Atlanta Man Has Bird That Has
Travelled More Than 10000 Miles
In Automobile.

Many dogs and cats regularly re-
ceiye their airings In motor cars and
have shown distinct preference for
these rides. but canary bird Is the
latest addition to the ranks of motor
lists.
Dick Levi OF Atlanta, Ca, is the par
ticular canary that has the distinc-
ton of being the first In this field and
he is said to have travelled over twen-
ty thousand miles In motor car. j.
Levi of Atlanta tells an interesting
story of Dick Dicks first ride in an
automobile was in a Premier "a.
bought by Mr.. Levi in Philadelphia
In 1906. Dick was one year old at
that time, and with Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
his mileage around Philadelphia. in
Guiding several trips to Boston. was
ten thousand miles.
The three motorists made trip OF
twelve hundred miles from Boston to
Atlanta In October, 1906. being the
first to cover this route In a motor
car. They went by way of Baltimore
and Philadelphia over the mountains,
along the Southern railway. On sew
oral occasions they were out all niShat
In their car, sleeping by the roadside.
Mr. Levi says they spent three weeks
In n constant rain during this trip. all
the time running on low gear. Mt
levi is almost always accompanied by
Mrs. Levi, who Is also an expert at
the wheel of car, and Dick is always

the woman to a sitting position. The
man drew back to give her freedom
of action, as she lifted herself on her
hands. 1t was moments before com

came to her. The surprise was yet
too great, she saw things dimly
through a whirl of driving rain. of a
rushing mighty wind. of seethlng

plain to her again. She had caught
no fair view of the man who had shot
the bear as he splashed through the
creek and tramped across the rocks
and trees down the canon, at least
she had not seen him full face. but
she recognized him Immediately. The
thought tiIged with color for mo-

her hands in the strong grasp of his
own and raised her lightly to her feet
in an effortless way which showed his
great strength. She did not more
than put the weight of her body

of pain shot through her, she swerved
and would have fallen had he not
caught her. He sat her gently on the
rock.

Her high boots were tightly laced,
of course. but he could see that her
left foot had been badly mauled or
sprained: already the slender ankle
was swelling visibly. He examined 1t
swiftly a moment 1t might be

violent thrust against the rocks. some
whirling tree trunks might have

from wiring to Philadelphia, but when
he reached telegraph line some ten
days after the cloudburst, he sent
long message east, breaking to his
brother the awful tidings.
And in all that they did he and
Kirkby two of the shrewdest and
most experienced of men, showed
with singular exactitude how easy 1t
is for the wisest and most capable
of men to make mistakes. to leave the
plain trail, to fail to deduce the truth

difficult to point to a fault in their
reasoning. or to find anything left un,
