NEW YORK, July J).-Advoet have
been received at the offices of the Ameri
can Automobile assoctaton touring bureau
from the national tour start committee
at Detroit, Mich., of which Robert K.
Davie is president and F. E. Spooner is
secretary, that the time of the start
is Inimical to that city, which had orig
inally scheduled October 8, in the belief
that President Taft and' Speaker Clark
would be there lor the national good
roads congress and would then start
the event The Detroltere have asked
now that the date be set at any time
after the close of the state fair to be
held In that city, and which closes on
September SL
The Detroit committee was regularly
organised at a recent meeting when. the
above officers, president and secretary,
were elected, and Leonard Davis was
chosen treasurer. "William E. Metsger
and Howard Watrous being the other
two members thus far. Another appointee
from the Board of Commerce to aid R.
K. Davis and William E- Metsger will
be made. F. E. 8pooner and Leonard
Davis with the late appointee, Howard
Watrous, represent the Wolverine Auto
mobile club, and the Detroit Automobile
Dealers' association has yet to announce
its members for the committee. Several
sub-oommtttees will ba appointed, as De
troit promises to give the tour a sendoff
excelling the start In 1909. when th
tourists left the City of the Straits more
than . delighted. At that time tens of
thousands sent the tourists on thejr long
Journey with best wishes, and from the
Interest now shown by the makers and
civic bodies of Detroit, the 1913 start
will be quite as memorable.
Boat to Be Potermtaed.
f No definite information has as yet
been given regarding the exact route,
Detroit, Memphis and New Orleans belnr
the only three cities named. By what
routes these three will be connected is
not known, and will not be until the
pathfinder has made Its trip. Much of
the district to be traversed must be
explored In a painstaking way In order
that the route selected may not be a
duplicate of that route to Dallas, Tex.,
which proved so disastrous. The De
troltefs are anxious to make Indianapolis
a Sunday stop If possible on the 1.500
mlle Journey and it is not Improbable
that the route will be laid that way,
Reports from Dotrolters to the effeot
that the automobile manufacturers there
are- taking the liveliest Interest In the
great classic, and that many cars will
be entered from the Wolverine state to
compete for the Gildden Anderson and
American Automobile association troph
ies. Where few of the makers entered
teams last year, the record-breaking" en
try list being made up for the most
part In private entries, there ie every
Indication not only In Michigan, but also
n Indiana and Ohio, , according to a
traveling representative, who interviewed
the makers, that they will be generously
represented this season. The motion of
the good roads cause in a district in which
many automobiles are being sold and
to which the good roods cause is vital.
Throughout the southern district. In
Which the tour will bo seen, numerous
entries are ' certain, as the southern
country has always come forward will,

Importance, which favored that section
as a destination. .

REMEM3EREDJNHER PRAYERS
Woman's Hard Lock Story and Its
Effect on Inquisitive
Frtvnd. i
When the two women who had not
stayed all night together for twelve yean
got ready to go to bed the older woman
said: . -
'Yon don't mind my saying my prayers
out loud, do you? Somehow I have had
a very foolish notion about praying, for
the last few years. I Imagine God can
hear me better it I say things out loud,"
The hostess tor the night said, "Cer
tainly not" and there was a guilty
tremor In her voloe as "she said it for
she remembered that it bad been a long
whita slnoe she had' Said her prayers out
loud or any. other way except when at
church. She listened, half in tears, half
in awe, to the low voice of the older
woman, but when the last sentence was
reached she sat up In genuine surprise.
"And bless that man whom I saw on
the Northern Pacific railroad and the
one that I met that day en Adams street
In Chicago," prayed the older woman.
The hostess did not say anything until
the lights were turned out Then she
said: .
"I don't want to appear Inquisitive,
but if you don't mind I wish you would
tell me what you meant by praying for
those two men just now. Don't tell It
you would rather not but-it really did
sound queer."
The older woman lay silent for so lone
that the hostess feared she had offended
her, and began an apology, but the other
Interposed.
"Oh, that Is air right," she said; "I
don't mind telling. You already know.
in a' vague way. that I have had a
pretty hard time' In the last . twelve
years. How hard you can never know.
If I ' should tell you you wouldn't be

uappenea .. in me ursi part or mac
period I never talk about; I cannot bear
to talk about them they hurt too much.
However, I do not mind telling about
those two men.
"One of them came east over the
Northern Paolfie road when I did. I
do not know his name. I was so wor
ried that I didn't pay much attention
to him X paid so little attention, in
fact that five minutes after he had
left the train I could not remember
what he looked like. I have a faint re
membranoe that he was short and slight
and rather poorly dressed, and that he
had a very kind face. He must have
had a kind face, because my boy took
such a fancy to him. The child was a
little fellow then, only S months old, and
he grew very fretful on-the long trip.
When people found I was traveling across
the American continent alone they were
very kind and offered to help take care
of the child, but nobody could do much
except that man, because the child would
not go to anybody but him. Hour after
hour he tended him when I got' tired out
but still I scarcely gave the man a second
thought, although, of course, I was grate
ful in a tired, listless sort of way.
"I did, however, open my heart to a
little old lady, who was also kind and I
told her that I should probably reach
Chicago almost penniless, and that I did
not know what I should do. Shortly
after confiding In her the man came and
said good-bye. We were n earing his
station, and he wished me a safe Journey

end. I do not even remember the name
of his station, but I know It was some
where near Fargo. We hailed each other
for the last time as the train passed on.
and I noticed then how worn his clothes
were.
"X few minutes after we left his
town the old lady visited me again.
She had something better than gentle
words that . timo-ho had rooney-a
ten-dollar bill. The man had Intrusted
It to her to give to me. It was a little
sum only ten dollars but it looked as
big as the side of a house to me then,
and I have no doubt that It looked
equally big to the man. and that it
meant quite a sacrifice to part with it.
I have often wished that I could thank
him, but there has been no way. I do
not 'know his address.- I do not know
his name, but he kept me from actual
want in the kindest most delicate way
a man could devise to assist a woman,
and with all my heart I bless him for it.
"The Adams street man waa also a

day when I waa going down town ex

day, but nothing did. I had expected a

I bad expected work; I got none. I ,
was literally at the end of the tether
and things looked desperately dark,
"In the shadow of a big wholesale
house not far from the bridge the man
came up and spoke to me. I supposed j
he meant to strike up a flirtation, al
though why on earth anybody should
want to flirt with such a distressed
looking creature as I was then I can
not imagine. I don't remember what
he said, but whatever it was it set me
crying. I was so miserable that It
didn't take much to do that
"And then presently X talked, I mufit
have been out Of my senses to talk
so to a perfect stranger. I told him,
in an' incoherent sort of way, that I
had been disappointed about . the work
and about the letter, and that I was

"He stepped back and looked at me
aghast.
" 'Good God!' he said. 'Good God!'
"And then I felt him press some
thing Into my hand.
" 'You poor child,' ha said. Take
this foe a Christmas present for the
boy it lacked but a few days to

"Before I could clear by eyes of tears
he had gone, but had left a five-dollar
bill in my hand. I never saw the man
again. I wouldn't know pirn even if I
