THEY'RE GIVING
CASTOR OIL TO
engines NOW!
BY p. ). SEXTON

President Sexton Castor Motor Oil Co.
II would be exceedingly hard to say
Just when castor oil first became
known as the most efficient means OF
fabrication, and its application TO the
motor is only one step more in its
more or less useful career as a means
OF eliminating friction which cannot
be so thoroughly realized with the
common mineral oil preparations
One of the principal problems which
have troubled the automobile engin.
GERS since the first gasoline motor was
built has been the elimination Of car
bon in its hard state. To do away
with his deposit in the cylinders
means not only greater life 10 the mo-
tor but increased power, for so long
as the hard carbon is present II will
grind on the pistons and cause not
only material damage to the motor but
loss OF power through imperfect ac-
celebration.
Il was only through scientific re-
search by Mr.. w. T. Rice, vice-presi-
dent Of the Sexton Castor Motor Oil
Company, that this problem was final
" solved. As one who bad provided
most racing drivers with their mineral
castor oil combinations he was thor
oughly versed in both the original
advantages and disadvantages. His
final tests resulted in the process We
now use and which is amply protected
by our patents.
There is hardly single case where
Sexton castor motor oil has been used
that the old mineral compounds have
been placed in the engine unless it was
for the reason that It was Impossible
10 secure It from the uninformed deal
er or the one who places huge profits
before quality service to customers.

of the car. Inside, Helen was reading quietly when Lug's hand, holding a handkerchief saturated with chloro- form, was thrust through the window and despite her struggles Helen soon was overpowered.
 With a quick word to Bill, above, Lug scrambled into the car. He placed Helen, now unconscious, in a sitting position and ran to the hind end to look for the machine. It had over hauled the train and was speeding be- side it along the highway. Lug waved to the driver to come on. Returning to the car, he motfoned to Bill to help him carry Helen out. The two men picked her up and took her to the plat form. How to transfer her to the mo- torcar was problem that might have given pause to more clever men. Lug intended at first to throw the helpless girl from the platform into the ma | chine, but this he discovered would never do-the distance was too great. Bill, an old sailor, came to the res cue with another arrangement. In a | jiffy he had lashed Helen into a kind of cradle in the middle of the long rope, and, throwing one end to the | driver, shouted to him to make it fast The latter when he caught the line, | hitched it to the side of his car, and with the motor and the train still at high speed, Lug, on the rope, went | hand over hand down to the motorcar. | Loosening the hitch, he then drew in the rope, while Bill, on the platform, carefully paid out and Helen was transferred, uninjured, from the train to the machine.
 Once within the motorcar, Helen was unceremoniously dropped to the bottom and left there, while the ma chine was turned around and her cap tors whisked back for Las Vegas with | her.
 Storm, by this time, had left the con- struction camp and was waiting at Baird for the train bearing Helen. The train drew in and stopped. To Storms surprise and disappointment, not sol itary passenger got off. He accosted i the conductor: Helen Holmes was coming up today. Where is she?" The conductor looked down the plat form. "She certainly was on the train," he declared, puzzled. 'I saw her just before we got to Arden"
 Storm, the trainman following,
 walked hastily through the coaches. Helen was not to be found. A freight

shortly. A feeble grin overspread Spikes battered features.
 Seagrue had brought to the desert with him from his camp two rogues whose names had gradually been re- duced by bad spelling and hard knocks to "Bilf' and Lug" The pair were in his rooms with him when he asked whether Spike had come on the pas senger train.
 Bill was looking from the window at the moment and answered, That looks like Spike down street, now"
 In a few moments more Spike had found his way to the rendezvous. Sea grue, impatient as always, demanded to know as soon as he entered the room what had kept him. Spike told his story, or at least such part of it as he deemed 1t wise to tell, and, turning the tables on Seagrue, asked what was up. Seagrue told him of the right-of- way contracts expected the following day by Rhinelander.
 What of it?" demanded Spike. We must get them announced Sea grue, bluntly.
 Who's we?" inquired Spike, impu- dently.
 4ou!' return--< Seagrue with as much insolence as he could throw into one word. Spikes sullenness angered him and he continued to explain, but in no very amiable tones: Tt means | the hip and of iah foy o1a lar if those contracts reach him; whereas, if l get hold of them, we can tangle him up worse than ever Spike spoke up with a new and sud- den energy: You can't get those con tracts. The girl is taking them to | Rhinelander tomorrow"
 How do you know that?" T saw the package in her hands, not ten minutes ago"
 Seagrue knit his brows for a mo- ment. T guess there's one way to get | them" he said, looking hard at Spike and from him to the two lesser lights. We'll have to get Helen" Then I can tell you" blazed Spike, | you don't get them" Seagrue looked at his tool in amazement The con- vict's face darkened. "The man that Harms that girl'-he raised his voice -ainously-'reckons with me" He registered an oath with his threat ''I'll tear his head from his shoulders!"
 You fool" stammered Seagrue "No body means to hurt her. We'll carry her off and take the contracts from

her. When the thing blows over we'll let her go."
 Leave me out of the job" growled Spike bluntly.
 Seagrue sprang to his feet-he was a powerful man-and grappled with the convict. The two struggled. Not word was spoken. Only the grunt- ing and gasping of life-and-death grapple, the slipping, gripping and scuffling of two enraged men, with Lug and Bill looking on, broke the silence of the room. Spike gradually bore his enemy backward and downward. Lug and Bill jumped in to help Seagrue. Spike, shaking himself free from the three, whirled into a corner and caught up chair. Lug jumped for gun. Spike, with the strength of a giant, smashed the heavy chair across the table, shivering it to splinters and, raising a piece of it as a club, sprang for the door, "I'll brain the one that lays a hand on me-" he cried. Stand back"
 
 was getting ready to take the train.
 Seagrue overnight had outlined his scheme to his two men, and, directing them how to work, told them that after they had secured Helen he would pick them up with his automobile at Mile Post 149 With this understanding, he drove away in his car. The two men went to the train.
 Had they been more alert as they walked down the street, they might have seen Spike lounging on a corner. Reaching the station, where the train had already arrived, they decided to make the hind end of the observa- tion car. But as the train started a party of people came out on the ob- servation platform, and the two men slunk around to the other side of the train.
 AS soon as they had got their bear ings, Lug, taking coil of rope that Bill had brought, threw it over the top of the car. where it caught and hung on one of the gas cocks. Test ing the rope carefully, the two be- came satisfied it would hold and, one following the other, they climbed from below to the top of the train. When .se train reached Arden station they v7-- relieved to see the people at the end of the car leave, and when the train was once more under way and the station disappeared from view, Seagrues roadster appeared on the desert.
 Lug lowered himself down the side

SEVENTH lNSTALLMENT
SPIKES AWAKENING"

Resolved to get completely away from the constant interruptions in his work, Amos Rhinelander replaced his burned camp with outfit cars and moved at once to the end of his con struction work, now well advanced on the desert
 The new equipment was as complete as money and energy could suggest. And no sooner were the cars out on a spur at Baird-near the end of the new line-than linemen were busy making telegraphic connections for them with the Tidewater system. The moment the wiring was done Storm new line ought to go to Helen, who had now been transferred from Signal to Las Vegas, division station below Baird. Rhinelander was pleased with the suggestion and Storm wrote out a telegram. The operator sounded deien's call, and after moment an- nounced she was on the wire taking Storms message. It read:
 Rhinelander says contracts on Num- Der Nineteen. Bring them up Sunday. Storm will meet train here and drive you over to camp.
 Seagrue, during this time, had al eady made counter-dispositions to meet Rhinelander's arrangements and uad established a secondary headquar- ters at Las Vegas, where he con- trolled an icing concession.
 Spike had been laggard in following seagrue up the line as directed, and +he latter sent as many unpleasant messages as he could to Oceanside, where Spike was in retreat. But as 5eagrue's continuing summons grew more and more peremptory Spike was obliged to take notice and get under way for the desert himself.
 Leaving Oceanside the night after a arouse, he woke next morning as the rain was pulling into desert town strange to his eyes. Somewhat mud lied, anyway, and being unable to rec ,gnize his surroundings, he asked a fellow passenger the name of the 1lace; but he forgot it the moment he

heard it. However, on scanning close 1y the appearance of the block of crude buildings facing the station, he reached
 the conclusion it would be good place to supply at least one of his needs, and
 forthwith hastened from the coach to the nearest corner groggery. Once in- side the place, his attention was held for moment by a rambling discussion carried on by group of early morn ing loafers. Spike, never happy out side wrangle. struck unhesitatingly into the talk, which was concerning how loud Caruso could sing, and dis puted practically every statement ad- vanced by anybody. After prolonged loss of sleep in the city and with nerves none too amiable at best, now shattered by drink, he was in an ex- ceptioually surly state, and before he knew it had fist fight on his hands. The brawl was short. The three or four whom he had angered sel on him together and, making a job of it, threw him bodily out on the sidewalk. One of the party proved Samaritan enough to follow him out and hand him his cap and letter he had stuck inside it before leaving Oceanside to read at his leisure. After putting the note away he had forgotten all about it.

train going to Las Vegas was standing on the passenger track. Storm ran to the caboose and explained his anxiety to the train crew, who were prompt to make ready to aid him. They pulled out with Storm in the cab to scan the right of way.
 In Seagrue's machine Lug and Bill opened Helens satchel. They found big package of letters, and believed they had in them the contracts.
 Helen, in the rush of cold air. had begun to revive. AS precaution to prevent her giving any alarm-though machines were sufficiently scarce on the desert-Lug took Helen's handker- chief from her satehel, tied it roughly over her mouth, laid her on the seat, cautioned her harshly and covered her with a steamer rug.
 Travelling at breakneck pace over the broad expanse of sand, the car was entering Las Vegas, when, cross ing one of the village streets without lessening speed, the driver almost knocked man down. Indeed, but for a smart jump, the pedestrian would have been killed. He turned with a suppressed curse and looked angrily after the car that had so nearly struck him. The occupants he did not recog- nize; they shot by too fast. But a handkerchief had chanced to fall from the car at his feet. Spike never neg lected Investigating anything that fell in his way. He picked the handker- chief up and walked on, still at inter- vals looking back
 Seagrue was in his rooms, waiting impatiently for the return of the car. When it did at last skid wildly around the corner travelling at a reckless pace, Seagrue ran downstairs and hurried the men to get Helen quickly inside. Spike at this juncture was crossing a vacant lot He looked again at the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes turned once more in the direction of the machine. He saw that the party had stopped before building appear ing to Spikes eyes somewhat familiar. The next moment the men lifted what seemed a heavy burden from the ma chine. Helen had been gagged again and was helpless. But despite her be- ing wrapped in the rug, Spike got, from what he saw, the whole story they had Helen. A sudden rage stirred him. and, throwing caution to the winds, he dashed across the open lot toward the alley.
 The freight train bearing Storm was nearing Las Vegas, but nowhere had
