topha exclaimed when they saw Jacobs
cottage.
at Just is it's 'leven o'clock now"
Allen answered, and gave the horse to
the old man; and the two went within.
The light in the room, like the lights
back in the valley was as if some great
outside influence here and there should
part the darkness to win a little stage
for scene of the tragedy; in the valley,
for the drunkenness at the Hubbel-
thwaits, the poverty at the Howells,
the Immature at the Moneys and here,
in Jacobs cottage, for death. There
was no doubt Of the quality Of the hour
in the cottage. The room was instinct
with the outside touch. Already it
was laid upon the woman in the bed,
and with a mystery and authority not
unlike that which had come upon
Christopha in her marriage hour and
was upon her still.
The woman knew Allen, smiled at
him, made him understand her thank
fulness that he had come At Chris
topha she looked kindly and quite
without curiosity. Some way, that
absence of curiosity at what was SO
vital to him gripped Aliens heart,
and without his knowing the process,
showed him the nature of death. The
neighbor who had been with the sick
woman slipped outside, and as she went
she patted Chris shoulder; and Allen
felt that she understood, and he was
dumbly grateful to her.
Allen sat by the bed and held the
hand of his foster mother; and Chris
moved about the room, heating water
for little pot of tea. And so it was
Chris who first saw the child. He was
sitting at the end of the wood box, on
the floor before the oven-that little
stray boy whom Sarah Ernestine had
picked up as she had once picked up
Allen. He looked up at Christopha
with big, soft eyes, naive as the first
bird. Almost before she knew that
she meant to do so, Chris stopped, with
a wondering word, and took him in
her arms. He chung to her and she
sat in the rocking chair near the window
where stood Jacobs earnation plant
And she tried both to look at the child
and to love him, at the same time.
"See, Allen" she said, "this little
boyl" =,
The child looked over his shoulder

at Allen, his little arms leaning on
Christopha's breast. And very likely
because he had felt strange and lonely
and now was taken some account OF,
he suddenly and beautifully smiled,
and you would have loved him the more
for the way he did that.
The woman, lying with closed eyes,
understood and remembered.
"Allen," she said, that's little
John. You find him-a home some
where's If you can .
"Why, yes, mother, we'll do that.
We can do that, | guess. Don't you
worry about him." said Allen.
"Hes all alone. | donno his name,

Then she opened her eyes.

Jacob Ernestine came in the room
and stood rubbing one hand on the
back of the other He saw the kettles
high column of steam and looked in
uuiringly at Chris. But she sat mother
ing the little silent boy, who looked at
her gravely, or smiled, or pulled at her
collar, responsive to her touch as she
was thrillingly responsive to his near
ness. So Jacob lifted the kettle to the
back of the stove, moved his carnation
plant a little away from the frost on
the pane, and settled himself at the
beds foot to watch And when, after
a long time the child fell asleep, Chris
would not lay him down. Allen would
have taken him, and Jacob came and
tried to do so, but she shook her head
and they let her be, She sat so still,
hour after hour, that at last she herself
dozed and it seemed to her, in manner
of dreaming, that the carnation plant
on the window sill had lifted and null
tiplied until something white and like
fragrance filled the room; and this, then,
she dreamed, was what death is, death
in the room for the woman. Or might

EASY TO DRIVE IS 1917 MODEL
 OF. ATTERbURy
John c. Mattice, Distributor For Fairfield County Ex
 plains Good Points.

These days, when most motor trucks are efficient, it is hard for one truck-maker to really point out points of distincfiveness which make his product unique. However, John c. Mattice, distributor for Fairfield county, for Atterbury trucks, claims that the Atterbury is really notable in its ease of driving. Not only does he claim that this helps keep. the driver happy, but also it means much in the making for operating efficiency.
 with road conditions good," Said Mr.. Mattice,, "a much quicker get away can be made with the Alter bury's feur-speed transmission by starting in second and shifting into high. Owing to the different relation of reductions to motor speed, this can be done without forcing the mo- tor or slipping the clutch and strain ing the entire drivem echanism. Also, a four-speed change allows the use of a lower ratio on first speed. This difference, is considerable when you consider 1t is multiplied by the axle ratio to get the total difference in gear ratio.
 '"The result is that the four-speed first" is lower than a three-speed 'fist" and will pull better. The four speed second" is lower than the three-speed second" but higher

Some of the improvements are in novations original in the Liberty con- struction-all of them are assets in- tensely practical.
 Passengers. sit in the car, not on it. Not only do they ride in perfect ease, but they look comfortable in the car. There is two inches more depth in the driver's> compartment than is considered necessary in or dinary cars and the seat is three inches wider.
 Exceptional width of seats and cars in the modelling of the back provides absolute comfort for each of the five passengers the car accommodates.
 The steering wheel has been plac- ed in just the correct and natural driving position with plenty of room under the wheel. The position of control levers, buttons andYpedals has been carefully studied, so that they are within easy and natural reach.
 The clutch, the most used of all controls, is far higher in action than the ordinary type. A big single dry plate, held in engagement by pres- sure of approximately 2,50O pounds stepped-up through a series of levers from 2,000 pound spring, absolutely

 Liberty brakes have been carefully studied. The 12-inch service brakes. equipped with an equalizer, apply smoothly and have plenty of reserve The emergency brake, located on the drive shaft obtains the added lever. age of the rear axle gear radio which multiplies the braking effectiveness more than four times. It has an ex- tra big braking surface-63 square inches-and operates quickly. The pull of one finger is enough to put the brake on full and stop the car up short. Brake adjustment may be readily made upon removing the floor board.
 The Liberty windshield fits per. fectly all around. Windshield and upright supports are straight; they fit

The following detailed information covers points which an intending buyer will immediately perceive on examining the car. He will be doubly interested in these facts, based as they are on the fundamental prin- fciples of the Liberty-to, build and design for the owner, for his comfort, his convenience and the satisfaction of his pride.
 With the car owner as the funda- mental principle back of the Liberty appearance, comfort, and ease of rid ing have been the first consideration df the makers
 The lines of the Liberty are new and distinctive. with a dignity of de- sign which characterizes the most expensive motor productions The long, low lines of the car, the sweep of the hood, the gracefuI cowl, the broad, beautifully rounded back, all blend together in perfect harmony There is certain smartness about the Liberty which makes it perfectly at home before exclusive clubs, pri- vite shPps, fine playhouses-a car which the owner of expensive cars may drive without compromising his ] pride and self-respect.
 Engine requirements-pow fex- fbility, smoothness-have been amply cared for in the simplified, powerful, six-cylinder Lberty-Continenta mo- fyr. Al result of special spring sus- pension and correct weight and ball. .ance, which have followed the ap- plication of the best engineering, the car rides with rare smoothness.
 The Liberty is the logical develop ment of an existing demand for a moderate size, high grade car as we'll built and as distinctive as the most costly big cars, but which sells lat a reasonable price, and is a sensible in- vestment from the standpoint of maintenance cost.
 The Liberty's claim to distinction is based not merely on few obvious features, but upon refinement in every detail which make for the greater antisfaction of the owner.'

closely and in addition rubber srr1ps at the sides and bottom absolutely stop wind and rain from coming through. With the one-man top up and the side curtains in use the tour ing car is snug and tight. Wind
 shield and body lines have been so
 on easily and without openings. The
 side curtains on the curb side open
 with the door.
 Doors are wider than usual so that
 it is easy to enter and leave the car.
 They open perfectly level from either Lside to care for the Winter top if one
 is desired.
 The tool-compartment is in the right hand panel offthe drivers com- partment. Many other details of equal importance will be found throughout the entire car.
 The Liberty chassis design is new. It is the result of studied engineering to produce a final design which by it's quality and simplicity will for sev- eral years mark it as being of the most advanced type.
 Working in conjunction with en- gineers and manufacturers of recog- nized standing, our designers have Ebuilt a remarkably sturdy chassis, free from any trace of experimenta- ton, and the application of correct engineering principles has made pos sible the elimination of many parts. | Note the beautiful, clean-cut ap- pearance of the chassis; the deep, straight frame members; with springs suspended directly beneath them; l the compact unit power plant. l The various units can be dissembl- ed for inspection or repairs for, more quickly than in ordinary construction.
 The complete transmission and clutch can be removed most easily and with out disturbingN other parts. l The Liberty Cars are sold exclu-
 sively in this vicinity by the Liberty Motor Sales Co.,, 174 Cannon St. l Phone Barnum 4709.

or a slightly lower speed to meet either condition of good or bad going. This saves the driving mechanism and gives greater economy of opera tion. .
 ''The Atterbury controls for the motor, carburetor ignition system, the transmission and brakes, are easi- ly reached by the driver. The <car- buretor or throttle is controlled by a lever on the steering gear and on ac- celerator (pedal on the floor boards

These operate below the governor speed, which prevents excessive mo- tor speed. The steering gear is on the right-hand side of the truck. This system is the, safest, most ac- cessible and most foolproof for Amer ican road conditions"
