A car
for every purse
and purpose
HIS YEAR the General Motors line is an
imposing Automobile Show in itself.
Here is every style of body. Every type of
design — four cylinder, six cylinder, eight
cylinder. Every improvement. Every price,
from the Chevrolet touring car at $510 to
the Cadillac with special coach work at
$9,000. A car for every purse and purpose.
Every one of the models now on display
is different and distinguished. Yet two uni-
fying characteristics bind them all together:
1
EVERY CLOSED BODY is by Fisher.
The quality of all body workmanship is
Fisher quality, and because Fisher is owned by
General Motors, every resource has been utilized
to make body and chassis a perfect quality unit.
EVERY MODEL has shared in the
advantages of General Motors research,
purchasing standards and Proving Ground tests;
and in the economies of volume production.
Dollar for dollar you will buy more value in the
car you select because of General Motors quality
and the public’s purchase of more than 1,200,000
Gzneral Motors cars last year.
HE GENERAL MOTORS line is a direct
result of the record-breaking patron-
age accorded by the public in 1926. The
economies which this great volume af-
forded have been passed on to the car
purchaser in even better quality. With great
pride we invite you to inspect these new
General Motors cars and to make one or
more of them your own.

CHAPTER X—Continued

Tom and Bolling rolled in barrels of
rum, which were opened and consumed
as rapidly as the heads were knocked
off ; and the raw spirits combined with
the hellish chant and the suggestive
throbbing of the drums to stimulate
afresh the passions which Ga-ha-no's
dancing had aroused.
At first they pald no attention to us.
They were preoccupied with the ex-
traordinary hysteria which had
gripped them. They apostrophized the
moon. The women flung themselves
upon the False Faces, for It was
deemed an honor to receive the atten-
tions of these priests of evil. The men
worked themselves into an excess of
debauchery. Groups formed and dis-
solved with amazing rapidity. Indi-
viduals, wearying of each other, ran
hither and thither, seeking partners
who were more pleasing or attractive
to them,
But at last a portion of the drunken
mob turned upon us. An old woman
with wispy gray hair and shrunken
breasts beat Ta-wan-ne-ars on the
flank with a smoldering brand. Boll-
ing, whatever of man there was in him
smothered in the brutishness the rum
had excited, carefully inserted a pine-
splinter in the quick of my finger nail.
1 gritted my teeth to force back the
scream of agony, and managed to laugh
—how, I do not know—when he set it
alight.
“The brother of Ta-wan-ne-ars is a
great warrior,” proclaimed my com-
rade, swift to come to my help. “Red
Jack and his friends cannot hurt Or-
merod. We laugh at you.”
Bolling ripped out his knifs and
staggered toward the Seneca’s stake.
“I'll make you laugh,” he spat wick-
edly. “I'll carve your mouth wider so
vou can laugh plenty when we begin
on you in earnest. Think this has
been anything? We—"
A yell of mingled fear and laughter
interrupted him. False Faces and
warriors, women as well as men, were
pointing toward the background of the
pines.
“Ne-e-ar-go-ve. the Bear,
play with us,” they cried.
And others prostrated
and called—
“Qua, Ga-go-sa Ho-nun-as-tase-ta!”
For the second time that night I
twisted my neck to peer behind my
stake, and sure the sight which met
my eyes was weirder even than the
white figure of the Moon Maiden.
There within the circle of the firelight
stood Ga-ha-no again. But ‘twas a
vastly different Ga-ha-no. On her head
she wore a bear's mask, with the fur
of the neck and shoulders falling
around her body to the ga-ka-ah which
draped her loins. In each hand she
gripped a knife, and her white limbs
staggered under her in pretense of
the unsteady galt of a bear walking
erect.
The False Faces began their chant,
the drums rumbled crazily, and she
wavered forward, arms flopping like
paws, head poised absurdly upon one
glide. The savages, keen to appreciate
what they knew, applauded uproar-
iously such faithfulness to nature.
They were equally enthusiastic
when she advanced her muzzle sus-
piciously and smelled of my face. But
they could not hear the familiar voice
which whispered in my ear
“Mr. Ormerod, when I have cut your
bonds be ready to leap after me as
soon as the Iroquois Is free.”
I started so that my surprise must
have been apparent had it not been
for the restraining rawhide thongs.
“What? I gasped. “You!”
“Say nothing. Time is short.
I will"
She danced, with her ridiculous gait,
over to Ta-wan-ne-ars, and I watched
curiously his look of affection and
detestation change to one of quickly
amazement. With his

She pranced to Ta-wan-ne-ars and
performed the same operation upon
him. He, too, gave evidence of fear.
He cowered against the stake and
lowered his head. But when she ad-
vanced her mask and nuzzled his
shoulder, 1 saw his powerful muscles
knotting themselves in preparation
for the dash for freedom.
“Now!” I heard her say very low.
Ta-wan-ne-ars seemed to rise into
the air, thongs flying behind him. I
tugged and jumped and my own lash-
ings parted—and I found myself run-
ning somewhat stiffly beside the Iro-
quois.
A second figure drew up to my side,
and I felt a kuifehilt pushed Into may

“In case,” said the familiar voice.
“And here jis one for the Iroquois,
too.”
1 stared down In bewilderment at
the bear mask. 'Twas so unexpected,
vet so obviously what I might have
known she would do if the oppor-
tunity arose. That clean scorn, that
brave honesty of purpose, I had
marked in her, were earnest of her
determination to dare all for what she
believed to be right.
A chorus of yelps like a wolf-pack
in full ery split the night behind us.
One of the False Faces sprang into
our path, and Ta-wan-ne-ars closed
with him. The Seneca’s knife plunged
into his throat, and he collapsed with
a strangled scream.
As the pine trees shrouded us I
looked back over my shoulder. The
dancing place was covered with a mob
of running figures who fell over each
other in their drunken frenzy.
“To the left,” sobbed the voice from
the bear's mask.
We turned between the trunks of
the pines, the mat of fallen needles
springy underfoot. Behind us the fires
of the dancing place were a faint
radiance in the dusk. Branches
crashed; bodies hurtled against each
other; a bedlam of shrieks resounded
to the skies.
“Let me help you,”
rescuer.
“There will be no need,” she an-
swered, running stride for stride be-
side us. “Do not be concerned for me.
Many a mile I have run with the gillies
over the Highland hills.”
She stumbled as she spoke, and I
set my hand under her elbow. Ta-
wan-ne-ars did the same on the other
side, and so we ran for a space, three
and three, our bruised and rusty joints
gradually limbering with the effort.
Presently we came to an opening
amongst the pines, with a huge, flat
rock in the center and before the rock
the ashes of a fire. My foot struck
something round, snd a human skull,
blackened and charred, bounded ahead
of us. 1 felt a shudder pass through
the slender figure in the mask.
“Tis the altar of the False Faces,”
she murmured. ‘‘None but the Ga-go-sa
will dare to follow us through the
wood.”
“Was that your thought?”

Oh,
“Go-ha-no thought of all,” gasped
our companion, her voice strangely
muffled by the mask. “She came to

be done—fetched me here—procured
me the mask and costume—taught me
the dance. 'T'was she secured the de-

“Where is she now?" asked Ta-wan-

in pity.

“Under those bushes,” she sald,
pointing, “you will find your clothes (

ning.”
I scurried into the undergrowth and
started to don the tattered garments
which were fastened ‘n a bundle to the
barrel of my musket--the musket that
Juggins had given to me, years and
years ago, it seemed, in London, and
which I had expectod never to see
again. But she halted me.
“No, no, Mr. Ormerod!” she ex-
claimed. “There is not time. You
must go on alone, the two of you.
They will expect you to strike into the
Doom Trail. 'Tis the quickest way ta
the settlements. Ga-ha-no bade me
tell you to go west instead, making
dagas river. So you may shake off the
pursuit of the Keepers.”
“But you?” I cried, standing up, bun-
ble and musket in hand.
“Tis my part to lead them into the
Doom Trail.”
Ta-wan-ne-ars joined with me in a
violent protest. But she waved us
aside.
“There is no other way.

Master Ormerod, and amongst other
things, to think the |ezss harshly of

“For that I am thankful,” I replied,
“but sure, you must let us take you
back to Fort Orange. Governor Bur:
net will care for you.”
“It cannot be,” she insisted. “My
place is here. Wickid as they be,
these men here—and he who {s called
my father is not the cieanest of them
—they work in a good tuxee. 'Tis for
me to stay by and see they do what is
