should be given every opportunity to

be necessary to insure diligence on the

CHAPTER XIII.

Daphne was going TO be independ-
ent. but she was still all woman when
il came TO the selection of her special
trade. She would be a business wom-
an. but She would do a woman's bust
less.
There were eve so many dalnties
and exquisitcs that she wanted to
hang in her shop. She was going to
have a window With her name on
it, That would be more fun than a
limousine with crest on door.
Gradually her scheme enlarged. She
would devote her shop TO the whole
mechanism of the boudOir. 'Boudoir-
wear" was the word that pleased her.
1t was in human nature that the
partners should quarrel over a name
for the baby before the baby was
born. They spoke Of themselves as
The Firm"
Finally Daphne. claiming the ma
jority Of the power, voted en- bloc for
"Boudoirwear," and claimed the vic
tory. Mrs. Chivvis surrendered with
the amendment that Miss Kip"
should be at one side. Mrs. Chivvis"
at the other. She bribed the assem-
bly, by promising that a cousin of hers.

ton News, should paint a pretty sign

CHAPTER XXI.

In those days the United States of
America suddenly woke to the fact
that they could pull themselves out
Of bankruptcy by helping the benight-
ed states of Europe into Ii.
There were sudden geysers of for
tune and sudden collapses of failure.
As in bonanza times, many were ru'
ined, while the few prospered. But
Clay and Bayard seemed to touch
nothing that did not turn TO gold.
Bayard had gained immense prestige
with his firm because Of the huge
orders he brought in. He took all
the power that was accorded and
grnSped for more. His most reckless
aCdacities were rewarded with sue
cess. He rode a tidal wave and swan
with 1t so well that all his progress
seemed TO be due To his own power.
Bayard astounded Dutilh with the
solution of that old account, and with
a cash payment for new gowns In
celebration Of his new glory. He did
not forget his own people. He tele-
graphed his mother a thousand dol
lars and almost slew her with amaze
ment. He telegraphed his father sim
ply the price of IA railroad ticket to
New York and a peremptory SUM-
mons tn take the first train east.
When Daphne heard this she had
TO sit down to keep from falling down.
Bayard resuscitated her with u check
for "A thousand dollars. Ii meant
nothing more to her than abraca-
dabra. The whole incredible altera-
ton vas a fairy story TO her. She
made Il faint attempt to refuse the
gift, but Bayard forced it back into
her palm and closed her fingers on IL.
She repaid Bayard with kisses till
she lost count and embraces till they
both lost breath. Then she borrowed
from him enough cash TO pay her
moss-grown bill with the Chlvvises.
Daphne could not wait for the ele-
vator. She ran up several flights Of

latchkey and flung herself

So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. II was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
"A tolerable reconciliation.
WELL" Bayard sighed, "~beggars
cant be chOosers. If I'd saved my
money | shouldn't have to TAKE Weth-
erell's money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the office, His Grafton
made Il huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators. and finally to share in the
apparent rapture of his distant ear
tO-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. He had cunningiy raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as Il lever for his
" advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
meal for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Bayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out UNI

Mr.. Chivvis was sitting by a win.
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her EN-
hroidery. She was cheerful-fOr her.
She told Daphne that she had found
Il market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get TO work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about 10 become %plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more eXhausting drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. 1t Is more
|fatiguing than bad. She was sur

The cousin painted it well and iilu-

an allegOrical figure of a young lady
in Cubist negligee. 1t had the tradi-
tiOnal charm of a tavern board. In
fact, their shop was to be a tavern for
women in search of sartorial refresh
ment.
Troubles mustered about them as
weeds shove up in a garden faster
than they can be plucked out. Ex-
penses undreamed of materialized in
swarms. Everything was delayed ex-
cept the demands for their money.
The petty-cash box. like a sort Of per-
verted fairy purse. emptied itself as
fast as ii vas filled.
The petty cash was the least of
their dismay. The grand cash was the
main problem. They had stitched

one thing was instantly demon
strated. They must give up their plan
or go into debt. Indeed. they already
were in debt.

Daphne. "I'd rather die than go on
paying a years rent for an empty
shop"
Il know" Mrs. Chivvis fretted,
gnawing her thin lips, "but it's a risk.
You'd better ask your brother"
"No!" Daphne stormed. 'Tm going

Mrs. Chlvvis suffered herself to be
persuaded. They visited the whole

received. having paid cash before
and, thanks TO Mr.. Chlvvls' suggestion,
having been astute enough to demand

in camp soaked to the skin, tired and

voices rang out in cheerful defiance to
the angry night. to the hard life before
them and to the possible death that
awaited them! That's the stuff that is

INITIATE TIRES ON HOT DAYS
Terrific Driving Necessary to Generate
Enough Heat to Raise Air Pres
sure in Tire.

Motorists should again be warned
against the notion that the heat of a
summer day expands the air inside a
tire to such an extent that the tires do
not need to be blown up to the same
point as in winter. Experiments show
that 1t takes terrific driving at racing
speed for a considerable period to gen
crate enough heat to raise the air pres
sure in a tire five or six pounds. The
expansion In a car driven at an or
binary rate on a hot summer day is so
slight that no allowance should be
made for 1t when the tire is pumped
up.
Motorists would do well in hot
weather to test the air pressure In
their tires every few days to see that
the leakage of air has not reduced the
pressure to the point where the tire
will suffer harm.

She made no answer.

The world Is dark without you. I've
built a bungalow for you and me. Let
us fly to an isle In the tropic sea. The
kiss you gave me set my heart on

The girl was not offended. She
scowIed a little. but not at him. She
seemed in deep thought. Suddenly
she looked into his pleading orbs.

Days for Inspection.

The only way this can be done with
certainty is to set aside certain days
for the inspection of each vehicle by
u mechanic whose sole duty Is to seek
out the thirsty members and apply
the lubricant most I its taste. Armed
with a fabrication diagram, perhaps,
though this would only be necessary
at the start, a large squirt can or
oil, another of kerosene to clean out
dirty bushings and to free those
which may be guInmed or stuck, a
bucket and gun of dope" or trans
mission lubricant and a pail or can
Of cup grease, on the appointed night
he will go entirely over the truck.
He should pick out a certain place
to start-the starting crank is a logi-
cal place-and proceed about the
truck, cleaning away the caked mud
and dirt and looking at each point
keenly. Parts which are found to be
in need of lubricant should have the
needed material applied at once and a
note made of the need. In his inspec-
ton he will test the quality of oil In
the engine base, gearbox. d~ifferential,
etc. as well as merely the quantity
present. since 1t is necessary to clean
out old oil periodically. When a
change of oil is needed he will flush
out the case with kerosene and fill it
to the proper level with new, clean
oil.
1t nay take several hours to give
the proper attention to one badly neg
lected truck, but If once done properly
and conscientiously followed up by
periodical subsequent inspections. an
energetic mechanic should be able to
act as godfather to three or four veh-
cles a night. Naturally If the feet is
small, this will not be necessary. Once
In two weeks is often enough for each
vehicle, the driver being held strictly
responsible for all daily fabrication

and radius rods.

VERY IMPORTANT
Hard to Induce Mechanics and

Several Hours May Be Required to
Give Neglected Truck Proper At
tention and Cover All Of Most
Vital Portions.

A good way to add years to the serv-
ice life of a mOtortruck and to re-
duce expensive layups is to make sure
that 1t never lacks fabrication. There
are between fifty and a hundred points
on a motOrtruck which require indi-
vidual fabrication attention. Unfortu-
nately ii is not possible to arrange
the chassis 81 that all of these are
to be fabricated at the same time
since the parts represented by this
array nearly all work at different
speeds and under wide variations Of
load. Every manufacturer conscien-
tiously supplies purchasers with charts
showing just where, with what and
when to attend TO each fabrication
job. Yet it seems impossible for most
organizations to get their mechanics
and drivers to keep the chassis oiled
as per schedule.
