DR.. Powers soon heard OF her ex-
traordinary mastery OF tho art of
cooking. and being of the practical
turn of mind he was Immediately in

Imogene Locke should meet. And it
was quite as inevitable that the girl
would charm tho man with her beau
ty. her vivacious ways. and her OBJ
vious knowledge OF dictetics and tho
culinary art.
The doctor was completely bewil-
dered. He was engaged to marry
Mary Gardner. who Was . practical

CTANLEY sat with his thir little

seat and his nostrils pressed
against the green shutters. half closed

watching MANNED electric car being
repaired in the car-barn across the
street.
Stanleys world was bounded by
electric cars. For tie last five Of his
eight years he had studied them from
the shutter chinks, had listened to
their comings and goinss. until he
had come to know the difference in
sound between car on wheels of cast
iron and one on wheels of steel.
And then car "7S" became disting-
uishable from car "53" just by its own
special clank and clatter: and he could
name car "53" from car "61s" in the
same way, even when he stood away
across the room, where Grandma Bev-
erley's card table was surrounded by
players, and where tho lights were
bright and the shutters closed tightly

They were frequently seen together in

the young domestic science teacher

OF course. Mary Gardner was not ig-

Stanley's confidence in himself could

Stanley stood before tho old lady

came to Grandma Beverley that "53"
was piled against q house with her
machinery broken. A loose brick in
the old street pavement had caused her
to slide from the rails SO easily that
the driver never noticed. And then a
turn in the street came. and "53" did
not respond to the brakes. but rolled
