“Home Again.”

Home looked better and dearer to us when we reached it than it ever did before.  We had traveled one thousand and forty-five miles and used on the trip one hundred and four gallons of gasoline, thus averaging over all sorts of roads, including several mountain ranges, a little better than ten miles to the gallon.  I defy any six cylinder car in America to beat this record.  I used the same old Franklin car, in which I have made four tours of California.  I have no apology to offer for breaking the driveshaft.  The parts of any car will stand just so much.  Pass this point and trouble ensues.  This grand old car has run over eighty thousand miles and seen much hardship.  I salute it!

The End.
