A sign warns drivers not to exceed 10 miles an hour over thla bridge, which la a mile long. Richard accordingly aent the Thomaa along at a very leis urely pace and waa surprised when he reached the other side to see the gate dropped in front of him. Young man you are under arrest for speeding across 1 this bridge," said a deputy sheriff, stepping up to tha side of the car. Richard saw that he waa tn for It, even If he had not gone above II mllea hour. He explained that It would do no goo 1 to "arrest him, as he had no money. "I have only about a dollar and can't even borrow a penny until I get to Philadelphia," he aald. "But go ahead and find aoma place for me to atore the car and a hotel where I can stay and I'll aend to the factory for aoma." "How long will It take?" the deputy asked. "A week at leaat," Richard aaaured him. Thla was something entirely unex pected. The deputy and the bridge tender went Into Immediate conclave. Result: They found It would cost more to keep Richard and the car than the fine would amount to and a few minutes later he was on hla way to Philadelphia, unmulcted. Just Suppostn'. .

It is a most significant fact that the Single Cylinder Cadillac is the only automobile in America, If not in the world, which can truly be accredited with having successfully withstood the test of five successive Beasons, wKch has been made in continually increasing quantities each succeeding year, and which giveSv promise of continuing to be made for many years to come. There has, during the past year, been a wonderful awakening to the fact, which is now generally conceded, that in moderate priced cars, the single cylinder is the only type that has truly "made good" in every sense of the word, and the position of the Cadillac in that class is so preeminent that it is not even a subject for argument. .v These little cars are so thoroughly good and are so fully tried out that we are justifiedin "guaranteeing them free of repairs" for one year. There are 18,000 single cylinder Cadillacs "making good" throughout tha world, and we fully expect the new 20 horse-power 4-cylinder light touring car to equal the wohderful record of the famous single cylinder.
