When they were about to move out of the shelter of the flower-hung pillars he took her suddenly in his arms. She did not resist, but yielded to him limp- ly. He felt no response in the slim little body and released her. He was conscious, though, that in that em- brace he had said much that he want- ed to say, and that she would under- stand. He was more content, then, to wait until the morrow. ‘The hcours passed, ga; colorful hours, that were speeded by a con- tinuous piling up of festival surprises. | No grand duke in the old days had guests with a more of sense enter- “The Gracious Gift of God” By H.

Taxicabs can’t choose their weather. They must be on the job—day or night—just as promptly when rain, snow and sleet are pouring down as when it’s fair weather. The great fleet of the Yellow Cab Co. of Baltimore had to have a fuel as trustworthy and reliable as the service it aims to give and succeeds in giving. That’s why AMOCO-GAS now fills every Yellow Cab tank—and has filled them for years past. Every Yellow Cab whirling through the streets of Baltimore is running on AMOCO- GAS. The Yellow Cab Co. knows. It has figured costs down to the last decimal. It has made every test. It knows it gets more mileage from AMOCO-GAS, knows that it gives greater power and a quicker get- away, knows that it does away with carbon and motor troubles. You want good service from your car just as much as the Yellow Cab Co. wants it from its fleet. You can be sure of it, too—with AMOCO-GAS.
