No one attempted to stop the record-smasting race, though, of course, the legal rate of speed was far exceeded in’ the successful attempt to make the Red Devil's topmost pace @eem like that of a Fifth ayenue coach horse and the redoubtable White Ghost to loiter Ike the wraith of a London "bus.

Mr, Still- wagon has an automobile store in the Fitter Building, on Central avenue, Far Rockaway. On Wednesday morning Miss Rae ‘Wanser, of Lawrence, dropped (nto the building to see Gustave Fitter, a lite- long friend of her family.

Why, How gpddent “Let's get married!" said the be- itched Mr, Stillwagon. ‘Let's get Gus Bitter to be best man!" answered the bewitching and practical Miss Wanser. So they travelled at full speed back to Far Rockaway and, stopping before @ joweller's shop on Central avenue, Mr. Btillwagon entered it to buy the ring, Then they sought the automobile store and Mr. Fitter, “Rae, you're joking!" exclaimed that gentleman when the nature of thelr er- rand was explained to him. Miss Wanser flashed the newly pur- @hased wedding ring before him. “Is that a joke?" she asked.
