With sudden sharp swerve the car
shot from the road and out upon the

more than fear, Gloria was carried
across the sand straight into the

the ocean were hungry for her. But
the wheels sank in the wet sand and
the breakers did not capture Gloria.
They almost drowned her in their
warm flood, however, and she made

She found herself in wilderness Of
sand dunes and mysterious bushes.
She plunged among them, thinking

She dashed across the lawn and,

Surely, no who gives the subject real thought !

travelling in luxury
1t is a difference that affects every moment of
every hour you ride in Cadillac from one end Of

OF course you can be content with less and still
get over the ground-but is there any good reason
why you should not get the ground with the

THE BELLE OF sUTTERMERE.

A story from our own ground-the Maid
And how, unfaithful to a virtuous wife
Deserted and deceived, the spoiler came
And wooed the artless daughter of the
hills
And welded her. in cruel mockery
OF love and marriage bonds.
Wordsworth.
In the year 1892 wandering poet
blew into the celebrated lake district
Of England. and put up at humble
hostelry. When he called for flagon
of brown October ale, it was brought
to him by Mary Robinson, the daugh-
ter of the host; and Mary was beau
tiful creature of fifteen years. Her
form was slender and graceful, her
hair brown, waving and abundant, and
her complexion perfect. The poet was
so enchanted that he forgot to drink
his ale. He just sat there and ques-
toned her, and marked her cleaning
white teeth, and her shining brown
eyes, and made up his mind that there
was nothing to compare with her in
England.
When he returned to the demnition
grind in London, he wrote piece for
the Gentleman's Magazine, describing
his great find. At that time shepherd
esses and rustic maids were popular
with poets, and with the myriads who
tried to be poets, and the magazine
article stirred up great interest in
Mary of Buttermere. Most of the
bards headed for the lakes the next
summer, when they took their vaca
tions, and returned enthusiastic. Mary
lived up to the specifications in every
way. For eight years this sort Of
thing went on, and Mary became the
Mecca of countless pilgrims. Poets
and artists were so common at But
