Of all three in concrete form that
beheld advancing upon me.
A huge. Shiny amphibian 1t was.
with toadlike body and the mighty
jaws of the alligator. Its immense
carcass must have weighed tons. and
yet II moved swiftly and silently to-
ward me.
Upon one hand was the BLUM that
ran from the canyon to the sea, on
the other the fearsome swamp from
which the creature had sneaked upon
me. behind lay the mighty untracked
sea, and before me In the centre Of
the narrow way that led to safety
stood this huge mountain Of terrible
and menacing flesh.
A single glance at the thing was
sufficient to assure me that I was
facing one OF those long-extinct, pre-
historic creatures whose fossilized re-
mains are found within the outer
crust as far back as the Triassic for
nation. a gigantic labyrinthodon.
And there / was. unarmed. and.
with the exception OF n loin cloth, as
naked as I had come into the world.
! could imagine how my first ances-
tor felt that distant. prehistoric morn
that he encountered for the first time
the terrifying progenitor OF the thing
that had me cornered now beside the
restless. mysterious sea.
There seemed nothing TO do but
stand supinely and await my end
The labyrinthodon was coming more
slowly now. He seemed to realize that
escape for me was impossible. and
could have sworn that his huge
ranged Jaws grinned in pleasurable
appreciation of my predcament, or
was 1t In anticipation OF the juicy
morsel which would so soon be pulp
between those formidable teeth?
He was about fifty feet from me
when ] heard a voice calling to me
from the direction OF the blum at my
left.
! looked and could have shouted In
delight at the sight that met my eyes
There. waving frantically to me
stood ia. urging me TO run for II tc

he was quite likely to lose all his

dous tug that came near to jerking
ia from his frail hold on the surface
OF the rock, the spear slipped from his
fingers. and. still clinging to 1t,
plunged feet foremost toward my
ravenous executioner.
At the instant that he felt the spear
come away from JAS hand the crea
ture must have opened his huge jaws
to catch me, for when l came down
still clinging to the butt-end OF the
weapon, the point yet rested In MS

the length OF his face and head

derived some slight peace of mind
from the contemplation of it.
To run seemed ridiculous, especially
toward that steep and unscalable
cliff. and yet I did so. and as ! ran
saw ia, agile as a monkey, crawl
down the precipitous face OF the
rocks, clinging to small projections,
and the tough crecpers that had
found roothold here and there.
The labyrinthodon evidently
thought that ia was coming to dou-
bic his portion of human flesh. 50 he
was in no haste to pursue me to the
cliff and frlghten away this other It'd
bit. Instead, he merely trotted along
behind me.
AS | approached the foot OF the
cliff | saw what ia intended doing,
but doubted II the thing would
prove successful. He had come down
to within twenty feet Of the bottom,
and there, clinging with one hand to

O'NE|LL FINDS TUCSON
AUTO BUSINESS LIVELY
Sells Two Maxwels There; Billy
Carlson freaks Loose Again

Maurice O'Neill delivered a Max
well touring car in Tucson on Friday.
That makes two Maxwells sent down
to the Old Pueblo this week. O'Neill
reports a nice run down, with the
exception of one bad mudhole be-
tween Chandler and Higley that will
receive some fixing soon as it had
made a lot of trouble for several
autoists. O'Neill says that the Tucson
auto fans have taken very kindly to
the Chalmers which Jack Ainsworth
and Tom Trent are demonstrating
there this week. Tom and Jack are
covering all of Southern Arizona and
placing agencies in the larger cities.
O'Neill says that conditions are good
in Tucson and that automobile sales
are lively.
Right now, the latest excitement at
the O'Neill Garage is due to the rec
ord breaking climb up Mt. Wilson
made by Billy Carlson in his Max
well "25" last Tuesday. This is the
same model that is being sold here
by the O'Neill folks, and the car used
by Carlson is the identical one that
made such a fine showing in the Los
Angeles Phoenix race and on the
track here at Fair time. Speaking
of the performance the Pasadena
News says
Nearly fifteen minutes was clipped
from the automobile record the
Mount Wilson toll road Tuesday when
Billy Carlson at the wheel of the
Maxwell he drove in the recent Los
Angeles Phoenix race, made the nine
and one-half miles from the toll
house in Eaton's canyon to the Mount
| Wilson hotel in twenty mine minutes
and one second. The former record
was forty-three minutes.
| A few minutes before Carlson start
ed on his wild dash up the trail, Ned
Lord piloted the Maxwell press car
| up the trail in thirty seven minutes.
breaking the best previous mark by
six minutes. The old record was held
| by the Stutz and was made last year.
Carlson made his record breaking
dash up the trail alone The upper
part of the road was heavy with snow
and slush and he expressed desire
to have as light a load as possible in
his drive against time"
