Wevwkovai, ros ypsy Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON Rupert Joris has been jilfed by Elinor Fleming ben cause of his drinking. True to form, he gets himself still drunker, and when a lovely young stranger comes to the house to get legal ad- vice from him, he asks her to marry him. She doés—and now, in the cool light of Sunday morning he sees how silly he has been and ob- tains the girl's promise to grant an annulment in return for a $5,000 check. Dirk, Rupert's younger brother, is attracted to the girl and sympathetic. Her name is Hope— Chapter 13 A CHANGE OF MIND UPERT was shaving when Dirk came upstairs. “Isabel’s been here,” “Isabel and Natalie came to see the bride.” “So it’s out,” said Rupert. “Thoroughly.

He was glad of that. “Were you going out?” he asked. “Later,” she said. “I'll be back by four.” “I've been thinking about our con- versation,’ he remarked. “If you really desire to stay, I’ve no objec- tion.” “Even after the annulment?” “There will be no annulment,” he | replied, “if you wish to stay.” She sat down, weak, it seemed, with relief. He thought, as Dirk had thought before him, how small she looked beside the immense furniture. Her eyes had come back to him. “Why have you...” “1 changed my mind,” he said shortly. “About the check?” He was compelled to smile. “That was not my reason.” “But you won't give it to me if I stay?” She looked so crestfallen that he said, “I will.

Ne had meant | to tell Dirk how painlessly he had settled with the girl, but he said nothing. After a moment Dirk went out. his bath, dressed himself with care ntly he went into the short that separated him from the r-room, and knocked on the door. There was no re e. He tried the knob, wondering if she had gone out. The door was locked. For the first time within his memory, the bolt was drawn. He went into the hall and knocked more formally. Her voice asked who was there. “Rupert.” he said, after some re- d the door. irl, and Isabel went over to} yrics. | produced | Rupert heard his car in the] driveway.

Here is your proof: PROOF OF GREATEST -SKID SAFETY A leading university made 2,350 tire tests and found that the new scientifically designed Firestone High Speed tread stops a car up to THE MASTERPIECE | 25% quicker than other tires. PROOF OF GREATEST BLOWOUT PROTECTIO Every year, since Firestone developed the Gum-Dipped Balloon tire, Firestone Tires have been on the winning cars in the gruelling blowout test of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. PROOF OF GREATEST ECONOMY Firestone engineers designed the new Firestone High Speed Tire for 1936 to give you up to 50@ lonzer non-skid mileage. This is proved by our own test fleet recordsand the fact that the world’s largest transportation companies, such as Greyhound, to whom safety and | tire economy means business efficiency, use Firestome Tires.
