OWNER STARTING HIS ENGINE
Habit of Flooding Carburetor Does Not
Give Best ResuIts-Aim for CYL
nder Mixture.

How seldom one sees private own
er start his engine with the switch
off, though the professional driver
very often adopts this procedure when
his motor is cold.
The average owner floods his car
buretor, or pulls the choke switches
on, and presses the starter button in
effectually five or six times. Then he
opens the bonnet, perhaps floods the
carburetor again, and at last gets an
explosion.
1t is obvious that the idea Of flood
ing the carburetor is to obtain a tenn
porarily enriched mixture, but the val'
ue of the flooding is lost If 1t be done
when the cylinders and induction pipe
are full Of mixture, any petrol vapor
left in this overnight having long since
evaporated.
If the engine be turned over few
times with the switch off, the air Is ex-
PEELED, and a thin mixture of air and
petrol inhaled in it's place. Flooding
then gives a temporarily rich mixture
in the cylinders and the engine will
start at the first trial.

For ffty years the continent OF, North

you are more than kind" was all
he said.
The days passed more quickly. Many
man would have envied the prison
in which the chevalier was killing
time seemingly In perfect content
ment.
When the month of February was
gone he felt longing for the free air
and his thoughts began to concentrate
upon All attempt to make a strike for
liberty. He examined all the devices
that were arranged to prevent escape
from the prison.

tinuous indoor life is beginning to tell

| A few days later Captain Euler told
the prisoners that they would be al.
lowed to spend the evenings on the
roof of the building.
The countess watched Chevalier di
Icons face very closely when the cap
tain told them this and saw the CLEAN
Of real pleasure in his eyes.
That evening they were taken to
the roof of the building; to be accu-
rate, to section Of the roof which
was surrounded By high wall, SO
high that 1t prevented them from see
ing the courtyard beneath, or anything
but the stars and the pale face Of the

The countess sighed, sob broke
from her heaving bosom and she let
her shoulder lean heavily against MIN;
she buried her face in his shoulder
and the tears trickled down her soft
cheeks as she sighed:
II am SO very, very unhappy"
The chevalier bent his head over
her and his eyes became dark for q
second; then he folded her In his
arms and their lips met in kiss
The spell was short; the next mo-

chevalier picked her up and placed
her on the bench again, as If she we're

down the stairs to his pris on.

CHAPTER viu.
The Fireworks.

Every evening after that, except
when 1t stormed, the prisoners went
up on the roof. These evenings were
the pleasantest part of the days.
During the day the chevaaier read
the daily papers and magazines with
great interest. He found plenty Of
engrossing news there, especially the
preparations of the confederattd navy
and army. One article, very we'll
written by one of the chief engineers,
particularly attracted his attention.
That article described the 2 ray and
It's destroyer The supply station Of
destruction was Madeira, from which
place heavy cables were laid to reach
the Both longitudinal meridian. along
which the q ray ran. The heaviest
current of electricity was conducted
by this tremendous cable to three spe-
cially built boats. The Sampsonian
vibrating rays we're generated on these
boats. Each ray made 100000 yibra'
in harmonious line toward the'Z ray
belt. In time the wall of isolation
would fall down under the immense
force playing against 1t, and the In.
vasion of America would follow.
After a long study the chevalier
placed the magazine on the table and
muttered: 1.-The time for action Is
| nearing"
One evening at the dinner table the
chevalier asked Captain Euler II he
| could have some material for pyro
technical displays in order to lessen
the monotony of their existence.
The kind captain furnished every
thing he asked for. The countess OF
fered her services and they worked al
most all afternoon the next day get
ting the fireworks ready. Df Leor
seemed to be an expert; he soon hat
a large Japanese wheel, several turn
ing stars and also a number OF Ions
sky rockets ready.
When evening came they excitedly
prepared for the grand fireworks The
sky was clear and the moon had mo-
yet risen. Chevalier di Leon arranged
the different pieces, and when the cap
tain came up he fired the first afr run
ner. The long rocket went high III
in the air, whirring and whistling, ant
then, with puff, broke into thousands
of red sparks. Another puff brough
white and the third brought blue.
The next was the Japanese sun
this was fastened to the center OF thu
roof. 1t circled and sparkled for
long time.
The chevalier was deeply interested
in his projectiles and, as the countess
assisted him, Captain Euler had t.
play the part of audience, There wal
larger audience outside theft gncl0s
ure, but that was another world
| When all the set pieces were uset
the chevalier looked up in the sky
seemingly searching for something
at last his hand went into hia poke
and, bringing out an object not unlik'
Browning pistol, he said: And now
ladies' and gentlemen, will show yo'
something new in the pyrotechnica

BLOWOUT CHAINS ARE HANDY
They Are Designed to Pass Around
obstreperous Tire, Closing
and Holding Gap.

Blowout chains are among the latest
novelties to be offered the motor tour
list. They are designed to pass around
the obstreperous tire, closing and hold
ing closed the blowout gap.' With each
chain comes an inner patch to be
placed over the hole or cut, on the in
side Of the shoe, with the sticky side
next to the casing. On clincher tires a
bent lip of the main plate Of the blow
out chain hooks under the rim to the
other side, against the lip OF al auxsi-

there. A screwdriver is the only tool
needed to apply the device, which costs

CHAPTER Vll.-continued.

The chevalier suggested walk in
the open air, but the captain shook
his head. II am sorry to disappoint
you, my dear chevalier, but your ter
ritory ends here" He said this with
such kindness that 1t was plain to the
chevalier that he was sorry for the
Imprisonment.
For two long months the Captain
Hans Euler kept faithful company to
the chevalier.
There no chance to escape from
this prison; not even a chance to look
out at the ocean. The Chevalier di
Leon soon realized that he could not
escape and knew that all he could do
was to wait.
The personal belongings that he
had left in the room at the Hotel
Metropole were brought to him, and
great was his satisfaction when he
saw that nothing had been forgotten.
Papers from Berlin and England
we're in the reading-room and he was
Informed of the doings of the world.
On the 5th of February the chancel.
Tor strobe into the reading-room where
the chevalier was comfortably read,
ing a novel by the English writer, Sir
Rider Haggard, that had been pub
lished about 1920.
What a pleasant surprise, your ex-
cellency!' bowed the chevalier with a
broad smile.
The chancellor was somewhat taker
back; he had expected a different re
ception.
You appear contented here!"
considering the circumstances,

Il have few words to say to you
and l will say them plainly"
'The palmer the better, your hon

THE fact that you are an Ameri
can is proved beyond doubt. VIVA
are you doing here and how did you
come here?"
The answer came as a fash, bu
calm and sarcastic:
Il am listening to you, your excel
lency, and as to my coming, did no
come Of my own accord; l was car
ried." A devilish little smile twinklet
in the gray eyes of the chevalier.
The chancellor was offended; tn
young man dared to play with him
the iron handed master
your jokes are out Of place; yo1
are clever man, but l will have T.
ask my question again. Will yo
answer it?"
'T refused"
Their eyes clashed like the coll
steel of two swords.
"Chevalier di Leon, you are no
taking your situation seriously VIVA
is your liberty worth to your"
sit is very valuable, your excelleI
cy; however, it has no price, as
know that everything comes to hi1
who waits"
"Then you are not willing to cor

don't mean to say that my impril
onment influences me In any way"
The Count Won Werdenstein pace
the room impatiently. Suddenly b
turned to the quietly sitting man.
"Chevalier, certainly admire you
courage. | must admit my defeat,
He offered his hand to the cheyalie
and turned to leave the room saying
Until we meet again, chevalier!"
When the chancellor returned t
Berlin he called for the Countess RI
siny and asked her to attend priyat
audience as soon as possible. She hui
