MOTORING =. tn Best.

Few motorists know of motoring In
all its fullness. They drive along coun-
try roads for a hundred miles or SO.
through towns so closely set that they
virtually run through one long village.
and they think they have motored.
They cross the ocean and enjoy the
perfect roads of France and Switzer-
land and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there is In life in the motor
car; but no one has ever been brought
to full realization of what motoring
really is. or what the wonderful mod
ern machine of mans creative genius
is really capable of doing until they
have sat In a racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as 1t is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote, What a de-
lightful thing is a turnpike road, such
means of speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle in the broad air can
accomplish" He certainly spoke in
prophecy of the motor car. and espe-
cially Of the racing machine. which
def1es distance and shrinks space into
the most tiny proportions.-The Co
lumbar.

know it Is wicked to call one another
names and to strike blows with fists ?"
one day ITatties attention was
called to the house of their neigh Dor,
Jake Fellows. There seemed to be
some sort of disturbance going on in
there. Hattie knew that the head
miller was at work in The mill, for
II was a Saturday. a very busy day for
him. It seemed that Most Of the
farmers coming that way to town
would fetch their bags of wheat, rye
and corn to lie ground for, them
against thhir late return in the even
ing. And ON such days old Jake
Fellows worked, early and late.
Hattie stepped upon the back porch
of the Fellows house and listened.

There. grouped about the old mans
kftciIen table, were two boys ana
three girls. Jimmy and Kitty Sulll-
van were holding tightly to- a box
which Art King and Susan md Mabel

take away from them. So intentupon
their mischief were the children, that
they did not SEQ Hattie TN. she came
quite close enough TO them to Law a

Sullivan cried out: ,

and mind your own hizness."
ITS my business, Jimmy, to ask
what right you children have in Mr..
Fellows house when he's not at
home to invite you in. And what are
you quarreling over? What's in that
box?".
The struggling children fell apart,
the girls going off into. corner to
whisper their angry feelings to each
p. other while the two boys remained be-
side the table, Jimmy holding to one
end Of the box while, Art held to the
other.
