CROSSING GATES.
EUINNvTNTn NEWS.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS;
I read in your last evenings paper
of a miraculous escape from death OF
some men in an automobile which
crashed through the Central railroad
gates. owing to the fact that there
were no lights on the gates.
That same thing happened a few
months ago to several friends and l,
only our machine liz not stall, but
we had TO crash through the second
gate, as the train was only a few feet
from us and luckily. as now, not full
speed. The glare Of the trains head
light and the mist of the evening, re
lecting on h glass OF the windshield
prevented the chauffeur from seeing
the gates. Had there been a colored
light, as there should be. such dan
ger would not be incurred.

 A "Sub-Deb" by the way, Mrs. Rinehard explains, is a girl who has not yet made her debut into society but is dangling on the edge of this momentous event. There were five of the stories as MT. Rinehart wrote them and it is said that Marguerite Clark will, after the completion of "Bab's Burglar" appear in others.
 She has been surrounded by a most competent cast in "Bab's Burg lar" including Frank Loses, as her father, Helen Greene, as her sister, Leone Morgan, as her friend, Richard Marthelmes, as her youthful suitor and William Hinkley, as her mature lover. who is just beginning to see the charm of the "sub-debutante."
