He regained the curve of the drive
without meeting any opposition.
There, slipping the pistol into his
pocket, he climbed rapidly up the
tree from which he had watched the
arrival of the three cars. climbed over
the wall. and dropped into the weed
Jungle beyond. He crept stealthiIy for
ward to the gap where he had con-
cealed the racer drawing nearer and
nearer to the bushes lining the lane.
His car had disappeared
Feeling his way into the lane. he
set out running for the highroad, his
footsteps ringing out sharply upon the
dusty way. The highroad gained, he
turned. not to the left, bur to the
right. run up the bank and threw
himself fatty down upon 1t, lying
close to the hedge and watching the
entrance to the lane.
A faint sound, so faint that only a
man III deadly peril could have de-
tected ii, brought him up sharply.
He ctouched back against the hedge,
looking behind him. For a long time
he failed to observe anything Then,
against the comparatively high tone
of the dusty road, he saw a silhouette

VINO peered out cautiously.
AS Paul Harley had prayed would
be the case, his pursuers evidently
believed that he had turned in the
direction of Lower Claybury. A
vague. phantom figure. Harley saw
the man wave his arm. whereupon a
second man joined him-a third-and.
finally a fourth.
Harley clenched his teeth grimly.
and as the ominous quartet began to
move toward the left, he resumed his
slow retreat to the right-going ever
farther away of necessity, from the
only center with which he was ac-
quainted and from which he could
hope~fo summon assistance. Finally.
he reached a milestone resting almost
against the ratings of the Manor
Park
Drawing a deep breath, he sprang
upon the milestone. succeeded in
grasping the top of the high iron rail
ings, and hauled himself up bodily.
Praying that the turf might be
soft, he jumped. Fit though he was.
and hardened by physical exercise,
the impact almost stunned him.

Presently heavy gates appeared in

Riding twenty-five miles in an
automobile without the aid of gaso-

accomplished here yesterday. The
car in question was that of Emil
Stremlau and the motor was driven
by a mineral substance, invented by
G.. Z. Wack of Newark. Before try

drained all the gasoline from his car
and then Mr.. Wack poured in about
a gallon and a half of the stuff into
the tank. Mr.. Stremlau started the
engine and the car made swift get
away More than a quart of the
stuff remained in the can at the end
of the trip.
Before starting off, some smoke
came from the exhaust, this Mr..
Wack declared to be due TO the stuff

features. During the trip Mr.. Strem.
lau, in some places, ran the car fifty
miles an hour. The gasoline sub

color and smells somewhat like ker-

to Mr.. Wack, comes from the west
