five COWS, A GIRL
and A Big AUTO
Romance of a Young Lawyers
ScorchIeSS ScorCh on a
Highway.
BY ADA NIXON.

Prcss)
Young Harold Inlay OF Chester
had graduated In law and been taken
into partnership with his father. He
was having what he called little
fling before settling down to the stern
business OF law. and he had an auto
10 help him out Tho auto revolved
around the country at various speeds.
none OF which was less than forty
miles an hour.
On a certain morning when II was
taken out to scorch up the highway It
refused to scorch. In fact. 1t went
dead" That's not so very rare n
case. There Is little something out
OF kilter and the man that knows how
can remedy II In few minutes. Tho
trouble In this case was that nobody
in the village knew how. The clock
tinker. the blacksmith, the cobbler
and the doctor all diagnosed and pre-
scribed, but without avail. Then tin
peddler came along and hoped OF
his wagon and fused for a minute
and hoped on again and drove of.
The auto was now all right. The
young lawyer offered free seats. but
they were declined with thanks. 1t
wasn't their day for dying. The de.
cliners saw man and machine disap.
pear down the highway like cannon
ball and felt that It was good to be
alive and have dinner coming to them.
Very few lawyers take any mans
word for anything. and not one in ten
would believe peddler under oath.
Young INLAY hadn't cut his legal eye
teeth yet. and no fondly believed. He
would have said to Jury that the
peddler could have no possible mo-
tive in lying to him. and the absence
OF a motive always raises big doubt
OF the guilt OF the accused Perhaps
the man did not knowingly lie. Per.
haps he thought balky auto could
be fixed as easily rs balky wheel.

that he was flying. and that the ma.
chine was beyond his control TO stop.
Five miles from where the auto
started out and half an hour before
II did start. saddled pony was led
around to the door OF n manor house.
and Miss Irene Galbraith mounted
and galloped away. Something of an
artist she was, and she had her
sketch book with her Two miles
down the road she found her subject.
Five cows which were running at
large contrary to the highway laws
were standing in the middle OF che
dusty road with half-closed eyes and
their tails lazlly switching at tho
files. They had arranged themselves
as II for photograph and the girl
dismountcd and got out her materials.
"Honk. Honkl Honk."
Miss Galbraith had heard the sound
a thousand times before. but there
was note In this to make her rise
20 her feet. That honk was a danger
signal.
Five rods down was the river. On
the other side the highway assembled
for a mile. and at its crest she saw
an auto. In ten seconds she made UP
her mind that II was a runaway ma
chine. II honked at every fifty feet.
Those blasts could only mean: Look
out-clear tho road"
Young Inlay had put in the fastest
half mile he ever expected to before
reaching the crest OF the hill, but he
instantly realized that there was a
mile a minute pace before him.
Straight down over tho crazy old
bridge. and

That settled II. There must be q

"And girl there! She must know
I'm in trouble. II she's got good
sense shall scatter those cows and
give me a clear road. II she does
I'll marry her; n she does not"

cried the girl az she picked up a stick
and ran forward and belabored them.
The surprised cows moved. They
didn't hustle. but they didn't have to

among these was the discussion about
the street car service that Hamilton
is now getting. 1t was brought to the
attention of the meeting that about
half of the people who come across
the bridge on the cars are Hamilton
residents or visitors and that there is
really no need for transferring of
passengers from the Warsaw line. 1t
is the intention of the committee to
ask for more desirable service In
Guiding a Hamilton car. This will
make necessary change of grade on
Broadway but that would be minor
consideration in case the city gets a
through car from Keokuk. The state
ment was also made that the car
coming into the city never meets the
incoming trains and 1t was brought
out that this was one thing necessary
to the success of the new hotel. 1t is
thought that it can be arranged to
meet the trains If another car and
the new schedule are put into effect
