high hopes of another job. and then
disappoint him. This grim visaged
gentleman is now disguised and de-

The road down which she sped with
her automobile at nearly 80 miles an
hour was within a few feet OF the
railroad track. and there wasn't even
a fence between them. II was learned
after the race (Which Mignon won)
that Miss Anderson's director had
hunted up the bravest chauffeur he
could find an dasked him 10 take a
place in the rear OF the racing auto.
The chauffeur gently but firmly re-
fused, saying that life was sweet TO
