LION CLOTHIERS i 66-1 70 THIRD ST. PORTLAND OOOOOO0OOO000tO o o o o 8 o o o o The Little Green Auto It Brought Great Joy Into the Lives of Two People By ALICE E. ALLEN Copyright, 1S10. by American Press Association. O o o 0000000000000O Why I first watched for that particu lar automobile I don't know perhaps because It was dark green lustead of red, perhaps because there was room in it for only two people. Terhaps, though, the real reason why I watched the little green auto mobile was because of the man who drove It The hour after the green automobile passed our porch was the best one I bad gll day, because, you see. I was well and strong, like other people, and I rode away In the green automobile. Always I wore a pretty long coat warm days It was soft and silky, and cold days It was soft and furry and the prettiest bat and a pale blue Tell with long ends, just like the other la dles In tbelr autos. Really, though, after I once flew away round the cor ner and along the smooth, broad road beyond I never once thought again of what I wore, for there was the count try. Sometimes the road wound be tween beautiful wind blown meadows of daisies and tall grasses; sometimes it lost itself In tangles of sweet, moist woods; sometimes it ran down - hills and across bridges only to climb other hills with other sunny spaces, other patches of woodland and other bills beyond. Of course I was too old to play such things. Hut if one hasn't walked a step in five years and never can walk again one has to Imagine things some times. Then came the day when Billy, the little boy next door, fell asleep In the middle of the road. 1 called and called, but I couldn't wake him, nor make his mother In the next house hear, nor any mother, nor any one. And then, Just as I knew it would, the green automobile came flashing round the corner from the city. I leaned out as far as I could. I waved my blue shawl. The man in the automobile must have been look ing my way that time, for almost at once he stopped. I pointed to BUly. He jumped out of the car, picked Billy up just as carefully and laid him on the grass under the maple tree. Then be lifted his rap to me, and away he went In the little green auto. O j Well, the very next day the green O ' automobile ran so slowly past our bouse I almost thought it was going to stop. Billy was playing under the tree. The man In the auto called to him and banded him a large square package. Thou he lifted bis cap to me again, and away he went round the comer out Into the country. Billy came running to me. "Mister said." said Billy, handing me the package, "ter give this ter you." "To me 7 ."Yep, fer the tittle goil on the porch, mister said. An' be guv me a dime." I opened the package. There were two beautiful books bound In blue and full of colored pictures. Three days later Billy brought me another pnekage. In It was the love liest doll, all in soft blue, with forget menot blue eyes and golden brown curls. You must give it back." said moth er. Her voice was so stern I scarcely knew it was mother's. Then I cried. i ii was uuu cuuuga iu uute uu uy 01 thanking the man in the automobile. I couldn't bear to hurt his feelings by giving back the doll. And by and by mother said, "Well, well, Kathle, nev er mind this timer' Then one day, long before the usual time, when I was sitting In the sun, 1 heard an auto coming. Somehow I knew it was the auto. I tried to move, but 1 couldn't. And Iillly had gone home. The next thing I knew the man In the auto had stopped in front of our house. "Ilello, little bluebird:" he cried. "Fly down here and have a ride with me." I shook my head. "You're not a bluebird? Well, never mind. I!un down, then, and take a nice ride with me. I like little girls." "But I'm not a little girl at all," I cried. "I'm eighteen years old. and I'm taller than mother." The man in the automobile laughed. "Jump up ami show me," he said. "It's true." 1 xalc. "but I can't dhow you 'cause I'm lame." What do you suppose happened?

Tliwi I saw u big rod cur ultii 11 top iiutl room Iu It for four'or live people come proudly around the corner from the city. On the Lack seat was a lady with a lovely gray veil. She looked my way and smiled. The auto stopped In front of our house. Up the walk came the lady. "Vou are Miss Kathleen Lester?" she said. She tool; both my hands. "I atu Wright Kngleby's sinter." Then 1 remembered that Wright Ku gleby was the man In the Utile green auto. And there he was Iu the big red auto lifting bis cap and smiling In JiHt the friendliest way. "Put on some wraps, please, Kath leen," said Wright Engleby's sixter. "You and mother, too, are going to ride with us." When I was ready Mr. Wright Ku gleby picked me up In his arms and curried me down the walk and set me lu the big red auto. And the next minute lie and his sister aud mother and 1 were all flying away around the curve. After that there were many rldes the four of us, and sometimes Hilly scrubbed till be shone. Hut one day, Instead of the big red ear, up to our house came the little green one. Some how It looked like an old friend. Mother kissed me. Then Mr. Wright Engleby carried me out and put me in the car. On aud on we went till we came to streets that were crowded full of big motorcars and little ones, trolley cars and trucks and cabs and all sorts of Vehicles. In one place there was such a Jam we had p stop and wait. In the mltlst of all the noise and burry the man In the automobile put one big hand over both mine. "You will walk again and be well and strong." be said, "but Just as yon are now, little girl, I want U tell you something. I love you. Will you remember?" me do over and over again. I stood up on my two feet. I waved mother away. 1 crept m-ross the porch back of the vines. When the aulo stopped In front of the house t stood oulte alone on the steps of the porch. I threw a fcivs to the man In the auto. Then I did what the surgeon had told me I culd I walked straight down the wall; t..ward the little green nuto. Halfway the man met me. "No!" I cried. . "Don't touch inc. please." I walked, altiinst running, to Billy's Coune and back. I would have been walking yet with the Joy of It had not the run 11 einigi:i me np and set me down In the auto. "Why didn't ymi tell me, little girl?" he cried, "Oh. Wright.'' I cried. "I was so afraid! It seenu il too good to be true. I couldn't beileve It would last. And I If It hadn't I couldn't nflVf' '"irne It : for your sake, (bar. for your Hake!" I I'm ipilte certain the little green I auto had a mind of Its own. Neither j of us had a thcight to spnre it Just I then. Hut all by itself It rounded the curve, mid nwny. away, nway It flew straight Into the heart of the glad green country cither through sympathy or by bribery to nsslst her husband to get nut of tho penitentiary Inclosure. The formation of a plan of escape made a wonderful dlffcrcnco both to Uie primmer and Ills family. The easiest way to turn a child from dis appointment Is to divert his mind with the promise of something to take the place of the object coveted. Tho man Is but the grown child. It was com paratively easy for Maxson to endure his captivity so long as bis mind was occupied with und his hopes were cen tered on his escape. On her second visit to ber husband, she begun lo study the olllciuls (here with a view to selecting one or more of them to Interest In ber case. Max son, being much broken down In Ilea I III at bis entrance Into the prison, suc ceeded in getting himself transferred to the hospital. There Mrs. Maxson while visltlhg him made thu acquaint ance of Thomas lloyle, a hospital ward en, a man with a kind dlsjslilun. She took pains to tell hlni thu slory of her husband's Incarceration how If he bad managed certain lluaiichil transac tions in a different way from what bo did bo would have beeu still a respect ed banker lustead of a felon.
