That meant Adrastela was awarc that she was Alleen Gray. It also meant that the sender linked Al- leen with the shooting of the man who was handing his hat and stick Y Nora Nolan. ‘His manner was perfect as 3 bowed and thanked her for I kindness in permitting him to come. “I flatter myself that Madem: selle may know something of m he said. “As it happens, my the —for the new form of cinema opens a week from tonight. Na- turally it is my desire to make this a gala occasion. Mademoiselle, of course, has the English?” He was almost apologetic as he put that question. It gave Al a start. How simply he might have trapped her—and might even do so yet, if she was not careful. “My theatre’s murals are from the brush of an artist friend of yours. Perhaps Mr. Channing has told you I tried to reach him by phone today, but seams is out of town.” If that was true, Aileen did not know it. She wondered whether this excuse for coming to her di- rectly was a deliberate falsehood. “I wanted to ask Mr. Channing whether he and his model would not be my guests that evening. You have seen the girl perhaps? Exquisite and charming!” Alleen only shrugged. “But to my mission,” he went on. “Hearing you sing this after- noon gave me a great inspiration. Mademoiselle is new to the radic —and my theatre to the public. What a wonderful combination if you would sing for me that night! A broadcast hook-up could be ranged, and it would result notices of advantage to us both. Of course, I should expect to pay— the customary fee.” That gave Aileen a loophole. “T am afraid my contract with Mr. Gluck would prevent my doing that. You see he has retained me as an exclusive feature.” »What a pity!” lamented Kron- berg. “And yet I cannot blame him. But perhaps you would con- sent to be my guest that evening also?” Aileen saw that he meant to insist on her presence if he could #May I tell you later?” she asked. “If my engagements permit. And now, will you excuse me—if I re- ceive my callers.” Aileen felt like shouting for joy as she heard the telephone. “Certainly,” said Kronberg.

The temperature of the fat is reduced and the dough- nuts become greasy. A similar situation occurs when coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi- cult to apply the heat evenly, and as a result some of the coffee berries may be overdone and some underdone. Such variation in the roast causes disappointing varia- tion in flavor. Hills Bros. evercame this by in- venting and patenting a process— Controlled Roasting—that roasts every coffee berry evenly.
