Il had been his dream for months to
see the metropolis about which he had
heard so much from the sailors who came
periodically to old Saybrook, on the Con-

Hugh was eighteen years old, and this was

found himself alone, with night coming on,

The Sea Gull had evidently finished load,

already sailed for her port down the Sound.
Hugh was standing quite still, trying to
swallow the lump that somehow would rise
in his throat as he realized his position,

the grass got a start on them, all
because the pillow was neglected for

IF only a few seed are sown in

should be, there will be no need
of so much hoeing. Many a far

Trackless Trolleys in America

-
A company has just been form
ed to operate a trackless trolley
system in Washington county,
Maryland, and also in the ada
cent counties of Jefferson and
Berkeley, West Virginia, IN the
other side of the Potomac River.
A franchise is to be sought imme-
diately In Martinsburg to put four
miles Of the route In operation as
speedily as possible.
The trackless trolley is a new
thing In this country, although it
has been used in Germany and
Austria for several years. The
vehicles are large electricl omni-
buses operated like trolley cars,
using the overhead method of con-
veying current, but they may be
run on any good roadway. As
the name implies, no track con-
struction is necessary to the es-
Establishment of a trackless trolley
line. A reasonably smooth road
must be had, along which poles
and trolley wires are erected and
connected with a power-house, as
in the. case ofOan electric railway.
IF power can purchased from a
plant already established, the only
new construction requisite is that
of the overhead work. Given
these things, with a sufficient
number of vehicles, and the sys-
tenn can be operated for the trans
portation of freight and passen-
