THE LITTLE ago CHEVROLET.
A Wonderful Hill Climber.

We herewith announce to the pu bic
that the little 1870 Chevrolet is one of
the most powerful and all.around best
hill climbers we have ever seen. This
little 400 made Rezek's hill on high and
Krwanek's hill on second in Gibson,
in the afternoon Of Dec. I. We were
on the ground and saw this car make
those hills as stated above. These hills
are said to be the hardest in the state
to climb. 1t has been claimed off and
on that other automobiles have made
these hills but where is the proof? 50
far as we know no car ever made these
hills before. But the little Chevrolet
has done it. We were eyewitnesses to
the wonderful run it made up these
hills. 1t is truly great hill climber.

Carroll drew out the worn waterproof
case, stained with the blue-mold of the
tropics.
"Yes--that is it," Trent said sharply.
"Then you knew he had it with him
after the accident" asked Carroll.
@How should ! not know" answered
Trent simply. 3There he was, helpless
on my hands all those weeks as we came
down the river"
Carrolls lips ached with another ques-
ton, the same that had tormented
Hawkes. last days. How much more had
Trent known in those weeks? But Trent,
with a twisted smile, answered it I'M
spoken:
al am only human, Carroll. suspected
what he might have written of me-and
there it was, right under my hand; So"
He broke off with a gesture, and Carroll
breathed in relief; at least, he would not
have to tell Trent.
"Shall tell you why you have come to
see me?' Trent was saying. IL can do
it. The principal reason is on page POS
Of that diary, beginning with the third
line from the top-the line with blot on
the sixth word. Shall quote it for your"
Then, in hard, utterly unmagnetic
tone that, to Carroll, seemed subtly to
portray the personality of the man who
had written them, he quoted the words
that, back in their minds, had been the
real basis of all their thought and speech:
"The real strength of an expedition lies in
the self-sacrificing devotion of its members
to the central cause, and to the personality
who embodies that cause. No chain is

again the pages of the months-old
copies Of the Megaphone, looking at the
staring headlines, deft Interviewing of
the names of the famous explorer, of
the Megaphone and it's proprietor, Bart
Maynard, until one could hardly tell
which was the real hero of the occasion.
1t had been Bart Maynard who had
financed Hawkes. expedition. There
came another flash of recollection
Hawke, gray-faced, fighting for breath,
and his words, spoken with grim humor:
Maynard won't like my dying. He
hates to have people fail him. He'll want
victim"
AND the only possible victim would be
Trent: there is always something sus-
picious about those who live when others
die.
"Isn't that why you are here?' Trent
demanded
"Yes-yes," said Carroll, collecting
himself. 4But there is more. At the last
Hawke was doubtful. He saw that that
sentence, from him,-and all the more after
his death,-would be CROUCH TOTO"
"To ruin me-, concluded Trent YEARLY
"Do you imagine haven't thought that?
Maynard has no mercy on those who cross
him. Look at what he did to that fellow
who claimed to have discovered that
island near the Pole that Maynard had
sent out an expedition to find. The paper
bounded the poor devil half across the
world, until he committed suicide. Do
you think l don't see all that?"
