The latest attempt 10 solve this
problem consists of a disc-like
wheel. with the pneumatic tire inside
the rim and solid rubber outside.
This, however. has the same draw
back as many other inventions of it's
type. The strain of the cars weight
is placed on the rim of the wheel in
stead of the tire. where it should be.
The pneumatic tire, by its air re-
siliency. takes up all this strain and
causes little or no chance for the
wheel TO break under its weight

were probably in the pocket of my

NO" she insisted, looking me
straight in the eyes. ".You are not
telling the truth now, Jimmie. You
know Mr.. Norcross better than any
of US, and you know that it isn't the
least little bit like him to walk out
and leave everything to go to wreck.
Have you yer known of his doing
anything like that before?"
I had to admit that I hadn't; that,
on the other hand, it was the very
thing you'd least expect him to do.
But at the same time I had to hang
on to my sham belief that it was the
thing he had done: either that, or
tell her the truth.

after he sent that telegram, to go up
into the Canadian woods to look at

shat MI. Norcross has followed him,
and that is why they don't hear any
thing from him"
What do you think?" / asked.
She didn't answer right away. and
in the little pause / saw a sort of
frightened look come into her eyes.
But all she said was, II want you to

CHAPTER vi
What Every Man knows-

/ wasn't gone very long on this sec
ond excursion into the w~oozy-woozies, |
though it was nighttime, and the
shaded electric light was turned on
when l opened my eyes and found
Mrs. Shejla sitting by the bedside.
The change in Mrs. Sheila sort Of
made me gasp. She wasn't any less
pretty as she sat there with her hands
~clasped in her lap, but she was diff
ferent; sober. and with tie laugh all
gone out of the big gray eyes, and a
look in them as if she had suddenly
become so wise that nobody could
ever fool her.
"You are feeling better now?" she
asked, when she found me staring at
her.
I told her / guessed l was, but that
my hand hurt me some.
"You have had a great shock Of some
kind-besides the burn, Jimmie" she
rejoined, folding up the bed covers so
that the ~bandaged hand would rest
easier. 'The doctors are all puzzled.
Does your head feel quite clear now
so that you can thinkY
ut feels as if l had a crazy clock
in it," I said. But the thinking part
is all right. Have you heard any
thing from Mr.. Norcross yet?"
Not a word. We have been hop
Ing that you could tell us something
when you should recover sufficiently
to talk. Can't you, Jimmie"
Remembering what Maisie Ann had
told me just before I went off the
hooks, ] thought I might tell her a
lot if I dared to. But that wouldn't
do. So l just said:
ST told Maisie Ann all I knew about
Mr.. Norcross. He left the Office some
7 little time before / did-with Mr.. Rip,
ley. I didn't know where they were
going
They went to the hotel" she helped
out. Mr.. Ripley says they sat in the
lobby until after ten o'clock, and then
Mr.. Norcross went up to his rooms"
Of course, / knew that Mr.. Ripley
knew all about the Hatch ruction;
but il he hadn't told her, I wasn't GO
ing to tell her.
rThere was some trouble in con-
nection with Mr.. Hatch that evening,
wasn't there??' she asked,
Hatch had some trouble-yes. But
/ guess the boss didn't have any" /
replied.
44Tell me about it" she commanded;
and / told her just as little as / could

how Hatch had had an interview with
the boss earlier in the evening, while

ut wasn't a quarrel?" she suggested.
why should they quarrel?"
asked.
Che shook her head. "You are spar
ring with me, Jimmie, in some mis-
taBen idea Of being loyal to Mr.. Nor
crdss. You needn't, you know. Mr..
NGcross has told me all about his

enalgh to say that ] helped him make
then. That is why cannot under
staSd why he should do as he has
dcih-or at least as everybody be-
lieyes he has done"
Hsaw how 1t was. She was trying
to lind some explanation that would
clSsr the boss. and perhaps implicate

thsreni reason why he had run away.
