Not on or a in the stage picture he felt certain He thought long and earnestly but the riddle remained unsolved Then by different channels his mind traveled back through the years to the home of his boyhood the little village the river he used to swim in and his farewell to Chelsea And at this point memory supplied It was she — Lucy the missing link Mayburn— the same little girl he had He mused on loved so long ago thinking tenderly of the night he left for the great city when he kissed her and promised some day to good-bHe even reclaim her as his wife called the tears that glistened on her face under the starlight of his last hours at home A mist obscured his vision and something suspiciously like Ten a sob lingered in his throat How quickly one years had passed and sacred promises are forgets broken while youthful affection dies in the cold atmosphere of the struggle for fame and riches A nameless longHow he wished ing oppressed him he could talk to her Perhaps through the baby he might manage it The child responded to an invitation to come and hear his watch tick No persuasion was needed to keep her on his knee for she was easily the warm atamused Presently mosphere combined with the motion of the train exercised a soothing effect upon her the blue eyes closed languidly hnd baby drifted into the It was a new shadowland of slumber role for Leith to play this of nurse to a sleeping infant but he performed it with a zest which would have his many bachelor associates THE WHITE STEAMER WHICH MADE A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF KEROSENE GLIDDEN TOUR AS FUEL ON THE RECENT announceThe complete success of the new amount of fuel used on the trip The most Interesting ment ever made in connection with fuel while on the public showed that kerosene is at least and the advantages the automobile gained fifteen per cent more efficient gallon industry was un- test The car in doubtedly that made a month or two through its use were well described for gallon than gasoline ago to the effect that the new models In the following dispatch which the other respects made a most creditable of the White Steam Cars could be run correspondent of the New York Sun showing and there was the usual rivon kerosene or coal oil instead of sent to his paper at the conclusion of alry among the observers to be assigned to the White so that they Everyone at once recog- the tour: gasoline “A feature of the tour which was could ride with the maximum of comnized that the use of the new fuel The only adjustments or re- was fort would add materially to the advan- watched with special interest tages which the White already pos- that the White Steamer used kero- pairs charged against the car during sessed over other types of 'cars sene or ‘coal oil’ as fuel instead of the long trip were tightening a lubriThe new fuel worked cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud however gasoline There were some people These penalties were not Inguard who were sceptical as to whether or splendidly throughout the not the new fuel could be used with journey and all claims made in its flicted until more than 2000 miles First of had been completed with an absolutecomplete success and therefore the behalf were fully proven makers of the White Car the White all as regards cheapness the White ly perfect score” A -
