This would tend to focus his attention upon these details of car performance that originate in actual travel and which involve the local institutions exist ing for the service and convenience of the car owner. When we sell a man a car we not only sell him a good car, but we deliver with it the certainty of satisfaction in ownership. Everything in this estab lishment except our stock of cars exsts to guarantee that our customer shall realize his expectations every, day he drives the car we sell him. GUY L.

A Great Industrial Worker There isn’t any doubt about the de pendability, adaptability, effieieney or economy of the Fordson Tractor. These things have all been proved by the most severe tests on farms all over the country where more than 170,(XX) of them are in daily use. Light, easy to handle and operate in small spaces, there is absolutely no doubt about the practicability of the Fordson for industrial uses. This has been proved by manufacturers in most every line, const ruction and ex cavating engineers, cementing con tractors, coal and building supply concerns, street and road building contractors, cities, towns and vil lages.

Our mother superior always so zealous for the honor of our order has asked us specially, spe cially . . . the bishop has so much to say about one of the sisters of the St. Francis order because of the conversion of a Swedish sailor, whom she nursed In their hospital. The mother superior hopes very much that some one in our order. . . .” "Yes, yes. I understand," said the great lady, nodding. The nun went on, deferentially. “Madame la Marquise Is so good to be willing to come to call on the for eign lady! I shall see to It that the foreign lady understands the honor done her.” They looked about them In silence now, the restrained calm of their faces uncolored by their thoughts. Hearing steps in the hall. Soeur Ste. Lucie shook out her long black peeves to cover her hands more completely, and cast down her eyes so that her sweet, rosy, wrinkled old face was once more blank and impassive. Anna Ktchergary was waiting at the door of her Joge as they descend ed the stairs, and she ran before them out to the old closed carriage, which stood at the curb. Bowing deferen tially and murmuring under her breath, ", . . Madame la Marquise . . ." she held the door open for them.' The lady smiled her thanks at her, a preoccupied, well-modulated smile which took for grunted the def erence and the service. As the nun stepped Into the car riage she sa d with unction, "Now l see how lives in the world can be as useful to Our Lady as those of the convent. No one cuuld have resisted rnadame this afternoon. To have a great name and all worldly graces, and to use them only for the greater glory of Our Ladyt" The carriage proceeded very slowly and rackirigly over the rounded bould ers of the pavement. Inside it, the two women, accustomed to such Jolt' ings, thrust their arms through the broad, hanging loops, and went on talking. "Not a disagreeable person." said the great lady In a kind tone of tolerance. "A very middle class little woman, but no harm in her, I should say. I was afraid to find some one not quite—you know it is said that American women are not very moral —so many divorces in America." "And still you went . . .!" breathed the rtun, lost In admiration of the ether's heroic devotion, "when you tan the risk of meeting a divorced woman!” The marquise mad» another gentle fatigued gesture of warding off praise It was a practised gesture as though she had occasion to make It often. After a time she said, "Odd she should bo so interested in the cathedral here, and yet a fro, think er. What rnad-a her talk so much about the Sou'll Portal? I nev, r heard of anything unusual about it, i did you? Except that that disagree able, anti clerical fountain is some j where near there, to the memory ol those wicked revolutionists.” j The nun shook her h«-nd. indiffer ently.

"I don't believe I ever saw it eithoi Why should any one? You nrver enter from that side. Nobody lives on the rue d Uspagne, that anybody would ever have occasion to visit.” Ill May 20, IS1)*. Anna Etchergary measured ac curately the social status of the two ladies who asked f r Madame Alien's apartment, and without getting up. or stopping her sewing, she answered In ihe careless tone suitable for p?o pie w ho wore home-made h its and cotton gloves, that Madame Alien was at the top of the first flight.

Mile ilaspurret: c vv music lessons, as well as teaching school. Probably she had c-mt« to try to be taken on as Marise's music- i teacher. The two ladles were mounting »he; stairs In silence and very slowly, be- j reuse the school-teacher hnd taken off her cotton gloves and was putting on a pair of kid ones, which she had pulled from her handbag. She ex plained half apologetically, to ht r sis ter, who had only cotton gloves, "It's to do honor to America!" and then with a long breath, "The first Anter lean 1 ever saw." "What do you rare If It Is. Itachel?" asked her sister languidly. She added with more animation, "Your hat is over one ear again.” They were now on the landing, hesl fating between the two i xnetly similar doors. Rachel made a quick derision at random, crossed to the right hand side, and pulled the bell rope. The door opened, and showed the upright frame of Jeanne Amlgorena. There was a moment of mutual sur prise, and exclamations of greeting and Inquiry. "Why, Jeanne, you here’ I thought you were on the farm at Midnssoa!” Jeanne broke nut upon them with a great rush "f Basque, enchanted to see fitnllinr faces, enrlpjhtcd to U.'ve a new nudlertce.

Faioam at 2flth UA 0710 Open Today Until Nonn They are such queer people, I cant] tell you! Madame Hardoye had been listen ing to this flood of talk, her lively in terest In the matter struggling with her distaste for Jeanne's familiar manner. She now broke in with an accent which she meant to express. "There you've talked quite enough. After all, though my sister has queer Ideas, we are not in your class. AVe are not peasants. And it's high time you re membered that." What she actually said in a curt tone' was, "Where do we ring to make a call on your mis tress?" Jeanne understood the Implication perfectly. It was one quite familiar to her. With a change of manner she motioned them silently across the hall. "There," she said laconically, her face suddenly hard and somber. Rachel Hasparren also understood the implication nad flushed an even more vivid color than that habitually on her dark cheeks. She held out her hand, her kid-gloved hand, to Jeanne, with a defiant gesture of equality, "Good by, Jeanne. I'm- glad we had a glimpse of you.” Rachel advanced provocatively, "Did you hear what old Jeanne said, how the American lady would not put a dog to sleep in lodgings in which we French expect to house our Her vants?" The married sister resented this spiritedly. "Spoiling servants for the rest of us, that's w*hat it is!" she said Impatiently. "And what good does it do? You saw how old Jeanne only thinks the less of her for it. The more you try to do for that class, the less they think of you." "That's because Jeanne's whole na ture has been degraded by our caste Ideals!" shouted Rachel. "She's a poor, superstituous, medieval old thing, incapable of ordnary decent human relations. If she'd lived in America. . . !" Angele pulled the other bell cord here with an air of cutting short an other outburst, and they both stood silently looking at the closed door, which presently was opened by little Isabelle. As they went down the stairs. Angele remarked, "Well, she s-o-ms ,'o be all right. Like everybody else, as far as I can see. I expected to see her with a Liberty cap on her head and swinging a lighted bomb, to hear you going on." Rachel was taking off her kid gloves and putting- on cotton ones. She said dreamily, her black eyes deep and glowing-, "When 1 asked her how. the peasants lived in America, she said . . . the d*-ar American . . . 'there aren't any peasants in Amer ica.’ 11 Her dark (lushed rate was shining as they r; me out on ihe rue Thiers and stood for an instant, glancing up at the battlemented wails of the dark old Castle. Rachel suddenly shook her fist at it. her cotton gloved lint, and cried out, "You needn't glower like that, you hideous oi l relic of u a evil past! There s a great, wide, rich country across the seas, that never lo-arj of such as you. that n»ver had a. feudal castle In it. that Isn't darkened by a I still throw down on us here."

M 's i here Am.es Je v us dem in E pardon for being • pi rnlsed to wiite just ns si*, n as we got here. But, chere amies. I know you would forgive me if you knew how marvelous our new life is hi re In this old, beautiful, clvliir' I world. I have just bean letting myself go'ln it. just grabbing at Its charm and won dcr, and all 1 can tell you is that Europe Is even more wonderful than 1 thought. 1 Just wish every one of jou could persuade your husbands, ns I did, to take a position that will b'ing you across the seas to 'his bled old land of story and art." You owe It to your children to give them the culture which they w.irld get here. But let me begin first with the ma tt-rial things. Mr. Allen, you know, felt sort of badly because the position hero didn't seem to be as important and have as big a salary as the Job the company offered him in Chicago —Chicago! Well, you cannot imagine anything like the cheapness of the life here. We have two flats of six room* each, on the same floor, Just the landing between them. 12 rooms in all, furnished elaborately down to the Inst little things In the kitchen even, and we pay about half the rent we paid In Belton for our unfurnish ed house. There is perhaps a little old-world dlnglness about the wall pa per and the curtains and things, but that only adds to the delightful at mosphere and makes you realize that you are really In old Europe and not raw young America. We have two maids for Ess than J.1 a week each, aid aueh mal-U' In America wn haven't any idev iVhat it is lo have good s« \ a n in n • expected to lift my hand or think about the housekeeping. My old cook, the most fascinating creature, in a quaint peasant's costume, takes all the responsibility on her own shoulders. She gets up frightfully early in the morning, and goes off to inaiket with a big flat basket, and comes bringing It on her head all filled with the loveliest things to eat you ever saw’, and bought for almost nothing! But she buys just as closely for me as she would for herself. Servants Identify themselves with the family of their masters here, and are glad to! I know the wcyld "masters'' sounds very un-American; but one so soon gets used to the vocabulary of the country. Pardonnez mol! Jeanne—that Ib our cook—brings our breakfast to us In bed. all ex cept of course for Mr. Allen, who can't seem to adapt himself to other ways of living. Then, as I am getting dressed, Jeanne comes In, with a clean apron to "take her orders," in the good old European way. And from that min ute. on, I have no more bother about It. Everything Is set on the table at the right time, beautifully cooked, the house is kept clean and in the most perfect order. (Continued In Tlio Momlnx Bee.)
