n BOVE we show some of the inside
~ reasons for the growing demand for
4 = Firestone Tires and Tubes. This
demand increased our output last year
alone 1876. This demand brought to us
500 more dealers last year. This demand,
because of inbuilt Service, has made US
grow into the largest organization Of tire
specialists in America.
Nothing but Mileage. Mileage at the
lowest cost plus every feature Of real serv-
ice, would have done this.
And nothing short Of Firestone quantity
and quality Of materials can possibly dellv-
er this mileage and riding service.
You need that extra layer of fabric in the
Firestone-4 plies instead of in the small
size-7 plies in the 5-inch Firestone, for
instance, instead Of only in the ordinary.
You need that cushion stock in the Fire
stone. There is none of it in ordinary
tires. Yet it is impossible to build full
service tire without cushion layer under
the breaker strip. You must have it to pre-
vent bruising and overstraining the fabric.
Firestone Tires have never been built
down to price. You will find everything
In Firessone that ought to be there. Fire

stone Tires are vulcanized by the two
cure" process. This is more expensive
than the "one-cure," but it allows rigid in
spection in the making and eliminates
fabric buckles and other defects.
The sections show these things-the
mileage proves them. Ask any neutral re-
pair man which manufacturer gives the
most in quality. He cuts into all makes
Of tires. He knows.

THIRD EPISODE
The Vanishing Jewels.

Banging away at my typewriter the
next day, in Kennedy's laboratory, I
was startled by the sudden, insistent
ringing of the telephone near me.
Hello / answered, for Craig was
at work at his table, trying still to ex-
tract some clue from the slender evil
dence thus far elected in the Dodge
mystery
"Oh, Mr.. Kennedy" I heard an ex-
cited voice over the wire reply, my

~ as he listened over it.
He motioned to me for a pad and
pencil that lay near me.
please read the letter again, slow
er, Miss Dodge" he asked, adding
there isn't time for me to see it
just yet. But want it exactly. You
say it is made up of separate words
and type cut from newspapers and
pasted on note paper?"
I handed him paper and pencil.
All right, now, Miss Dodge, &c

AS he wrote he indicated to me by
his eyes that he wanted me to read
I did so:

the powerful limousine On uptown
they went, the only thing preventing
the limousine from escaping being the
fear of pursuit by traffic police if the
driver let out speed. They were con-
tent to manage to keep just far enough
ahead to be out of danger of having
Kennedy overhaul them. AS for us,
we followed as best we could, on up
town, past the city line, and out into
the country.
There Kennedy lost sight alto
gether Of the car he was trailing.
Worse than that, we lost sight of
Kennedy. Still we kept on blindly,
trusting to luck and common sense in
picking the road.
I was peering ahead over the
drivers shoulder, the window down,
trying to direct him, when we ap-
preached a fork in the road. Here
was dilemma which must be decided
at once, rightly or wrongly.
AS we neared the crossroad I gave
an involuntary exclamation. Beside
the road, almost on it, lay the figure
of man. Our driver pulled up with a
jerk and was out of the car in an in
slant.
There lay Kennedy! Someone had
blackjacked him. He was grooming
and just beginning to show signs of
consciousness as I bent over

asked, helping him to his feet
He looked about dazed a moment,
then seeing me and compromising he
pointed excitedly, but vaguely.
'sElaine!" he cried They've kid
naped Elaine!"
What had really happened, as we
learned later from Elaine and others,
was that when the crossroads was
reached the three crooks in the limou-
sine had stopped long enough to speak
to an accomplice stationed there, ac-
cording to their plan for a getaway.
He was a tough-looking individual who
might have been hoboing it to the city.
When, a, few minutes later, Ken
nedy and Elaine had approached the
fork their driver had slowed up, as if

the dirt, examining the road for marks.
/ THAT way!" he indicated, leaping
back to the running board.
We piled back into the car and pro-
ceeded under Kennedy's direction, as
fast as he would permit. So it con-
tinued, perhaps for couple of hours.
At last Kennedy stopped the cab
and slowly directed the driver to veer
into an open space that looked partic-
ularly lonesome. Near 1t stood a one
story brick factory building, closed
but not abandoned
AS l looked about at the unattrac-
tive scene, Kennedy already was down
on his knees in the dirt again, study
ing the tire tracks. They were all
confused, showing that the taxicab
we were following had evidently
backed in and turned several times
before going on.
Crossed by another set of tire
tracks," he exclaimed excitedly,
studying closer. 'That must have
been the limousine, waiting"
Laboriously he was following the
course of the cars in the open space,
when one word escaped him, Foot
prints!"
He was up and off in a moment, be.
fore we could imagine what he was
after. We had got out of the cab
and followed him as, down to the
very shore of sort of cove or bay,
he went. There lay rusty, discard
ed boiler on the beach, half sub
merged in the rising tide. At this
tank the footprints seemed to go
right down the sand and into the
waves, which were slowly obliterating
them. Kennedy gazed out as if to
make out possible boat on the hori.
zon where the cove widened out.
"Look!" | cried
Further down the shore, a few feet
had discovered the same prints, go
ing in the opposite direction, back to-
ward the place from which he had
just come. started to follow them
but soon found myself alone. Ken

steps.
He did not answer. but seemed to be

!, A Remarkable Scene Greeted Us.
4 Martin at Mr.. Martins store directly"
It lacked five minutes of noon when
hKennedy and l dashed up before Mar
films and dismissed our taxicab.
A remarkable scene greeted us as
1--WE entered the famous jewelry shop.
Involuntarily 1 drew back. Squarely
in front of us a man had suddenly
raised a revolver and leveled it at us.
DON'T" cried a familiar voice.
''That is Mr. Kennedy"
Just then, from little knot of peo-
pie, Elaine Dodge sprang forward
with a cry and seized the gun.
Kennedy turned to her, apparently
not half so much concerned about the
automatic that yawned at him as
about the anxiety of the pretty girl
who had interviewed. The too eager
plain-clothes man lowered the gun
sheepishly.
Sturtevant Martin was a typical So
ciety business man. quietly but richly
dressed.
In the excitement I glanced about
hurriedly.
Directly in front of me was a sign
tackled UP on a pillar. which read:
"This store will be closed at noon to-
day. Martin e Co."
ALI the customers were gone.
