Sam watched him calmly. “Fourth doesnt know anything about this,” she said quietly, “and you haven't heard me hint that T thought you ought to be ashamed of yourself, have you?” He laughed sharply. “You may not have hinted it, but I know | what you think. Underneath, you and Fourth have about the same ideas; fool ideas about class and caste and all that rot.

I think T'll sleep with them under my pillow to be sure of having happy dreams.” Sam may have had happy dreams \but her awakening next morning was not happy, even with the thought of Fourth’s contribution to the family welfare lying snugly in a handkerchief case in her top bureau drawer. The inevitable re- action to her exhilaration of the |day before had set in, and the future presented itself as an end- less series of blank, meaningless, lonely hours. She dully went through with the business of getting herself dressed and of eating breakfast. She no- ticed that Nelson seemed nervous and depressed, and that Martha’s eyes showed signs of recent tears. Martha had undoubtedly been told of Sam's discovery, and was ter- ribly frightened as & consequence. lSam felt that it did pot matter; 4 PRETENDER TO THRONEPASSES AWAY IN PARIS Don Jaime Stricken with Heart Trouble After Auto Ride PARIS, Oct. 3—Don Jaime, of | Bourbon, Carlist Pretender to the Spanish throne, died today in his apartment after stricken with heart trouble while automobiling.

She wondered if Freddy had al- ready left for ‘Chicago, or St. Louis or was it Kansas City. ‘When she returned to the stable after the routine business of mar- keting in the village there was a yellow car standing at the front door. Sam’s heart almost stopped beating when she saw it, for the car was a distinctive shade of yel- low. She knew at once that it was a taxi; a city taxi, startlingly and almost absurdly out of its ele- ment. Sam shut off the motor with a hand that trembled, and ran swiftly across the drive to the front door. (Copyright, Freeman Lincoln) Sam decides Monday whether Assoctated Maj. Gen.

Drive a FORD and learn the hidden value of its more than twenty ball and rolter bearings THE extensive usc of ball and roller bearings in the Ford is an example of value far above the price. The Ford has more than twenty. By allowing moving parts to run smoothly and freely, they reduce friction and wear. To you, as a car-owner, this means smooth, quiet operation, more speed and power, increased gasoline mileage, greater durability and longer life. Steering is made easier and safer in the new Ford because of the roller bearings in the front wheels, at the spindle bolis and in the steering mechanism. There are ball bearings on the clutch, ball and roller bearings in the transmission, a rolier bearing at the universal joint. The ball bearing on the generator armature gives greater reliability to tlnt Impoflut part of the electrical system. The value of the large number of ball and reller bearings in the Ford is especially apparent after the first year. By reducing lhyahoredmlhnmtofup-hepmmmof mmtm Come in and drive a Ford TODAY.
