I'll have to go slowly, and things may be a little strained financially for awhile, but—" “Oh Lon, I'm so happy. You know I don't care for money; for anything but for you, don't you?” “I do, Ian,” he answered softly. They stopped outside the lodge, looked at the shadows of bare limbs on the house, at tawny chrysanthe- mums which lined the path, then went in, closing the door gently on the new day.

WooipwARrRD R ITALIAN BICYCLISTS PERIL IN TRAFFIC Rules Demanded to Govern ““Gnats” When Motorists Complain. ROME (P).—Italy’s swarms of cy- clists, called “gnats” by automobile drivers, have been hauled up on the newspaper publicity carpet and re- buked for flirting with death. The newspaper Il Tevere adjures the “gnats” to refrain from capricious wheeling down the left-hand side of the road; counsels moderate, digni- fied speed, and demands that the cyclists develop an almost ambidex- trous ability to signal their starts, turns and stops. It includes a set of rules for park- ing, night riding and wheeling through fog. « The Christmas SIOre .edkfe. | TOMORROW AND SATURDAY—Miss Reinita Gardner of the McCall PATTERNS, SECOND FLOOR. i Pattern Company is here to help you solve, your sewing problems. | Cottons—Specially Priced Cotton and Celanese Crepenese —in attractive plaids, checks, prints, and tweedy mixtures on light or dark grounds. 36 inches wide.

I remembered that on our way into Reno that day you had talked about your roommate Anne and her fiance, a Dr. Steele. I figured these were the same people. “I told them about our interrupted Interview, said I wanted to help you and didn't know how, and Dr. Steele told me the facts that Mr. Casad had confided to him.” “That's where you went that night,’ Merian said, turning to him. es, I wanted to talk to some one T could trust, who wouldn't be preju- diced one way or the other.” “After what they told me,” Hamlin continued, “I figured I'd better check | IF —you have been looking at Winter coats but delayed buying because of price, tomorrow brings you this no- table opportunity to save. out and start for Honolulu to see Mr. | Hondon personally. bay and the next morning I chanced to read in the morning paper a list of passengers on the boat due in, and found Hondon's name there, so I went down to meet him.” “But how did you happen to be coming to the States?” Marian asked Hondon. “I came because the district attor- ney cabled me to.” “Well,” the district attorney took up the tale, “in the meantime I had had my office check up on the two men with whom your husband had been out the night the check was cashed.
