He must get out OF HiXon and into

lean boy Of four years ago was the
somewhat illed-out man now. The one
concession that he had made to Paris
life was the wearing Of closely
cropped mustache. That he still wore
had worn Il chiefly because he liked
to hear Adrienne's humorous denuncia-
tion of II. He knew that. in his pres
ent guise and dress, he had an excel
lent chance Of walking through the
streets OF Hixon as stranger And,
after leaving Hixon, there was mis-
sion to be performed at Jesse Puryy's
store. AS he thought Of that mission
a grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All journeys end and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized, but they
either eyed him in inexpensive silence
or gave him the greeting Of the fur
riner."
As Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown-shirted militlamen, lounging on
the rail OF the middle span. They
grinned at him, and, recognizing the
outsider from his clothes, one OF them
commented:
Amt this the hell Of a town."
ITS going TO be-" replied Samson
enigmatically. as he went on.
Still unrecognized, he hired horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence. save for the easy
creaking Of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud OF hoofs.
The silence soothed him The brood

song lulls a fretful child. Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten yistas. Some
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Homel"
II was late afternoon when he saw
ahead OF him the orchard OF Purvy's
place. and read on the store wall, a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse Puryy, General Merchandise. u
The porch Of the store was empty,
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him
This was surprising. since. ordinarily
two or three OF Purvys personal

P. Adams of New York, the morning
after seeing The Passing Of the Third

within reach OF any mother who

Every woman knows how hard it is
to keep a lace collar clean while
wearing fur next to it. Get three
fourths yard lace five inches deep.
Shir this one inch from edges onto
tape as large around as the top OF
your fur collar or fur piece. Sew
fine snap fasteners on tape and the
other part of fasteners on inside OF

the lace stands up like a ruching

it and 1t keeps your collars clean.
