and free from any suspicion of senility.
It is one of the stories that reflects
the trend of the tiroes, as indeed all
good literature, whether fact or fancy,

be read ta years to com with the sara
, wonderment at its lawless laborers, its
, greed and graft of monopoly, as w now

. Rob Roy , or the persecutions and suf
ferings of Jean Val Jean; but like them,
It has sprung from the economto con
ditions of the times In which It was
- written,-and so closely has th- author
,.. confined himself to current history In
his treatment of capital and labor that

not wholly that of capital and labor
Indeed, with on tremendous exception.
' it Is a struggle between capital and
capital for supremacy In th little fac
tory town of Hampstead. Connecticut.
' i Th story opens with a pretty little
scene with Jack Gilbert, the Idolised son
of the good old Dr. Gilbert and his
Scotch wife. BiUy McNlsh. the little
Strang boy. and Clare Hardy, th only
child and heir of - th substantial old
' firm of Hardy Y Son.
Dr. Gilbert's worship of this only son
... was th wonderment of his friends and
neighbors, who could see little to ad-
mlr In th overgrown., ungainly boy.
' On other, though, saw points In th
boy, and that was old Colonel Mead,
the veteran comrade of Dr. Gilbert.
In his effort to provide bountifully
for th boy's future, th father made

might present a type of th coming

Th Country Road," by Alio Brown.
It is universally conceded that It re-
qulrea-.raatei-aeiiluato-wrLLa a good
short story than a long novel, and by
this token Mis Brown may be recog
nised as a writer of remarkable ability.
for th present book Is a collection of
short stories of New England country
life of great power and sweetness, as
well as of fascinating Interest. .
Th book, contains a "baker's, dozen"
of short stories, all Of th homely country-folk,
with their idiosyncrasies of
language and quaint customs, and with
little snatches, as it were,, of their
veryday life of living and loving, with
no more of th tragedies than com to
very' on; yet these are woven Into
such pleasant llttl tales that th read'
er feels h Is being conducted quit
away from th ordinary paths, and Is
nMUDa' wnoiesom lot of folks that

for having been Introduced to.
This style of people characterises th
former stories of Miss Brown, who has
written enough to make Tb Country
Road" com far down on a long list of
books to her credit. She has not, how
over, confined herself to short stories,
but has written several novels of more
than ordinary merit, but from all she
has written, .it would be hard to eeleet
any that stands higher in interest or
literary value that "The Country Road."

"Confessions of a Detective," by Al
fred Henry Lewis.- In parenthesis and
modest type, are th words: "A Study
In Graft" and to those who have read
"Th Boas," It will be recognised at
onoe as another of Mr. Lewis' inimit
able stories of New Tork politics, which
th author has so cleverly presented In
fiction, but every word of which Is con
firmed by facts.
-"Graft Ton want me to gtv you a
sort of graft-map, - do you t - There
wouldn't be room on Manhattan Island

undercurrent of graft undisturbed. Not

Harvesting Machines. General Manager and ;
Consulting Engineer of Leffler Electric System.
You'll Have to
To prove that you will st a aTuar
deal I hav had th following contract
printed on th back of vary certificate:
All or any shares of th capital
stock of ths Leffler Electric System
will" be redeemed by . it at par or
face value up to and Including th
10th day of May, A. 1921, upon
written notlc properly given to
said company at Its executive of
do In Chicago, Illinois, In a man
ner and form as provided by Its
by-laws, and adopted by a majority
of th stockholders, of this com
pany, so that all stocks so offered
for . redemption, within any given
period, may share equally and pro
portionately. However, th stock
of this company la only redeem
able from funds received, or to be
received as royalties- from, rail
road companies using th patents
of this company under lloense, and
after proper . notlc -as aforesaid,
whichmay tie received from stock
holders direct, or from such of Bald
stock in payment for transporta
tion or otherwise. PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, no stock shall be re
deemed until after May 10th, 1J00,
xoept at th option of th com
pany. . ,
This Contract Means
his company' will - pay yea full
face value for every share of stock you
buy out of the royalties paid by . rail
road comDanles ualna my system.
Ton can us your stock as cash In
payment for far or freight .on any road
using my system.
You see every road that uses my
system will hav to pay our company
a royalty every year simply for th
right to us It. These railroad com
panies would Just as soon pay us with
thes certificates as to pay cash, and
th certlflcatea would b th earn as
caah to us.
This contract means that If you
boucht 100 shares at th present price,
you would be abl to get at least $1,000
from any railroad using my system. Or
you could turn th certificates of stock
In to us and aet 11.000 in caah when
ther la royalty money in our treasury,
I don't think you will aver want to sell
because of the enormous dividends we
will pay. But, If you ahould be com
pelled to sell, your certificate would be
worth Its full face value.
This makes It absolutely impossible
for any stockholder to be frozen out of
th oompany. . . : ,

Every share of stock In our oompany
la on th square. Not a dollar's worth
of the stock will be eold which does not

r What Expert Engineers Say.
I am not th only on who thinks thla
la th moat perfect, simple, cheap, and
comfortable railway system known.
Three, of th most expert engineers In
this country have carefully examined
my system. and ridden on my car, and
they hays written reports on -what they
saw and found- Thes enaineees are:
John Erieaon, city engineer of Chicago;
Carl . L. Lehmann. consulting engineer
of Chicago, and F.'W. Cappelen, former
city engineer of Minneapolis, Minn.
They declare this system successful.
simple and practical, and point out
many other features wherein the Leffler
system Is an Immense Improvement
over any other system now known to be
In existence. Other unprejudiced and
scientific xprts hav pronounced th
system wonderfully simple and simply
wonderful. The reports will be ent to
any on upon request. v
My Automatic Signal Service
I absolutely prevent collisions. Every
where a car move It sends signals
ahead and behind. It Is not affected by
storms or any weatber condition. My
signal system does not require either
hand or mind of man to operate.' No
wires or poles ere exposed where
storms ean blow them down or Interfere
with them. If through soma accident
on signal Is broken or otherwise put
eut of commission another signal Im
mediately takes Its place. Every train
dispatcher and operator on the road can
go to sleep and my signal woraa auto
matically. When train come .together
too closely, head on or from the rear, an
eleotrto bell rings vigorously In the
levertnan's cab.
Cars Under Absolute Control
It Is all controlled by one lever. The
leverman starts, stops and reverses with
the same lever. Snow, Ice, aleet, rain,

sums of money, . The great successful barb wire business today is built on my .patents,

laregly based on my inventions. . v . , . .. , ;

v-I -absolutely-mrfol the next great step- forward in the railroad world in my patents. Why?
Because steam has run its limit I Steam cannot run a train 100 miles an hour and keep -it up.
The trolley and present. third-rail systems cannot be depended upon for long distances. Their
. motors are likely to burn out any minute. With my system I can run a train any distance in any
kind of weatherjwithout a hitch or breakdown, 8Q.ta.200 miles an hour, with, perfect safety. By
' my' ,TStenl' f wheel broke or a rail broke the ears would stay exactly in position on the track.
'They could not do otherwise. They could not jump the track at any speed. It would be im
possible to run my cars off the end of a track into a river where a bridge is open. My car would
stop itself even if ike .leverman was asleep.. " ' i
I know this whole system to be a success, because I have tried it for two years! During that
time millionaires have tried b get control of my system, but I would not let them,' because I
preferred to protect my own and small stock-holders' investments. r .. -'
