He now swept the lines with another glance, his face glowing. “Dear Harold,” the letter read, “we shall be there one day carlier than ar- ranged. The Senator will not speak at Malters, and that saves us stopping over: but he has arranged to address the business men at Ronceford, a hun- dred miles farther on, so the time with you will be the same, only a day earlier. From the train schedule I think it will be about 15 minutes. Have the minister and everything ready. It seems a reckless, hit-or-miss kind of marriage, doesn't it, Harold? But then uncle is so anxious to see it; and he’s got to be at Ronceford, and must take the steamer for Europe only a few hours later, to be gone a year. So it's Hobson's choice. But never mind. We'll make it up on our wedding trip, and miss every train if we llke—or why not make the trip with your span, and’stop eVerywhere and®nowhere ‘in particular.

Ten minutes passed and with them three of the remaining miles, Leighton was now but nine miles ahéad; and the State line, beyond which Cunning- ham’s authority as sheriff would for a time be null, was five. Once across the line and-he could snap his fingers at the pursuer. He glanced back. The automobile had covered onz-half the remaining distance and was com ing on swiftly and #mogthly. | horses were breathing hard. Anolher three miles, with no change and the race would be ended. Involuntarily- Barstow ‘leaned for- ward, as he often did in momenis of suspense on the race track, when a hand’s turn meant win or lose: Then his face blanched. A cow was walkinz doliberately from ths roadside growth and along here the road was narrow. Barstow rose tovhis feet and reached forward as fast as he could, his whip in the air. A spill and smach was better than missing a ance. As they swept. upon the o and the whip 1l threw up her head, lhflx(b/ caving it from rushing wheels that 'just g.aced the skin. .

Does the caffein in coffee make you wakeful at night? Does it make you nervous or affect your heart? Are you one of the hundreds of thousands who are drinking coffee substitutes, tolerating them for Tack of something better, but still craving the unique satisfying flavor and aroma of rezl coffee? If you are, this announcement will be one of the most welcome you have ever read. It is the story of a new brand of coffee . . . a coffee that is surpassingly delicious in aroma and flavor . . . a coffee that contains everything you crave in coffee . . . yet coffee that you can drink without the slightest danger of caffein’s disagreeable after-effects. This new brand of coffee is called Sanka Coffec. It takes its name from its distinguishing feature. It is caffeinfres. The French say, “sans caffein,” and Sanka is a'word coined from the French translation. Sanka is 97 per cent free from caffein, which makes it abeolutely safe for anyone to drink—man, woman, or child. If your doctor has ordered you to give up coffee, you can sefely drink Sank . with the assurance that he will.approve. More than 50,000 physicians have already endorsed Sanka, and every day we are receiving from scores of others the most enthusiastic letters of approval. How Sanka Coffec is made and de-caffeinized Sanka Ccffee is a blend of the finest coffecs from Central and South America. It is grown in high altitudes, which insures the finest quality. With it is mixed just the right amount of rich, plump Mocha and Java to give the whole a delicate bouquet. Before it is roasted, Sanka is washed with scrupulous care, so that any dust or dirt accumulated in gather- ing and in shipment is removed. After this it goes through special dryers, which dry the coffee beans by steam. It is now ready for the de-caffeinizing process. Without touching human hands or even being seen by the human eye, the Sanka Coffee beans go through a battery of steel drums, the walls of which are’ coveral inches thick. This is a special pressure process, which ob- viously we can mention in oply a general way, as the process is a patented one. Clear, clean, purified coffee Sanka Coffee comes out of this process 97 per cent free from caffein and highly purified by the A extraction of certain waxes and extraneous matter that have nothing to do with the coffee’s aroma or flavor. When you make a pot of Sanka Coffee you instantly sense this purity in its clear, amber transparency. As soon as your lips touch it you experience a new and delightful sensation in coffee drinking — a delicious cleanness and smoothness that is indescribably appetizing. After de-caffeinizing, Sanka is roasted just like other coffees, and again there is evidence that de-caf- feinizing in no way removes anything desirable from Sanka. During the roasting process your nostrils are greeted by the same spicy, fragrant aroma that makes coffee one of the world’s most popular beverages. Sanka is now ready for grindihg and packing. Much of it is packed in the bean—for like any other coffee, Sanka is fresher and makes more delicious coffee if ground in the home just before making. Both the ground and bean Sanka are sealed in air- tight, paraffin-covered packages, which are packed in handy, tubular-shaped tins—the form in which you can buy Sanka at your grocery or delicatessen store. ¢ o AL COFFEE cORP SO EW Sl by ARTHUY 4 SUNOLUN reasure DIAMONDS AND Other Precious Stones \embers ot Amaterdam Niamond Erchangs off .oflahnc/ne. Chirty-flve Tears as 935 F Street PLATINUMSMITAS JEWELERS Three types of people are drinking Sanka, and each for a different reason 1. There are those who cannot drink coffee at ally or only occasionally, because it keeps them awake oe makes them nervous. Sanka enjoys wide popularity among these people. 2. There are those who are careful about their general health, those who realize that caffein is not doing them any good. They drink Sanka in order to be on the safe side. 3. There are those who are particular about the flavor and aroma of their coffee—the so-called cranks about coffee. They drink Sanka because it is one of the finest coffees they can buy. Then there is . . . the Hostess. The enterprising hostess finds Sanka the best coffee to serve at her dinners and entertainments, especially those given at night. Sanka saves her and her guests those eme barrassing moments when guests decline coffee or make a pretense of drinking it. Everybody can drink Sanka and among smart hostesses it is now the pracs tice to let guests know that Sanka is being served. Try Sanka today—test it at our expense We want you to put Sanka to the test.
