Anxiety replaced it. “I believe you, Sam,” he said gently, taking her hands, “Is there any way I can help?” “No, Freddy. Nobody can help.” He looked at her, sensing some- | thing of what she felt. “And you can't tell me what it is?” She shook her head wearily. “T will tomorrow, if still want to know.

Then she went back into the house. Fourth was still sitting on the davenport. His hands hung loose- ly between his knees and Sonny's letter lay on the floor. He looked up when she came into the room. “It seems to be true,” said Fourth dully. “It actually seems to be true.” “I'm afraid so.” Sam forced her- self to walk over to Fourth and pat him on the shoulder It was the girl, of course” Fourth continued as though talk- z to himself. “It was that—wom- You mean Martha?” “Yes.” He nodded. “She’s re- sponsible for all this.

Then, surprisingly, he kissed her. “Don't wait up for me, Joan, because I'll probably be late. If I have any news I'll wake you.” “All right,” she nodded. ‘“Drive carefully, Fourth.

Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting — Hills Bros.” patented process that roasts evenly, continuously . . . a little at a time. This continuous process has ad- vantages over ordinary roasting methods. It guarantees a perfect roast for every berry in the blend. Bulk-roasting doesn’t insure such a thing. Sometimes the coffee is roasted right. But frequently, it may be underdone or overdone, with an unpleasant flavor resulting. That can’t happen to Hills Bros. Coffee! Every pound is developed to perfection —to the fullest and finest flavor. It is a flavor no other coffee has, because no other is roasted the same way. Vacuum cans keep Hills Bros. Coffee ever-fresh.
