No predictions as to what height

What is CASTORIA
so far as he is concerned,
as he is more or less supersti
tious, he is willing to part with it for
a song, not even necessarily a song
of the Caruso persuasion.
It is this way. Yesterday Mr. Cleve
land and his associate, Harold
Holmes, found it necessary to get from
Ceaartown to Atlanta by early Mon
day morning, but they did not discov
er the necessity until after the last
train had left Cedartown for the day.
In looking around for an automobile
Mr. Cleveland ran across one so at
tractive looking that he bought it,
right ofT the reel, and started motor
ing to Atlanta.
They used two good hours getting
to Roekmart, for one of the machine's
lungs got wheezy pretty soon, and on
the way from Roekmart to Carters-
ville the lights went on the blink for
the evening. Between Cartersvllle
and Marietta something on the
thing's Insides slipped Its trolley, and
between Marietta and Atlanta the
rear axle broke down.

Fourteen miles from Atlanta, at
11:17 p. m., Mr. Cleveland phoned to
Atlanta to A. L. Belle Isle, and asked
that a machine be sent out to get him
and his crippled machine into the
city. Belle Isle said. "Sure, Mike,"
and started for the spot where the
Cedartown automobile was snugly
