her in the picture. Frank completed
his labors by painting her name on the
sides and mailing small American flag
at the prov.
The Zip was ready at last. 1t was
afternoon when they pulled her into
the yard. where Frank assigned Joe to
act as steersman, which operation was
accomplished the same as before the
Zip became an auto sled. the forward
runners being movable and pivoted on
the rod that pierced the seat and termi-
mated in the steering wheel.
Frank now mounted the rear AS
the spark plug had already been in
serted. he proceeded to start the motor
and the engine began to hum; then
Frank let out the speed lever, the chain
wound wheels bit into the snowy
driveway, and the Zip shot into the
street. while the army (Which had been
hastily summoned cheered enthusias-
tically.
From the street they could get a dis
tant view of Tomahawk hill. They
were careful not to expose themselves
to the possible gaze OF the enemy, who
they found had been also busy-mak-
ing at least a dozen giant snowballs
which stood In a row on the hill crest
Say, suppose we are able to climb
the hill, and they begin rolling 'em
down on us-one of em would knock
the ZIP all TO SlnllnereenS!' exclaimed
Joe. obviously.
"Well provide for that-head her
back and We'll make final preparations
for the grand attack" answered Frank
and In q few moments they had ar
ranged for the majority to form
skirmish line to clear the way for the
grand attack, while he ran the Zip
under cover of a clump of bushes near
by. The sklrmish line succeeded after
some hot lighting, and then Frank COM
manded five of his huskiest fighters
including Joe, to scramble aboard, while
he congratulated the bruised heroes Of
. the skirmish line. They had not only
beaten the enemy at the foot of the
slope, but had decoyed Ben into rolling
down all the giant snowballs This
great danger removed, Frank issued
hnal instructions to Ted Warner who
was in command of those left on foot
and then turned TO the crew of the
Zip
Boys. we must reach the top, and
we must hold out when we get there
until the rest can climb up and come
to our support! Are you ready-then
off we go.' and the Zip, manned by her
intrepid crew dashed from the bushes
There was a long smooth stretch across
the open field to traverse before she
began the ascent, This gave her a fine
start for she shot down the clear space
going at 40 miles an hour.

and had been removed to run turning
lathe.
He continued to look intently at the
motor as he kept on studying. until
suddenly his face lighted up a min
ute more and he was all action. A
careful examination of the damaged
machine seemed to be most satisfac
tory for he rushed upstairs and
brought Joe back. and then excitedly
began to explain something to him,
pointing first to the motor and then
to the bobsled.
Joe regarded Frank as If he thought
he were crazy.
Haven't you heard of auto sleds be-
fore? Let's get hold of Dubloc and I'll
prove all my statements argued
Frank warmly.
Dubloc was the chauffeur. Frank
laid his arguments before him and Du-
bloc nodded approvingly. His approval
quickly won Joe over to Franks great
scheme But most of the day had
passed now, so Frank and Joe dis
missed their army, with mysterious
hints about the new campaign to be
carried out later.
The first thing done with Dubloc's
aid the next morning was to unbolt
the motor from it's place on the work
bench. Finally its 75 pounds were free
to be lifted. and Frank, Joe and Dub
loc were able to shift the 16 horse
power motor and it's gasoline tank at
the same time. so no precious moments
were lost in disconnecting. The motor
and tank were firmly secured to the
long board seat of the Zip right over
the rear sled The next task was to
remove the rear axle with it's wheels
from the auto blackboard, They were
finally placed in position, as shown in
the picture. After that it was an easy
matter to adjust the chain on the
sprocket wheel and connect it with the
motor.
But how are you going to keep from
sllpping@ Joe now asked
That's whore the tractive force
plays it's part" answered Frank "See
these lengths of chain. / am going to
initiate the tires then wind the chains
around each wheel"
AS the engine was in good condi-
ton, Frank inserted the spark plug and
"cranked" the motor, the same as any
chauffeur would, to start the engine.
Then he threw on the speed lever and
spun the wheels (jacked up off the
iioor) at a great rate
We've got to box in the motor. Saw
these lengths and Frank measured
off certain boards from the pile of
lumber by the carpenters bench. The
boards We're sawed to the required
sizes and nailed into place, and the Zip

Going to Sleep

The father of a lad, who was about 7
years old, was a physician and when
the child complained OF his difficulty
in getting to sleep was ready with ad-
vice. 'Ill tell you something that will
soon put you TO sleep" the parent said.
You begin and count slowly up to 100.
and then another hundred, and so on,
and before you know II youll be sleep
ing. Try 1t tonight when you go to
bed Everything remained quiet un-
til the father went to retire. AS he
passed the boys bed little voice
pped, "DadW Eyes, my boy?" What
comes after trillions?
The San Francisco call., 1910-02-12

The yell of astonishment that greeted
her appearance from the besieged had
hardly died away before she started
the ascent.
She raced quarter way up with hard
ly a sign of decreased speed. But the
drumming of the motor grew louder
and more strained as she reached half
way Still, she must have been going
at a great clip, for the three-quarters
distance was made at rate faster
than a man could run-but the last
quarter!
Slower and slower the chained
wheels turned over the snowy crest yet
steadily they forced her up with
scarcely a slip as they gripped the icy
slope. And now the Zip came within
range of the sharpshooters, who un-
nercifully peppered the onrushing foe.
Would she do it? Up, up into hail
of snowballs the besiegers sped. They
had naught but their snow shields,
which they crouched behind for what
protection they gave. Finally only so
feet separated them from the crest.
Could they make it? The putting mo-
tor was just able to complete the
climb where it hurled the Zip over the
crest directly at the base of the fort,
into the massed ranks of the besieged.
who had come out to repel the enemy,
though they had not dared to run
down to meet the oncomers on account
of the slippery hillside The top was
gained al last.
Then came the fiercest fighting of the
whole campaign. Franks confidence in
his followers was not misplaced, but
more than once they were all forced
down the hill by Ben's force, who out
numbered them two to one. Yet every
precious moment gained brought
Franks reinforcement creeping nearer
to the top.
Ben was no coward, and he and
Frank finally grappled with each other
just at the critical moment They
were equally matched, but Frank was
lucky enough to down his enemy, and
Ben's fall threw his ranks into great
confusion, and all the while Franks
second army corps" climbed higher.
The momentary panic gained time
enough for them to reach the top,
where they literally moved down the
tired and disconnected enemy, who had
been too busily engaged in fighting
off the Zip's crew to notice their APP
proach They pulled Frank off Ben,
who rose to find himself a prisoner
with all his army,
But what happened next was most
humiliating of all. over a dozen sIeds
were captured among the spoils of
war. When Frank learned OF this an
idea struck him. He turned to Ben:
I'VE can't make you fellows walk
the plank but we can make you ride
the sledr" and then each prisoner was
forced to ride ANONYMOUSLY down hill
on the very sled he mad brought up
Frank reserved Ben for the last
Frank had a little ceremony he want
ed to perform, especially for his cap
tive's benefit. Still kicking and fight
ing, Ben was forced to watch Frank
remove the little flag upon the PROV
of the Zip and stick it on the crest
OF Fort Tomahawk
Then Frank said:
Il brought this flag % miles 10
plant II on Tomahawk hill, and when
you want 10 declare war again lust
remember that. Now, boys. give Ben
his little ride"

FRANK WILLIAMS and his cousin.
Joe Fisher, We're in quandary,
Frank had come to visit Joe at his
house in one of the big western
cities just at the moment when Ben
Jordan, the leader Of the crowd of
rather tough boys who were at swords
points with Joes crowd, had succeeded
in capturing Tomahawk hill, which was
the great winter battle ground of the
boys of the city A snow fort was al
ways erected and fought for under
regularly drawn up rules OF war, but
the victory of Ben's crowd had been
won by the violation of all these rules
his snowballs were not only solid ice
but had stones frozen in them, too and
because of this the boys We're partic-
ularly anxious to win the hill back
from him.
Although Frank was only a visitor
he was well known among his cousins
friends for his clever ideas, and the
boys had insisted that on this serious
occasion he should take the leadership.
Frank had ordered his army to make
snow shields of barrel heads, with a
strap or cord to fasten to the wearer's
arm. These did great service as they
protected the fighters to a great extent
from the frozen snowballs, and as the
enemy was not provided with ice
shields they were soon vanquished by
the well directed "iceball' fire of his
forces, leaving the way clear to storm
Fort Tomahawk.
The attacking party soon found out
how hard a task they had before them
1t was difficult enough to climb up the
slippery slope, and then when they
Of
sharpshooters it was well nigh impos-
sible to advance up the hill even
though they We're each provided with
the snow shields.
Once the attackers got almost to the
top when Ben rolled three or four
giant snowballs down on them. They
were tumbled over like so many tent
pins, sliding bruised and shaken clear
to the bottom of the hill, while the
enemy numerically jeered them.
After Frank picked himself up and
reviewed his battered forces he decided
they had had enough. A retreat was
ordered TO headquarters, i'm Joe's stable
loft, and a grand powwow was COM
menced. Everybody had plan to slg-
gest, but not one was practical
The noise and arguments got so loud
that Frank couldn't think straight ana
he went downstairs, telling them to
leave him alone for a while and he
might be able to evolve some scheme
Frank entered the main room which
was used as garage, where he set

moment as he thought gloomiIy:
''foo bad you can't coast up hin as

found himself looking at another OBJ
