my poor uncle, who might enlighten
you. His English name is Edwardes.
Professor Branderwine brought him
from, I believe, the interior of the
Peninsula when a boy. He is not a
full blooded native. He was devotedly
attached to my uncle, his benefactor
who had great faith in his gifts. Would
you care for his address?"
mo, it is not material" answered
Tredways, thoughtfully. He meant
what he said, was sure. but
as he spoke he kept a curious side
ways glance upon Miss Wildrave. She
showed relief at his reply, I thought,
a certain relaxing of tension in her
mobile face and troubled eyes.
"Still. might take a note of it,"
added Tredways carelessly.
VERY good It is number 16 Tree
ward street, only five minutes from
here" was the immediate response.
Take a note of it, F'rancie." said he.
"Treeward street, numberi" he stopped,
and I saw his eyes fash as some as
tonishing thought flashed into his mind.
He began to count on his fingers, 1.-TWO
-four-six-eight- and so on to
sixteen. Then, after a dramatic pause,
Il find, my dear young lady, that
shall not be able to take up this mat
ter for two or three weeks. I shall be
very busy over another affair"
Two weel1s?" she echoed, visibly
agitated. "Ah, that will be too late,
1 mean" she broke off, so distressed
that a wave Of crimson mounted to her
forehead.
Never mind" said Tredways, in a
tone Of great gentleness, taking her
hand. Il viii not press for a reason.
know perfectly well that it must be
quite unconnected with this busi-
ness"
1T is. It is" she interrupted fer
vently.
or you would not withhold It,"
he concluded Goodbye, my dear Miss
Wildrave."
When we were out in the street he
turned upon me with the remark,
That is the faith which is stronger
than death. That girl simply cannot
bring herself to see Streets guilt. Yet
II there ever existed more clear, more
man I should be glad to hear OF it,

Tredways?"
"Oh. but I am delighted that we
called" he answered, taking my arm.
Il will tell you something, F'rancie. I
suspect - and that in spite of my
earnest efforts to repress the element
OF sensational imaSining-that we are
graphing with one OF the most in
sidious mysteries. with one OF the most
terrible crimes, I have ever encoun-
tered. Great as it is. fear it viii be

he was going to meet Oswald. I
stayed IN the house a prey to a sensa-
ton Of extraordinary uneasiness. He
came back an hour later. and I saw
that something had happened.
He was in a condition Of extreme
agitation which he tried to hide from
ne; but what he could conceal still
less was the livid mark of a welt right
across his forehead. He said no word
[ longed-oh, so much-to ask him
what had happened But dared not.
The glitter in his eyes warned me to
keep silent. That is what I set out
to tell you, Mr.. Tredways. Put upon
it what construction you like"
Tredways bent his gaze to the carpet
For long time he was silent. Pres
emily he got up and the action brought
him face to face with that forbidding
piece of savage art upon the wall. He
paused to regard it in an absent,
mechanical fashion, but he appeared to
become gradually interested.
Have you a magnifying lens
handy ?" he inquired, as we watched
him wonderingly.
Miss Wildrave produced one from a
drawer. With it he infinitely examined
the painting. Then he crossed over to
The window and stood for a long time
ooBing down at the balcony, during
which we said no word. Then back he
returned, pulling a small pocketknife
from his vest pocket.

ton here" said he. 81 shall not injure
the painting itself"
With the point of the blade ne
probed into the 1brous material, using
the utmost care. Quite five minutes
elapsed before he gave US his attention.

"It is a sample Of MaIyan painting,
I think you said?"
Yes; so that the inscription is prob

thoughfully.

other with touch of hesitation, there

Something

Rarely had I seen my friend SO agi-
tated. I was hurrying to the end OF
the street for a cab when who should
pass me but the man Edwardes- He
smiled agreeably. I looked round and
saw, with no little discomposure, that
ne was calling on Tredways.
Apple Tree Court, which is west Of
the Grays Inn Road, offers no golden
spheriods for the sun to ripen. It IS
very mean alley, a slum- Here I
found my man. I had visited Street
there once before; he knew that I was
half convinced of his innocence. but
that did not prevent a deep flush Of
shame from rising to his wasted
cheeks. 1 handed him the note, with
the simple observation. You know I
have interested Hogg Tredways in you.
Street. He wants an answer to this
and quickly"
He ripped open the envelope and
read. His brows met in perplexity.
He turned the letter over and looked
at the bare side Of it.
HE asks me two questions, sir"
said Street after a silence. He wants
me to write an answer alongside each
of them. But that answer is a plain
No to BOTH
GOOD enough interrupted as ne
looked about for writing material
which wasn't there. Keep up heart,
my good fellow. One can never tell
what may happen" And out I went
again and jumped into my waiting
taxi.
I was all easerness to get back TO

ity CALLED my nerves. As I mounted

leaving. He apologized very politely
for fault that was mine, still smiI-
ing, with a hard sort OF glitter in his
black eyes. I bounded up the carpeted
staircase and burst into Tredway's
room. A cry Of horror rose to my lips.
He had tumbled across the sofa.

introduce the matter of Professor

name announced as much. 1t was

NEW LIGHT SHED ON BUILDING IF
 FIRST MACHINE IN THIS COUNTRY

Back in. the early nineties. Mir. Haynes was associated with the Nat uraI Gas company of Portland, Ind-
 His duties required him to do great horse and buggy.
 one day the idea flashed into his
 mind that a vehicle driven by an in
 ternal combustion engine would pos
 sess tremendous commercial value.
 For a year or more, Mir. Haynes turned
 this idea over and over in his brain
 the idea from which has sprung the
 American automobile industry.
 Finally Mir. Haynes was ready to have his idea developed in practical manner At that point he needed the services of men who were not only
 practical mechanics but who could work out o1-fginaI-. engineering prob lerns For that reason he came to my brother, Elmer Apperson, and myself who, besides being mechanics, offered the necessary construction facilities in the shape of the Riverside Machine works which Elmer Apperson owned and operated personally at that time. Tt must be remembered that every functioning unit in that pioneer car represented a brand new problem. The actual mechanical work was done en- tirely by my brother and myself and our employees.
 MT. Haynes purchased the speed transmission which included four in
 dividual clutches of the ordinar lathe types and we Appersons adopted those clutches so they would do the work in the car:- 11r. Haynes likewise bought 1 the motor, which was of the small launch type. This he secured in Grand Rapids, Mich
 "The car wos provided with compen- sating gears which enabled the outside rear wheel 10 revolve faster than the inside wheel when the car turned a l corner.
 That little car was given its trial
 trip on July f, 1894. and actually ran al | a speed of six or seven miles an hour
Arizona republican., 1920-06-20

During the past ten years, T. l.. Jar rard. vice president of the Apperson Bros. Automobile company of Kokomo, lnd., has probably been more closely in touch with the execa facts concern ing the building of Americas first car. than anyone excepting those who were originally connected with the work
 Speaking of this recently, MT. Jar rard mentioned the incident which led up to the public announcement of all the facts by the Apperson company.
 'Knowing Elmer Apperson as I did, and appreciating the true spirit of sportsmanship which both he and his brother Edgar have always had, it was not a surprise to me when Edgar Ap- person came out the other day at the Apperson general offices in Kokomo with a statement characteristically broad and fair. This statement made apropos of nothing in particular shows the true man in that it is his wish to sice full credit where credit belongs
 His statement was so clear and so fair that in the opinion of our company it ought to be passed on to the general public.
 erroneous impression that there has been a controversy in this first car matter" said Edgar Apperson.
 While I shall point out the value to the automobile world of the work or my late brother. Elmer Apperson in the engineering and building of the first car. nevertheless the full credit for the germ idea and the initial conception of the automobile as a whole belongs to Elwood Haynes.
 The farthest thing from my mind would be in any way. directly or indi- rectly, to deprive or take from him the conception of Americas first automo- bile
 How Mir. Haynes got his first idea and how we served him by working out the mechanics and engineering of the car. is, I believe, an interesting story.
