If you are thinking Of buying a
car costing $500 to $500 more
than Saxon Six" ask yourself
What will l get for this 5000 or
$500 over the Saxon Six price,"
When you dig into the matter
this way you uncover some inter-
esting facts.
In point Of performance you can't
buy better car than Saxon six
for $500 or $500 more.
That has been pretty clearly
proved. AS a matter of simple
truth, Saxoh six" has-in pub
lic-demonstrated it's ability to
out-perform other skies, Fights,
and twelves Of far higher price.
1t is doing so daily in private use
in the hands of thousands of
owners.
And not in one phase alone, but
In many-in acceleration, in flex-
lbility, in speed, and in high-gear
work.
Certainly for $500 or 5000 more
you can't buy better looking
car.
The design Of Saxon six" Sedan
is unusually smart and graceful.
The finish is of top-quality and
has a deep, lustrous richness that
is remarkably impervious to wind
and weather and mar.
The seats are slightly tilted, to
insure you greater riding comfort.
Now, take the features of Saxon
Six They are of the finest
quality.

We doubt if you can find a car
selling at 5000 or $500 more than
Saxon six" that will match
Saxon six" in point of fine-car
attractions.
For instance: One of Saxon
SKIS" important features-Fed-
ders radiators also found on s
cars selling for more than $4,000.
Saxon six" Sedan costs S1,325.
Again, another Of the important
features Of Saxon "Six"-Timken
axles-is also found on seven
cars selling for more than S1,7OO.
One more. Still another impor-
tant feature of Saxon Six
spiral bevel gear-is also found
on II cars selling for more than
1880
And there are 7 other of the big
features Of Saxon "Six," such as
Thinker bearings, Thinker axles,
Continental motor, Stromberg
carburetor. Remy ignition, Fed
ders radiator, Spiral bevel gear,
found on 80 cars selling for more
than $3.50.
Now consider the matter Of up
keep cost.
Here you will find all the evil
dence favors Saxon six" as
against car costing 5000 or $500
more.
You will find the cost of running
Saxon six" quite visibly less
than the cost Of running car

Splendid One C allon Runs Made
by Maxwell Owners Here

among the best scores made in the local
red tank runs were the following:
II. G. Freeman, Jr.. on June 22d made
% miles on one gallon of gasoline.
Albert n. Clay on June 22d made %
miles.
Philip Finberg on June 22d made 36.2
miles.
The contest was limited TO owners Of
Maxwels, driving their own cars.

priced several hundred dollars
higher.
Saxon six" is constructed lightly
and balanced so accurately that it
rides the tires easily, and 50 set
of tires has much longer life.
It's motor has been so refined and
developed, and vibration and
friction have been so largely
eliminated that you get full mile
age from each atom OF gas and
oil.
And yet, despite it's light con-
struction, Saxon six" has great
strength and endurance.
This is proved by the record of
cost for requirements. The most
accurate check has been kept
upon purchases Of all parts for
Saxon Skies" during the past two
years.
1t reveals the individual average
cost per Saxon six" for this two
year period to be but $3.50. Only
$4.25 per year.
SO you see-considering every
angle-Saxon six" not only will
give better service and longer
service than car costing 5000 or
$500 more, but it will cost you
less in upkeep.
And the price-is S1,S25 t. O. b.

He sprang toward the boulevard
when he appeared. shining and
ghostlike In the glare OF the street
lamps, . loud elAmor arose behind
him
Shots were fred at random by the
soldiers coming out of the palace
No one was hit but some soldiers
In the line along the boulevards.
Four OF them fell At their comrades
feet
The others did not understand at
once. Then, seeing the great crowd
pursuing the fugitive, they began to
run mechanically.
The most frightened shot
Hictaner bounded swiftly along,
gaining at each step and shifting the
sea air in his dilated nostrils.
At the end Of the boulevard he saw
q great square. where the eortege had
stopped on his arrival He uttered
cry Of Joy.
The aiIeyways Of MeiIhan lay
straight before him, and there be-
yond he saw the welcome lights Of
the ships at anchor.
He redoubled his speed, revived BY
this promise Of safety.
Beside him was the triple row Of
stupened soldiers. and behind him
was the dreadful mob. that mad
dened, ferocious crowd OF men, with
their Kissing bullets.
Suddenly Hictaner felt something
strike his arm like the snap Of .
whip. He stopped Below his elbow
the bright, red blood was flowing.
He WINGED.
Fortunately q louder elamor made
him realize what folly It would be to
stop.
He went on his way. followed by
innumerable bullets, for when they
saw that one had struck, all the soi-
diers nred-
Most OF the bullets struck their
comrades, but who cGred7 The
crowd rapidly multiplied. the soldiers
broke rank, and presently q great
shooting, cursing. threatening mob
was at the gray mans heels
To them he was the silver man, the
Unknown.
Hictaner reached the quay OF
vieux-Port, and saw the cleaning
sea between the hulls of two ships.
He drew himself together for tho
spring, when a man stood before him
with raised arms.
HIctaner shouted, lunged forward
with his open dagger in his hand, and
struck the man full In the face
The man fell. Hictaner sprang
forward. He felt the freshness Of the
water, and letting himself sink to
the bottom, he said:
"SavedI"
He was well acquainted with the
port, having explored II many times
Despite the darkness Of the water, he
easily found the east. and rapidly he
left the quay behind
After the FIRST few strokes his arms
seemed to be moving with only slight
difficulty.
"The ball only EraIed me-" he said
to himself.
Convinced now that Moisette would
soon be found, he rose in q happy
mood, and SWAN just beneath the sur
face OF the water. ..-..
Around him he heard the character

OF screws churning UP the water.
