Having commandeered the car from the door of the Cavairy club, he had immediately, by a mental process which many perils had perfected, dis missed the question of rightful own: ership from his mind. Jamming his hat tightly upon his head, he settled down at the wheel, drawing up rather closer to the lim- ousine as the chase Jay thru crowded thorofares and keéping his quarry comfortably in sight across Westmin- ster bridge and thru the outskirts of London. Presently at a fork in the road he saw that the driver of the limousine had swung to the left, taking the low road, that to the right offering a steep gradient. The high road was $\the direct road to Lower Claybury, the low road a detour to the samo, Nicol Brinn mentally reviewed the intervening countryside, and taking a gambler’s chance, took the road up the bill.

At its highest point, the road, skirting a hilltop, offered an extensive view of the valley below. Here Nicol Brinn pulled up and, descending, watched and listened. In the stillness he could plainty hear the other automobile humming steadily along the lowland road be- low. He concentrated his mind upon the Iatter part of that strange jour. ney, striving to recall any details which had marked it immediately preceding the time when he had de. tected the rustling of leaves and knew that they had entered a car- riage drjve, Yes, there had been a short but steep hill; and immediately before this the car had passed over a deeply make sure that she was alone, And | ning dress.

Hence the phrase “Fresh from Pa- cific Coast Ovens,” to be used in the 1924 advertising, has a distinct sig- nificance, It means that the bakers of Snow Flakes are close enough to all of their thousands of customers throughout the West to insure abso- lute freshness in their products when they are purchased. Quality at the source—maintained clear through to the consumer's table—has made Snow Flakes the household word of the West. 6,8 CONVEYOR FTTEASPRODUCT Seattle, Feb. 1.— Typical of the excellence of methods employed by the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company is & conveyor system recently installed in the Seattle branch. This conveyor absolutely does away with touching cookies by hand. Consisting of a large conveyor belt which carries the various products over the four different machines, this system is of real interest to hundreds of visitors at the plant. One of the four machines covers the cookies with cocoanut and blows off with purified air the excess quantities. From this the product is conveyed under an- other hopper which drops peanuts or walnuts on the cookies, Then the belt makes # complete turn and goes to another part of the plant, conveying the cookies under the chocolate machine, which coats them with chocolate. Irom this they are conveyed through a cooling tun- nel and directly into the packing de- pertnety Only seven minutes elapse ‘rom the time the cookies are put under the conveyor to the time they are packed and labeled.
