Others Haze Increased Their
Pnces-Mot Hudson

Other makers are now announcing price increases
which brings the former $1,000 and 81 800 cars
into the Hudson class. Until present material sup
plies are exhaustedHudson prices remain unchanged
So you can get for a limited time Super-Sx at a
price not Influenced by present high material costs.
When the present allotment is exhausted then
Hudson too, must go up IN price.
For months Hudson has been the largest selling
hne car. It's popularity and the growing scarcity
and increasing cost of materials hasten the day
when you must pay more than you can buy Super
Six for today.

A Test That Never Fails to Reveal Every Weakness
Every Strength of Motor Car

Stock Hudson Super-Six cars are deliberately
sent through tests more trying, more destructive,
than any the average driver could imagine.
For one hour, fully equipped phaetOn with top
and windshield up and carrying five passengers, was
sent at top speed. It averaged 1914 miles an hour
and established the best time for such a perfor-
nance with a stock car. The test was officially
observed by the American Automobile Association.
It is just one of the many similar tests to prove
endurance.
1t was not Preconceived campaign of tests that
We set out to make. Each test was thought suf-
hcient In itself But just as the giant is surprised
as he realizes the ease with which he accomplshes
zach feat that he had felt would Try his strength,
50 the Super-Six has so easily met every test that
more ty'ing and abusive trials have been devised.
Wewere sure that in the 24-hour test stock chas-
SIS would break all previous records. But no one
thought it would go 347 miles farther than anv
other car had ever gone In "a hours. The Super

And every Hudson test proves that In these respects
there IS no car that equals 1t.
Convincing as the official records are, there is
still further proof that no other car has to offer
equal advantages. These proofs are furnished by
$1,000 Hudson Super-Six owners. They have
added their experiences to the official tests.

Six covered 1910 miles. It broke all records for
travelling machine.
So, too, when seven-passenger Super Six set out
from San Francisco for New York It was with con
hdence that It would lower the time of all other
uanscontinental runs. It did so by IA hours and
SO minutes. Then because the run had been made
50 easily and without special planning, the car was
turned around and raced back to San Francisco.
In the return trip it also did better than any other
automobile had ever done IN crossing the continent
IN either direction. Hudson's round trip required
10 days and 81 hours.
Because of the ease with which the Super-Six has
met every trial, it has always suggested something
harder to do.
Endurance First
There IS hardly any quality Of a car that IS so
important to the buyer as that of endurance.
Safety, comfort, reliability, low maintenance cost
are all dependent upon endurance.
Every quality OfmOtor car satisfaction is depend
ent upon power acceleratiOn, speed and endurance.

'Yet when the reservation is thrown

"That is something cannot pre-

"You cant" cOntradicted Marie.
''The chiefs will not insist on the new
treaty-they will do what Pere thinks
best for them and us, If you leave the
matter to him and Reggie"
II must do my duty as acting
agent" insisted Hardy.
The girl turned her back upon him
in open disdain. He raised his hat to
her and started for the cabin, his face
white, but his shoulders squared back
and his head very erect.

"9ou'll order me-" cried Vandervyn,
and again he bent forward as If to
leap at his rival. Hardy stood cold
and motionless in the dim starlight.
The younger man checked himself.
His voice shook with suppressed an
ger: you've got the drop on me now.
Wait till we hear from Washington"
until I am relieved from my pres
ent detail, shall consider myself the
guardian Of everyone and everything
belonging to the tribe" stated Hardy.
There followed a silence of several
moments duration, in which Wander
vyn must have found time to reflect.
He drew back step or two, lit his
pipe, and at last remarked in some
what forced tone of Cancellation: Il
see you're like an army mule-no use
trying to bulge you when you balk.

every WE'LL" replied Hardy.
.Vandervyn started off, sucking at
his pipe. Hardy turned about, and
locked the door on the outside with
the heavy paddock that hung loose in
the jamb staple. He put the key in his
pocket, and walked around the cabin
to make certain that there were no
other openings larger than the narrow
crevices Of the loopholes.
When he returned to the tree, he
found Vandervyn already outstretched.
He picked up his blankets and moved
down the slope, to spend the night In
the more congenial company of the
two remaining Indian policemen.

Don't want to leave you in the

set on going, guess I'll have to-"
''Tell four Of the police they are
detailed to escort yourself and Miss
Dupont back to the agency" ordered
Hardy. He raised his hat to Marie.
Permit me to wish, you pleasant
journey"
The girl turned away without reply
ing. Hardy stood for a moment cool
and still under Vandervyn's exultant
smile; then faced about and steadily
walked off along the mountain ter
race.
He did not return to the cabin I'M
til the greater number Of the saddle
and pack ponies had been brought up
from the valley and the returning
party had mounted and ridden away
on the back trail. Vandervyn started
off with them, and Hardy's keen, hazel
eyes dimmed as, leaning against a
gnarled pine on the slope above, he
watched the lovers ride away, side
by side.
ADgered at himself for his momen-
tary weakness, he sprang down the
lodges to the terrace, and fastened
back to talk with Redbear. He was
met at the cabin door by Oinna who
placed a finger on her lips and whis-
pered that her brother had at last
fallen asleep.
Hardy withdrew to the shady side
Of the cabin, where he sat down on his
saddle and began drafting list Of in
structions for the tribal delegates to
Washington. He was still writing
them when, shortly before nightfall,

81 shall see that justice is done to-

fixed the younger man with glance
that compelled him to blink and look
aside.
But now Marie's swift-mount1ng
scorn and anger burst out in a storm
of passion:
"You hypocrite! you self-righteous
martinez! You would reprimand my
father and Mr.. Van, would you? Ana

"You add to my regret. Yet, as act
Ing agent, it is my duty to censure
your father and Mr.. Vandervyn for de-
ceiving me. Had they told me about
Nogen's malfeasance-his blocking of
the new treaty and compelling the In
dams to work the mine without pay"
Gle did that?" Marie questioned her
father.
"Well, me and Mr.. Van done all we
could to git him to pay EN-" mumbled
Dupont.
"Of course But he did not think
him so meant" The girls eyes blazed
and her nostrils dilated. $50 that was
why he was shot? don't blame the
man who did tt could have done it
myself! The thief = Reggie, IT only
you had let the killer escaped"
"Couldn't," tersely replied Wander
yyn. HE was blood-mad-would have
got Charlie and me, too, If we hadn't
got him."
"That was self-defense," said Har-
dy. 1T has been greed and dishonesty,
though, that have prompted you to
conceal from me the facts that led up
ito the killing. Aside from the danger
to me, you have permitted the tribe to
verge upon an uprising that would
have compelled their pacification by
the war department.. All this that you
might steal the ore Of this mine."
"Steal our own ore?" beloved Du-
pont. "You're plumb locoed!"
"Not so loud, if you please" quietly
replied Hardy. 'The ore is not
yours"
'"That's all you know about il" blus-
tered the trader. "Ain't one Of the
discoveries and locators Of the lode"
"The lode is not subject to location.
Ut is on Indian land" 49,, ~
'What if it is? Amt member Of
the tribe?"
"The tribal land has not yet been
allotted in severalty. Every square
foot of ground on the reservation be-
longs to the tribe as whole. NO one
member can hold individual title to
any Of it,"
"Well, what of it?' demanded Du-
pont, far from silenced. IF the tribe
wants to work the mine, and they want
me and Mr.. Van to manage it for them
and buy the ore, what in hell have you
got to say about it,"
''Nothing at present." answered
Hardy. IF the tribe consents, I shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them Of only few thousand
dollars before the new treaty is con-
summated and all this mineral land
opened to location and entry under the
mining laws"
The veins on Vandervyn's crimsoned
forehead were swollen and pulsating
with his furious anger. He spoke in

A few minutes later Hardy came out
of the cabin. Though grave, he was
cool and alert. He at once walked up
to Dupont, who sat putting at his pipe
on the top of the mine-dump.
"Redbear seems to be quiet" he
said. 'Where is your daughter"
Dupont pointed vaguely down the
mountain-side. "She went off with Mr..
Van, to try to smooth down his fur.
You riled him considerable, Cap"
II regret that it was necessary to
reprimand you"
"Al right, Cap. don't bear no
grudge. Mebbe now you'd like to take
a look at the NINE"
EYES," crisply agreed Hardy.
Dupont rose and led him into the
mouth of the tunnel. There he I'M
locked a heavy tool chest and took
out two candles. These were needed,
for though the tunnel ran into the
mountain side less than three hundred
feet, it's twisting course along the ore
vein soon shut out the daylight. Du-
pont noticed his companions dubious
look at the soft ore-body that formed
the roof and one wall Of the tunnel.
"Walk quiet, and don't talk loud"
he said. eve amt done no timbering
yet. Drove in this drift to the foot of
the shaft fast as we could git the lazy
cusses to work, SOS we could figure
what we had to count on"
Hardy made no reply until they
came to the end of the tunnel and
stepped out into the dim daylight of
the shaft bottom. He looked up the
big, square, timbered well, and re-
marked: "You sank this first, then
drove in to meet it,
"Yep. Wanted to make sure the
vein didn't pinch out nowhere. Nogen
and Mr.. Van both figured we got three
hundred thousand dollars Of ore as
good as blocked out"
"Ah," said Hardy, and he signed to
Dupont to lead the way back.
They had gone twenty-five or thirty
PAGES when little slither of ore fell
on the floor Of the tunnel in front Of
Dupont. Instantly he sprang forward,
with whispered cry: "Jump-
quick!"
Hardy leaped after him, barely in
time to clear the ton or more Of ore
that dropped from the roof in mass.
Without stopping to look behind them,
the two men fastened stealthily down
the slight slope of the tunnel, their
candles appraised and eyes fixed on the
soft, raw ore-body above them. At any
moment the entire roof might cave in
and bury them. The shock Of the first
fall loosened small quantities Of ore
all along the passage. Fragments drib-
bled down behind and in front of the
fugitives and even on their heads.
Panic-stricken, they broke into a run.
It was none too soon.. AS they dashed
around the turn that brought them to
the outlet, the entire roof behind them
came thudding down.
Safe outside, Dupont shook the
fragments from his hat and clothes,
and pulled out his bandanna to wipe
off the sweat that was gathering in
beads on his forehead.
"Ughl" he grunted. 'sDon't never
see me in there ag'in till it's timbered."
Rather close CALL" remarked
Hardy.

trader, and he scowled. "Nom dun

"Me, neither. Stead of being rid Of

The Tomahawk., 1917-01-25

Vandervyn came jogging back to the
mine. He had had delightful ride
with Marie, and he complacently init
mated the fact to Hardy.
In the midst Of this subtle torment
ing of his rival, Oinna came out to
serve the supper that she had cooked
in the cabin. Vandervyn abruptly
changed the subject, and began to talk
about the council next day. Hardy
gave no sign that he observed this
sudden break or the furtive, adoring
glances that the girl bestowed on Van
dervyn as she glided softly to and fro.
The night came on, clear and Still.
AS they puffed at their after-supper
pipes, Vandervyn suggested that, out
of consideration for the young woman,
they roll up in their blankets outside
the cabin. TO this Hardy made no OBJ
lection. They picked out a soft spot
matted with fallen pine needles, under
a low-growing tree, and soon both
were seemingly fast asleep.
After several minutes Vandervyn
spoke to his companion in low tone.
Hardy did not answer. Vandervyn
drew out his pipe and struck match.
He held the flame above Hardys face.
The eyes were closed, and the severe,
half-melancholy expression Of the
harsh TEXTURES was relaxed as If in
heavy slunber.
Vandervyn extinguished the match,
and slipped out Of his blankets. Noise
lessly he crept down to the cabin
and around to the door. It was barred
on the inside. He tapped on it.
There was sliding sound within
| the cabin, and the heavy door began
to swing inward. Vandervyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. At
the same moment sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jerked him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whirled
about. 1t was empty. He bent for
ward to spring at the dark form in
the half-open doorway.
"Stand back!" came the stern COM
mand. II have your revolver. Oinna,
close the door,"
The door swung shut. In the tense
silence the rattle Of the bar as it shot
back into it's socket was distinct. Van
dervyn's teeth ground together.
"You- straight-laced prig" he
choked out. "Get away from here!
I'm going in"
Suppose do not choose to give it,"
"Then I will protect her by ordering
you to leave the reservation as fast
Us you can travel"
Tssee," tainted Vandervyn. "You

You'll go and blat to her about this"
"You know very well I caEnot do

laugh. "Do you think Jake's the sort
