can give such valuable service. You
take the roads Just as they come.
UNLIMITED SPEEDS - A o t h e r
splendid feature Of this transmission is
the unlimited speeds-all control lied
easily and silently with a single lever.
There IS nothing to confuse the most
inexperienced driver.
GREATER TIRE MlLEAGE-Many
Cartercar owners say that they get
about twice the usual mileage from
their tires. This IS because there are
no Jerks nor Jars. You can easily see
that this must also mean the utmo ST
comfort.

4 BAPTISM OF FIRE

me-Shots and cries OF chase In bar
barous Chinese-and the world swan
in front. Terror undiluted made me
running automaton.
Beyond doubt the most cowardly
Frenchman in the East that moment
was myself. I did not attempt 10
controvert this fact; I ran on, crfng-
Ing from every bullet that rustlod
past me or spurted up the ground be-
side my leaping feet; but I found
excuses for my conduct. For good
behavior they had raised me from
the ranks to a non commissioned
officer. to lead and be an example to
the rest OF the rank and file when
n pinch came. and here 1 was lead
ing the wrong way and setting the
worst OF all examples.
How long I ran on In this blinded
state cannot tell. but sharp sting
of pain set my wits a-going. 1t felt
like the scar of hot metal burning
and frying. and the hurt came some
where from the round OF tho left
shoulder.
