At the edge of the slope, facing the
corrals. he halted to lift his hend and
shoot up his ears. Then he let out n
piercing whistle and dashed down the
lane.
Madeline, prepared by that warning
whistle, tried to fortify herself for a

she espied an unfamiliar company Of
horsemen rapidly riding down a hollow
leading from the foothills she felt the
return of fears gripping at her like
cold hands, and she fled precipitously

STEP ON STARTER If CAUGHT
Few Motorists Realize What a Source
Of Emergency Power Electric
Device Can 30.

Few motorists realize what q source
Of emergency power an electric starter
motor can be.
When caught on railroad tracks with
a stalled motor the thing to do Is to
place the gears In second" and step
on the starter. The car will move of
the tracks slowly but surely, and In
half the time that would be required
to crank the motor. Some starters
make so much noise that q train
couldn't be heard approaching while
the motor is being cranked.
A practice Of relying on the starter
motor. Of course, is good way to
get acquainted with the repair shops,
but 1t Is assumed that stalling on rail-
road crossings Is not a habit. Many
abuses Of the car are 1ustiflable in
an emergency; the point Is to know
what ones can be relied upon as lIfe-
savers.
