points. At the report Of the conversa-

one of the rooms just across the hall,
but, though Bessie was a trump, he
did not 60 to look for her. The girl
might come back at any moment-and
he did not wish to miss one instant
of her presence.
Again he considered the miracle Of
her appearance in his life, and he re-
joiced that, from the first, he had been
able to be of service to her Those
loving, trusting words that she had
Just spoken-how they glowed in his
heart! She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy of his love had
sent her messages of confidence.
And yet he did not even know her
name. The house was just such a one

When it comes to buying a family
touring car, the great points to consider
are Comfort, Reliability and Power.
Some cars are comfortable, but haven't
power enough; other cars are both pow
erful and comfortable, but are not Re-
liable. The Regal $50" combines Com
fort, Reliability and Power; that's why
it is the ideal family car
To prove Regal comfort, ride in a
Regal. To find out about it's power, try
it on any hill Ten thousand users say
it has power and to spare; we say so,
too; buy, TRY it. The whole world
knows about Regal endurance. No car
has ever been put through severer tests
than those to which the famous Regal
"Plugger" has been subjected. Over
$4,000 miles of American roads in prac-
tically every state in the Union have
been covered by this wonderful, sturdy
car, without repairs or requirements.
Doesn't that prove Reliability?
The Regal "3O'-price 81 900 and
$1,050-is now offered for it's fourth
year. In general it preserves the same
mechanical principles as the first Regal
49," but everywhere-in every detail
it has been refined.

ges from the start to building hghgrade, well-but
thoroughly reliable automobiles at Debated
that will compare favorably with automobiles selling
for one-third to onehalf more than it's price The
same is true of the Regal 4O-and it has always been
true of the Regal "30.'

This big, handsome car could not
be built to sell at this price were it not
for the economies in manufacture effect
ed by the Regal System.
We want you to notice the Regal
40" carefully-the mechanism and
specifications; and then call at the local
Regal branch and examine it. You will
see a BIG, gracefully designed fleet
looking, staunchly-made, powerful auto
mobile.
In finish as in mechanism the big
seven-passenger Regal 40" lacks moth
ing. Its motor is exceptionally quiet
and smooth-running- throttles down
from sixty to four miles an hour.
In every sense the Regal 40" is a
big car, fit for big work. 1t is a car
that will give you pleasure to operate
you will feel proud to own and drive it.
1t will take it's place alongside any of the
big cars selling for two and three times
its price, and not for one moment will
you feel that your Regal 40" is lacking
in any of the qualities that make for
pride of ownership. Note it's price
saves you an even thousand at the start.
