The SIMPLEX
SEPARATOR
1910 MODEL

This New Model or Improved "SIM-
pick" is the result of thirty years con-
tinuous experience with Cream Sep
arators of leading makes, and eight
years experience in manufacturing
"SIMPLEX" LINK-BLADE Separat-
ors. The "LINK- BLADE" Device and
the general bowl Construction, also
the original SIMPLEX" simplicity,
or in other words, minimum of work
ing parts, has been retained; otherwise
the new model has been completely
redesigned from base TO supply can.
The most striking feature of the New
'sSIMPLEX" is it's light running. To
obtain this a higher grade and type of
bearing than has ever been used before

revolver, and a fear that the two mo-
ments might be synchronous kept me
uneasy. He produced and dilated on
the scrap of pillow slip from the
wreck, and showed me the stiletto,
with it's point in cotton batting for
safekeeping. And in the intervals
he implored Richey not to make such
fine calculations at the corners.

seemed melodramatic to the verge
of farce. In the doorway Hotchkiss
was half dozen feet ahead; Richey

We crowded out of the elevator at
the fourth floor, and found ourselves
in a rather theatrical hallway of dra-
peries and armor. 1t was very quiet;
we stood uncertainty after the car
had gone, and looked at the two
or three doors in sight. They were
heavy, covered with metal, and sound

CHAPTER xxx.
In the Dining Room.

That was Saturday night, two weeks
after the wreck The previous five
DAYS had been full of swift-following
events-the woman in the house next
door, the picture in the theater OF a
man about to leap from the doomed
train, the dinner at the Dallaes, and
Richey's discovery that Alison was
the girl in the case. In quick success
sion had come our visit to the Carter
place, the finding of the rest of the
telegram, my seeing Alison there, and
the strange interview with Mrs. Con-
way. The Cresson trip stood out in
my memory for it's serio-comic horrors
and its one real thrill. Then-the dis
covery by the police OF the sealskin
bag and the bit of chain; Hotchkiss
producing triumphartly Stuart for Sui
livan and his subsequent discontinue;
Mcknight at the station with Alison,
and later the confession that he wFs
out of the running.
And yet, when I thought it all over,
the entire week and it's events were
two sides Of a triangle that was mar
rowing rapidly to an apex, point.
And the said apex was at that mo-
ment in the drive below my window
resting his long legs by sitting on
carriage block, and smoking a pipe
that made the night hideous. The
sense of the ridiculous is very close
to the sense Of tragedy. 1 opened my
screen and whistled, and Johnson
looked up and grinned. We said moth
ing. l held up handful Of cigars, he
extended his hat, and when l finally
went to sleep, it was to a soothing
breeze that waited in salt air and a
faint aroma of good tobacco. l was
thoroughly tired, but l slept restless
ly, dreaming of two detectives with
Pittsburg warrants being held up by
Hotchkiss at the point. of a splint,
while Alison fastened their hands with
chain that was broken and much
too short I was reused about dawn
by a light rap at the door, and, open
ing it, l found Forbes, in a pair Oh
trousers and a pajama coat. He was
as pleasant as most fleshy people are
when they have to get up at night,
and he said the telephone had been
ringing for an hour. and he d1dn I
know why somebody else in the blank
ety-blank house couldn't have heard
it. He wouldn't get to sleep until
noon.
AS he was palpabiy asleep on MS
feet, / left him grumbling and went
to the telephone. 1t proved to be

in Cream Separators, had to be usedy
bearings exactly the same as are used
in the highest class Of automobiles,
the most accurate, the lightest run
ming and the most durable ball bear
ings known. The vast sum spent in
advertising other machines has been
put into the construction of the "SIM
PLEX," producing a new and higher
and more expensive type than has
ever been attempted either here or
abroad. Cream Separator advertising
and catalogues are so full of broad
and exaggerated claims, mostly in
capable of substantiation by test, that
we prefer to base our arguments on
what the 'sSIMPLEX'' actually does in
tests, and we are ready TO demon
strate the entire superiority OF the
"SIMPLEX" against any and all makes
of machines. The SIMPLEX" can be
