An idea of the interest created by the arrival of the (ireat Northern Huilway' Kxhibition Cars in the different Kastern town can only be gained by the read ing of the report from tin? attendant in charge.

As a proof of the result of our lecture, at least twenty people came to us the fol lowing morning regarding homesteads in the Northwest. The whole town turned out to visit the car, and the opTa house was packed to overflowing at the lec ture. I look for a big movement from this place.

TRUMAN BUTLER, Cushier ESTABLISHED NINETEEN HUNDRED BUTLER BANKING COMPANY Capital and Surplus ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS SAVINGS DEPARTMENT SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES Her Protector An American Wife In Berlin Shows Ability to Take Care of Herself By SARAH EHRLICH Copyright by American Presa Asso ciation, mt Wben Commander llaverslnugh, TJ B. N., went to Berlin as uaval attach at the luiperlul court bla daughter. Louise, wax Just nineteen years old, Though so young, she had been a heart smasher among the cadets at the Naval academy, where her father bod been stationed for three years, besides ha? lng gone through several campaigns at West Point. She could not help flirting not that she went out of her way to And any one to flirt with; in deed, there was nothing aggressive about her. The trouble was that every young fellow she met found In her something that acted as an incentive for him to make love to her. Louise being of a marriageable age while her father was at Berlin, she very naturally married one of the young Germans she met at court, Baron Carl von Illlderschoff, a major In the army and connected with the general staff. Before Commander Iiaverslaugh would consent to the marriage he told the baron that Louise was a natural flirt, but that her flirta.- tions were Innocent and be need have no fear of her disgracing him or her self. The commander exacted a prom lse that the baron would trust her, relying entirely on her sense of honor and self respect to choose the right path. It was not long after the marriage that Baron von Illlderschoff was or dered away from Berlin on some tem porary duty. There was one man In Berlin, Gouut Gethart, who had been attentive to Louise before ber mar riage. This man the baron disliked and distrusted. Before leaving the capital he said to his Intimate friend. Captain Manteufel: I am obliged to leave my young wife for a few weeks here, and I wish to leave her In your charge. You see, I don't wish her to be lonely. There is one man hero I don't like. As soon as I am gone he will attempt to be de voted to her. I wish you to be so at tentive to her that be will have no opportunity. You understand?" Perfectly. And I feel very much flattered at your confidence In me. Who Is the man?" "Count Gethart.' "H'm! You are quite right; be Is a dangerous man. Is your wife to know of your placing hor In my care?" Well, no. I don't suppose there will be any necessity for you to Interfere In the matter. It Is only in case Gethart becomes aggressive, you know." I see. Well, old fellow, I promise to do the best I enn In the matter, though I do not expect any notion on my part will be necessary." Von IliUleiscboff departed, and Man teufel called upon the baroness. In deed, he miidc several calls, and to give an excuse for doing so be told her that ber husband, fearing she would be lonely during his absence, bad asked him to drop In once In awhile to cheer her up. Now, Louise, being an American with plenty of American shrewdness, sus pected that something had passed be tween her husband and his friend of which she had not been made aware by the latter, if the cnptaln's good of fices were to !e confined to keeping her from being lonely her husband would have told her that he had made such a request of hi friend. When a woman wishes to get a secret she usually suc ceeds. It was not long before she had wormed out of Manteufel that he had been commissioned to protect her from Count Gethart. Commander Ilaverslaugh's warning had not been heeded. It so hapieued that Yon Gethart met his old flame nt a social function the very evening after Manteufel hud "let the cat out of the bag." She was very gracious to him and danced with him. Manteufel saw them together and as soon as tho dance was over Joined them. Louise straightway dismissed Gethart and walked away on the arm of Manteufel. Manteufel treated her during thereat of the evening as he would have treat ed a schoolgirl who had been placed under bis orders and biul been dis obedient. She seemed to be very peni tent and promised not to do so any more. Not only this the next day she wrote a note to her protector express ing more penitence. That the baroness' penitence was only skin deep was evident from the fact that sho saw as much of Von Gethart as of Manteufel. The latter, still Insensible to the fact that his In terest In his charge was rather for himself than her husband, protested to the baroness against her accepting at tentions from a mnn her husband dis liked and distrusted. The baroness claimed that she could not decline them without giving offense. From this moment the bitter feelings that had en tered the brenst of Manteufel were turned principally against the man In stead of the woman. Meanwhile the baroness was writing loving letters to her husband. In which the never failed to mention the many kind acts of his friend Manteufel. She also wrote that she had met Gethart at a soclnl function and that he hud called npon her. This, she said, had seemed to excite the disapprobation of Man teufel. She did not like to repulse Ge thart, fearing to make trouble. She longed for the day wben ber husband would return and relieve her of an em barrassing portion. To this the baron replied that be would be nt home on a certain date, arriving on a midnight train. The evening of Von Hilderschoff's expected arrival the baroness wrote a note to her protector and one to the man from whom she was being pro tected, asking them to cull upon her. They met. The scowl that lowered upon Manteufel's brow was 'like a thunderstorm In the Alps. Believing that he acted in the Interest of his friend Instead of from tbu promptings of Jealousy, forgetting that he bad not been commissioned to pick a quarrel with the man bis friend disliked, be walked right Into a trap uud before he had been In Von Gelbart's presence half an hour had in the most gentle manly manner In the world Insulted him. It happened In this wise: "I do not think," aald the baroness, "that your men In Germany have the respect, the reverence, for women our men In America have." "You are right, baroness," said Man teufel, looking fiercely at Gethart. "We have here In Berlin men who would not hesitate to take advantage of a woman left unprotected by ber husband." A brief silence marked this throwing down the gauntlet, after which the lady turned the conversation into oth er channels. A few minutes later Ge thart bowed himself out, and the bar oness Indicated to Manteufel that she would prefer to be alone. As soon as be had gone she called In a manserv ant and said to him: "Ilelnrlch, I have a very delicate Job for you." "What Is it, baroness?" "Count Gethart and Captain Manteu fel are about to fight a duel. I wish you to Inform me as to the time and place of the meeting." 'I could not well do that, baroness, except that the valet of Count von Gethart is my friend. This may help me out." lAt 12 midnight Baron von Illlder schoff returned and found bis wife waiting to greet him. "Well," he said after exhausting or dinary matters that had occurred dur ing his absence, "bow about this Von Gethart? lias he been offensive In his attentions?" "Not at all, but your friend Captain Manteufel has been more loyal to yon during your absence than has been necessary." "How so?" "He evidently knows that you don't like the count and has assumed to keep him away from me." "So?" "Yes. They met here this evening. Manteufel insulted Von Gethart, and they are going to fight" 'So?" repeated the baron, opening his eyes very wide. "Yes. The affair will be the talk of Berlin." "Great heaven!" exclaimed the bar on. "We must interfere." "now?" "I have sent Ilelnrlch to discover the time and place. I am expecting him back every moment." "ITlmmel, may he be successful!" It was 2 o'clock wben Ilelnrlch re turned, and all he knew was that a carriage had been ordered by Count von Gethart to be at his door at 4 o'clock In the morning. But this was not enough. The baron and his wife ordered their own carriage to be ready at half past 3. drove to a point near the count's residence, saw him leave and followed him to a grove near the city, where bis carriage stopped and he and a companion alighted. Another carriage had Just arrived. The baron and baroness alighted some dis tance from the others. The day was breaking when they saw two men tak ing positions for a duel. Then they ad vanced. Gentlemen." cried the baron, "will you kindly Inform me as to the cause of this quarrel?" Both men, astonished, stood mute. "I have been Informed by the bar oness," continued von Illlderschoff, "that there has been trouble between you two. If my wife has anything to do with it I beg you to put up your swords. Neltner of you need be con cerned about ber. I alone assume to defend her." Both the men addressed looked as If they wished tho earth would open and swallow them, but It was Manteufel who seemed especially crushed. He had gone on the field believing that he was protecting his friend's wlfa but cherished a hope that knowledge of tho quarrel might never reach bis friend. "Gentlemen." said the baroness with certain sweetness that never de serted her, "we should be pleased to see you both at dinner this evening." "You are very kind, but" began the count "Really, baroness, you must ex cuse" began tho captain. But the lady simply put them both in the po sition of being tingallant If they de clined, and both gave a reluctant acceptance. Tho party left the field In the con veyances by which they had come. After n brief nap the baron, at his wife's request, called upon Gethart and Manteufel and persuaded them to meet as friends at her house. "Something of this may leak out," he said, "and If you two men meet at dtnner under my roof the story will be nipped In tho bud." Tills was an argument that struck home with both the men addressed, and in the evening they met at the dinner under nt least the guise of or dinary friendliness. Tho next day the? baroness sent Cap tain Manteufel tho letters he had written her during her husbaud's ab sence, and. reading them over, be was astonished to see that he hnd shown every evidence of Jealousy and infat uation for his charge.

Hauvett Mkbelln, head of the big tire works at Mllltown, New Jersey, stated that the greatest drawback to a more general use of nntl-sklds In this country has been the added cost, as the motorist already has a complete set of rublier-trend tires which he does not want to discard. "As a matter of fact," continued Mr. M It'll ellne, "four Antl Skid tires are not necessary, only two tielng required to assure safe driving under all road conditions. One anti skid should lie fitted on one of the front wheels, and one on the opposite rear wheel. If the driver sits on the right side, then the best disposition of the antl-skld tires Is one on the right front wheel and tine on the left rear wheel, but If the rar drives from the left side, like Iteo cars and Fords, then the antl skids should be fitted to the left front and right rear wheels. Of course the two ruldier-tread tires that are re moved when the antl-sklds are fitted may I kept for spares for the two wheels still carrying ordinary tires. "The advantages of the tire equip ment suggested, are, first, safety Ie- cause the two antl-sklds prevent ac cidents due to skidding when driving; on wet or muddy or ice-covered roads, and second, the two rubber- tread tires hold firmly on bard dry pavements. Then again the economy of a Mlcbellne combination Is appar ent, only two skids being required Instead of four. Users of small or medium powered cars are now en abled to adopt antl-sklds at a mod erate Investment. Of course drivers of heavy limousines and other high powered cars have always used them." The Mlchelln Company which pro duced the first successful Anti skid tires five years ago, makes a steel studded leather-tread tire that Is at once practically puncture-proof and non-sklddlng, besides being resilient, because the rubber side walls are not confined by the tough, though flexi ble leather tread. L'slng two of these tires as suggested by Mr. Mlchelln, Instead of four seems to solve the skidding problem In a satisfactory and economical manner. Subscribe for the News. J. M. SCHMELTZER F. A.
