I switched on the light, and the shad- ows vanished into themselves, Feeling better, I glanced acress the room at the sheeted figure on the couch. Para- dos was dead in the flesh only; the evil he had done still lived. Putting out the light, I returned to the billiard room, wondering what I should do. It occurred to me then that some door or other lower window of the house might have been inadvertently left open. I would try all of them, Miss Jahries’ window excepted.

I had been speculating about, turned it right and left and completely emerged from the room. A light switch clicked, a door closed. Miss Jahries listened in- tently for a moment, then ran swiftly down the stair. “That’s not her room,” I muttered in perplexity. “I wonder whose it is. And I wonder what she was doing in it at this hour of the morning.” Footsteps on the stair became sudi- | ble a moment later—Miss Jahries' had been noiseless—and as I glanced around the door Celia and Annersley ascended | into view.

And small wonder, for the introdyction of Conoco Germ-Processed Motor Oil marked such an advance in lubricating laws that the whole oil world was set agog. Motor- ists like you and I, who have al- ways felt that motors wore out too soon, learned that the metal- penetrating features of this new oil meant many more useful miles for our car and a dollar saving that amounted to real money. The Pike’s Peak Tests proved that Germ-Processed lengthens motor life. The achievement at Indianapolis and Altoona, where Conoco Germ-Processed oil suc- cessfully lubricated racing mo- tors that finished “in the money” at speeds from 92 to 120 miles per hour, means that fast driving in summer heat of regular mo- tors can be done with confidence. That’s why Conoco Germ-Pro- cessed oil has excited so much comment and conversation. ‘That’s why you should change now to this first really new oil in 25 years.
