A Matter of Drsss. . r ELL,, now," Wayland went on as they stepped oft at the hotel, "I am la command or this expedition. From this ou I lead this outfit. When It comes to hotels, railways and the like o' thut I'm bead ranger." Mrs. McFarlane, tired, hungry and a little dismayed, accepted his control gladly, but Berrlo could not at once Hllp aside her responsibility. "Tell the hostler" , ,, . "Not a word!" commanded Norcross, mid the girl, with a smile, submitted to bis guidance, and thereafter his effi ciency, his self possession, his tact de lighted ber. Ho persuaded the sullen landlady to get them supper. He se cured the best rooms In the house and arranged for the caro of the team. . Berrlo was correspondingly less mas culine. In drawing off ber buckskin driving gloves she bad put away the cowgirl and was .silent, a little sad even In the midst of. her enjoyment of his dictatorship. And when be said, "If my fathur reaches Denver In time I want you to meet him," she looked tlie dismay fhii felt, "I'll do it, but I'm scared of him." "You needn't be. I'll see him first and draw bis fire." Mrs. McFarlane Interposed. "We must do a little shopping first. We can't meet your father as we are." . "Very well. It Is arranged. We get In. I find, about noon. We'll go straight to the biggest shop In town. If we work with speed we'll bo able to lunch wlth my father. He'll be at the Pal mer House at 1." '" Berrle said nothing, either In accept- once or rejection of his plan. Her mlud was concerned with new concep tions, now relationships, and when In the hall be took ber face between bis hands and said, ''Cheer up! All Is not J)str she put ber arms about his nock and laid ber cheek against his breast to hide her tears. "Oh, Way land, I'm such an idiot In the city! I'm arraia your rather will despise me." She wolte to new life next morn ing- life of compliance, of following, of dependence upon the Judgment of mother. She stood In silence while her lover paid the bills, bought the tickets and telegraphed their coming to bis father. She acquiesced when be prevented ber mother from telephon ing to the ranch. She compllod when he countermanded her order to have the team sent back at once. His Judg ment ruled, and she enjoyed her sud don freedom from responsibility. It was novel, and It was very sweet to think that she was being cared for as he bad cared for and shielded him in the world of the trail. 'In the railway coach Wayland tact fully withdrew, leaving tuotbor and dnughter to discuss clothes undisturb ed by bis presence. "We must look our best, honey," said Mrs. McFarlane. "Wo will go right to Mine. Crosby at But lie's, and she'll lit us out, I wish we bad more lime, but we haven't, so we must do the host we can." "I want Wuylniid to choose my bat mid traveling suit," repllod Hurrle. "Of course'.' But you've got to have n lot of other things besides." And tliey bent to the Joyous work of ffiak (ng out a list of gauds to bo purchased s soon as (hoy reached Chicago. Wayland came back with a Ponver npor in his baud and a look of dip Rust on bis face. "It's all lu here at toast, the outlines of 1U" i Ilertlo took the Journal and there read the details of Bottle's twiuult iifion (ho foreman. "The light arose liMm a remark concerning the forest miiorvlnr' daughter, Itnnger Settle i cue "t i'd tho gossip and fell upon Hie oilier man, beating him with the butt r his revolver. Friends of the fore man claim I hut tho ranger Is a drunk en bully and should bavo been dis charged loug ago. The supervisor for tm mysterious reason retains thli man, although be Is no Incompetent. II Is also claimed that McFarlnue put h man on tho roll without examina tion." Tho supervisor was the protag onist of the piny, which was plainly political.. The at Kick ujiou bliu was Miter and unjust, and Mis. Md'ar lime again declared her Intention of returning to help him In his light. However, Wayland again proved to her 4 lint ber presence would only emhar in. is (he supervisor. "You would not aid hi in In tho slightest degree. Nash and I.audou are with hi in and will re futo all these charges." This iKwnmier story took (he light out ot their day nnd the smile from Hurries ll, and the women entered the city silent and distressed In spite of the efforts of their young guide. The nearer the girl enmo to tho ordeal of facing the elder Norcross tho mors nhe feared the outcome, but Wayluud kept his air of easy conUdence aud drove them directly to the shopping cantor, believing that under (be Influ ence of IiuIm and gloves they would t' gain I heir customary cheer. In this be was largely Justified. They bad a delightful hour trying on mil linery and coats and gloves. - Silent, blushing, tousled by the bands of ber decorators, Berrle permitted hats to be perched on ber bead and Jackets buttoned and unbuttoned about ber shoulders till she felt like a worn clothes horse. Wayland beamed with delight, but she was far less satisfied than be, and wben at last selection was made she still bad ber doubts, not of tbe clothes, but of ber ability to wear them. They seemed so alien to ber, so restrictive and enslaving. "You're an easy fitter," said the sales woman. "But" here she lowered her voice "yon need a new corset This old one Is out of date. . Nobody Is wear ing blps now." Thereupon Berrle meekly permitted herself to be led away to a torture room. Wayland waited patiently, and wben she reappeared all traces of Bear Tooth forest had vanished. In a neat tailored suit and a very cblc bat, with shoes, gloves and stockings to match, she was so transformed, so charmingly girlish In her aelf conscious glory, that he was tempted to embrace her In tbe presence of tbe saleswoman. But be didn't. He merely said: "I see the gov ernor's finish. Let's go to lunch. You are stunning!" "I don't know myself," responded Berrle. "The only thing that feels nat ural Is my hand. They cinched me so tight I can't eat a thing, and my shoes hurt" She laughed as she said this, for ber use of the vernacular was con scious. "I'm a fraud. Your father will spot my brand first shot Look at my face red as a saddle I" "Don't let that trouble you. This Is tbe time of year wben tan Is fashion able. Don't yon be afraid of the gov ernor. Just smile at him, give him your grip, and he'll melt" "I'm the one to melt I'm beginning now." Notwithstanding bis confident advice Waylnnd led the two silent aud In wardly dismayed women Into the showy cafe of the hotel with some de gree of personal apprehension concern ing the approaching Interview with his father. Of course be did cot permit this to appear In the slightest degree. It pleased him to observe the admir ing glunees which were turned upon Berrle, whose hat became ber mighti ly, and, leaning over, he said In a low voice to Mrs. McFarlane: "Who Is the lovely young lady opposite? Won't you Introduce me?" . This little play being over, he said, "Now, while our order Is coming I'll run out to the desk and see If tbe gov ernor has come in or not" Wayland returned with an Increase of tension In bis face. "He's here! I've sent word saying 'I am lunching In the cafe with ladles.' I think he'll come round.' But don't be afraid of him. He's a good deal rougher on the outside than be la at heart Of course lie's a. bluff old busi ness man and not at all pretty, and he'll transfix you with, a kind of esti mating glare as If you were a tree. but he's actually very easy to manage If you know bow to handle blm. Now, I'm not going to try to explain every thing to him at the beginning. I'm going to Introduce blm to you In a casual kind of way and give him time to take to you both. Ho forma bis likes and dislikes very quickly." "What If be doesn't like us?" lit quired Berrle, wltb troubled brow. "He can't help It" His tone was ao positive that her eyes misted with hap piness. "But here comes our food. I hopo you aren't too nervous to eat Here Is where I shine as provider. This Is the kind of camp fare I can recorameud." Berrle's healthy appetite rose above her apprehension, and she ate with the keen enjoyment of a child, and ber mother said, "It surely Is a treat to get a chanco at somebody else's cook ing." "Don't you slander your homo fare," wnrnod Waylnnd. "It's as good as this, ouly different" Ho sat whero be could watch the door, nnd despite his Jocund pose his eyes expressed growing Impatience and some anxiety. They were all well Into their dessert before ho called out Hero he Is I" Mrs, McFarlane could not see tho Rcwcoiucr from where she sut, but Bertie rose lu great excitement as heavy set, full faced man with short gruy mustache anil high, smooth brow entered the rom. He did not suillo as lie greeted bis sun. mill Ills penetrating gliiucc questioned even before he spoke. Un seemed lo silently ask: "Well, wbnt's all (Ills? How do you happen to he here? Who are these woiueu?'' Wiiylutid kbIiI: "Mrs. McFarlane, this Is my father. Father, this Is Miss Korea McFurluno of Hear Tooth Springs." The elder Norcross shook hands with Mrs. McFarlane politely, coldly, but he betrayed surprise as Korea took bis fingers lu her grip. At his son's solici tation ho accepted a seat opposite Deren, but nfused dessert Waylnnd explained: "Mrs. McFar lane and her daughter quite saved my life over lu the vulley. Their ranch Is the best health resort lu Colorado." "Your . coinplexlou Indicates that," his father responded dryly. "You look something tho way a mau of your age ought lo look. ' I needn't ask bow you aro feeling. " " "You needn't, but you may. I'm feel ing like a new fiddle, barring a bruise nt the back of my head, which makes a 'hnrd lint' a burden. I may as well toll you Drat off that Mrs. McFarlane Is tho wife of tho forest supervisor at Hear Tooth, and Miss Bores Is the able anststitnt of ber father. We are all rank conservationists." Norcross senior examined Berrle pre cisely as If bis eyes were a couple of X ray tubes, and as she 'flushed under bis slow scrutiny ho said, "I was not expecting lo find tbe forest service lu such bands." I I N She Was 80 Transformed That He Was Tempted to Embrace Har. Waylnnd laughed. "I hope you didn't mash his fingers, Berrle." She smiled guiltily. "I'm afraid I did. I hope I didn't hurt you some times I forget." Norcross senior was waking up. "You have a most extraordinary grip. What did it piano practice?" Wayland grinned. "Piano! No the clncb." "Tbe what?" Wayland explained. "Miss McFar lane was brought up on a ranch. She can rope and tie a steer, saddle her own horse, pack an outfit aud all the rest of It" "Oh! Kind of cowgirl, ehr Mrs. McFarlane, eager to. put . Ber rle's better part forward, explained: "She'a our only child, Mr.. Norcross, and as such baa been a constant com panion to her father. She's not all cowhand. She'a been to school, and she can cook and sew aa well." "Mrs. McFarlane comes from an old Kentucky family, father. Her grand father helped to found a college down there." ' ' Wayland'a anxious desire to create a favorable Impression of the women did not escape the lumberman, but his face remained quite expressionless as be replied: "If theltfe of a cowhand would give you tbe vigor this young lady appears to possess I'm not sure but you'd bet ter stick to it" ' Wayland and tbe two women ex changed glances of relief. "Why not tell him now?" they seem ed to ask. But he said: "There's a long story to tell before we decide on my career. Let's finish our lunch. How Is mother, and how are the girls?" 1 CHAPTER XVIII. - J The Private Car. -jyNCE, In the midst of a lame I 1 pursuit of other topics, the I I elder Norcross again fixed bis eyes on Berea, saying, "I wish my girls bad your weight and color."' He paused a moment, then r- umed with wenry Inflection: "Mrs. Norcrosa has always been delicate, aud all her children even her son take after her. I've maintained a private and very expensive hospital for nearly thirty years." This regretful note lu his futher's voice gave Wayland confidence. His spirits rose. "Come, let's adjourn to the parlor and talk things over at our case." They all followed him, and after showing the mother and daughter to their seats near a window, be drew but father Into a comer, and In rapid un dertoue related tbe story of his first meeting with Berrle, of bis trouble with young lielden, of bis camping trip, minutely describing the encounter ou the mountnlUBldo aud ended by.say lug, with manly directness: "I would ho up there lu tho mountains in a box If Berrlo bud not Intervened. She's a noble girl, father, and Is foolish enough to like me, and I'm going to marry ber and try to tuiike her happy." The old lumberman, who had listen ed Intently all through this Impassion ed story, displayed 110 sign of surprise at Its closing declaration, but his eyes explored his sou's soul with calm ab straction. "Send her over to me," he said nt last "Miirrlngo Is a serious mutter. I want to tulk with her- nlone." Wayland went bnek to the women with nn air of victory. "He wants to see you, .Berrle. He's mellowing. Don't be afraid of blm." She might have resented the father's lack of gallantry, but she did not On the coutrury, she rose and walked ros- olutely 'over to where he aat quite ready to defend herself. He did not rlae to meet her, but she did not count (bat against htm, fur there was nothing essentially rudo In his manner. He was merely her older and Inert "Sit down," he said, not unkludly "I want to hnre you tell me about my son. He has been tolling me nil about you. Now, let's havo your aide of the story." She took a seat and faced blm wltb yea as steady as his own. "Where shall I beglu?" she blnully challenged. "Ho wants to marry "you. Now,' It seems to me (hat seven weeks la Ve y short acquaintance for a decision like that Are you sure you want blm?" Yes, sir; I am." Hei most decided. His voice was'sjllgbtly cynical aa he went en.' "But yon were tolerably aura about that other fellow that rancherwlth the fancy name weren't your' . She flushed at this, but waited for blm'to go on. "Don't you think It possible, that your fancy for. Wayland Is also temporary?" No, slrr ah bravely declared. "I never felt toward any one the way I do toward Wayland. He's different 1 ' shall never change toward blm." 1 Her tque, ber expression of eyes stop- ped this- line of Inquiry. He took up anotheri, "Now, my dear young lady, I ana business man as well as a fa ther, and the marriage of my sort is a weighty; matter. He Is my main de pendence. I am hoping to have him take up and carry on my business. To be quite candid, I didn't expect htm to select his wife from a Colorado ranch. I considered blm out of the danger zone. I have always under stood that women were scarce In the mountains.' Now don't misunderstand me. I'm not one of those fools who are always trying to marry their sons and daughters Into the ranks 6f tbe Idle rich. I don't care a bang about social position, and I've got money enough for my son and my son's wife. But he's all the boy I have, and I don t want blm to make a mistake." y Neither do I," she answered simply, ber eyes' suffused with tears. "If I thought be would be sorry" He Interrupted again. "Ob, you can t teirthat now! Any marriage Is a risk. I don't say he's making a mistake In selecting you. You may be Just the woman he needs. Only I want to be consulted. I want to know more about you. He tells me you have taken an active part In tbe management of tbe ranch and the forest. Is that-true?" "I've always worked with my fa theryes, sir." -.'... "You like that kind of life?" "I don't know much about any other kind. Yes, I like It But I've had enough, of It I'm willing to change." "Well, how about city life-housekeeping and all that?" "So long as I am with Wayland I shan't mind what I do or where I live."; "-.! . "At tbe same time you figure he's going to have a large Income, I sup pose? . He's told you of his rich father, hasn't he?" . " ; : Berrle's. tone Was a shade resentful of his Insinuations "He has never said much about bis family one way or an other. He only said you wanted Mm to go. Into business in Chicago- and that he wanted to do something else. Of course I could see by his ways and the clothes be wore that he'd been brought up In what we'd call luxury, but we never Inquired Into bis affairs." "And you dldu't.eare?" . "Well, not that exactly. But money don't count for as. much with ua In the valley as It does In tbe east Way land seemed so kind of sick and lone some, and I felt sorry for him the first time I saw him. 1 felt like mothering blm. And then his. way of taialng, of looking at things, was so new and beautiful to me I couldn't help caring for him. I had never met any one like him, I thought he was a 'lunger' " "A what?" ' "A consumptive. That Is, I did at first. And It bothered me. . It seemed terrible that; any one so fine should be condemned .like that, and so I did all I could to help- him, to make him happy. I thought be hadn't long to live. Everything be said and did was wonderful to me, like poetry and mu sic. And then wben be began to grow stronger aud I saw that be was going to get well, and Cliff -went on the rampage and showed the yellow streak aud I gave him back bis ring I didn't know even then how much Wayland meant to me. But on our trip over the range I understood. He meant every thing to me. Ho made Cliff seem like A savage, and I wanted hlin to know It I'm not ashamed of loving him. I want to make him bappy, and If he wishes me to be bis wife I'll go any where he says-only, I think ho should stay out here till he gets entirely well." The old man's eyes softened during her plea, and at Its close a slight smile moved the corners of bis mouth. "You've thought It all out, 1 see. Your mind Is clear and your conscience easy. Well, I like your Bplrlt I guess he's right The decision Is up to you. But IX he takes you and stays In Colorado ho can't expect mo to share tho profits of my business with blm, can he? He'll havo to make his own way." He rose and held out his hand. "However, I'm persuaded he's In good hnnds." She took his bund, not knowing Just what to reply. Ho examined her fin gers with Intent gaze, "I dldu't kuow any woman could have such a grip.". He thoughtfully took ber biceps lu his left band. "You are magnificent" Then In ironical pro test ho added: "Good Qod, no! I can't have you come Into my family. You'd make caricatures of my wife aud daughters. Are all the girls out In tbe valley like you?" . She, laughed. "No. .Most of them pride themselves on not being horse women. Mighty few of 'em ever ride a burso. I'm a kind of a tomboy to them." "I'm sorry to hear that It's the same old story. I supposo they'd all like to live In the city and wear low necked gowns and high heeled shoes. No, I can't consent no your., marriage wltb my son. I must save you from corrup tion.. Qo back to tbe ranch. I can see already signs of your deterioration. Kxcept for your color and that grip you look like upper Broadway. She flushed redly, conscious of ber new corset, her silk stockings and her pinching 'shoes. , "It's all on the out sldo," alio declared." "Under this tog gory I'm the same old trailer. It don't tnko long to get rid ot these things. I'm Just playing' a part today--for you." He smiled and dropped her hand. "No, no. You've said good by to tbe cinch. I can see that You're on tbe road to op era boxes and limousines. What la your plan? What would you' advise Wayland to do If you knew I was hard against bla marrying you? Comenow, I can see you're a clear sighted Indi vidual. What can be do to earn a liv ing? How will you live without my aid? Have you figured on these things?" "Yes. I'm going to ask my father to buy a ranch near here, where' mother can have more of the comforts of life, and where we can all live together till Wayland Is able to stand city life again. Then, If you want him te go, east, I will go with him." They bad moved slowly back toward tbe others, and as Wayland came to meet them Norcross said, with dry hu mor: "I admire your lady of the cinch hand. She seems to be a person of singular good nature and most uncom mon shrewd'' Wayland, interrupting, caught at his father's hand and wrung It frensledly. "I'm glad"- - "Here! Here!" A look of pain cov ered the father's face. "That's the fist she put In tho press." - They all laughed, and then be grave ly resumed: "I say I admire ber, but It's a sbamerto auk such a girl to marry an Invalid like you. Furthermore, I won't have ber taken cast She'd bleach out and lose that grip In a year. I won't have her contaminated by the city." He mused deeply while locking at his son. "Would life on a wheat ranch, accessible to this hotel by mo torcar, be endurable to you?" "You mean with Berea?" "If she'll go. Mind you, I don't ad vise her to do It," be added, interrupt ing bis son's outcry. "I think she's taking all tbe chances." He turned to Mrs. McFarlane. "I'm old fashioned In my notions of marriage, Mrs. Mc Farlane. I grew up when women were helpmates, such as, I Judge, you've been. Of course It's all guess work to me at the moment, but I have an Impression that my son has fallen Into an unusual run of luck. As I un derstand it you're all out for a pleas ure trip. Now, my private car Is over In tbe yards, and I suggest you all come along with me to California" "Governor, you're a wonder!" ex claimed Wayland. ". ' '" "" "That'll give us time to get better acquainted, and If we all like one an other Just as well when we. get back well, we'll buy the best farm In the North IMatte, and"- "It's a cinch we get that ranch!" In terrupted Wayland, with a triumphant glance at Berea. ' "Don't be so sure of it," replied the lumberman. "A private car, like a yncbt Is a terrible test of friendship." But bis warning held no terrors for tbe young lovers. They bad entered upon certainties. the cno.

Modern Methods In Auto Building la this a of automobile manufac ture, it should be realized that some of the best brains in the world are work ing on this most important industry, as the automobile has become a goneral necessity lor tbe American family rata- er than merely a sporting apparatus as it seemed to be vmcn xirst it nppuareu on our street:). With tho general use of automobiles throughout the country has come the necessity - for building them better, making-them more .substantial, more simple, more inexpensive in op eration and more practical for genoral family use. Among the various accomplishments of the automobile world, in excellence of con9truction, the Detroit Electric car manufactured by the Anderson Electric Gar company, stands out prominently. It has been found by actual comparison that in construction,, the Detroit Eloc trie car is designed and manufactured as perfectly as it is possible to build a mechanical article, ' In the production of this car, man ufactured completely by the Anderson Electric Car compr.ny of Detroit, mod ern machinery of tho . most approved and automatic typo is employed to make even the smallest pr-.rts or the car, there by insuring accuracy, iaterchangeabil ity of parts--and large Baving in labor costs.- In many .places, where in the past, iron castings have-been used, drop forgings now replace thorn.-These forg ingsr are made by ponderous machines weichinc inanv ton.i and driven bv now. er plants ranging up to the hundreds of horse power. The chassis iramos or this car are made of pressed steel and are drilled for their various ude. members by plac ing a complete, fr&mo in an inimenoo machine which when operated, brings a dozen or more tools into action which accurately bores tho necessary holes. This modern method of manufactur ing insures absolute accuracy and saves much times and money in the produc tion of the finished artiale. In the old days, it was thought that hand work was the onlv method which could pro duce a finished article of the highest grade. This method of manufacture has been entirely relegated to the rear ranks in the automobile Industry. It is the new method fif modern manufacturing which has enabled the American people to enjoy today, automobiles of the highest grado whicn ran be produced, and at prices lower than it was even dreamed of ten years ago. . The realization by The Anderson Electric Car company that only through Installing these modern methods of manufticturing conld thoy produce tho electric cars of tho highest quality at a comparatively low price baa enabled them to markot an electrio car of the very finest quality in material and construction, at prices from 4400 to $500 lower than would be possible if the manufacture of these cars wore at' tempted in ho old way. ft fc )( WAR NEWS OF ONE YEAR AGO TODAY Field Marshal Lord Roberts died at the French front, Bus- sia reported her main army only 13 miles Irora uracow. uer- many claimed minor victories in sk east i russia and .Poland. .
