Auto Goes on Rampage.

An amusing incident which
might have proven fatal took place
at the intersection of Delafield
place and Iowa avenue a few eve
nings ago.
Four people in an automobile
stopped after much difficulty, park
ing on Delafield place with the
front wheels turned toward the
sidewalk. After leaving the car.
one of the women decided she did
not like the way 1t was parked.
Mystery surrounds exactly what
she wished to do. but she got into
the car. 1t started and climbed the
curb. ran over the sidewalk. through
the hedge, over the lawn and again
through the hedge on the opposite
side of the yard. and continued
down Iowa avenue. In her wild
ride, the car almost struck a child
on the sidewalk. damaged the
hedge, lawn, and a young cedar
tree, which was almost completely
destroyed. Two large trees were
passed by a narrow margin, both
of which would have stopped her
wild ride. A short time before, a
cripple had been sitting on the
lawn directly in the path of the
car.
1t happened so quickly that the
bystanders did not have time to
take the number of the car, and

a fatherly voice OF love, protective

An a La Car Dinner.

A short, fat little man carrying
a small box and a paper bag, hur-
riedly entered a car at Seventh
and Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
noon. Red faced and perspiring.
he proceeded up the aisle and sat
down beside a young fiapper. With
horror she saw him dive into the
bag and pull out what had been
the leg of a Virginia rooster. He
had started in to cat one Of the
finest chicken dinners you ever
saw. Piece by piece he gnawed
each bone clean. then threw them
over the iapper out the window,
once barely missing pedestrian
who cast perplexed glances toward
the moving car. Finishing what
had seemed to be a whole chicken,
he licked his fingers. After using
the bag for a napkin he threw It
out the window, sprinkling the
napper with crumbs as he did So.
Then, excitedly, he rang the bell
and hurried off.

There was a growing lack Of
color in Anthony's days. He felt
1t constantly and sometimes traced
it to a talk he ha6 with Maury
Noble a month before. That any
thing so ingenious, so priggish, as
a sense of waste should Cypress him
was absurd. but there was no de-
nying the fact that some unwelcome
survival of a fetch had drawn him
three weeks before down to the
public library, where. by the token
OF Richard Caramers card, he had
drawn out half a dozen books on
the Italian Renaissance. That these
books were still piled on his desk
in the original order Of carriage,
that they were daily increasing his
liabilities by twelv2 cents, was no
mitigation of their testimony. They
were cloth and morocco witnesses
to the fact of his detection. An

squires. buffers and lackeys to this
great Khan there were a thousand
books glowing on his shelves, there
was his apartment and all the
money that was to be his when the
old man up the river should choke
on his last morality. From a world
fraught with the menace of de-
butantes and the stupidity of many
Geraldines he was thankfully de-
livered-rather should he emulate
the feline immobility of Maury and
wear proudly the culminative wis
dom of the numbered generations.
Over and against these things was
something which his brain persist
emily analysed and dealt with as a
tiresome complex but which, though
logically disposed of and bravely
trampled under foot, had sent him
out through the soft slush of late
November to a library which had
none of the books he most wanted.
1t is fair to analyze Anth ony as far
as he could analyze himself; further
than that 1t is, of course. presump-
ton. He found in himself a grow
ing horror and lonliness. The idea
of eating alone frightened him; in
preference he dined often with men
he cetested. Travel, which had
once charmed him, seemed. at
length. uncomfortable. a business of
color without substance. a phantom
chase after his own dreams shadow.
