' Cole Announces New
All-Season Models
V ' In announcing its new all-season
, cars, the Cole Motor Car Company
presents a series of automobiles which
afford distinctly new advantages in
enclosed car design.
They are a marked improvement
over the conventional types of the past
and give to the enclosed equipage char
acteristics which formerly were asso
ciated only with cars of the open type.
There are six models in the line of
Cole Aero-Eight all-season cars the
Sportsedan, the Sportcoupe, the Tourse
dan, the Tourosine and the Towncar.
The obvious newness of these six
cars, which more than substantiate
Cole's reputation for building automo
biles which are a bit ahead of the
times, is revealed in the flush panel
construction employed throughout. This
eliminates the overhanging of the
superstructure, adds strength to the
design of the cars, eliminates perma
' nently many of the inherent limitations
of enclosed car use and introduces a
new beauty of line that is instantly
appreciated.
In appointments, the new Aero-Eight
all-season cars are a decided departure
byway of completeness. Automatic
window regulators are used throughout,
i and so cleverly are the glass panels
installed that they may be dropped
down into the lower body panels and
the cars thrown almost completely open '
for summer driving. Other refinements'
are numerous. The upholstery is in!
mohair velvet and in every case is ofj
, a color to harmonize with the exterior
>■ finish of the car.

' Q y ran ' c fib
A strange noise awoke Dorothy, who |
opened her eyes to find that day had
dawned and the sun was shining
brightly in a clear sky. She had been
dreaming that she was back in Kansas
again, and playing in the old barn
yard with the calves and pigs and
chickens all around her; and at first,
as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes,
she really imagined she was there.
"Kut-kut-kut, ka-daw-kut! Kut-kut
kut, da-daw-kua!"
Ah ; here gain was the strange noise
that had awakened her. Surely It was |
a hen cackling! But her wide-open
eyes first saw, through the slats of
the coop, the blue waves of the ocean,
now calm and placid, and her thoughts
flew back to the past night, so full of
danger and discomfort. Also she be
gan to remember that she was a waif
of the storm, adrift upon a treacherous
and unknown sea.
"Kut-kut-kut, ka-daw-w-w —kut!"
"What's that?" cried Dorothy, start
ing to her feet.
"Why, I've just alid an egg. that's
all." replied a small, but sharp and
distinct voice, and looking around her
the small girl discovered a yellow hen
squatting in the opposite corner of the
coop.
"Dear me!" she exclaimed, in sur
prise ; "have you been here all night,
too ?"
"Of course." answered the hen, flut
tering her wings and yawning. "When
the coop blew away from the ship I
clung fast to this corner, with claws
and beak, for I know If I fell into the
water I'd surely be drowned. Indeed,
I nearly drowned, as it was, with all
that water splashing over me. I never
was so wet before in my life 1"
"Yes," agreed Dorothy, "it was pretty
wet, for a time, I know. But do you
feel comfortable now?"
"Not very. The sun has helped to
dry my feathers, as It has your dress,
and I feel better since I laid my morn
ing egg. But what's to become of
us, I should like to know, afloat on this
big pond?"
"I'd like to know that, too,' said
Dorothy. "But, tell me; how does it
happen that you are able to talk? I
thought hens could only cluk and
cackle.'
"Why, as for that," answered the yel
low hen thoughtfully, "I've clucked and
cackled all my life, and never spoken
a word before this morning, that I can
remember. But when you asked a ques
tion, a minute ago, it seemed the most
natural thing in the world to answer
you. So I spoke, and I seem to keep
on speaking, just as you and other hu
man beings do. Strange, isn't it?"
"Very,' replied Dorothy. "If we
were in the Land of Oz, I wouldn't
think it so queer, because many of the
animals can talk in that fairy coun
try. But out here in the ocean must
be a good long way from Oz."
"How is my grammar?" asked the
yellow hen, anxiously. "Do I speak
quite properly, in your judgment?'
"Yes." said Dorothy, "you do very
well, for a beginner.'
"Im glad to know that,' continued
the yellow hen, in a confidential tone;
"because, if one is going to talk, it's
best to talk correctly. The red rooster
has often said that my cluck and my
cackle were quite perfect; and now it's
a comfort to know I am talking prop
erly."
"Im beginning to get hungry," re
marked Dorothy. "It's breakfast time
but there's no breakfast."
"You may have my egg,' said the yel
low hen. "I don't care for it, you
know."
"Dont you want to hatch it?" asked
the little girls, in surprise.
"No, indeed; I never care to hatch
eggs unless I've a nice snug nest, in
some quiet place, with a baker's dozen
of eggs under me. That's thirteen, you
know, and it's a lucky number for hens.
So you may as well eat this egg."
"Oh. I couldn't poss'bly eat It, un
less it was cooked." exclaimed Dor
othy. "But I'm much obliged for
your kindness, just the same."
Hon t mention it, my dear," answer
ed the hen. calmly, and began pruning
her feathers.
For a moment Dorothy stood looking
out over the wide sea. She was still
thinking of the egg, though; so pres
ently she asked :
"\Vhy do you lay eggs, when you
don't expect to hatch them?"
"Jt's a habit I have," replied the yel
low hen. "It has always been my pride
to lay a fresh egg every morning, ex
cept when I'm moulting. I never feel
like having many morning cackle till
the egg is properly laid, and without
the chance to cackle I would not be
happy."
"It's strange," said the girl, reflec
tively ; "But as I'm not a hen I can't
be 'spected to understand that."
"Certainly not, my dear."
Then Dorothy fell silent again. The
yellow hen was some company, and a
bit of comfort, too ; but it was dread-

fully lonely out on the big ocean, nev
ertheless.
After a time the hen flew up and,
perched upon the topmost slat of the!
coop, which was a little above Dorothys
head when she was sitting upon the
bottom, as she had been doing for
some moments past.
"Why, wo are not far from land!"
exclaimed the hen.
"Where? Where is it?" cried Dor
othy. jur.-.plng up in great excitement.
Over there a little way," answered
the hen, nodding her head in a cer
tain direction. "We seem to be drift
lng toward it, so that before noon we
ought to find ourselves upon dry land
again."
j.■ ' S '
"How Dreadful!" Exclaimed Dorothy
"I shall like that!" said Dorothy,
witli a little sigh, for her feet and legs
were still wetted now and then by the
sea-water that came through the open
slats.
"So shall I," answered her compan
ion. "There is nothing in the world so
miserable as a wet hen."
The land, which they seemed to be
rapidly approaching, since it grew more
distinct every minute, was quite beau
toful as viewed by the little girl in the
floating hen-coop. Next to the water
was a broad beach of white sand and
gravel, and farther back were several
rocky hills, while belond these appear
ed a strip of green trees that marked
the edge of a forest. But there were
no houses to be seen, nor any sign of
people who might inhabit this unknown
land.
"I hope we shall find something to
eat," said Dorothy, looking eagerly at
the pretty beach toward which they
drifted. "It's long past breakfast time,
now.".
"I'm a trifle hungry, myself," de
clared the yellow hen.
"Why don't you eat the egg?" asked
the child. "You don't need to have
your food cooked, as I do."
"Do you take me for a cannibal?"
cried the hen, indignantly. "I do not
know what I have said or done that
leads you to insult me!"
"I beg your pardon, I'm sure, Mrs.—
Mrs. —by the way, may I inquire your
name, ma'am?" asked the little girl.
"My name is Bill," said the yellow
hen, somewhat gruffly.
"Bill; Why, that's a boy's name."
"What difference does that make?"
"You're a lady hen, aren't you?"
"Of. course. But when I was first
hatched out no one could tell whether
I was going to be a hen or a rooster;
so the little boy at the farm where I
was bom called me Bill, and made a
pet of me because I was the only yel
low chicken in the whole brood. When
I grew up, and the found that I didn't
crow and fight, as all the roosters did.

"But it's all wrong, you know." de
| clared Dorothy, earnestly; "and if you
i don't mind, I shall call you 'Billina.'
I Putting the 'eena' on the end makes it
i a girl's name, you see."
| "Oh, I don't mind it in the least,"
| returned the yellow hen. "It doesn't
matter at all what you call me, so long
as I know the name means me."
"Very well, Billina. My name is
Dorothy Gaie—just Dorothy to my
friends and Miss Gale to strangers.
You way call me Dorothy, if you like.
We're getting very near the shore. Do
you suppose it is too deep for me to
wade the rest of the way?!'
"Wait a few minutes longer. The
sunshine is warm and pleasant, and we
are in no hurry."
"But my feet are all wet and soggy,"
said the girl, "My dress is dry enough,
but I won't feel real comfor'able till I
get my feet dried."
She waited, however, as the hen ad
vised, and before long the big wooden
coop grated gently on the sandy beach
and the dangerous voyage was over.
It did not take the castaways long
to reach the shore, you may be sure.
The yellow hen flew to the sands at
once, but Dorothy had to climb over
the high slats. Still, for a country girl,
that was not much of a feat, and as
soon as she was safe ashore Dorothy
drew off her wet shoes and stockings
and spread them upon the sun-warmed
beach to dry.
Then she sat down and watched
Billina, who was pick-peeking away
with her sharp bill in the sand and
gravel which she scratched up and
turned over with her strong claws.
"What are you doing?" asked Dor
othy.
"Getting my breakfast, of course,"
murmured the hen, busily peeking
away.
"What do you find?" inquired the
girl, curiously.
"Oh, some fat red ants, and some
sand-bugs .and once in a while a tiny
crab. They are very sweet and nice,
I assure you."
"How dreadful!" exclaimed Dor
othy, in a shocked voice.
"What is dreadful?" asked the hen,
lifting her head to gaze with one
bright eye at her companion.
"Why, eating live things, and horrid
bugs, and crawly ants. You ought to
be 'shatned of yourself!"
"Goodness me!" returned the hen, in
a puzzled tone; "how queer you are,
Dorothy ! Live things are much fresher
and more wholesome than dead ones,
and you humans eat all sorts of even
chickens."
"But we cook 'em," said Dorothy.
"You do, indeed," answered Billina.
"V ou eat lambs and sheep and cows
and pigs and even chickens."

"But we cook 'em," said Dorothy,
triumphantly.
"What difference does that make?"
"A good deal," said the girl, in a
graver tone. "I can't just 'splaln the
diff'rence, but it's there. And, anyhow,
we never eat such dreadful things as
bugs."
"But you eat the chickens that eat
the bugs," retorted the yellow hen,
with an odd cackle. "So you are just
as bad as we chickens are."
This made Dorothy thoughtful. What
Billina said was true enough, and it
almost took away her appeitite for
breakfast. As for the yellow hen, she
continued to peek away at the sand
busily, and seemed quite contented with
her bill-of-fare.
Finally, down near the water's edge,
Billina stuck her bill deep into the
sand, and then drew back and shiv
ered.
"Ow!" she cried. "I struck metal,
that time, and it nearly broke my
i beak."
"It prob'bly was a rock," said Dor
othy, carelessly.
"Nonsense, I know a rock from
metal, I guess," said the hen. "There's
a different feel to it."
"But there couldn't be any metal
on this wild, deserted seashore," per
sisted the girl. "Where's the place?
I'll dig it up, and prove to you I'm
right."
Billina showed her the place where
she had "stubbed her bill," as she ex
pressed it, and Dorothy dug away the
sand until she felt something hard.
Then, thrusting in her hand, she pulled
the thing out, and discovered it to be
a large sized golden key—rather old,
but still bright and of perfect shape.
"What did I tell you? cried the hen,
with a cackle of triumph. "Can I tell
metal when I bump into it, or is the
thing a rock?"
"It's metal, sure enough," answered
the child, gazing thoughtfully at the
curious thing she had found. "I think
