This Is another story of the
"Roads of Destiny" a story O.
Henry might well have woven
from the colorful thread of his
Imagination, and yet a story to
'T rove that truth is indeed stran

history of John Tyler, seventy-four-year-old
evangelist who has
arriTed In Salem to held, meetings.
Ha Is suffering with a severe cold
tut will be well by Sunday. I
The fortyfive years John Tyler
followed one road without hesita
tion or deviation, a road leading
through, the fastest otlast .society
la New York, London and Paris,
R-i.Ha a fortune was squandered in
riotous lltLigrinto lhe toIItttde"of
the Australian.bush, to finally end
in the squalor of the gutters of
New York. Then came a parting
of the ways and for the first time
in his life, John Tyler thought on
his past.'- V , r
Seventeen years, five months
ead nlneteea days ago at, 7:30
o'clock last night, he limped, a
sodden wreck, to a bench in. Mul
berry Bead Park, Little Italy In
?Tew York City. A fellow bum
upon the tench "rose in protest
when Tyler sat beside him, and it
was the pointed remarks of hia
fellow creature that set John Ty
ler on the upward -path. :.v-
- "Co.". said the stranger, "and
make a hole in it," indicating the
East River that flowed sluggishly
along three blocks to their left
Thats where 'holds' like you be
long - ..
And John Tyler had almost de
cided to go, when the other, re
gretting his brusque manner, told
him of the Jerry 2fcAuley Mission
a few blocks to the right. Tyler
went to the mission. ! was con
verted 'and has since devoted his
life to religious work. -'

American Automobile association
for 1924. .

of that race will add i 500
points 'to his score. The driver
coming In second" will get 260
points and 140 points are award
ed for third. i
Thus, if Cooper can drive the
swift Studebaker Special with
which he was won all his points
thus far, fast enough to win this
race he will become, for the third
time in his career, the crowned
speed king of the year. No other
living driver has achieved such a
record. ' ' :
Cooper's standing now is 1,24 0.
Jimmy Murphy, at time of his
death at Syracuse, N. Y had won
1,593 points, which remains the
high score. At that time It was
believed no other driver had a
chance to overcome the enormous
lead which Murphy had establish

will win the championship this
year. .
The next race was run at Fres

scene of his second race since the
wedding. Jle won second. His mas
cot's presence in the' grandstand
seemed to Impart magic' to his
driving. He led the field from
the 12th to the 6,thC lap. when he
went into the pits. At-the :138th
lap he again took the lead ac
cording to the score board, and
apparently never again. was head
ed. But a recheck of time and
laps gave him second.
Travels Terrific Speed ,:
He made the 172nd lap, of a
mile and a fourth, at the race of
124.6 miles au hour,, but a waving
handkerchief In Mrs. Cooper's box
cautioned ,him and he eased off
to a pace only sufficient to keep
his place. As a result, at the fin
ish, ; his Studebaker Special was
running like a watch.
