aloof. with his back toward me, gazing
out of the window, and of that was
glad. since he screened that flaming
sunbeam from me. and concerned
myself no more about him.
But at Catherine | gazed and mo-
toned to her to bend over me, and
whispered, that the jailer might not
hear, what had become of Mary. Then
saw the jailer had gone out. though
had not seen him go. and she. maxi
ing a sign to me that the gentleman at
the window was not to be minded,
went on to tell me what thirsted to
know-that she and Mary and Sir
Humphrey had escaped that night with
ease. and she and Mary had returned
to Drake Hill before midnight and had
not been molested.
If Mary were suspected she knew
not, but Sir Humphrey was then under
arrest and was confined on board a
ship in the harbor with Major Bever-
ly, and his mother was daily sending
billets to him to return home and
blaming him, and not his jailers, for
his disobedience. She told me, fur
thermore, that it was Cicely Hyde who
had led the militia to- our assembly at
Laurel Greek that night and was now
in a low fever through remorse, and,

she was at no loss to interpret, tears

The

The "Wanamaker Special $500
Shoe for Men has been famous for

our claim of fve-dollar quality for
$500, for men. Our success in this
achievement started us in trying to
accomplish the same splendid result

facturer.
Briefly, we went about it this way

was to serve as standard, we called

try over and told them TO go ahead
and copy it.

of their remarks; then their sample
shoes would come to us and prove
dismal failures.
Now this was taking time-and
money-and a tremendous lot of eff

One day certain well-thought of,
but by no means large, manu-
facturer happened in on us. We

that he try his hand.
