BIG SHOE BILLS
CAN Be CUT

Il will always wear shoes with Ne6lin
Solos," writes Mr.. M. Newman of the
!. Newman Mfg. Co. of Minneapolis.
They are superior soles in every way,
waterproof, more comfortable and more
durable. After many months of wear
they remain in good condition"
Mr.. Newman, and millions of others,
have found that the answer to the shoe
bill problem lies in getting soles that
wear a long time--Neolin Solos,
They are scientifically made, very
tough and yet have the other qualities
that soles should have-comfort and
absolute waterproofness. Get Neolin-
soled shoes for your whole family.
They are found nearly everywhere and
in all styles. Have worn shoes re-
paired with Ne5lin Soles. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot HeeIs--guaranteed to OUT
wear any other heels.

faction of seeing her start.
II should say l did" was her prompt
and somewhat unexpected reply to
that question. A suspicion of guile
came for the first time into her al
most infantile- looking eyes. She again
leaned forward in her seat, in fact,
and raped sharply on the cab front.
Driver" she said. with what I
knew was merely well feigned per-
turbation. II find l have forgotten a
parcel-a valuable parcel. Take me
right back to Biltman & Taylors. And
please hurry!" The taxicab circled
the square and turned southwark
again. The maneuver was as trans
parent as the windowglass between
and the driving rain. My baby-eyed
war widow had realized that it would
never do for me to ascertain her home
address, or even the fence" for which
she may have been heading.
l sat there pensive for minute or
ing what to do.
And where would you like to get
out?' sweetly inquired the woman at
my side. Her righteousness was al
most childlike. But it failed to make
an impression on me.
When you do" was my curt re-
Spouse. And she sighed audibly, with
the plaintive patience of a much tried
woman doing her best to be reason
able.
But l had formulated a plan of
action by this time and l stuck to
her like leech. ] stepped out Of the
cab when she did. and waited under
the dripping canopy in front Of Bilt-
man & Taylor's until she paid her
fare. l followed her in through the
double swing doors and still kept
after her, like a harbor tug nosing
after a liner. ] still kept in her wake
as she sailed majestically up to the
elevators. And by one of those odd
little condolences which often make
life quite as romantic as fiction itself,
at just about that time ! caught sight
of Toosey Attrill herself. What made
things more Interesting was the fact
that Toosey promptly yet cautiously
threw me the code sign to keep off
her beat. And IT wasn't until ! fol-

posite side of the double topped desk.
She was plainly an out-of-towner. /
knew that even before l caught sight
Of the old-fashioned gold mesh bag
which she perched beside her gloves
on the rosewood rail dividing the lit
tie desk. Then my attention went
back to the war widow. for that plump
lady's predatory eye was most unmis-
takably fixed on this same gaudy and
glittering bag. Then, leaning farther
forward over the desktop, as though
in the throes of labored composition,
she let her left hand slip forward
until the point of the lorgnon which
she held between her fingers came in
contact with the meshes of gold. She
waited, in that position, for con-
siderable length of time. Then with
the point Of her lorgnon she quietly
and deliberately lifted the bag from
its resting place and let 1t sink noise
lessly down on her own side of the
little partition. She went on writing
for several minutes without moving.

Then 1t was withdrawn and secreted
somewhere in the folds of that be-
guilingly funeral apparel. Then l saw
her calmly fold up the last Of her
notes, address an envelope and seal it.

across the heavily carpeted room and
out through the door; pleasantly re-

gathered up her skirts with what
must have been a distinct but alto
gether misleading sense Of triumph.
For l was close on her heels, every
move. But instead Of ordering a sec
ond taxi this time, climbed in right
after my billowy pennyweighter.
1t was anything but a friendly smile
with which the lady in the war-widow
toys accosted me as I pumped down
in the seat beside her.

! companionably and yet at the same
time pointedly announced, in an eff

She glanced down at the shield
without tremor. She didn't even seem
interested in 1t.
She leaned forward and tapped. on
the glass, with command for the
driver to stop at the next corner.
It's no use," ] told her.

Because my only alternative will
be to order this driver to take us
both to the nearest station house"

rather heavily back in her seat. You

the nature of Toosey's preoccupation.
For within three feet Of me l noticed
by the mirror set in the wall of that
crowded elevator stood a pert-eyed
woman whom 1 at once recognized as
pocket slasher" known to the pro-
fession, l remembered, as Trixie Tis-
dale.
Incomplete as was my view Of her
In the mirror, l noticed that she
pressed little closer to my placid
eyed war widow. ! caught a glimpse
of certain extremely guarded explora-
tory movements, and then the even
more guarded downward sweep Of her
right hand. which told me as plain as
words that the redoubtable Trixie
was reverting to her old-time arts of
"slashing" and poke swagging."
Just what her haul was I couldn't
make out. 1t disappeared too quickly
into the secret split-skirt pocket
which she wore for such occasions.
! had only time, as we moved in a
body out Of that crowded elevator, to
ny distress signal for Tooseys OBJ
servation. She edged toward me at a
petticoat counter, seemingly intent on
q study of changeable taffeta.
"Toosey." I said, as l studied a COM
panion garment, that plump widow

But I'm beaglin' that boob trimmer

Never mind, Trixie Tisdale," told
Toosey, dropping into her idiom. "I'll
attend to her. You shadow that
widow. She's wise to my lay, so we'll
have to switch"
Il get you" announced Toosey.
Toosey dIscreetly eyed her pros
pective quarry.
Then get busy. quick, for there's
Trixie edging for a duck"
But Trixie didn't even get to the
elevator. She had taken her sound

looked like plain sailing to her. So It
brought her up short to find me
