Stanton sat erect. All Floyd's sus-
picions of this girl rushed back to his
mind.
yes" she confirmed the thought In
his expression. What you are imagin-
ing is quite correct. l tried very hard
to induce you to drive for the ATLANTA
Company instead of for the Mercury.
The ATLANTA absolutely required q
good racing record. But failed. You
we're more than firm in your decision.
So that had been what she wanted
of him. That had lain behind her
polished surface Of gracious admira-
ton and had been the core of her IN
sincerity.
"And when would not drive for
your company, you tried to prevent
me from driving for my own? he
wondered incredulously.
She looked at him, and looked away
again.
Il fancy you would scarcely credit
me. Mr.. Stanton. II l denied the fact,

melodrama. You are unbelievably dif-
ilcult to lead"
Her fawless self-possession gave an
effect Of unreality to the whole affair.
Stanton felt a vertigo of the mind.
"You had that purpose In view
when you first spoke to me at the
Beach twenty-four hour racer" he
questioned. "You hoped to induce
me to wreck my car by fast driving. In
order to leave the ATLANTA better

"Oh, mol" she deprecated. II never

you think me? No. that was merely

"Drugged you? That is a harsher
description than I ever gave the Incl

Why Not Honor Ralhna2.

Providence Journal: According to a
report from Washington, Assistant
Secretary of State Osborne, as a result
of his flying visit to the Dominican
Republi and Haiti, is moved to sug
gest that the bones of christopher
Columbus, which are at Santo Domin-
go City, be placed aboard the first shin
to go through the Panama canal
Here is an obvious error, either ION the
part of the assistant secretary or in
transmission. The bones of Columbus
are surely not there, though, a.century
or so ago, 1t vas supposed that they
were.
Were they the bones of Balboa that
the assistant secretary was shown and
has in mind2 If the remains of the
dfscoverer of the Pacific are in the
cathedral at Santo Domingo it would
be fitting to give them passage on the
hrst snip through the canal. Balboa
al beheaded by order OF the politi-
clan who robbed, him of his honors in
the new land.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 22.-Mrs. Jesse
P. Williams of Atlanta is the only
woman in the south, possibly the only
woman in the United States, who
absolutely owns in ner own right a
250-mile interstate railroad and a
steamship line. In addition she IS one
of the largest individual land owners
In the United States, controlling 250,-
900 acres of farming. timber and cut.
over lands in Georgia and Florida.
All this immense estate, valued al
s10,000,0OO, fell into Mrs. Williams
hands recently on the death of her
husband, a southern captain of indus
try. During the last few years OF his
life, when he was an invalid, she was
his closes. counsellor and for much of
the time the virtual manager of his ex.
tensive interests. She will. it is
thought, handle the properties just as
Captain Williams would have done.
He had implicit confidence in her
judgment
Four years ago Captain Williams left
Savannah, where he had lived for
years, and came to Atlanta, where he
purchased che old home of Walker In
man. once one Of Atlanta's wealthiest
men, at the corner Of Peachtree and
Howard streets.
Being an invalid he lived very quiet
ly and his wife managing his estate
relieved him Of all care and worry.
