From the veranda rail Penning
ton watched the great sheets of
white mist rolling from the padi
lands at dawn. A chill current of
air, blowing from nowhere in par
ticular, fanned his forehead and he
glanced back over his shoulder to
see Hyde, in faded pajamas, beam
ing cordially at him.
“Morning.” said Pennington. “I
was just admiring your landscape.
The amazing thing about this life,
Hyde, is that one never finishes
discovering new things.”
“Such as—?”
“Such as those islands, for ex
ample. I never remember seeing
them before.”
The planter joined him.
“It’s a gray world—before the
sun is un,” mused the younger
man. “What d’you call that is
land?”
“Which one?”
Hdye smiled.
“Strictly speaking, it has no

name; but, for want of something
better to do, I’ve dubbed it “Island
N.”
“Any particular reason?”
“There were once three tall trees
on a hillock, that stood out from
all the rest. During a cyclone, one
of them fell across the two others
—and it’s stopped there ever since.
It looks as much like an ‘N’ aa any
thing else.”
“Ever been there?”
“Can’t say that I have. There
used to be a colony of natives.
You can still see what remains of
their houses. But they cleared, out
in a panic after the storm—and
I’ve heard since that it’s a supposed
locally to be haunted.”
Pennington drew himself erect
and inhaled a deep breath.
“I can see those trees,” jerked
out Pennington suddenly shading
his eves. “I’ve a feeling in my bones
I’d like to run over there one of
these days.”
“There’s nothing to stop you.
Only you’d have to paddle yourself
across—or swim it. I doubt very
much if you’d succeed in bribing
anyone in the locality to take you
there.”
The boy apneared suddenly with
tea and green bananas, and the con
versation turned unon other sub
jects. Presently Pennington was
somewhat surprised to see the fig
ure of a girl on a short, sturdy
pony wheel into view on the broad
nath that wound between the trees.
She cantered nn to the bungalow,
dismounted and slung the reins over
a nost. She came up the stens. a
trim vouthful figure, her eves
spa^klinp l as they fell unon Hyde.
“Morning, dad!”—and then she
saw Penningtton .
Both men rose to their feet.
“This is mv daughter.” said the
Planter bv wav of introduction.
“Dora, I don’t think you’ve met Mr.
Pennington.”
The girl dropped into a cane
chair.
“I’ve been ever so far. I left
Jeck in the lines and rode through
the native village right into the
jungle. J love the dawn, don’t you,
Mr. Pennington?”
“Dora married young Bateson—
my second assistant,” explained the
planter.
“Are you a planter?” The girl
surveyed Pennington curiously.
He shook his head.
‘‘l’ve never planted anything in
my life,” he said. “As a matter of
fact, I’m criminally overpaid by a
much trusting Government to look
after the interests of pretty women
who go out riding, alone, before
dawn.”
Mrs. Bateson flushed.
“Are you laughing at me, Mr.
Pennington?”
“On the contrary. I was never
more serious in my life.”
Pennington rolled his own cigar
ets. He did so now and the girl, ly T
ing back in her chair, watched him
in mute fascination. He glanced
up presently and passed her an
open tin that stood on the table
near his arm.
The corners of Dora Bateson’s
pretty mouth dropped.
Is this asort of special conses
sion, Mr. Pennington?” she de
manded, bending forward toward
the match he held out.

BERRY SCHOOL ENLARGES
MOUNT BERRY, Aug. 18.—
Miss Martha Berry, founder and
director of the Berry Schools,
and Principal G. Leland Greene of
the schools have received dauly;
during the past week an average
of 76 letters from boys and girls in
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
the Carolins requesting that they
be admitted to the schools.
Berry Schools has had to limit its
enrollment to 600 for this term
which begins August 28 and that
quota has already been reached.
So many of the letters have such
strong appeals that the school au
thorities are considering provisions
for enlarging the quota.
Nearly 100 work students have
been accepted from the aplicants
who wanted to work for their tui
tion. t

Os forty manufacturers of quality cars the two
cars leading in sales are priced at $2885 and $2685; the Paige
at $2450. What difference is’there to justify the extra price?
Check Paige points against these competitors and you will
realize that never before has $2450 bought such a car.
131-Inch Wheelbase
5-Foot Springs
Paige has a wheelbase of 131 inches
providing roomy comfort and
roadability. Riding ease rarely
equaled is assured by rear springs
more than 5 feet long. Check against
costlier cars! Paige leads in comfort.
More Power for Weight
Mark Paige piston displacement
—■compare it with others. Here is
reserve power for all needs. Paige
weight is 3850 pounds, yet the ra
tio to piston displacement is only
11.4 pounds per cubic inch. This
low ratio is why Paige out-per
forms its competitors—climbshills
easier and at lower speed—gets
away faster. Compare it in the
chart —nearly two pounds less per
cubic inch—ls% more ability!
Easy Handling
With a driving range of 2 to 70
miles an hour in high there is small
need of gear shifting, though it’s
done without clash or missing.
Steering is easy for the frailest hand.
You wouldn't compare a car with
three wheels to a car with four
wheels, in relation to their prices.
So Paige must be compared as to

What Is Equipment?
Note the twelve items of equip
ment in the chart above— all
things which you would eventu
ally buy for any car. Paige has them
all! One competitor has only three
of them—and the other five—
least costly items. Calculate the
cost of this equipment,and see how
much more you get in the Paige.
Why Paige Can Be Sold
at 02450
Tremendous volume on our
smaller car —the Paige-built Jewett
—reduces overhead on Paige cars
to a negligible amount This saving
makes the Paige price possible.
With the Jewett Paige builds
twice as many cars as either com
petitor shown on the chart. Under
any other conditions Paige with
its present high standards could
not be sold for less than S3OOO.
To fully appreciate Paige see
the car—drive it. Call or telephone
for a demonstration at your con
venience. If desired payment
terms may be arranged.
