FLUSH PANELS
IN BIGDEMAND
Cole Aero-Eight All Season
Model Makes Instant
Hit With Public.

That the distinctive fush-panel
construction embodied in Cole Aero
Eight all-season models is a popular
innovation in enclosed car design Is
evidenced by he tremendous de-
mand for these models.
Flush-panel construction. cXclu-
sively Cole, does away entirely with
the overhanginE of the superstruc-
ture. 1t adds strength to the de-
sign of the car and introduces a
beauty of line heretofore unattaiucd
in all-season equipages.
Sides Now Uubroken.
The sides of the Aero Eight mod
els embodying this construction now
are unbroken by any protrusion. In
the past the wide betting about the

between the real enclosed car and
one equipped with n demountable
winter top. With a f1ush-panel con-
struction doubts of this nature are
eliminated.
In this new design, squeaks and
rattles have been done away with.

The color of the flame of combus-

Four Efficient Methods
Of Kidding Cars of Carbon

There are four reasonably efficient
methods of removing carbon from
cylinders. They are: Scraping, the
oxygen method which burns IL out.
chemical compounds of various sorts
designed to loosen il so that il will
be blown out of the exhaust. and.
finally, the chain method. a thin
chain of tempered links being in
serted in the combustion chamber
while the engine is moving.
The various methods have been
named in just about their respec-
tive order of merit, and scraping
should be employed whenever pos
sible, as it is the one certain method
of getting rid of carbon.

BLOWOUT Is FOILED

What would you do, if you were
to blow out your last inner-tube'

it? Run in on the rim. Yes. but If
you had any distance to go. you
know how that rim would look.
Here's how one motorist in New
Mexico got away with it.
He had had a large number of
blowouts. Finally the last spare
tube went, and his tube-repair kit
was not in the car. He disliked a
trip on three wheels and a rim, so

Carson, and with Miss Donovan close
behind him, began making for the dis
tant lights Of the TimmOns house. AS
they followed the road, which paral-
| leled a Whispering stream, the girl be-
gan to draw him out skilfully, aud was
amazed to find that for all Of his
| rough appearance he was excellently
educated and gentleman of taste.
Finally the reason came out.
I'm a college man." he explained
proudly. $50 was my partner-same
class. But one can't always remain
in the admirable East, and three years
ago he and l came here prospecting.
Actually struck some pay-dirt in the
hills yonder, too, but it sort of petered
out on us. 1t was broken in two by
some upheaval of nature. We were
still trying to find it when my part
ner's father died and he went East to
claim the fortune that was left. I
struck the vein again-when my last
dollar was gone. That was month
ago. l wired my old partner for help,

They were nearing a small bridge
over Bear creek, the sounds of Has
kelPs revelers growing nearer and
louder. Suddenly they heard an oath
and shot, and the next moment a
wild rider lashing a foaming horse
with stinging quirt, was upon them.
Westcott barely had time to swing the
girl to safety as the tornado flew past.
"The drunken fool" he muttered
quietly. "A puncher riding for camp.
There will be more up ahead prob
ably"
His little act of heroism drew the
man strangely near to Miss Donovan,
and as they hurried along in the silent
night she felt that above all he was
dependable, as If, too, she had known
him. months, aye years, instead of a
scant hour. And in this strange coun-
try she needed a friend.
Now that I've laid bare my past"
he was saying. "don't you think you
might tell me why you are kere?"
The girl stiffened. To say that she
was from the New York Star would
close many avenues of information to
her. No, the thing to do was to adopt
some "stall'' that would enable her to
idle about as much as she chose. Then
the mad horseman gave her the idea.
"Oh! she exclaimed, 81 forgot I
hadn't mentioned it. I'm assigned by

Miss Donovan and Willis sitting in

their eyes commanding the entire

directly ahead of them.

Donovan.
Ten minutes later young man
entered the cafe, swept it quickly with
his eyes, then made directly for the
enclosure occupied by his inamOrata.
The man was Cavendish.
In the booth behind, Miss Donovan
and Willis were all attention, their
ears strained to catch the wisps Of
conversation that eddied over the low
partition.

"You? Why does he need your"
"Lack of nerve, guess; he's out of
his element In that country. If 1T was

better. Anyhow, I'm going, and /

Cavendish half smothered an oath.
'How much do you want?'
'oTen thousand. I'm willing enough
