rious other stunts, known only to the

There was some excitement in
front of the Harrington about three
o'clock Sunday morning. Some persol-
lit a cigarette and tossed the match
under big touring car that stood by
the curb. The tank of the car had
been leaking, and in a second the
front end of it was wrapped in
blaze. Night Clerk Wilson promptly
combated the fire with an extinguish-
er, and was soon aided by the chemi-
cal engine of the fire department.
They put out the blaze, but it was
close call. IF the auto tank had blown
up, Ocala's Sunday morning would
have had rude awakening.

CRYSTAL-GAZING

Belleview, Feb. 25.-Ten sturdy
Belleviewites set sail Thursday at
dawn in two shiny new Fordlets for
an excursion to Crystal River. One
craft was in command of Captain
Frank Gale and the other was officer
ed by Captain John Bickford of
Worcester, Mass. Both made the
home port last evening, but not until
they had passed through adventures
calculated to make quake the heart
of the bravest Ford mariner.
In the party, besides the two cap
tains, were Mr.. and Mrs. MacKay of
Canada; Mr.. George Cogswell of
Bridgeport, Conn; Miss Sheppard of
Brooklyn, N. Y; Mr.. Dustin of York
Beach, Me-; Mr.. G. L. Beitner, a
prominent plumbing contractor from
Bridgeport, Conn.,, and Mr.. and Mrs.
T. Clark Hull of Danbury, Conn.
Halfway between Belleview and
Ocala, the Gale Fordlet "took sick"
and died." in the middle of steep
hill, for no other cause than lack of
nourishment. With great glee the
Bickford Fordlet swept past its de-
funct brother, only to stagger, after
traversing a few yards, and then,
with a few spasmodic coughs. to lie
OWN to breathe no more (for a few
minutes, at least). This caused deep
mourning among the passengers of
the second craft, but, strange to say,
loud rejoicing among the Gale crew,
who but a moment before had passed
through the Gethsemane Of humilia-
ton.
Let US pass over the next ten min
utes, in which a study in facial ex-
preston worthy of a Briggs, was be.
ing enacted. The younger ones crowd
ed with delight at the humorous as
pect of the situation while the older
ones pulled down faces and frequently
glanced at their Ingersolls. Along
came a good Samaritan who went
back in his Ford to his home a mile
away and returned with bottle full
of the liquid gold, which was divided
with great exactness between the two
stricken craft. They made the port
of Ocala IN humble mood, but were
soon revived with generous draughts
of good old standard juice.
Near Dunnellon a huge and haugh-
ty limousine bore down on our young
Armada, and forced both craft over
into the treacherous quicksands al
the side of the road, but the big fel-
low also buried himself In the pro-
cess. Then for ten minutes of toll.
