Tliu wonderful nliowlug of tlio Cudllluo In averaging sixty and a third mllci

plucd my Hinull purt, but without a nubtu car hucIi as I hnd, my driving would
not have amounted to much, s
1 wiih not HiirprlHcd at the Hhowlng of tlio car. 1 knew It had tlio stuff, and
iih we battled on through the night
1 felt In tlio be Ht of condition at the end I am mue Adair did, TIiIh was
partly duo to the perfect performance of the car which relieved us of worry.
The Don I.ee force ulno gave iih great nsKUtniire. We had a tout whero wo could
