Could IL be that knowledge-or

Remembering the radiant Edith

that the latter was the sole and

minutes before, of one of the guests,
a man who had registered as John
Beckwalter. Of Chicago. Beckwalter
had been found in his room q few
minutes after a heated conversa-
ton over the telephone.
The telephone operator could not
remember the number Beckwalter
had called up. The house detective
wanted to know, because he thought
the person called might be able 10
give him a more definite address
for Beckwalter than merely Chi
cago.
The house detective was distinct
ly annoyed. The operator, 1t seemed,
could remember things about that
conversation she had had no bu.-
iness to hear. She knew, for in
stance, that he had talked to a
woman. that ''he sure had been tell
ing the dame where she got of"
and that, despite her protest that
she couldn't dress SO fast, he had
ordered her to come down to the
hotel to see him at once. But she
couldn't remember the number.
In the midst of the conversation
between the manager and Boyle the
girl with the twisted stockings
walked into the lobby, carrying a
light travelling bag. Just as she
approached the desk she caught the
words, when I saw Beckwalter's
body there" and gave a startled
little exclamation, attracting Boyle's
attention at once. In bulldog fash
ion he went straight to the point.
Pardon me, miss" he said, were
you the party Mr.. Beckwaiter was
phoning to-" J
The girls eyes widened in
naughty stare. NO" she said curt
ly; Il don't know Mr.. Beckwalter."
Then why did you seem startled
when you heard of his death?' per-
sisted Boyle.
Did 1 seem startled?" she said
coolly., I'm sorry to have annoyed
you. I suppose I was startled to
learn that somebody's body had
been found in a hotel where I in
tend stopping"
Catching a frantic glance from
the manager, who feared the pros
pective guest might take offense,
the house detective mumbled an
apology and admitted that the CON-
versation she had overheard might
naturally startle any lady. Then
he moved over to where Hunt sat

HOW A CONCRETE ROAD
BENEFITS THE MOTORIST

Touring possibilities at all seasons of
the year and every day in a year go
hand in hand with the concrete road.
Safety First is realized as non-skid
surface. Concrete boulevards thru the
open country makes riding pleasure
by doing away with the jar, dust in dry
weather and mud in wet weather, a
smooth surface makes steering easy,
reduces tire cost, lessons fuel consump-
ton. These are some of the ways in
which a concrete road benefits the
motorist.
Reduced to simple terms concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads at
one trip instead of one load at two
trips, or, it doubles the size of the load
and cuts in two the tractive power
necessary to transport farm produce.
With less capital tied up in horses
there is more cash to put into equip
ment to produce more cash. The con-
crete road reduces the strain on horses
and lengthens their lives. II reduces
wear on wagons and harness. Where
motor trucks are used it lessons tire
and fuel expense. It puts the farmer
in a state Of preparedness to reach
markets quickly when prices are best,
and he can take home his profits and
get home with more cash than he could
by slow hauling on bad road. 1t adds
to the acreage value Of farm because
it increases its earning possibilities. A
concrete road makes all these advanta-
ges permanent bringing its toll OF pro-
fit to the farmer daily in the form of
time, money and effort saved.
Yours,
Uncle George Van Pelt.
