By FREDERICK HART

I &C. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate }
The search for books old and new,
carried Ralph Gordon into many
strange byways He had an lndepend-
eat income, and as he Was "a young
man with ambitions he set out TO
make himself an authority on Eng
lish literature, particularly that Of the
later EliZabethan period. He went far
for his books. and spent much money {;
but he had the satisfaction OF seeing
his collection grow and himself ac-
kn0wledged among those who know as
real bibliophile. He even went so
far as TO write little on the subject.
One day when he was cataloguing
his treasures he found that his edition
Of Ben Jonson was lncomplete-that
II lacked a small and comparatively
obscure volume OF the writer's early
days. one not included in the standard
sets. He Immediately set about To
remedy this omission.
But the small book eluded him. HIS

their efforts were unavailing After n

His search led him one day TO

playing tattered editions of one-tlme
thrillers. dust-covered sets OF for
gotten writer's. and series OF paper
backs setting forth the adventures OF
such magniiicen, heroes rs Dave

entered the place without hope: II

Ralph Gordon looked more closely

hastened TO the little bookstore. II

there, and he was surprised to see a
sign announcing closing-out sale. and
several hard-looking persons just leav-

entered. In far corner he saw the
familiar figure of the girl STOPPING
over a pile of second hand tones. At

then. seeing who he was, ran To greet
him with a little sob. Her relief at
