Holmes was counting the days
until LauTa's return. He meant to
ask her to become his wife. He had
no anticipation of a refusal. His
children, after protracted quarreIing,
had talked of leaving him Holmes
did not care. He felt that he had re-
sumed that early life which Lillian's
death had broken off, Only two
weeks remained till her return.
He read her letters. Affectionate
they were, such as a daughter might
write to a father; yet Holmes read
something dearer into them. In his

Holmes was sure then. But would
she remember? If he gave her the
advantages that Lillian had had
would she come to know him as her
destined lover, destined through all
the ages? He resolved to try the ex-
pertinent
Ihe school to which he sent her
was a special one, guaranteed to in
culcate refinement among the chill
dren of parents who had suddenly
risen in the world. When Laura
came home at the end of the first
year, with excellent reports, although
she was considered a little head
strong, Holmes found that she was
as we'll bred as his own daughters.
This only increased the i'll feeling.
They thought their father was going
to marry her at once. But Holmes
had other plans. He meant to send
Laura to the same university that
Lillian had attended, that her DOR
mant soul might be awakened there.
And it seemed unnecessary to
speak Of love, because the calm and
steadfast eyes of Lillian seemed al
ways in Laura's face, and their love
was too real to require Utterance.

the time to expire.
That evening a telegram was put
into his hand. He tore it open, while
the messenger waited; and, as he did
so, he felt a sudden chill forebOding.
It read as follows:
Professor Murray and I were
married this afternoon. Dear father,
will you send US your blessing?"
The man, retaining full self-con-
troll in that moment of stunning
shock, penciIed: God bless you as
I do" upon the form. Then he turn
ed away.
And it came to him then that life
is for living and not for dreaming.
Lillian, if she had ever come back to
him, required his strength, his cogni-
ton, to make her know herself He
saw that she was lost to him in life
forever.
But afterwards he saw, with a
great gladness, that love was never
lost, and that what part of Laura's
personality had been his would re-
main forever.

SOLVE MYSTERY
JEFFERYS HERE
Buquors Take New "Six"
Agency; Will Hold a
Show Next Week.

There will be another automobile
show in El Paso next week The mys-
terry Of the mystery car" was solved
this week when the Buquor Motor
company announced the arrival OF the
new Jeffrey six" which will be dis
tributed I'm the southwest by this firm.
The new Jeffrey models, in an as
sortment of colors. and various Max
well models will be shown next week
at a special show in the enlarged sales
rooms Of the BuquOr company.
Already one delivery has been made
Of the new Jeffery, J. II. Adams get
ting a six touring car. A couple Of
other orders have also been booked for
delivery next week.
The first Jeffrey 10 arrive had a deep
blue body with black tenders. The car
made an impressive appearance on the
streets. The lines follow the European
style. giving a practically straight line
effect from the radiator cap to the
folded top. There is an unusual tilt
to the tonneau seat and this adds to
the comfort Of the passengers. The
driving seat is unusually wide and
there is ample foOt-room.
The six-cylinder motor is cast en-
bloc and the L-head type with 81
inch bore and 5H inch stroke. It is
rated at so horsepower. The Jeffery
engineers have worked out some new
ideas in fabrication, timing gears etc,
and the new car has much Of interest
to the ardent mOtOrist.

LOYAL WORKERS
CUT EXPENSES
System of Cooperation at
Oakland Factory is a
Big Factor.
By FIRED W. WARNER.

A broad experience OF many years
on the firing line before assumed the
additional responsibilities of factory
management thoroughly impressed me
with the necessity Of cooperation be-
tween factory and firing line in es-
tablishing and holding popular pres
tige for any manufacturing product.
Consequently it has been the con-
slant aim Of Oakland management
from the highest executive down 10
the foreman of a minor department to
drill into the men the fact that the
permanent success of an organization
is due not to the executive ability OF
one man or set OF men, but to the indi-
vidual ability Of every workman whose
skill goes into the building of the
product as a whole.
A part Of this system is the arrange
ment Of periodical factory meetings
for the foreman Of the various depart
ments Of the factory. In these meet
ings each man is encouraged to take
an active part and to discuss his prob
lens. and make individual suggestions
without fear or favor As result
these meetings have developed into ex-
perieuCe talks, and an interchange OF
ideas that have been Of great benefit to
the organization as a working unit
As an instance Of how this plan has
worked out for the benefit Of the
product as a whole, let me cite our
policy in regard to the problem Of
what is known in a factory parlance as
turn backs" which for some reason Of
defect have not passed final inspec-
ton A scratched fender or a leak in
a radiator may often hold up a carload
shipment of cars, or a "bOne-head play
on the part Of some workman, which
has escaped the eagle eye Of the fore
man. may often cause the laying off OF
a number Of men in the departm for
day or two.
We not only get a daily list OF these
turn backs. but the reason for each
one is carefully set down and the cost
of this waste in terms Of time and
money is carefully figured out At the
next fOremens meeting a tabulated
analysis Of all these items is brOugh.
before the men who are responsible
for this supervision and the loss is
brought home to them in a concrete
way
As a result. TIE foremen of the sew
eral departments are not only on their
toes to counterfeit waste and to show
cost savings in their respective de
Dartments. but they are also keen to
show their own men the value Of in
dividual responsibility in building up
the prosperity Of the whole company-

taken with the proverbial grain Of

SMALL CITIES BUY
COMMERCIAL CARS

The theory that the market FOR CONNER
cial cars Is restricted pretty much 10 large
cities is disproved in figures compiled by
the Studebaker corporation and announced
through Henry r. Myers. sales manager Of
the commercial car division
Commercial car sales in towns from 5000
TO 90, 600 inhabitants are considerably great
in proportion to the population than in
the large cities" says Mr. Myers. I'VE can
rame instances even where Studebaker COM
mercial car sales in certain small towns
have been in excess Of pleasure car sales
during the past four months.
There are several commercial car deal
who IN the past three months have sold
between 10 and % commercial cars IN
towns OF not over 80. 900 population. One
dealer who lives In a town Of a population
Of some IS. 900 people has sold as many COM
mercial cars TO merchants, Hverymen and
farmers as the total sales Of each OF three
large branches.
selling commercial cars Is not a matter
OF location or population. IL is wholly a
matter Of getting out and going after com

later In the midst OF the turmoil
Jim Carter rushed in. The boy was

1t was not fear of Maloney or his
crew that drove John headlong to his
waiting car He was almost unnerved
with loathing and apprehension. He
could hardly credit that he could have
been SO befooled by circumstances.
Dragging Jim Carter with him, he
urged the chauffeur to travel at top
speed.
But the would-be rescuers arrived
too late The hapless girl, awaking
from a stuper Of terror and exhaus-

in a house where no decent woman
might live, had thrown herself from

brother reached the place only in time
to see a crowd gathered around some
misshapen object on the pavement
1t was in such wise that Burton's
