She started violently. Her cheek
went red and white and her eyes
widened as her thoughts went back to
the naive prophecy in the treasure
chamber.
She followed him slowly to the ter
race. He stopped in the doorway and
leisurely drew forth his cigarette case.
"Shall we wait for the explosion :"
he asked without a sign of the emotion
that had gone before. She gravely
selected a cigarette from the case
which he extended. AS he lighted his
own he watched her draw from her
little gold bag a diamond studded case
half filled. Without a word of apol-
ogy she calmly deposited the cigarette
i. the case and restored 1t to the bot

INSURED ?

Everybody asks this question after a fire.
The next question, which is just as impor-
tant, "What Company?" nobody asks.
The property owners of America pay an
nuaIIy three hundred million dollars In pre-
miums for fire Insurance., but not one In ten
of them knows even the NAME OF the com
pany who's policy may be his only asset In
case of disaster. DO you know? II not, what
an astonishing state OF affairs for an enlight-
ened businesslike American citizen.
If you know the name OF the company,
what do you know of its standing or its rep
utation for fair dealing? The HARTFORD
