always had benin the place set
apart for the operator, with my hands
firmly grasping the wheel, and ever
and anon clutching wildly at this lever

wrong one, as he did--but which mere
ly brought forth an answer that he
wanted to make the next town first.
1t must have been the excitement of
the moment that kept me from sus-
pecting. In fact, l hadn't heard even
the thunder nor noticed those first
warning drops which must have been
the cause Of that rather set, almost de-
termined, expression on his face.
When I really came to, we were slow
ing up in front of a railway station,
and it was doing right smart job of
raining. My first thought was of the
lack of rain coat. My next thoughts
came in such rapid succession as only
to be distanced by the more rapid sue
cession of events. l was literally
snatched from my seat by my sudden
ly impetuous teacher, dragged to the
rear of the car, where he opened big
wooden trap door disclosing what he
termed "The works, see it? All SIM

made an open suggestion to the
crowd that the fifty could be saved by
driving the car up. That got chorus
of jeering laughs accompanied by sucn
remarks as "Why, it is eight hundred
miles by road" "You have never driv-
en- carr" 1.-TWO or three much larger
cars have tried it and failed, broke
down and had to be shipped part
way" "The roads are awful" "Don't
be fool" Two of these remarks de-
cided me. l always liked trying things
others have failed at, and being fool
is second nature. eff one of you old
wiseacres," l said, "will give me a

the balance of the day discussing what

on the trip, and not waste whole day
merely teaching me what any child

until we got to St. Cloud, I should be
able to pick up quite bit about it.

What came after the name was of
more interest. "Minneapolis-Fifty

BY little rapid mental calculation
we had made ten miles an hour, with
poor driver. The demonstrating
clerk had told me the car was good for
twenty miles, on any fair road, prop
erly handled. There was but seven
hundred and fifty miles more to 60.
AS that car was going to get properly
handled, hereafter, at twenty miles an
hour, or say twenty-five for easy fig-
uring, that meant thirty hours left
to run. Figuring ten hours a day,
three days would bring me to Minot
easily, for dinner. I, therefore, viewed
the prospect with at least my enthus-
lam undampened. Having been dis

As l climbed to the observation seat
at six-thirty a. M, in front Of the
West hotel, l regretted the hour, it
being a bit too early for crowds; a

that tells you as plain as anything
that the world is a simple, kind old
soul, and pretty easy to conquer, if

takes little pains. We had driven

when first noticed that the sun was

mere accuracy compels me to say that
he had driven. Owing to the early
hour, and possibly to some extent be-
cause we had exhausted most subjects
of conversation the preceding after
noon and evening, and as we are ad-
herring to accuracy, might say night,
the silence Of sweet communion had
been broken only once or twice, by my
asking when the lessons were to be-

that possibly l might learn driving
more rapidly if I were permitted
