~memorating the silver anniversary of
the entrance of William G. Durant

Temperance Of the Durant name
on a motor car was taken in trade
circles to be sequel to Mr.. Durant's
announcement last summer that he
was coming back as an active factor
in the automobile industry. His
company has been producing the
Star and Flint cars.
Another debut was that OF Paige
cars under the e name Of Graham

chased the Paige plant.
Practically every booth In the pas

rified to discover the poor brute lying
dead. With horrible malice the savages
had speared the inoffensive beast
through and through.
We found it a heavy job staggering
along with a 17-gallon water tank over
two miles of rough country, and long
before We reached camp darkness had
fallen. Ase we drew near we expected
to see the welcoming glare Of our fire,
but not a flicker of light came to our
eyes. Madison had disappeared.
After a fruitless hunt in the dark we
waited for dawn to try to pick up his
tracks. We had now been living in
the locality for several weeks, and SO,
when we started our search, we picked
up odd tracks everywhere-our own and
Maddison's-which had been made in
our roundabout search for water or gold.
In consequence of this we were
obliged to strike well out into clear
country, and there begin stepping out a
large circle on the circumference of
which, somewhere or other, we were
sure to pick up our missing mates foot
prints. This means slow work, even
with the best of luck, which we did
not have, as we traversed several miles
and more than two-thirds Of our circle
before we finally struck the spot where
man with shod feet had passed.
say shod deliberately, because we found
feet, which, when we totaled them up,
led us to conclude that We had been
surrounded by large tribe of blacks.

OUR worst fears were realized when
" after following the boot tracks for
about four miles. we came on place
Evening star., 1928-12-09

well was running rather dry and I had
been able to fill only one tank, so it
happened that I had the other, still
empty, standing alongside me. Selling
this, managed to get it over my head
as a. shield, and although the stones
ratified and bounced on the tough gall
vanized iron, none of them actually hit
me.
After couple of minutes the shower
ceased, the aborigineS evidently reckon
ing that they had thrown down enough
stones to crack any white mans skull.
So taking advantage of the lull, I jam
med the tank lengthwise across the shaft
and reached for my gun, which hung
from peg driven into the earth within
handy reach. Then I waited my turn.
It soon came! Very cautiously head
of tangled black hair appeared between
me and the sky, to be followed by a
hideous face, from which glared a pair
of murderous black eyes. Normally the
eyes of the Australian black are sunken
and half closed, but when in state of
excitement he opens them wide, and
they seem to project from his head like
those OF savage animal.
This fellows eyes popped little wid-
er, If possible, on seeing that was still
alive and had a gun. He drew back
quickly. but was quicker, and I knew
hit him by the tuft of black hair
which came floating down to me. A
moment later I was hard put to it to
keep my tank shield in place against
the hurricane of stones which de-
scended upon me.
But the number of stones within 2
given radius is always limited, and soor
nay aSsailantS found that the job q
