 First, take position in the drivers seat, make sure that the control lever stands in the neutral position. press the clutch pedal down with the left foot
 Second set the. spark and throttle levers about one-third of the way down the sector on the steering wheel.
 Third, pull out the choker button or turn the air regulator to the choke position.
 Fourth, pull the ignition switch but ton out and note that the starter makes it's usual clicking noise as it commences to revOlVe. Fifth. press the starter pedal Wt,l the right foot, at the same time open ing and closing the throttle by moving it to the top of the sector and back to its original position several times. As soon as the motor starts. the spark lever should be advanced two- thirds of the way down the sector and the choker button gradually pushed in or the air regulator gradually turned to the hot position The left foot may then be removed from the clutch pedal.

YOUR
 ONN GROCERIES
 PLAN IF WOMEN

False pride ideas which existed few months ago about carrying home your own bacon, beans and coffee is now fad among the women motor car enthusiasts, which carries out one Hoover idea" said John Tainsh, gen. eral sales manager of the Mitchell Mo tors Company, Inc. of Racine, Wis.
 One thing this war is doing is to make or rather bring back more dem ocratic ideas to the home folks. 1 can remember few years ago when every body went down town and carried home his own groceries. Local mer- chants declare they are getting eX- cellent cooperation in carrying out the idea of self delivery from women who drive their own motor cars.
 The privacy of the closed car per haps has greater appeal to women than any other type Of body that has ever been put on the market. This is noticeably so of the Mitchell Club Sedan one of the most clever convert ible cars shown this season. Unlike most club bodies this one has ample space between the rear seat and the front seat. Cramped knees and stiff legs are unknown to this car. It seats comfortably five passengers. The body is modern in every detail; it. has the latest removable glasses. All windows let down to the bottom of glass open ing except the two rear side glasses which drop half way. A compartment behind the rear seat has space for the posts and windows, which when re- moved has all the advantages of the open car.
 Women engaged in Red Cross work in down town offices and outlying dis tricts find the sedan the logical car for their work. The ease of handling this particular model, the shortage of chauffeurs, and for sake of economy the demand for Mitchell sedans the past few weeks have increased greatly among those who wish to drive their own cars. For the business or pro- fessional man or a small family this closed car is finding many new lomes at it may be adapted for any season of the year

Finest Fourth of July Weather Ever
Known Here But Little Excite
ment

The Fourth from a strictly pleasure
point Of view was the best day that
could be possibly expected in this
section of the country in July. How
ever Lamar was quiet all day, even
the kids not making half the usual
noise. Many went to picnies at var
ious places and a large crowd attend
ed the ball game and races in the af-
ternoon. When night came though it
seemed the whole town turned out in
a body and came down To the business
section. The cars were packed so
thick on Main street for five blocks
that many found It impossible to get
a place and had to keep moving. Both
picture shows and the big dance at
the Fraternal temple were crowded,
and everybody seemed to be enjoying
the evening immensely.

CHAPTER ".
The Special EQent,

Colonel Posey remained indefinitely in Louisiana, and David was still in charge of the shop. Late the next aft ernoon he closed and bolted the small emporium and started down the street toward the tavern for an early supper. AS he passed musingly along beneath the new-green elms and neared the courthouse. the words he had over heard the night before from the lips of Cranmer's comrade came sharply back. "The courthouse to- morrow night. ."
 The fascination of the little court house plucked David as with an out stretched hand. In moment he found himself before it. Through the half open doors David caught a glimpse of the shadowy and empty place of jus tice; and with a sudden determination he entered the silent and empty cham Der. He would conceal himself within it and learn why Job Cranmer was meeting strange men secretly after nightfall.

his presence with the coolest of bows and invented an excuse to withdraw immediately. She took pains to avoid any repetition of the encounter; and Lydia, with the field clear, was as inwardly self-satisfied as a hen that had driven another hen from the barn. yard.
 David devoured Lydia's easy good humor hungrily. They talked for hours of the old scenes they both knew so well:
 Did you ever climb Standard hill, Lydia, and go on till you saw Sher- wood forest? Going around Robin Hoods barn, we used to call it.'
 'Do you remember the three great oaks by the roadside? Father and I used to lie there and watch the dro- vers go by with their funny sheep and the silly little lambs."
 "Ay, Tve seen 'em come into mar ket by thousands, like. Or did you ever see the Papist Holes, the caves in the red sandstone banks of the Lene?"
 "By the Castle road?" "Ay, we boys used to play at hunt theCaptain in 'em-fair places to hide in, they were"

tinham, beant 1t? I remem- we could see Colwick hall and HoIme Pierrepont from the hill that day. ."
 They both fell silent in the April dusk, their eyes seeing in fancy the old playgrounds on the sunburnt turf of Hunger hills or in the green groves of Clifton. The dusk deepened into night and still they sat lost in dreams of old friends, old childhood haunts. The brown breasted bird finished it's song in the trees overhead; and at last Cranmer came home, stumbling uncertainty along the lane that led from the tavern.
 David, having bidden Lydia friend ly good night, almost indeed ran into her unsteady parent. Stepping aside just in time to prevent collision in the darkness, he caught glimpse of a second figure-a man from whom Cranmer was just parting. "If you're sober enough" the second man was saying, well have another talk ln the new courthouse tomorrow night,
 -" Oavid did not catch the name that followedD twill be on hand then" Puzzled, David strolled slowly back to the tavern, where he still lodged. There was something about this man Cranmer that was not on the surface, something he did not understand, or like.

 "They took my father with them |. he kissed me :" David's voice was low. "There was one who said that my father had melted the riot"
 He was trembling so that his two hearers watched him in pity, but he drew himself together.
 "Of the twelve judges of England we did not know which one would try the rioters. We addressed pleas to all. do not suppose any of our let ters got beyond clerk. We were very funny. In the assizes of Michael mas term the cases were thought so unimportant that none of the judges was delegated to them-John Silver ter Esq, recorder, and Mir. Serjeant Bosanquet sitting.
 -Four of the five prisoners were hanged. The case against them was too open-they had been taken In the very act of violating his majesty's decree, crown law since the twenty second year of his reign. My father thanked God for his release"
 A cry of joy came from Lydia's lips.
 "Thank God, indeed" echoed Cran- mer.
 David smiled at them as a man smiles at his surgeon.
 "In December we were a crowd of skeletons in rags. We stood in the wet snow and watched a man in a black hood fix the nooses about the necks of four men. Then the men fell the length of the rope and were still. They had little life to lose. The man who stood next me was my brother.
 "The fourth felon they hung was my father"
 "Your father!'
 A man sobbing with dry eyes is dreadful to look upon,
 But the fifth man-who was set free?"
 David's face was terrible.
