range Of the small six, was promised
by the Oakland company.
This announcement comes near the
close of the most successful year in
the company's history with an estim-
ated total output for 1928 of close to
100000 units, forty per cent above
1927.
In preparation for 1929, extensive
building projects under way here for
some time past now are practically
completed, and will give the Oakland
Pontiac plant q capacity next year
in excess of 100000 cars.
Production of parts for the new car
is now under way at the company
plant. said to be the most modern
and best equipped in the industry.
The new Pontiac Six will be built
almost entirely in factories owned by
the Oakland Motor Car company and
the Fisher body plant at Pontiac, be-
cause the opening of new production
build parts formerly manufactured
elsewhere.
Keen interest in the new Pontiac
Six was evidenced in automotive cir
cles here and at Detroit because the
Pontiac. first introduced in 1926. has
since consistently shattered all pre-
yious sales records for new make
of car.
While embOdying big car features
and performance, the new Pontiac
Six will remain within the price range
of the smaller six, according to the
announcement issued today. National
showings will be held around the first
of the coming year.

his forehead. That's the very story"
He seized the padre incontinently by
the arm. Gomez
Before the two men reached the
hotel the padre, urged to brisk pace
by his companion, had all Of the story
the doctor had. Selwood had brought
Tracy up from the barn to the hotel,
made him comfortable in room, and
was walking down the stairs when
Carpy opened the front door of the
hall and ushered his companion in.
"He's got itT cried Carpy to Sell
wood, loudly, and before any one else
could speak a word "He's the man
He married them" Carpy, in his ex-
element, caught the PADRES arm with
one hand to urge him forward, and
shot the other like semaphore out
at Selwood. Hes got it, john" cried
the doctor. "This Is the man He mar
ried them. He knows everything.
Padre"-Carpy turned to his compan-
Ion and pointed to his friend-"that's
their boy standing right there!" D
Selwood had need Of all his re-
straint. He stood, motionless, on the
lowest tread of the stairs. The mis-
sioner scanned the serious features be-
fore him with composed and penetrat-
ing eyes. "Is this, them" he said, for
Selwood made no attempt to break
the silence, "is this" repeated the
black-robe slowly, "the child of my

Selwood spent long hours that
morning with the black-robe. He
urged him to come up to the hotel
and remain over night. But the old
campaigner would not leave his In
dams, and professed himself unwill-

take cold; he preferred to camp with
his escort, who had pitched his tent
down by the river-and could not be

CHAPTER XVI
Face to Face,

With good part of the town
burned, most of the people in hiding,
and with few provisions saved from
the burned stores, Sleepy Cat lay
stunned by its misfortunes.
From the cross-bar Of the first tele-
graph pole planted in Sleepy Cat with
grandiloquent words, hung two sim
lister reminders Of the work Of the
reinforced Vigilantes. But sensational
was the unheaval when it became
known that Starbuck, organizer and
brains Of the crooks, had, together
with Big Haynes, made his escape.
No explanations were forthcoming
from the stage barn. 1t had happened
that was all. The man captured by
Selwood was his own prisoner, it was
said, and he was the person to feel
most aggrieved.
Bill Pardaloe, when told that Star
buck was missing, stamped and snort
ed; but under the skillful ministra-
lions Of Bull Page was diverted from
his noisy intention Of heading a death
chase after the fugitives, and was
persuaded instead to 60 to bed
The breakfast served that morning
in Doctor Carpy's Sleepy Cat hotel
was unusual. At sunrise a barrel of
salt pork was luckily found in, and
rolled from, dark corner Of the stage
warehouse, and, together with a bar
rel Of -four and sack of green coffee,
Communicated for public need.
Not until he had assembled this
provender could the busy surgeon
landlord get away to interview the
padre, who, he was then told by Scott,
had gone up to the railroad station
to visit the wounded.
Carpy opened the waiting-room door
to look for his man and paused.
At the far end of the room, sitting
on an appended keg, his back sup
ported against the wall, Carpy sA~
one of his much-bandaged Vigilantes.
Bending over him with q cup Of water
while the wounded man drank was
man Of advanced years, whose dark
soutane easily identified him as one
Of that small but widely scattered
band Of men known to the Indians Of
every tribe Of the West, from the
Staked Plain to Hudson bay, as black
robes.
"Padre," said the surgeon, coming
up with blunt raillery, "Pm glad to
see you making yourself useful. II
you want job nursing, I'll hire you
right now; I'm doctoring this outfit. I"
When the back-robe smiled, his fea-
lures lost their stern repose. 1T would
not be new work." he replied in a
heavy foreign accent, "but I'm sorry
to see such warfare, such bloodshed-
and what about?"
padre, some of this Sleepy Cat
blood needed to be shed-in fact, a
good deal Of It," observed the doctor
evasively. 'Tll tell you all about Il.
First, though, I want to ask you a
few questions, Padre, about something
that happened in this country a long,
long time ago-going on thirty years.
How long have you Travelled this
country, Padre?'
