James c. Casscll, jr.. president Of
the Cassell Motor company, distrib-
utors of Wills Sainte Claire cars at
Santa Fe and surrounding territory,
has just delivered Wills Sainte
Claire phacton to Governor H. ].
Hagerman at Las Cruces. N, NJ.
Mr.. Cessell made trip of 345 miles
over all kinds OF roads in order to
make the delivery himself. He de-
scribes his trip in part as follows:
Even though | was driving new
car, had sufficient confidence in its
ability to not carry any extra water
with me, as practically every other
car does | left Santa Fe at 4:30
Thursday afternoon and arrived at
Las Cruces at GAS the following
evening. Not a single adjustment
had to be made and it was not ncces-
sary to put any water in the car,
although the weather was quite
warm going through the desert and
the wind was with me for long dis
tances at a time. ] averaged Az
miles to gallon of gasoline. ac-
count of which l kept accurately.
Had it not been new car which l
was driving. it would have been pos
sible for me to have gone the entire
distance on high gear. By anyone
who is acquainted with this route
and understands the sand which it is
necessary to traverse and the hills
which are encountered. it would be
considered quite a feat"

Billy Wiskers
By FRANCES TREGo MONTGOMERY.

Stubby had a most delightful
drive. for the day was hne and
he sat on the seat beside Mr..
blackburn. who put out his hand
and petted him every now and
then. Besides, il was much
cooler and pleasanter sitting on
the seat, taking in everything,
than it was running along in
the dust behind the trotting
horses, as most always he had
to do. And then, too, when he
was thirsty, Mr.. Blackburn gave
him a nice cool drink of fresh
water, instead of the muddy wa
ter in the cutters that he had
always had to drink before. TAX
il all in all, he thought Mr..
Blackburn was far the kindest
ready he felt sure he would hate
to leave him when Billy was
ready to go. But that would
probably not be for some time.
To show that he appreciated
Mrs. Blackburn's kindness and
the good dinner she had given
him, Button wandered around to
see II there was not something
he could do to please her. As
he stood in the kitchen door, he
heard her say to Molly, the
cook:
Molly. that old rat has been
eating things in the cellar again
and he's too sharp to go into the
trap to get the cheese. am
sure I don't know what we are
going to do about it.
She had forgotten the big,
black cat she had given a din
ner.
Here was just the chance for
Button! And he saw 1t and took
1t.
Quietly stealing into the cell

lar. he hid in the coal bin on
the coal which was just as black
as himself, and all any rat could
see were two bright spots THAI
shone like red Goals for one
minute and the next looked like
blue stars. Presently his whisk-
ers began to rais-for he smelt
a rat. The next second a big
rat, all unsuspecting of a big
cat lying in wait for him, ran
across the floor not three feet
in front of Buttons nose. The
next he knew something heavy
lit on his back. with its teeth
in its neck, and Mr.. Rat knew
no more.
When the rat was quite dead,
Button carried 1t up out of the
cellar and laid 1t by the stove
in the kitchen. so Mrs. Black
burn would see 1t. Then he
went back to see II he could not
catch some more. He kept doing
this until he had one whole fam
lily OF rats. The first he caught
was the papa rat; then mama rat

waiting a long time and neither
their papa nor mama having re-
turned. the big brother went
after them, then the big sister.
then the next oldest boy and so
on until Button had killed seven
good-sized rats, all of which the
cook found in a row beside the
stove when she came in.
OF course. Molly was very
much surprised, and called Mrs.
Blackburn to see what she had
in the kitchen.
