But the girl was past giving him fur­

sank to the steps, head falling back­

hallway streamed out Into the storm

A pair of skis stood against the wall
and, in a far corner, snowshoes. He
grabbed them up and leaped down the
steps, acarching for tracks In the new
snow.
Easy to find, these were, under the
street light He saw where a man
had crossed towards the railroad;
other tracks had followed and turned
back: those were Marie's. The trail
was distinct but already filling In

his ankles. He stood up, wriggled
his feet and started, bent low, moving
at a swift walk, eyes on those twin
depressions In the snow before
him. . . .
Straight north the man had gone,
through a strip of chopping across a
little lake and Into timber on the
other side. His skis had made deep
grooves In the suow-nmntled buck­

He went as quickly as he dared,
stooping now and then and with a
bare hand feeling the snow before him

A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder
car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She
refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon
of gas than any car we have made.
The use of 8-cylindera does not mean the addition of two or four
extra fuel consumers. It is not. for example, a 4-cylinder engine
multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an
ordinary 4—cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why?
By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get
engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the
gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going

Two things use up gas— bad engine design and useless car weight.
Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the
fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power

The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine i 3 in the building
of it. The extravagance is ours— the economy is yours.
The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical
car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their
part. If what vou save on gas vou lose elsewhere, that is not economy.
As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved
quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent.

As to price with quality.— judge for yourself.
As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of
shop in Oklahoma:
On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1.000 miles a day— the Ford
V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added
to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1.000 miles.
That should answer a lot of questions.
