ORIGIN Of SILENT
!, PAIGE MOTOR
Traced To Love, of H. NJ. Jewett
For Spirited Horses And
Fine Dogs

The evolution of the silent Paige
motor and its origin has been Ntrac-
ed back to the love Of H. NJ. Jewett,
president of the Paige-Detroit Mo-
tor Car Company for higherbred
animals, especially horses and dogs.
JeWett, who in his younger days
held several worlds records for
sErnting and was nationally known
for his ability as a runner wearing
the colors of the Detroit Athletic
Club, following his graduation from
Notre Dame University, has built
the same feetness into his motor
cars.
Quiet dignity, the ear mark Of
good breeding in animals can be
found in the engines of this motor
car executives products according
to ChappelI Machinery company
Mr.. Jewett demanded a motor
completely silenced, so perfectly
balanced that idling at the curb,
neither a sound or a tremor would
bctray its presence. Mr.. Allen Chap
pell claims Mr. Jewett's engineers
not only accomplish this in the
Paige but have produced an engine
that in action gives one the sensa-
ton of effortless motion, another
asset in a high bred horse.
Mr.. Jewett has said that his en-
c;neers accomplished even more. In
the high bred horses, he says, you
have a wonderful creation which
at one time during its lifetime
reaches a maximum of fleetness and
radiation of breeding whereas in
the 6-7O motor the quality of silence
is permanent.

NOW co ON WITH STORY

The horsemen Tuscarora had seen
were swifter Rounding a bend in
the road old Peter drove right into
them. With distinct sense Of
alarm, the girl recognized Bodine.
The men with him were little cal
culated to restore her eonposure.
Bodine had no intention Of letting
them go. He knew they were
frightened, and he reveled in it.
81 lost my head az bit the last
time I was at the hacienda. / was
as blind as the kid there, | guess.
And I'm sorry for what | said ;
though / amt sorry | kissed you"
He felt, rather than saw, Merce-
des vince.
II learnt somethin' that night,
though. I'm a peaceable man from
now on. I got an injunction yes
terday morning in Winnemucca
that'll keep anybody from touching
that creek for thirty days. Seem
is believin'. l want to show it to
you"
Mercedes eyes snapped.
lyon waste our time She said
defantly. Il do not care what you
have or what you say. l know, l do
not go with you"
ooh, yes, you will, Senorita," he
smiled. 1--WE amt startin' no argu-
ment we can't finish, old gray
beardw be bawled at Uncle Peter.
Blaze and Tuscarora crested the
rise at that instant and rode rapidly
down the draw. They saw the frac-
tious, panicky team with the horse
men trying to turn them.
Something stirring, all right"
Kent called to Blaze. "Better take
this gun. l got my rifle.
They were within a hundred yards
of the rig before Bodine discovered
them.
whats the big excite?'' Blaze
demanded in steely tones.
Basilio had recognized Kildare.
q want to go home, Mr.. Blaze" ne
cried.
It snapped the tension.
cts home for you, little chief"
Mercedes bit her lip as she saw
Kildare lift the blind boy to his
horses back. Why did this man
alternately hurt and befriend her?
She became conscious of the gradual
swing Of his horse to a position pro-
tecting her from the sinister look Of
Bodin's companion. Tuscarora' s
carelessly held rife did not escape
her, nor did it escape the attention
Of Gloomy.
CANT you afraid that there gun
might go off, your :.
my names Kent-and it might, "
the lover Of peace drawled. 1t
brought laugh from Bodine.
BY the way" Joe went on, adj
dressing the rancher, don't you get
to thinkin' we're licked because old
Jose is gone. l aim to string along
for quite some little while yet. l got
a date to talk to the law right now. =
you're sloww Bodine grinned
hastily. 81 had my talk with the
law Yesterday. There won't any
body touch that creek for thirty
days at least. I'll see that my in
junction is renewed, too"
Kent concealed his chagrin with
a cackling laugh. But Bodine knew
he had given his foe a jolt.
Lets hit dirt, he shouted to his
men. He waved his hand at them
airily, as he and his followers pulled
away.
Tuscarora shook his head. HE
sure put one over on the old man
that time" he murmured, That's
what he wanted to show you, eh--
that injunction? Brand is waiting
for me down at the hotel. I'll burn
it back to town. You go along to the
Rancho"
bIsilio Rugged Blaze tightly as
Kent uttered this dietum.
Peter pulled up his horses at the
patio gate.

Master and Cow-Puncher.

A broad grin spread over the
face of the Big Boss when Kildare
told him of Bodin's injunction. Kill
dare wondered just what amused
him SO much.
Morrow hailed Blaze as he came
out. Tomorrow was the Fourth of
July.
Suppose you're goin' down to
Golconda with the boys" he grum-
bled. Cash's tone showed plainly
enough his lack of pleasue in the
coming day.
Kildare shook his head A dance,
in his present frame of mind, held
no lure for him.
BY supper-time the specter of Bo-
dine had become so menacing that
Blaze decided to ride down to the
Rancho He waited until the boys
had left and then silently followed
them.
Dawn had found him lying sleepy
eyed on the little mesa that rose
back of the hacienda. He had had
his vigil for nothing 1t was after
seven when he rode by the Rancho.
He saw table set with white
naperly, thin glasses, heavy silver
and delicate, cream-colored pOrce-
lain. Daintiness, cleanliness, an
cestry all spoke there.
Il know you be here today, Mr..
Blaze" he called as he ran toward
Kildare. 81 tell Mercedes you come
this morning"
nr.l o,,,o .o,,+ &c 4bo bo,,aa
at that moment. Blaze greeted hRr
with CHEEKY Good morning"
'Why you sleep out there all
night?" she asked at last not un-
gently.
Basilio gave him his answer
Il hear Ny Man single-foot along
the road last night. He stopped by
the fence | told you so, didn't II"
"Ain't no use lying about it"
Blaze said rather shamefacedly. 81
figured Bodine might try to pay you
a visit. | knew you were all alone
here. He stopped momentarily.
Didn't see anything Of him
though" e
Mariana came out with the coffee.
Mercedes turned to him.
Serve the Senior at once, Mari
ano,' she ordered. He has a long
way to go"
The old mozo FASTENED to her
side
"Senor Kildare thanks you for
caring for his revolver" she be-
gan. "Hn wishes you to return it. :"
The old man lifted mournful
face to hers as he pulled the re-
volver from his pocket.
He put the gun on the table.
Basillio had caught the serious
ness of the conversation. 1t kept
him silent, though several times he
tugged at his sisters skirts as if to
catch her attention. Mercedes. was
so engrossed she paid no heed to
the boy until Acklin rode into the
patio.
81 wanted to tell you some one
was coming" the sensitive child
whispered in the natural lull Of sur
prise, following the appearance of
the Big Boss of the Double A.
Mercedes flashed a quick glance
from Acklin to Blaze, who had his
position near the table. His face
was emotionless. Had he known the
rancher was coming? Only by the
slightest inclination of her head did
she acknowledge the cattle-man's
greeting.
"Sorry I couldn't get down to
your fathers funeral" he said
The lie did not pass Mercedes.
