Halsey made no answer. He waa
pale as a dead man. A few moments
later they were hurrying down the

OF gaunt enginery They stood before

What makes her go?" demanded
Jim Sullivan, Fer what IL the hole

Shaking his head dubiously. the big
foreman lent = hand, and between

the receiver. This time the motor did
not resume its purring. the shaft did
not revolve.
She's bruk!" said Jim. Halsey only
pointed to the blue tips Of toothed
ridge. NO." said he, she's only do

power is going into the autos motor
instead of this. Two forms. you see
