Owner Re-Christens New Studebaker Car

Humans have ever yielded to the almost universal practice of giving dumb animals, or inanimate oojecia that especially please them, names that betoken affection. From the wee tot In rompers who mothers petita little dolls, or goes about its glorious playtime with a mischievous but faith* lu] dog, to the grizzled veteran of the throttle, it seems to be -pecfectly natural for them to call

WATCH FOR LEAJCS,

In summer when the heat -eattsrs rapid evaporation of gasoline tiny leaks In the fnel line often escape discovery. In some cases this will be enough to account for a sudden cutting down of the mileage per gallon. So In cases where the relative mileage shows a sudden drop it is well to inspect the fuel line for small leaks.

dally association by their "first" names. And, because it Is only natural for the horny-handed engineer to speak ot i his steel monster as if it were a pereon that really lived and breathed, it is pei haps not strange that motorists, who are enthused with the remarkable

performance of the car they drive,' should fall Into this same habit. The names given automobiles by their sponsors at the factories are neither feminine nor masculine gender •—they are merely expressive of the car's particular attributes, or are given the various models merely as distinguishing marks. The Light-Six Is the official narnt? given one of the new series 19 Studebaker cars, as being Indicative of that car's unusually light weight for a six-cylinder model. This name, however, has suffered a revamping, as far as W. Wendel Forrest, a prominent Philadelphia motorist, is personally concerned. After driving hie Studebaker Ldi^ht Six two thousand miles he writes Studebaker factory officials that he feels the name "Little L»ady Six" Is much more appropriate for this car—and gives hla reasons for thinking so. "I have owned and driven three cars in the last four and one-half years," writes Mr. Forrest, "and this Is the first time that I hare ever really fait inclined to become personal with my motor oar. But after driving mv new series 19 Studebaker Light-Six" two thousand miles, I take pleasure In admitting It to my family circle as the "Little L-ady Six." The beautiful pearanee of this new car. its many flnemerits, and Its smoothness of o]nr-

•lion prompt the new name. My first thousand miles in this new Studebaker were covered In the heart of Philadelphia traffic, where conditions tell on an automobile more than any other place on earth. This dlstance Was made with positively no engine trouble whatever and with the I greatest and smoothest riding at all times. The control, the shifting of! gears was so simple and easy that, there was absolutely no strain whatever. And this Is the first car that I have ever owned that my wife could- drive. "The second thousand miles were covered between Philadelphia and Pottsvllle, Pa., taking some of the longest and steepest hills we hare to travel In this state. And I do not believe there Is another automobil# built that will take and climb a hill any smoother or Letter than this new Studebaker. "After driving #ver 1.500 miles I visited the Studebaker service station for a thorough Inspection. I was indeed surprised to note what very little actually had to be done to tlie car. The brakes were adjusted. two or three fender bolts lightened—nothing mors, "I have figured eat my gasoline consumption very carefully and find that I Am getting bettor than fifteen miles per gallon. I have not kept an accurate record of my nil consumption, nut I nave every reason bo believe It Is much lower than any of q»y previous three ears."

The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow

"And do you know, sir, that he did actually carry this cowardly resolution through. There came a night—I think it was Tuesday—when the order came, and they took the road to Belport. Not a word did his employer utter the whole way. Solemn and still he sat, and when they arrived he descended without a word, rang the bell and entered the house. It was very warm, that night. Holmes saJd, and before long he heard the glass doors open onto the balcony, and knew that his wished-for chance had come. Leaving the limousine, he crept around to secure a place among the bushes, and what he heard while there seemed to compensate him for what he called his loss of dignity. The young girl was crying, and the man was talking to her kindly enough but In a way to end whatever hopes she may have had. "Holmes heard him say* 3t can

Then he offered her money —an annuity, I believe they call it— but she cried out at that, saying it was love she wanted, to be petted and cared for—money she could do without. When he showed himself again in front, he was stiffer and more solemn than ever, and said 'Home,' in a dreary way which made the chauffeur feel decidedly uncomfortable. "Of course Holmes is quite blind to what this all means, but you may possibly see some connection between this sudden act of sacrifice on X's part and the work of the arrow. At all events, I thought you ought to know that Mr. X's closet holds a skeleton which he, will doubtless take every pains to keep securely locked from general view.

A Shaded walk with a gtKlTpWB ef tea •beyond, embowering trees, a stretch of lawn on one side, and on the other the dormer windows of a line old house half hidden by scaffolding, from which there came now and then the quick strokes of a workman's hammer.

It was half-past four, If the sharp little note of a cuckoo-clock, snapping out one, told the time correctly.

Two men are pacing this leafy retreat, both of whom we have seen before, but under circumstances so distracting that we took little note of their appearance, fine as it undoubtedly was in either case. However, we are more at leisure now, and will pause for an instant to give you some Idea of these two prominent men. with one of whom our story will henceforth have very much to do.

One of tW»m—the curator of oar famous museum—lacks comeliness of figure, thougti at moments he can be very Impressive. We can therefore recognize him at a distance by means of a certain ungainliness of stride sometimes seen in a man wholly given over to intellectual pursuits. But when he turns and you get a glimpse of his face, you experience at once the scope of mind and charm of spirit which make his countenance a marked one in the metropolis. A little gray about the temples, a tendency—growing upon him, alas!—to raise his hand to his ear when called upon to listen, show that he has already passed the meridian of life but in his quick glance, and clear and rapid speech, youth still lingers, making of him a companion delightful to many and admirable to alL

Hints to Motorists

F*or the man who does the work around his own car and yet does not care to have his hands look like a garage mechanic's, the following is valuable: Four ounces of grain alcohol. three ounces of glycerine arid three ounces of water, shaken up in a bottle. If this liquid is applied to the hands before be-ginning work, a good washing with soap and water afterward removes all traces of the labor.

TREAT IT KINDLY.

This Is the time of year when ntriers of new cars need to be reminded that more harm may result to the vehicle in the first 600 miles of running than in all (he rest of its life. After the car has been run a couple of hundred miles the driver should go over It and take up slack in bolts and bearings. Pistons should have excessive lubrication during the early wearinar in period. The universal Joints must be kept fully lubricated during: the early running of the car. A stitch at this time saves not nloa but nineteen.
