In coiniilillul of this adventurous oNpeilitl iii was a young limn who took with him his wife anil Infant daughter. Ills name was K. .7, Itnhlwln and he made a wise choice In shakinir from his restless feet the dost of a lamer civilization. He needed a larger theater of action for his pent-up and surging activities. While trailing thromth the inountahm of t'lali the pioneers were attacked by Indians, who wore beaten olY during a six hour tlirht In which young Haldwln killed their chief. After six months of hard ship the party reached llanirtown (later called riaeervllle), In ( allfornln. Here Haldwln tarried and licgnii plaeer mlliliiK. He appears to have been no more than an ordinary red shirted argonaut, meeting the ups and downs of mining luck until the dis covery of the Comstock lisle at Virgin ia City. Thither lie drifted and discov ered that Ids natural bent was itain- hlliiK with the mines that other men had opened. Amid a whirlwind of speculation he fought Ids way with such success that he loomed from tho smoke In a few mouths as "Lucky” Baldwin, the man who had cleaned up $7,500,000 In the gigantic deals In the Ktis'k of (lie (Iplllr mines. ^ Han Frunclseo was the Mecca of those lucky sons of fortune who were rearing a great city by the Holden (•ate.

In a very lucid Interval lie bought nil the Hpanlsh grants he could find near l.os Angeles and there spent a million In making this ranch of Ids not only a splendidly productive property, hut al so one of the most beautiful estates ever laid out III tills or any other eouu- try. It was Ids hobby, Ids pet, and lie plaihed tulle* of avenues with noble shade trees and made wonderful trop ical gardens, surrounding Ills home by n paradise of vernal beauty.- Ralph 1).

"I had speech ,\csler'ell at lieptford,’ said Mr. I’epys, 'with the captain of the licfrynnee, wlm liaili lately returned from the Indies and who told me the two most wouderful things that over, 1 think, I did hear in my life.'

"Old Rowley glanced narrowly at tbe colonel's frank, weather beaten face. Then, \x 11li a laugh, lie turned to the secretary. “'Mr. l'epys,' said lie, 'from the very nature of their calling no class of our subjects can have so wide a knowledge of sens and lands as the otllcers and men of our loyal maritime regiment.

The Studebakers are the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world; they get first pick of materials; have unusual facilities; their more than fifty years experi ence has shown them how to build the best vehicle on earth. These reasons have put Studebaker Vehicles and Harness in the front rank. Exceptional materials, exceptional facilities, exceptional experi ence, exceptional skill, produce exceptional goods. You don’t buy a wagon or car riage or a set of harness very often. Why not be sure you arc getting the best? The more you investigate the Studebaker turn, the more you will be satisfied as to its superioritv. It’s the kind of bargain which the longer — you have it the better you like it. Come in and see.
