CAPITAL TRANSFER . - e T Hyde excused himself. The mo- ment he was gone MacNair stiffen- ed in his chair and listened at- tentively. Then, quick as a cat and bent double, he slid over to; Hyde’s shabby desk, leaned across it, and, to my amazement, upene(fl the top drawer. MacNair stared ! down into the drawer for a moment then he slipped quietly back to his chair, Before I could demand the rea- | son of this extraordinary conduct| Hyde reappeared with the sword. “A beautiful oit of workmanship, Mr. MacNair,” the dealer said smoothly. \ “Hmn!” MacNair responded dry- ly. “Not bad. How much?” Hyde's eagle eyes narrowed a trifle. “Ah, yes. The figure is just| $1,200.” MacNair laughed ironically. “If! you haven't sold it in, say, two| months from now, I'll give you| $500.” “My dear Mr. MacNair,” Hyde! protested, “I couldn't take a penny‘\ less than $1,200.” “Well, put it away and we'll talk| about it a couple of months hence. Do you know anything more nbouti this Peterson pistol?” | The old pirate shrugged. He | followed us to the door. We left him then. ! “A beautiful liar!” MacNair said barshly, as we crossed the street. “What was in the drawer?” | “If you had been watching him | closely as we entered the office, you would have seen him snap that | drawer shut. I concluded there| was something in it that he dldn‘t} want us to see, so I determined to find out what it was.” “Curious,” I remarked, “but when | 1 dropped in on Hyde- yesterday | afternoon he flipped a letter over| some object on his desk.

That's what thousands of Iovely women are doing—successfully. ‘Thedelicately toasted flavor of Luckies makes them a delightful alternative for fattening sweets. Toasting does it. Toasting removes the impurities and improves the flavor of the finest to- bacco. That’s why folks say: “It’s good to smoke Luckies.” Men who pride themselves on keep- ing fit discovered this long ago. They know that Luckies steady their nerves and do not impair their physical con- dition—many prominent athletes have testified to this fact. They discovered, too, that Luckies don’t irritate the throat—a fact subscribed to by 20,679 physicians. Lester D.
