Chief George"
The policeman looked at the bent
figure clothed in mangy-looking
furs, with a dirty capote over all,
and then gave a swift glance at his
companions, the eyelid nearest to
them f1uttering down in a slow wink.
A second laters he was addressing the
chief in his own tongue.
II come" he said, from the Great
White Chief, to take away one who
is a slayer of women. 1t is said that
he has refuge in thy lodges"
The Indians dirty fave gave no
sign of any resentment. "There is
no such mar in my lodges"
But I have heard there is, a man
who is the son of thy sister, with a
white feather"
The old Indian looked as If con-
sidering the matter for a moment,
then he said slowly. MY sisters

days ago"
"Whither went he?"
The Indian waved his hand north

He took with him all our dogs"
"Done!' said the policeman with
a quick glance at Stane. at is GER

He turned to the Indian again,
whilst Stane looked at Helen. you

is not yet over"
Apparently not" agreed Helen
smilingly.
Stane again gave his attention to
the conversation between his friend
and the Indian, but half a minute
later, happening to glance at the
girl, he surprised a look of intense
interest on her face. She was look

little apart from the rest, and won

her, Stane asked, what is it, Miss
Yardely? You seem to have found
something very interesting"

Begin Here Today

Hubert Stane rescues Helen
Yardely when her canoe travels to-
ward dangerous waters. Together
they start to walk the trail to the
camp where Helen is staying with
her uncle, a governor of the Hudson
Bay Company. The camp is near .
northern post of the company. Stane
Is a discharged convict.
A forest fire overtakes them and
they flee from the flames. They set
lie in a cabin they find on the trail.
Trooper Anderton of the N. w. NJ. p.
comes to the cabin and Stane shows
him a paper found by him in a book
loaned to a former friend, Gerald
Ainley.
Now Go On With The Story
The meal was finished without
any further reference to the past,
and after a smoke, Anderton threw
on his furs and went outside. Pres
fently he returned and announced
sbis intention of going up the lake
TO the Indian encampment.
Stane looked at Helen, then he
paid: I'VE will accompany you, An
herton.''
When Anderton had harnessed his
dogs they started off, making di-
cectly UP the lake, and within two
hours sighted about half a score of
winter tepees pitched near the shore,
and with sheltering woods on three
sides of them. AS they came into
view, with the smoke of the fires
curling upward in the still air, the
policeman nodded.
1.-THE end of a journey of two hun
dred miles; or the beginning of one
that may take me into the Barrens,
and up to the Arctic. Lord, what a

He laughed as he spoke, and both
those who heard him, knew that he
found the life a good me-, and was
without regret for the choice he had
made.
AS they drew nearer the camp,
two or three men, and perhaps a
dozen women, with twice that num-

"What is it?" she asked quickly.

answered. "I heard the twang of a

He pointed to the wall of the
cabin, where an arrow had stuck,
and still quivering. Going to the wall
he dragged it out. and looked at it.
1t was ivory tipped, and must have
been sent with great force. The
girl looked at it with eyes that be-
had grown pale.
Calmly, as if hostile Indians were
part of the daily program, she con-
tinued the preparations for supper.
whilst Stane fixed a blanket over the
parchment window. which was the
n vulnerable point in the cabin
This he wedged with the top of a
packing case, which the owner OF
the cabin had improvised for a shelf,
and by the time he had finished
supper was almost ready. AS they
seated themselves at the table, the
girl laughed suddenly.
II suppose we are in a state OF
siege?"
~ don't know. but I should not
be surprised. 1t is very likely"
He considered a moment, then he
said: 1--WE must keep watch and
watch through the night. Not that
I think there will be any attack
These Northern Indians are wonder
fully patient. They will play a wait
ing game, and in the end make a
surprise attack. They will know that
now we are on the alert, and I
should not be surprised If for the
present they have withdrawn alto
gether."
"You really believe that?"
Honestly and truly"
"Then for a moment we are safe.'
"Yes! I think so; and you can go

Rest" laughed the girl. "Do you
think l can rest with my heart jump

bored to go to sleep"
Stane smiled at her words, and ad.
miration of her courage glowed in
his eyes, but what she suggested
fitted in we'll enough with his own
desires, and he let her have her way,
and himself lay Town on his couch
of spruce boughs, and after a little
time pretended to sleep. From where
he lay, he could see the girls face,
as she sat in the glowing light of the
stove.
Helen was thinking of the face of
Miskodeed as she had seen it over
her shoulder, when they were de-
parting from the encampment up the
lake. She had read there a love for
the man who was her own compan-
ion, and in the dark, wildly beautiful
eyes she had seen the jealousy of an
undisciplined nature.
A sound of movement interrupted
her reverie, and she half turned as
Stane rose from his spruce couch.

asked.
"Nothingi" she replied.
IT will take the watch now, Miss
Yardely, and do you lie down and

IT'S REMOVABLE
Upholstery In Overland Cars Can Be
Taken Out

The Overland car is now being
manufactured with removable up
holstery and those who drive Over
lands realize and talk about the
many advantages resulting from such
an Innovation. according to Tom
Turrentine, sales manager.
Today the automobile is the fam
lily car and that application covers
multitude of phases in the every.
day life of the average American
FAMILY. While no one wants to
ride In car with the upholsterine
removed. there are times when the
seat and back cushions of the tom
neau can be taken out and the car
used as general carrier Of house
hold goods. without any damage be-
Ing done to the upholstery.
When moving day comes and the
family are migrating from their city
home to the country house or
changing from one part of the civ
to another part, the tonneau OF
their Overland. with upholstering re-
moved can be readily utilized to con-
vey many household articles. For
the Overland owner who is perhaps
using his car as much for business
as be is for pleasure the same
idea applies. The commercial travel
er, especially finds the removable
upholstery distinct asset. He can
carry large sample cases. trunks or
grips and save the upholstering for
pleasure trips only. he said.

DODGE BROTHERS FLAT
RATES PLAN REDUCES
ALL SERVICE CHARGES
Also improves Quality Of
Work, According To Lo-
cal Dealer

What is meant by flat rates serv-
ice?"
Much discussion of this subject is
heard among motor car owners, but
it is evident, from the nature of these
conversations, that many have only
vague idea of its real significance.
AS a matter of fact, flat rates serv-
ice, as applied by the leading auto
mobile dealers. is not definable in
single sentence.
I'm the first place" according to
Brownell Auto company, local deal
ers for Dodge Brothers, sit means
that careful study was made of the
! thousands of operations that might
enter into the repairing of motor
car. On the basis of these time
| for every conceivable service job
were established, and the mechanic
| is required to complete each job
within the allotted time.
when an owner brings his car to
the service station for repairs" says
Mr.. Brownell, we are able to quote
him positive figure for the work
| to be done. We are also enabled to
give him a definite delivery pre- mise,
! with the knowledge that the car will
come out of the shop on time. Thus,
| the owner has no possible ground for
complaint, either as to price or de-
| livery. In short, flat rates service
| means that the service station is able
to tell the owner exactly how long
| it will take tC repair his car and the
price of such repairs. 1t permits the
selling of service on business like
| basis.
| But there is an element of even
| great Importance to the car owner.
The mechanic is paid by the job and
contrives to get 1t finished on time,
| that he may start a new job. Natu-
rally he is anxious to make>as much
| money as possible, and such a plan
eliminates loatinS. a feature of this
system is the penalty that requires
| each mechanic tC' make good without
| additiona pay, any of his work that
! is returned because of inferior work
manship. This precludes any pos
sibility of carelessness on the part
of the mechanic"
1--WE have found positively" con-
| cludes Mr.. Brownell, that this
method not only reduces the charges
| to our car owners, but it improves
! the quality of our service work. 1t

SALES RECORDS SHOW
LARGE INCREASE IN
SMALL TRUCK DEMAND
One Ton Ford Chassis Meets
Almost Every
Need

DETROIT, Mich, May 12.-Predic-
tons made early in the year that
1928 would see a large increase in
the use of the one-ton truck in both
commercial and agricultural fields
are being borne out in sales records
of the Ford Motor company here.
The rapidity with which the one
ton truck has come into popularity
in delivery and hauling systems Is
shown in recently compiled figures
which disclose that so per cent of all
the motor trucks in service in the
United States are one-ton or less ana
indications are that this high ratio
will be materially increased during
the present year. The growth has
come during the last six years, dur
ing which the oneton truck jumped
from As per cent to the 50 per cent
mark.
Registration figures as of Decem-
Der /, 1922, showed the total number
of commercial cars and trucks in use
in the United States to be in excess or
1900, 900, of which 81 per cent were
FordS.
The turn to the use of the one-ton
truck for delivery and hauling pur-
poses came quickly. Business firms
who few years back looked to the
large trucks because of their load
carrying appeal, soon discovered that
delivery systems could be more easily
adopted to the one-ton truck at less
Investment and at the same time
would afford more load moving units
with increased efficiency and con-
slant activity at the loading station.
Delivery systems We're adapted to
provide a variety of ranges so that
each truck carried an average load
over maxim portion of it's route and
the economy of these frequent trips |
soon became apparent.
And while the commercial field has i
been constantly calling upon the one
ton truck to solve its delivery prob |
lens those in the agricultural field |
are rapidly turning to it for general |
farm use, and in providing speedier |
and more economical transportation |
of products from the farm to the city, |
In adapting their delivery and |
hauling systems to the one-ton truck !
commercial and agricultural users |
have found the Ford truck chassis |
comes most nearly meeting all re-
uuirements. Its ease and simplicity |
of operation make it the most prac- |
teal; it's sure, constant operation |
makes it the most dependable, and it's |
adaptabil to all purposes makes |
it the truck of greatest appeal. Then, |
too, it's service facilities are universal, |
