INDIANAPOLIS-CHICAGO LINE

Of Tnlcki in Operation Soon BetH(*n Those Two Cities.

R. W. Anderson of Indianapolis, vice-president and general manager of the International Transportation company, was In the city yesterday making final arrangement of the details for operating a motor truck line between Lafayette and Indianapolis, and the first trip of the motor trucks- will be made today. Within two weeks the line will be extended and daily trips will be made between Indianapolis and Chicago, by the way of Lafayette. Floyd J. Williams of Martinsville was with Mr. Anderson and assisted him in putting the line into operation. The company will operate 17 truck, five two-ton trucks and 12 five-ton trucks. The two-ton trucks will be used for the local hauling. The two-ton trucks will have attached 3i£-ton trailers, with the same sized bodies, and the five-ton trucks will have attached trailers, with the same sized bodies. The bodies of the trucks are of allsteel, fireproof construction, box car design, of the latest model. The smaller trucks have 42x9-inch pneumatic tires, and the larger types have 48x12-inch pneumatic tires. The first truck will leave here at 10:30 o’clock this morning, and will reach Indianapolis at 4 o’clock this afternoon. At the same time a truck will leave Indianapolis and will reach here at 4 o’clock this afternoon. The officers of the company have been looking the situation over for a station from which the trucks will leave and arrive, and will probably decide totlay as to the one that is best adapted to the needs of the business. When the line is completed to Chicago, the big trucks will make through trips daily. The small trucks, which are. to be used for local freight, will stop at all towns and cities on the route, and at crossings and farm houses to take on whatever produce merchants and farmers have to sell, and to leave goods with them. The through trucks will stop only at Indianapolis, Lafayette and Chicago. It is the purpose of the company to furnish to the people of the towns and surrounding country along the lines express service at freight rates. With a through truck every day, it will be possible to make as quick deliveries from Indianapolis to Chicago as can be made by the express companies, and the rates will be the same as those now charged by the railroads for handling freight. This is of vast importance to both the producer and consumer, as all perishable goods; such as fruit, vegetables, butter, eggs, poultry and meats can be sent from place to place along the line in the least time, and at a rate far better than can now be obtained from the transportation companies.

When Lands Do Not Matter

By S. B. HACKLEY

(Copyright. t»l». by tb« McClur* N«w»papcr Syadtcat*.) He had been on the road with the six fine saddlers he would not trust to anybody else’s care, several hot, fatiguing duys, and his long form slid wearily Into the restaurant chair, x “A bite and a sup for you, Gilbert Shore—then bed —the glories of Frisco can wait,” he thought. Just across from him dined a man of fifty with a neA and a girth the like of which young Shore never remembered seeing outside the stockyards. The slim young waitress who served him brought iced water and hot soup, cold milk and hot coffee, and It seemed to the Kentuckian every known meat, salad, vegetable, but censure only rewarded ner efforts. “What have you for dessert?" the eater finally demanded. '•Lemon pie, snow pudding, raspberries, and strawberry ice cream." “I’ll take ’em!” he growled, “and bring ’em quick!" Watching this Interesting specimen devour, the young man did not notice that the girl was standing at hie own elbow. “Your order, please,” she was saying. Her cheeks were flushed with her encounter with the fat brute, her soft voice was not quite steady and there was a mist in her eyes—eyes deep and dark blue like the ocean when the summer sun is over IL A wave of protecting tenderness swept over Shore; he made much ado to keep from pushing away his simple order and feasting his eyes on her winsome face, but he was a diffident young man, and a gentleman, so he. pretended to eat, and used his eyes only by stealth. And the girl? Long ago Allsie Randolph had learned thAt silent unresponsiveness to all social advances of the young masculine customer was a girl’s safeguard from insult, but she looked at the young man with his fine eyes, his clear, healthy skin and his charming manner and almost wished that he would ask her to go out with him. But he did not. However, on his third day in San Francisco the aristocratic old lady with whom he lived on the great Blue

"I’ll Take ’Em," He Growled.

Grass stock farm received a telegram: "Will be detained longer than I expected. Start back Tuesday.” “Oh, Grandmother Girl, if you knew why I am staying,” he thought whimsically, “you’d say I’d been sleeping in the moonlight of my lost senses I” On the evening he ate his twentieth meal at the Bay View restaurant, the man of the thick neck was leaving just as he took his seat at the next table. “That man needs a man to punch his head for bullying a little thing like you,” he remarked. "I’d just like—” * “Oh, sir, please,” she interrupted him half frightened, “he’s a regular customer here I I—l don’t really mind. O ne —one gets used to the unpleasantness here!” Shore’s heart prompted him to say: “Little one, let nie take you away from all this unpleasantness forever!” But he only said somewhat diffidently that if she would let him, he would take her to see a good play somewhere that evening. « Ally's heart leaped, but she faltered: “I do not go out with customers!” Then she fled to the kitchen. When she came back he was gone, and a twisted bit of paper and a single Marechai Niel rose lay beside his plate. “Oh, Little White Apron,” the note said, “I wish I could feel that you trust me, stranger that I am! I like to think there is nothing in my face to frighten a girl. I’m leaving in the morning, but I shall see you again, for Pm coming back to see if you believe in the message of the rose!” It was signed “Gilbert Shore, Bon

Aqua Farina, Treadwell, Ky.” “What la the sentiment of the Marechai Nlel rose, Sissy I” the girl asked her widowed sister that Corona reached for the dictionary. " ‘Adoration,’ or ‘yours, heart and soul.’ ” she quoted. Allele slipped back to her room and held the delicate rose for a long tremulous moment to her lips. “If only I knew he meant it 1” she whispered, tie was so lovable-and so good-looking, but there were so many with ’Vood looks and bad Intentions! “And," she thought bitterly, “he Is rich and I am a beggar!’’ One evening In February she saw him enter the restaurant again. He came straight to her table, his brown eyes eager, glad. / “Oh, Little White Apron,’’ he said softly, “I couldn’t stay away any longer ! Do you believe what the rose told? Do you trust me enough to go out to the theater with me this evening?” Ailsle fought baqk the happiness looking out of her eyes. “I must work until twelve,” she told him, “but you may go and call on my married sister and my Invalid father. But do not stay late. Father must sleep early.” “He will not go,” she told herself bitterly. “He will not go! They never do!” But even as she said it heart whispered that she believed he would. “He is rich and we have nothing,' Corona,” Ailsle remonstrated when Corona told her in delight she had accepted Shore’s invitation for them all to go motoring with him the next day. “We are not the people he belongs with." When two weeks later Shore asked Ailsle to marry him the girl could not keep the glow pf joy out of her face, but she crushed it from her voice. “I cannot,” she told him. “You might remember one day that I was poor and think that your riches tempted me. That would break my heart.” “Oh!” he said easily, “I’m not a millionaire, if that’s what’s worrying you. Don’t punish me because of the little grandfather left me.” ’but she was obdurate. "I cannot marry you,” she repeated. . “Don’t you love me?” he Insisted. But she turned her telltale face away. “I will come back,” he Said then, white and unhappy, “when you have had time to think it over.” “No,” she said, her voice shaking, “do not come. I cannot ever marry you.” In May the city was full of fair visitors. One noon when Ailsle’s whole body ached with weariness, her heart most of all, two Southerners sat at her table. “I heard Gilbert Shore got badly smashed up out fox hunting about two months ago,” the younger man remarked to the older. “How Is he these days, doctor?” “He’s doing no good,” the older man answered, and Ailsle’s heart stood quite still. “When I told him the other day if he didn’t try he'd never get so he could walk or get well, he said: ’I wish, to please you, doctor; I wish I could take more Interest in getting well, bqf what’s the use ?’ Something besides his Injury’s troubling him, Raymond. Tm going to prod him into telling me yhen I get back I” z A few days later a young man sitting in an invalid’s chair on the porch of a fine country home in the Blue Grass, his eyes close®, suddenly felt a pair of strong arms around his neck. “Oh, Gilbert,” a soft voice breathed, “tell me you are not going to die! I came—came —” For a moment he looked at her uncomprehending, then his eyes lighted with triumphant happiness. "And so you came to do good to the dying? Oh, Little White Apron, can’t you do good to the living and stay with him forever?” Then he added in tender whimsicality: “I ought to tell you. Particular One, I’ve still got what grandfather gave me!” She raised her head from his breast. "I’ve thought It over,” she said. “It doesn’t matter!”

CITY OF STONES AND SAINTS

Old Spanish Stronghold of Avila Has Long Been Known by That Peculiar Cognomen. Avila is an ancient Spanish stronghold now known as the city of stones and saints. The stones are prominent enough in the high wall, broken by circular towers, which surrounds the city and in the past kept out undesirable visitors. Some people say, however, that the term stones refers to the stone pigs which decorate the city in unexpected places. No spot is too sacred for these roughly carved pigs, which fact recalls the tradition that when - paganism ruled in Avila these grotesque animals were themselves objects of veneration. But today they provoke only jests in spite of their'attitudes of haughty aloofness. The saint part of the stones and saints epithet is adequately represented by Santa Teresa, the most beloved saint of Spain, who spent most of-her life In Avllg,. Santa Teresa started her career of saintliness seven years of age, when she tried to get herself martyred by the Moors outside the city walls. 3he was deterred from achieving this at the critical moment by her relatives. Later, tradition states, she was transported to heaven and given Instructions on building and running a convent, after which she returned to earth and spent the regt of her life carrying out the celestial orders, and thereby winning the love of the people.
