finding himself deserted, sat down in
his swivel chair and laughed quietly
to himself.
There was the slightest possible
shade of annoyance on the girls face
as the sailor walked beside her from
the door of the managers room,
through the public portion of the bank
to the exit, and the young man, notic-
ing this, became momentarily tongue
tied, but nevertheless persisted with a
certain awkward doggedness which
was not going to allow so slight Il
hint that his further attendance was
unnecessary to battle him. he did not
speak until they had passed down the
stone steps to the pavement, and then
his utterance began with a half en-
barrassed stammer, as if the shadow
of ~displeasure demanded justification
on his part.

"Why?" asked the lieutenant in a
quiet voice.
Because I say so, for one thing.n

The cashier regarded this as a blur
and an attempt to give the woman 70

the tale was greatly improved. Origi-

icate that even the famous Damascus
sword blaGes cannot equal them in

the grain OF a Swedish razor Is so SEN
sitive that its general direction Is
changed aft r short service. When
you buy Il fine razor the grains run
from thH un9'r end OF the outer point
In a diagJna direction toward the han
die. Constant strOpping will twist the
steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use
will drag the grain outward from the
edge, so that after steady use for sew
eral months The ib r OF the steel occu-
pies a position exact V the reverse Of
that which it did on the day Of pur-
chase. The process a'So affects the

grain sets from the lower outer points
