The coach, now officially recognized
by authorities within the industry, !, was
introduced. TO the public in 1921 By the
Hudson Motor Car company. The first
coach was on the Essex .chasSis 1t
proved 20. successful that very shortly
afterwards a similar body vas mounted
ON the standard chassis of the Hudson

Essex distributor. 1.-THE coach il an

Take the ,crankshaft, for example.
The crankshaft is the backbone of an
automobile engine, and; as every. en-

will one that has too great q distance
between the scrapkshaft supports. And
whipping means vibration. .t.s
E 'sThe crahkshaft for the Peerless six
engine is one. of the largest and heaviest
used in any car. It is mounted ON
seven main bearings, each of which is
2 3-8 inches in diameter. The result Is
thdt there is no whip COR side play

flow. .s.5 ~ =
Light pistons and connecting rods,

tribute largely to the nice balance Of
the engine, and the four bearing cam
shaft delivers a maximum OF power.

paralyZed His limbs refused their office; they seemed turned to lead. Slowly, where he would have had them swift, his arms relaxed their grip of that sweet body. Slowly they uncoiled themselves. and slowly he fell back before her, crouching, for ward the while. staring ever. his jaw fallen, his face the face of man in the last extremity of terror.
 Suddenly he raised his right hand to point with a shaking finger at her throat. Hoarsely, in cracked voice, he spoke.
 "The tokens. The tokens"
 The three grooms, entering at that moment. checked and stood there just within the threshold as if sud- denly turned to stone.
 The awakening Holes. on the ground, raising himself a little, and thrusting back the tumbled hair which was being matted to his brow by blood from his cracked head. looked dazedly round and up to see the Dukes shaking, pointing hand. to hear the Dukes quavering voice, this time. saying yet again:
 "The tokens.''
 His grace fell back step by step, gasping with dread, until suddenly he swung about to face his men.
 Back" he bade them, his voice shril. Pack. Away. Out if this.

 In the desire to be what you arc not lies the danger of doing tho thing for which you will be sorry. Do. not under any consideration be tempted to indulge in any fat faker's nostrums.
 Common foodstuffs may be divided into certain groups which in Il meas urc correspond to the needed chemi- cal clements in the body. There are food chemical companies which ad- tcrtisc their foods supply all these natural elements. so your life pro cesses win be fully complete by using their compounds.

Colonel Holes. soldier and adven- turer, returns 10 England. his native land. when war with Holland is de- clared. It is dangerous for Holes to secure a commission in the English army because the name of Randall Holes. father of the colonel. appears on the warrant for the execution Of the late king.
 His Grace of Buckingham hires Holes to abduct the actress, Sylvia Farquharson. It is dark when the colonel carries her off and. when he arrives st the house Buckingham has rented. Holes is horror struck when he sees that Sylvia is an old sweet heart. When the Duke arrives upon the scene the two men engage in a duel. Buckingham calls for his servants and they attack the colonel. who is knocked unconscious. Sylvia is mortified spectator.

Bc~s Dean Made a Move to Be
 Exnccted of Her

i. Bees Dean in Alfred Durkce's or flee apparently as much at home taerc as in her own school room Nhut 1 I it mean"
 ne query pounded against my | a.a tton as I forced myself |" . pain my crrand to Aired. But l nat t aside for answer and con- s,z.el4 ton when 1 should have com pttcd the urgent business which had Tod me to enlist Afred's aid.
 Alfred Y" said tenscy. some thing has happened, which l can't esplA;n over the telephone. and l need somebody's help right away. Dicky is out at the farm. and l can't reach him.
 "Nhere can l meet yon?" Alfred interrupted. and l noted that there was something besides readiness to hcp in his voice There was q distinct note Of eagerness, which l had common sense enough to know was not elicited by any special personal in- terest in me. There could be but one other explanation-he was glad for some reason to escape from his office at this particular time. and for gentle Leila Durkee's sake, l rejoiceA greatly in the knowledge.
 I already had conncd my answer to his question.

 Bess Talks to Madgc

 Some money to cash a check" I answered. T haven't enough with me, and I haven't time to go to the bank"
 How much?'' he queried quickly, .'I can get anything you need. Par don just n minute. What did you say, Madge?"
 I named the sum l needed. noting, ns I did so, that he had interjected words addressed to someone else, That Bess Dean was interrupting him was patent, and was not sur prised when he had repeated the sum with hearty 'all right" to hear him say hesitatingly.
 'Rcss is here. and would like 10 speak to you. I'll hurry right along. Good by"
 "Nait "' I heard the word in Hess Deans most imperative accents, and then her voice sounded eooincly into tho telephone.
 "uh Madge dear, l can't help the inference that yon arc in some sorL of trouble. You Know how I'd love tn help yon. Can't l come np with Alf?"
 struggled with the temptation to toll her in the plainest lansuage just wsai l thought of her. bus instaas I a -sefnd conrleausly but firmly:
 That's aafnlls good of you, Ress, lff Indeed need no one but Alfred, it now. and--fo speak plainly s,n extra person would only hinder r". Thank you so much, however, am sure 1 appreciate your offer at its null value. May speak 10 Alfred again?"

She is infected. My God. She has tho plaguc. The tokrns are upon hcr."
 A moment still they stood at gaze with him. They cranod forward, to look at Miss l'arauharson, leaning faint and limp against the walnseot, her white neck and shoulders thrown into dazzling relief against the dark brown of the background. and from where they stood they cond mako out quite plainly stamped upon the white lovelness ot that throat the purple blotch that was the brand and token Of the pestilence.
 As the Duke reached them, they turned. in sudden dread of him. Might he not. himself, already carry upon him the terrible infection? With wild cries of terror they fled be- fore him out of the room, and out Of the house. never needing the com mands which. as hc prccipiiately fol- lowed. hc flung after them.
 CHAPTER NNt.
 Under the Red Gross
 Colonel Holes and the woman hc had sought so passionately long years ago. until despair had turned him from tho quest, were alone together at last in that house brought thither by that ironic destiny oG his, in cir- cumstanccs Of horror piled on horror.
 Painfully he got to his knees, and with dazed eyes looked round the room. Again he brushed back the tangie of hair from his brow. and thereafter dnlly considered his hand which was wet and smeared with hood. Understanding or where hc was and how he had come there grew clear at last. He rose 10 his feet, and stood swaying n moment look ing round. dull-cynd as a drtp1kard.
 I1n beheld Nancy, her shoulders turned to him. contemplating herself in an oblong Venetian mirror that adorned the wall beyond the table. reflection Of her face. II was ashen. and there was Il staring. ghastiy horror in her eyes.
 She reeicd back. and knew. with out power to help herself. that slir was falling. when suddenly she felt herself caught. and supported.
 She looked up. and bchcld the ghastiy. blood -smearcd face of Ran dai Itolles, who had sprung instinc- lively to her assistance. For long moment shc stared at him. dnl1-cyed, Il little frown Of effort drawing her brows together. Duly then she spoke:
 'Do not touch me. Did you hear? have the plague.
 "Ayc heard" hc answered.
 "Yon will take the infection" she warned him.
 "lt is very likely" said he. but no great matter"
 On that he lifted her in his arms. as he had lifted her once before that night. Despite his shaken condition. the act cost him bnt little enoft. for she was very sim and light. Un- i4 sistinF-for she was too dazcd and weak for any physical resistance now she suffered him to bear her to tho baybed.
 Then I1e passtd round Inc conch to Inc shattered windows. uniJarred them. and sct the easement wide to let q drauGht of inc clean. cool night into the sitting room.
 The cool air revived her a little. ses her pulses beating more steadily. and cleared her mind Of some Of the numbness that had been settling upon if.
