Take example of the economy such equip.
ment can effect:
Overland hammers have attachment
whereby the spring of front axle is perfect
ly formed (by the hammer blow) that it needs no
additional machining.
This operation takes but 80 seconds.
In smaller plants the same work by slow,
small factory methods takes from 80 to 40 minutes
And this is but one of the hundreds of differ
ent economies effected by huge drop forge
equipment
Now do you see why the Overland costs you
800 less than any other similar made?

dealer for an appointment.

window, dirty from the weeds, and
flung himself upon his master in a
canine rapture.

broke of and listened. who's that

The sound drew nearer-a lugu-
brious chant, with the weirdest minor
reflections, family suggestive of the
rag-time ditties of the music-halls, yet
with pleintive cadence
Good morning, Uncle Jefferson"
The singer broke off, set down the
twig-broom that he had been welding
and came toward him. "Mawnin', sub

A turbaned head poked itself
through the door, with good-natured
leaf-brown face beneath it, which
broadened into a wide smile as its
owner bobbed energeticaily at Va

exclaimed, wiping foury hands on a

UNSEEN DANGER OF SOCIAL
Gl ASS

l once asked young man who has
a large circle of'friends in the leading
society of this city, and who is an alb
stainer, how often he was asked to
take wine, and was 'jollied" over the
refusal He said several times a
week, and told me of some hostesses
who were guilty of rudeness. l wish
they could all hear the quiet tones
of the physician who told me of
man he knew who died insane from
alcoholism. The several sons of this
man came to this physician to learn
their chance of escaping the disease.
He told them that if they kept abso-
lutely away from alcohol their chance
was good, but if they took alcohol at
all he would not answer for them. All
but one of these sons have kept away
from the, drug, alcohol, but one while
at college felt strong in his power to
take it moderately" He has no
power now. That youth might have
been the guest ''jollied" by charming
hostess. If these young women knew
the real nature of alcohol they would
at least require a doctors certificate
based on knowledge of the habits of
their guest and on those of his ances-
tors before they urged the social

less interior, the former owner of the
house might have deserted it a week
ago. On wall-rack lay two walking
sticks and a gold-mounted hunting
crop, and on a great carved chest
below it had been flung an opened
book bound in fooled leather. John

and there passages were marked with
penciled lines-some light and femi-

though two had been reading it to-

huge fireplace with rust-red fire-dogs
and furnished brass fender All these,
with the round centipede table and
the Chippendale chairs set in order
against the walls, were dimmed and
grayed with thick powdering of dust.
The next room that he entered was
big and wide, place of dark colors,
nobly smutched of time. 1t had been
at once library and living-room. A
great leather settee was drawn near

ner, books tossed on desk and lounge,
and in the fireplace little heap of
whitened ashes in which charred frag-

Suddenly he lifted mis- eyes. Above
the desk hung life-size portrait of a
man, in the high soft stock and vel
vet collar of half a century before.
The right eye, strangely, had been cut
from the canvas He stood straight
and tall. -one hand holding an eager

there. mutely challenging his entrance

John Valiant looked up. Facing
them at an elbow of the broad road
was an old gateway of time-nicked
stone, clasping an iron gate that was
quaint and heavy and red with rust.
He put out his hand.
"Wait moment" he said in low
voice, and as the creaking conveyance
stopped, he turned and looked about
him.
Facing the entrance the land fell
away sharply to a miniature valley
through which rambled willow-bor-
dered brook, in whose shadows short
horned cows stood lazily. Beyond,
whittier wound the Red Road, he
could see a drowsy village, with a
spire and a cupolaed courthouse; and
farther yet yellow gorge with
wisp of white smoke curling above
it marked the course of a crawling
far-away railway.
''Et's er moughty fine OF place, sub,
mid dat big revenue OBJ trees" said
Uncle Jefferson But All reck'n ct
ain got none OBJ de modern conniv-
ances."
AS Valiant Jumped down he was
possessed by an odd sensation of old
acquaintance-as If he had seen those
tall white columns before-an illu-
sorry half-vision into some shadowy,
ourth-dimensional landscape that be-
longed to his subconscious self, or
in iY11T1 of oil
dream picture, had left a faint-etched
memory. Then, on sudden, the~vista
vibrated and widened, the white col
umns expanded and shot up into the
clouds, and from every bush seemed
to peer friendly black savage with
woolly white hair! y
"Wishing-Housei'' he whispered.
Z The hidden country which his fathers
thoughts, sadly recurring, had painted
to the little child that once he was,
in the guise of an endless wonder
tale! His eyes misted over, and it
seemed to him that moment that his
father was very near.
Leaving the negro to unload his be-
iongings, he traversed an overgrown
path of messed gravel, between box
rows frowsled like the names of lions
gone mad and smothered in an &C
emulation Of matted roots and debris
of rotting foliage, and presently, the
bulldog at his heels, found himself
in the rear of the house.
'Mine!'' he said aloud with rueful
pride. and for general rundown
ness, it's up to the advertisement"
He looked musingly at the piteous
wreck and ruin, his gaze sweeping
down across the barred fields and I'M
kempt forest 'MineI" he repeated.
"All that, l suppose, for it has the
same earmarks of neglect. Between
those cultivated stretches it looks like
a wedge of Sahara gone astray." His
gaze returned to the house yet what
a place it must have been in its time"
He went slowly back to where his con-
ductor sat on the lichened horse
block.

union. This is the circular its score
tary sends out to the bartenders of
the city:
Dear Pal:-Join the Bartenders'
Temperance club. The boss won't
like it if you drink on the job. A guy
can't tend bar and hit the booze and
make good. 1t gets him just as quick
as the guy in front, who pays for it.
If any man wants to drink let the man
on the other side of the bar do it. Send
me your name if you want to join the
club"

sent warm current of pleasure to
his finger-tips. Here was the very

and he fetched grass-stem and poked
out its tiny gray-striped denizen be-
fore he inserted the key in the rusted
lock. He turned it with curious
sense of timidity. All the strength of
his fingers was necessary before the
massive door swung open and the lev
cling sun sent its late red rays into
the gloomy interior.
He stood in a spacious hall, his nos
trils filed with curious but not I'M
pleasant aromatic odor with which the
place was strongly impregnated. The
hall ran the full length of the build
ing, and in it's center a wide, balus-
traded double staircase led to upper
darkness. The floor, where his foot
prints had disturbed the even gray
film of dust, was of fine close par
quetry and had been generously
strewn everywhere with a mica-like
powder. He stopped and took up a
pinch in his fingers, noting that it
gave forth the curious spicy scent
Dim paintings in furnished frames
hung on the walls. From niche on
the break of the stairway looked down
the face of a tall Dutch clock, and on
one side protruded huge bullying
