Coming in a drive one afternoon, I was informed by with a certain agitation, that there was ange gentleman in the library. “He said he had come a long way, and would wait for the master coming home to dinner; and in a perfect fidget all for I remembered after he was in 1 had left your watch on the table.’ ry to inspect this un- a own eyes. a lean, red-herring looking man rose from Carlyle’s t which he was sitting writing, Ss manuscripts and private letters 1 about, and, running his cyes over me om head to foot, said: “Oh, you are Mrs. Carlyle, are you?” An inclination of the head, intended to be ur itself, was all the answer he got. “Do you keep your health pretty well, Mrs. Carlyle?” said the wretch, nothing daunted, that being s your regular Yankee’s second word. Another inclination of the head even slighter than the first. “LT have come a great way out of my road,’” ssid he, “to congratulate Mr. Carlyle on his increasing reputation; and, as [ did not wish to have my walk for nothing, | am writing till he comes in. But in case he should not come in time for me, Iam just writing him a letter here, at his own table, as you see, Mrs. Carlyle.” writing-table, The first Derby made in America was a HATS FOR MEN KNAPP-FELT hats are made in a variety of smart shapes.

ROADWAY, AT THIRTEENTH STREET,NEW YORK We Make Sixes Exclusively There are many sixes on the market. And every one of them but ours (so far as we know) is made by a manufacturer who also makes fours. Some of these makers just add two cylinders to a four and call it a six. Most of them don’t care whether you buy a four or a six, because they expect to get you “coming or going.” And if you seem to prefer a four, the chance is that they will not tell you what a mistake you are making. We do not ask you to purchase a WINTON SIX because we make sixes exclusively. Instead we are making sixes exclusively because sixes are superior to all other types. And we can prove it to you just as we have done to hundreds of others, ‘The Winton Six isn’t a four with two added cylin. ders. It is a six from the drafting room to the ship- ping department, from the radiator to the tail lamp. And because it is a real six (not a makeshift) the Winton Six proves in its work all the points of su- periority we claim for it. On the contrary it is not surprising that any s0- called sixe (being really fours with two added cylir. ders) should prove disappointing. Six cylinder cars are the world’s best. Fours plus two cylinders are not. Therefore if you really seek the greatest enjoyment that motoring affords, you will THE WINTON MOTOR CARRIAGE CO Member Association Licensed Auto Mirs. BEREA ROAD, CLEVELAND, OHIO be as careful to select a bona fide six as you will be to avoid a four. ‘The Winton Six starts without cranking. Runs as sweetly and as quietly as a watch. Makes hill climbing simple and easy. Minimizes gear shifting, eliminates motor vibration, and goes the route like coasting down hill. ‘This car holds the world’s upkeep record of 4343 miles on One Dollar expense. We send the swom records upon request. ‘Two Models—$3000 and $4500, We shall be pleased to send descriptive literature which fully presents the advantages enjoyed by the Winton Six owner.

But about half an after after came Darwin and Mr. Wedgwood; and, as there was no fire in the room below, they had to be shown up to the library, where, on my return, I found the Yankee still seated in Carlyle’s chair, very actively doing as it were the honors of the house to them; and there he sat-upwards of an hour, not one of us addressing a word to him, but he not the less thrusting his word into all that we said. Finding that I would make abso- lutely no answer to his remarks, he poured in upon me a broadside of positive questions. (Continued on page 278) comicbooks.com
