CHAPTER Vil, (Continued,) JOR the first time now Kitty looked about her, scarce hav- ing realized how long thelr journey had been. So great had been their speed that by this time they had cleared the city walls of Gretzhoffen, passed the tilled farmlands of the villages and swung out into a wide, sandy plain which lay before them uninhabited, sweltering; under the ardent rays of a downright sun. It was what was known locally as the desert—a neutral ground, not tilled and incapable of successful til-; lage, which lay between the two king- doms of Gretzhoffen on the east and DISTRESSING SKIN TROUBLE HEALED Qn Arm and Hand.

It had in fact been the purpose of Frederick to cross the line between the two kingdoms, a journey of no great length, tances are estimated in our own coun-! is. try. Whether it was the heat of the sun! which had expanded the air in the| motor tires, or whether there was! me sharp stone under the wheel, there was no time to determine; yet suddenly, with the usual riflelike re- port, there was an explosion of the tire. The car was practically help- loss. Kitty looked fearfully, but from thi open window she heard in the dis- tance the chug of another motor, driven rapidly, thrown wide open and coming forward at great epeed. Her eyes kindled as she caught the mean- ing of this, she waved her hand, en- deavoring to attract attention. Her gesture did not escape the man at her side, who uttered an exclamation as he turned and saw the rapid ap- proach of the pursuing car. “Quick! Grahame,” he demanded, “This is your work, She hae it on her person. You must—yes, you must take it at once.” Without hesitation, his long jaws shut, his small, cold eyes Caton ag Grahame advanced in hie task of robbery from the person—robbery up- on the highway—and robbery from « woman. As he laid hand upon her, all the hot indignation of Kitty's soul famed up. She ‘battled as best she might, and so successfully that for a long time she defeated the man in his purpose of snatching at the string which he saw suspended about her neck. His euspicions were well founded, for once more Kitty had concealed her portion of the coin in a little bag which she carried thus, Baffled, and knowing that he had vehgth ruined’ a” dastardly hame at le a hand and struck the girl in the face. Ghe fell, stunned at his feet, te “You ruffian, what have you done! exclaimed his master, as with a thin smile Grahame held up the bag. But Count Frederick ripped it open, took from It what he saw and thrust it into his pocket. Even as this hap- pened, the pursuing car was closing in upon them. It was Roleau who sprang from the seat and hastened forward, revolver in hand. 6 did 80 a weapon cracked from the car of Count Frederick, and Roleau, stumb- fell forward and lay stil ‘ome, Grahame—quick.” An in- atant later they had taken possession of the motor impressed by Roleau and, intimidating the driver as Rol- eau had been doing in turn, they forced him to turn about and head toward the city. “You ruffian!” said Count Frederick once more. “You struck a woman.” How long she remained senseless she herself scarce knew, but when Kitty stirred, raised her head, she saw lying close beside her the figure of the man who had sought to be- friend her as once she had befriended him—Roleau, the mysterious messen- ger of a master who had apparently no mercy in his soul. Kitty suddenly raised her hand to’ her neck. The cord was gone. The WINNT Hf ot TD OPENS AN ACCOUNT VREDIT TERMS 83, Pew 850)/68, Down $199 Down $75 | 842, Down $150 a Open Saturday Evenin; 104 ST.

They had left her barely Iife—and had been ecare- less even as to that. A bitter sense of failure and desolation settled upon the poor girl's heart. She gazed out over the sandy plain. The wavipg lines of heat arose flick- ering, as she had seen them in the desert of her own country. The giant figures of the mirage, the Fata Mor- gana, as the Spanish call ft, rose stalking along the horizon, now large, now small, but seemingly advancing. Kitty paid small attention to them, for knowing the deceits of the desert she resolved that there figures shoul not mock her—they were not human beings. But when after a time she ceased in a useless effort to lug the heavy body of Roleau into the shelter of the car ehe turned once more to gaze about her. She paused, her gaze ar- rested. Yes, a Httle caravan, appar- ently from some far-off land, and journeying hither frankly enough across the neutral ground between these two little kingdoms. And the leader of these folk, whoever he might be, had caught sight of these strange travellers and was heading that way.

These stated that all purchasers at the store on a spec- ified day would receive a check for fifty cents payable at the bank as a starter for a savings account.’ It was provided, however, that four dollars and @ half additional must be depos- ited, making the total initial balance five dollars. It wi further stipu- lated that the account must remain for at least one year, otherwise fifty-cent check would be cancelled. This inexpensive little campaign re- sulted in the addition of nearly four hundred new accounts to the bank's books in a week, or as much as would ordinarily accrue in a couple of months. And as it fostered the sav- ing habit on the part of the new de- positors, the bank felt that its efforts, being mutually beneficial, were well worth while. The Final Scientific Touch in a Malling Campaign. “Now, then, we're all set for this campaign,” remarked a manufacturer who did a large mail order business, as he finished rereading the con- tents of an envelope which lay upon is desk. “Here's the letter, the book- obtaining work up to the closing climax accord- ing to the plan adopted by our sales manager after exhaustive tests.” “Yes, that’s true.

And thereafter this plan waa fol- lowed in all the concern’s mailing campaigns.
