He could not well realize just what
had happened In the twenty-four hours
that had just ended. II needed the
commonplace details OF n mornings

And what facts they were that

Ruth had promised TO marry him.
Faversham belonged 10 hat great
class of Engiishmen who unite the
virtues OF careful training with an
a~daptability to circumstance which
has made Great Britain the colonizer
OF the world.
He was rs formal In many ways as
a clock. In others he could amaze the
most impulsive and im~pressionable ad
venturer.
When he first met Ruth he had had
not the faintest notion of wooing her.
His admiration had been frank and
unreserved. but without any underly-
ing depth OF feeling.
His volunteering to join John Dorr
and Ruth In this wild search for the
missing idol had been what be called
a lark
1t was only long association with her.
the constant view of her pretty limo
cence and an occasional glimpse OF her
profounder and womanly nature that
had touched his heart and Weakened in
him feelings that ne had refrained
from coDfessing TO himself.
Then came the ome VIXEN she
been the single person in the world
who could save John Dorr.
Sharp and brief as had been the
struggle In his own mind. IL had
brought him TO an acknowledgment OF
the fact that she was the only woman
he wanted for his wife.
On the very tick of her hour OF troB-
BILE he bad ventured to ask his reward
for service.
She had promised. and now he. baro-
net and retired officer of the British
army. shook like q boy at the thought
of the happiness that awaited him.
They met at breakfast. Dorr still

Their natural topic of conversation
was or DORIS attempt to capture the
IDOL and Sir Donald's rescue of him.
John could give little satisfaction to
Ruth minute inquiries. and the Eng

though much more familiar with the
native ways and native temples, had
not much notion of exactly how 1t had
all come about o how he had found

Court house weddings are rather com

the ceremony performed in the dome Of

Improved Batteries Doing
Wonders for Electric Cars

One of the most remarkable changes
wrought in electric car building has
been in the matter of batteries. II is
often noted and commented upon that
electric automobiles of today show
greater speed and ehcurance than ever
before. Another noticeable feature is
the ability of electric cars to always
run satisfactorily regardless Of weather
conditions.
These improvements arc largely due
to the advancement that has been
made in storage batteries. 1t used to
be that thirty miles was as rur as n.
electric could travel ON a single bat
terry charge. By contrast the modern
electric ear can cover S5 miles or more
the equivalent Of several days Of usu.

proved by reason of conveniently locat-
ed central charging stations which
make it practical for any electric ear
owner to get quick service,
1t used to be common occurrence
to see electric pleasure cars travel at
an extremely slow pace because Of
radical changes in the weather, particu.
larly on cold or snowy days, However,
the type of battery compartment and
trays in use today are so designed that
sufficient protection is afforded against
severe weather to insure the satisfoc.
tory performance Of batteries in winter
as well as summer
Electric car batteries used to be con
sidered somewhat of a mystery and the
average owner was almost afraid Of
them. Today they No well understood
by owners because they have been sim.
plified and thoroughly explained in
commonsense instruction books issued
by botS battery and car manufacturers.
Greater strength and longer life has
naturally come with development in
battery manufacture. In every detail,
batteries now used in the quality eIec.
tric cars are more efficient. They make
greater speed possible, az well as added
power in climbing hills, or negotiating
heavy roads.
There is no doubt that the radical
changes made In electric ear batteries
