from the girl he loved. found
1t hard to work.
According to his promise, he had
mailed "A letter to Barbara on Mon
day morning on his way to the Of
flee. In this he had poured out his
heart to her. repeating all the love
VOWS he had made on that wonder
fui Saturday night when they had
stood together on the veranda of
Arthur Paige's house.
He had had so little time I'm
which to tell her all that was in
his heart! He had foolishly ac-
cepted an invitation to dinner
when he met Mrs. Jameson and
Mary on Sunday noon. He had sup
posed that he could leave their
home by two o'clock. But, to his
chagrin. dinner was served later
than he had expected. Then they
had insisted that he sing for them
before his departure.
He could not be discourteous and
refuse. He had even. told Mary
that he wanted to call on Barbara.
Mrs. Jameson had been most
insistent. At last Mary had come
to his relief and had told him that
they would excuse him il he really
had another engagement.
Thus it had happened that he
was too late for a private talk
with his betrothed. And he had
had no chance to explain all this
to her. In fact. the period in
which he was in her company had
been so hurried that there had been
only that minute in the station in
which to repeat that he loved her.
He added to his long epistle a
postscript begging his sweetheart
to send him at least a note i'm
mediately.
This plea must have reached her
surely by Tuesday morning. Yet
the following day brought no re-
ply.
On Monday night, Robert wrote
another letter, for he longed to
tell Barbara again of his devo-
tion.
This was the letter that Cynthia
Paige had espied on the hall table
on her return from the moonlight
picnic. And that, too, Barbara had
never seen. .'
A THIRD LETTER.
In spite of the silence of the girl
he loved. Robert Elliot wrote to
her for the third time on Wednes-
day evening. He did not finish the
letter that night, intending to add
something to it the next morning.
But the next morning brought
him a brief not from Barbara. He
tore 1t open eagerly.
At first he could hardly believe
the evidence of his own senses. IL
could not be Barbara--his Barbara

tion of all that she had said and
done while he was in Summerfeld!

read her note.

said. ] prefer that you do not

He sprang to his feet and began
to pace the room. The sound OF q
clock striking reminded him that
he should be at his office. with n
smothered groan he thrust the puz-
zllng note into his pocket and
rushed off to the subway.

That afternoon he reached a con-

Barbara engaged! Barbara to

Suddenly Robert recalled how she
had asked him in the first flush of
their love talk IL he could support
her. He remembered now how the
question had Jared.
So she was looking out for
comfortable fortune, was she? She
had played with him until she was

Builds the Essex?

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.
The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall
short of the Super-Sx in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause of its nimbleness. They like the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any COM
munity that are most prominent because
of their performance ability are the
Hudson Super-Six and the Essex.

Essex success has not been accidental.
No one doubts its right to the position
it holds.
On the Cincinnati Speedway, a stock
chassis Essex set the world 5O-hour en-
durance mark, of 3O37 miles, under
American Automobile Association SUI
pervision. Another stock Essex holds
the unequalled 24-hour road mark of
1901 miles.
But how many knowwhy Essex in its
frstyear revealed qualities more mature,
more evident Of the influence of long
experience, than is commonly found in
cars even in their third and fourth year.
You will recall the Essex was an
nounced one year ago without one word
as to the identity of its builders. Not
claim was made for its performance.
You were asked to go look at it, take
ride and form your own opinion. The
Essex was required to speak for itself.
Now that it has established itself,
it is revealed why Essex has all the
qualities of cars Of long development.
