It was a 20-mile drive to Weston.
Late In the afternoon, arrayed in
Santa Claus costume, Evans started on

the Christmas tree was lighted. At

II am going to tell you what my
heart 'onged to tmpart to you Just two

''Watt," she futtered. II can guess,

the room. II was to return wearing
the rose colored sash.
He knew 1t was his answer az she
hid her biushing face. AS he drew her

vent1y he recalled the merry hours
with the brood Of little Dalrymples,
and one incident that had tinged his
whole career, when he and Ivy were
alone trimming the Christmas tree.
She wore a rose colored, broad ribbon

DOES THE ENGINE KNOCK?

| 1t was prospect to make the heart
of open road ahead, To Jones sit
( ting beside the driver the car appear
ed almost to fly. so swiftly and
smoothly did it speed along. And
yet Murdock seemed dissatisfied His
face wore an anxious. puzzled frown.
Now and again he would bow his
head to one side and listen to the
; hum of the engine; then he would
cut out the muffler and for a few
moments let the engine snort like
racer. Now he retarded the spark !:
| next advanced it as high as it would
go. Still the .frown persisted. Final
ly. miles out in the country Murdock
threw out the clutch. stopped the car
and got out. What now" queried
Jones. she seems to be doing fine?"
Maybe you think so. but I know
better. Don't you hear the knock?''
Jones could hear nothing, despite
Murdocks careful attempts to help
him distinguish the knock He was
inclined to regard it all as imaginary
However. he watched Murdock with
interest open up the pet cocks to
blow out the SCOT"
"All right; hop in. III fix her up
when l get home. It's that poor gas
were getting these days, and she's
filled up with carbon"
When they returned from the ride
the engine, in Jones opinion still per-
forming well. Murdock at once got to
work, opened up the cylinders. Sure
enough, they were choked with car
! bon, and Jones realized that Muir
dock had not been mistaken in the
| knock. He also understood why II
was that Murdock's car gave such
good service even after five years of
| hard use. while his own car had long
since gone to the scrap heap, after
only three years use.
How often do we not encounter in
stances in which some friend or ac-
quaintance whom we thought in the
best health dies suddenly or has a
serious breakdown. In almost all
cases inquiry would show that he
had neglected that warning knock"
or like Jones, had failed to appre-
ciate IT. Let us not be too ready to
criticise, for the early warning symp-
toms are usually so slight that often
they can be detected only by a quail
ned physician. after very careful
examination. little irregularity I'm
the heart beat, "a slight thickening OF
the arteries. an occasional trace of

or breath on eXeftion, a slight cough

OF no serious significance.
Just as the careful motorist has his

SO all of us who value our health
