The second officer looked over the side doubtully at

Mickey Cover did write to the master of the IRA
waddy that night; but John Emerson off for the
high before the next day, and the message
of cheer that that letter carried failed to reach him
until long afterward STILL he put forth with happiness
in his heart. His record free of any stain, the

1t was a tremendous statement,
tremendous because of its SIM
plicity, its repression, its revelation
of character; but it failed to reach
Grayson, and Mickey Covers
eyes, which picked up the Indies
mans face over his shoulder, saw
this.
Grayson leaned forward, clear
ing his throat, as the accused Cap
tain finished; but he did not put
one of the questions that he had
eagerly been framing all the while
the Scot had been speaking.
"That's all very WE'LL" snarled
Cover at Emerson with savage
ness that electrified the court.
Lockhart sat up with start. The
Vice Consul leaned out of his chair
as though something in the defend
ants statement had escaped him.
Emerson turned toward Cover as
if he had been expecting the attack.
Surprise rode Grayson's ford coun-
tenance; but it gradually changed
to an expression of interested APP
probation at the manner in which
Cover swept on in an examination
of the Irrawaddy's master. With
out pause he carried the accused
through a description of every ele-
ment that surrounded the stranding
of the tramp. His interrogations
were pitiless, savage, ruthless, in
their searching quality; they left no
ground to be covered by the seri-
Gus, satisfied young Vice Consul or
the smiling Grayson. Wrinkles of
pain came and went in John Lock-
hart's brow. He was listening to
a Mickey Cover he had never met
before; he felt a great friendship
slipping out of his heart. He did
not dream nor did any man there w
friend was doing.

With that Cover came out of his S

smashed their careers. Still it gives
freights of hides. precious ores, and
fine woods, ladings of tobacco and
marvellous dyestuffs, and the world
does traffic in these things.
"Shoal!" suddenly thrilled cry

The time is past says an expert,
when either the owner. dealer. or
manufacture placed his confidence in
the A. L. A II. formula for calculating
horsepower. The old rule was based
on cylinder dimensions only. and the
folly of this rule Is more evident
now than ever before when one stops
TO consider that even two motors eX-
acuy the same size. using different
grades Of gasoline could not possibly
develop the same power.
1T is just as nOnseusical to insist
that all motors Of equal piston dis
placement are equally powerful, as 10
maintain that all "A year old men. six
feet tall, and weighing $50 pounds,
can do the same amount of work IN the
same length Of time.
The amount Of power in a motor IS
inversely reciprocal with the heat
evolved. In other words. the energy IN
the gasoline can either be converted

through radiation or shot out Of the
muffler. The more heat, the less
power. The more heat, the more gaso-
line and oil The less heat, more
power and less fuel The more power,
less gear shifting.
There are two things that heat up
a motor-the hot explosive gases them
selves. and the friction Of the piston

motor without any oil you would find
