CHAPTER x1I-(continued).

Perhaps if they concealed them
selves" I suggested. 1.-The fellow might
venture back and be nabbed."
But Godfrey shook his head.
|, Il don't want him to venture back
he said. II want to scare him eff. /
want him to see we're thoroughly on
guard" He hailed a passing cab, and
paused with one foot on the step. 1--WE
already told you, Lester he added,
over his shoulder, that I'm afraid of
him. Perhaps you thought I was jok-
ing. but l wasn't. I was never more
serious in my life. The Record office
he added to the cabby, and jingled
away, leaving me staring after him.
AS turned homeward, I could not
but ponder over this remarkable and
mysterious being with whom Godfrey
was so impressed. Never before had
known him to hesitate to match him
self with any adversary; but now, it
or at least feared it-feared that he
might be outwitted and outplayed! How
great a compliment that was to the
mysterious unknown only I could guess!
And then 1 shivered a little as 1 re-
called that knocking Inc ironic laugh
ter. And 1 quickened my step, with a
glance over my shoulder; for if Cod
frey was afraid, how much more reason
had to be-! 1t was with a sense of re-
nef. OF which l was a little ashamed,
that l reached my apartments at the
Marathon n locked the door.
Just before l turned in for the night,
l heard from Godfrey again. for my
telephone rang. and it was his voice
that answered.
II just wanted to tell you, Lester"
ne said, that our guess was right.
The mysterious Frenchman came owe
on La Touraine. landing at moor yes
terday. He came in the storage, and
the stewards know nothing about him.
What time was it he got to Vantine's?
About 2, 1 should say"
so he probably went directly there
from the boat, as you thought. That
accounts for nobody knowing him. The
steamship company is holding a bag
belonging to him. I'll get them to open
1T tomorrow, and perhaps we shall find
out who he was"
But Godfrey" I broke in, chow about
this other fellow-the man with the
burning eyes? He's getting on my
nerves."
Don't let him do that, Lester!" he
laughed. We're in no danger so lone
as we are not around that cabinet!
That's the storm center! I can't tell
you more h that. Good night" and
he hung up without waiting for me to
answer.

Read the AdVS.

We wish you would watch th'
advertisements in the News. l,
will pay you to do so. If yor
will do so, you will be a convert
to the idea that advertising pays
too. We know of several in'
stances lately in which the re-
suits from a months advertising
have been sufficient to keep the
advertising running a long time.
And it does not cost much to ad-
vertise, either. We will run lit
tie reading notices for you for
FIVE cents a line, or we will give
you display advertising for from
1Oc to II 1-2c per inch. The ad-
vertising will be neatly set, and
if you will tell the absolute truth
in your advertising the results
will be highly gratifying to you.
Try a small adv. and see. If you
are a farmer, and have some
thing to sell, the best way to do
it is with an adv. All live wide
awake merchants advertise. And
they do a big lot more business
than the fellows who do not.
True, if you do some Advertising
your competitors will knock on
you. but that is just what you
want them to do. In 4 case of
that kind, every knock is a boost,
and boosts pay. The merchant
who advertises is not afraid to
invite you in. That is just what
his advertising is for. 1t is an
for you to come in.
The fellow who tries by other
means to inveigle you into his
store is wrong some way or other.
If he tells you he sells goods as
cheap as the fellow who adver.
tises, just ask him if the other
fellow did not make him do it?|
The reliable merchant of today
is the one who buys his goOdh- -
low as possible, and then tEi1S
you in his advertising what he
has to sell, and what he asks for
it. He is not ashamed Of his
good, neither is he ashamed to
have people come in and examine
his line. That is what he means
by his advertising.

willing to continue to find jobs
