herr Joel was prosecuted for Insult"
When the blushing (reaD lieutenant rose
to support the charge. all men agreed
that seldom had they seen a handsomer

fine OF $75, and was counseled henceforth
to WOO in his own respectable name.
The fine is considered lenient. For the

Herr Lieutenant to coquet with coun-

that the real lieutenant shares this view.
AS Herr Joel, he argues, bought his joys
so cheaply, he must pay supplementary

real cavalry walk keeps watch outside his
door. Love is q kind of warfare, and

The idea that a motor Car runs mos.
economically as regards its fuel cOnsump-
ton when operated at nearly its maxi
mum speed Is an erroneous one. 1t has
been proved by a large number of tests
that the most economical speed is 4 mod
crate one, varying from twenty to twen-
ty-five miles per hour. High speed means
the motor must develop its maximum
horsepower, which in turn meaNs a
greater quantity of heat must be geNer-
ated in the cylinder. and this, of courSe.
can be secured only through burning \
pscportionately greater amount of fuel.
Furthermore, a greater quantity of lubri-
eating oil is used, and the general wear
and tear on the tires. the motor and tn =
car as a whole are greatly increased. 1t
Is impracticable to maintain high rate
of speed for any great distance when
touring owing to traffic, road conditions
and speed restrictions. A moderate rate
of speed can be maintained for the greater
part of the time, with the result that the
average touring time is usually better
under such conditions than when a series
OF dashes is made. with a consequent

The wholesale lowering of records wit
messed recently at Los Angeles and
Indianapolis has caused considerable
confusion in the minds of many racing
enthusiasts, and the question as to which
is the faster, board or brick surface
and which track actually holds the class
r1ao To Interested
motorists. a comparison of the records
made at these two motOrdromeS shows
that. taking every class of cars into
consideration, the Los Angeles One-mile
board track proved faster at all distances
save one mile and less. The reason a
faster mark for one mile could be made
on the indianapolis Speedway than on
the wooden course is because Indianapolis
has q two-and-a-half mile circuit, with
mile straightaway stretches requiring no
turns in this distance. while the Los
Angeles track is a perfect circle one
mile in circumference, thus requiring
constant turns.
