GRAHAM-PAICE
KNOWN ABROAD
New Car Very Popular In
Europe After Tests In
Speed, Endurance

Graham-Paige, which in its first
year attained a record-breaking
sales volume of more than $80,000,-
goo worth Of automobiles, is rapidly
gaining a place close to the leaders
in export business. Not only has the
new product of the three Graham
brothers taken hold rapidly in for
elgn countries, but a great increase
in the dealer organization abroad
assures the company the benefits Of
worldwide distribution. Graham
Paige cars are now on sale in vir-
tually every country of the world,
handled by dealers operating under
115 overseas distributors, of which
IL have ben obtained this year.
The remarkable gain in popular
fly of the Graham-Paige abroad
is evidenced by the fact that in the
first two months of 1929, export
shipments mot including Hawaii,
Canada, and Cuba) totaled 1924. or
nearly eight times as many as in
the same period last year.
Among the markets recently
opened to the Graham-Paige are
Japan, China, Java. and the Dutch
East Indies, and these countries are
already absorbing a 'goodly portion
of the export shipments.
Perhaps no other American a
has earned a high reputation over-
seas in SO short a time as the
Graham-Paige. Although virtually
unknown a year ago outside the
United States, the Graham-Paige
Is now recognized everywhere as one
of the leading products Of the
American motor industry. It's pres
ent high position is due in part to
its consistent victories in various
Official tests and competitions in
many different countries, defeating
the best known makes of Europe
and America in hiIl-climbS, reli-
ability runs, speed events, and 9TH
er officially observed contests.
Overseas motorists closely follow
these competitive tests, which are
quite different from the speedway
events that now comprise virtually
all the sanctioned motor COMPETE
tons in this country. A victory in
one of these foreign contests brings
a great deal of favorable publicity,
and Graham-Paige has been for
tunate in winning many of them.
There are no countries of the
world that do not readily accept the
standard American stock a with
no other change than in the posi-
ton of the controls. The fact is,
however, that most of the countries
of the world follow the drive to the
right" rule. In Europe, for in
stance. the only important countries
In which traffic keeps to the left
eide of the road are Great Britain,
Austria and Hungary.
On the other hand. there are
many regions in which the Euro
pean car is not well adapted to To-
cal conditions. In Australia, for in
stance, where every effort has been
made to maintain the popularity of
British made cars, American auto
mobiles find a large market because
they are better fitted to operate on
the average highway. Improved
roads are comparatively few. and
the low hung European car, with its
slight ground clearance, is at a
great disadvantage.

st. Paul, June 22.-With the official
opening Of Yellowstone National park
on Thursday. June 20, vacation travel
received a marked impetus, according
to E. e. Nelson. passenger traffic

Dude ranchers also are travelling IN

CHAPTER %
MARKED CARDS

The possibility that my experience
behind the bolted door might be real.
ity Of q grim and terrible kind hadn't
occurred to me since a few minutes
after my return to consciousness this
morning and I had put completely
out Of my mind the thought that 1t
was anything else but nightmare.
And yet here I was with proof Of its
reality in my handl
Every detail of the experience
stood out in my memory as sharp as
a beacon on a dark night. The

And then . my hand going over

"But they couldn't have been dead!"
l groaned. And they couldn't have
been alive! It must have been q

the ace Of spades again and knew
that it wasn't.

Furie lied to me? Were he and Dillon
in the thing together? For he GER
tainly hadn't found me in that room
In which I had come to my senses. As
I had supposed at first, the room into
which I had fallen was in the north
wall of the building. Furie. then,
had gone to the trouble Of climbing
through the window Of the north
room. unbolting the door, and carry.
ing me into the room off the west
side of the gallery. If he weren't
Dillon's accomplice he must have
guessed something Of the conditions
under which ! had fallen into the
north room: and in either event he
had smashed in the door Of the west
room to create In my mind the i'm
preston that it was this room into
which ! had fallen.
Evidently there was something in
the north room he wanted to con.
ceal. What? The poker players?
Probably. And who, or what, were
the poker players?
There was another thing. too. The
recurrence Of this poker" motif. An.
drew had detested the game, yet we
had found the implements of 1t in his
