gas prices.
This is the deduction made by the
National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce on the basis of figures of
consumption supplied by the Bureau
OF Mines.
The average vehicle consumes
about $50 gallons on lowest estimates
Of the bureau. Some run as high as
$50. But the average is around $50
and figured on this basis the individ-
ual saving on a 2-cent cut would run

CHAPTER XIII.
The Coin Falls Heads.

Gramont sat in his own room that
afternoon. II seemed to him that he
had been away from the city for
weeks and months. Yet only a day
had interviewed. He sat lingering the
only piece of mail that had come to
nina notice from the post OF the
American Legion which he had joined,
to the effect, that there would be a
meeting that Thursday evening. Only
Thursday! And tomorrow was Fri
day.
If he was to effect anything against
the headquarters of Fell's gang he
must act on the morrow or not at all.
Gumberts was to be out there tomor-
row. Gumberts would talk with the
ratty little man Of the projecting
teeth and adenoids, would find Ora
mont had imposed upon the fellow, and
there would be upheavals. The gang
would take to flight, certainly, or at
least make certain that Gramont's
mouth was shut.
He sat lingering the postal from the
Legion, and turning over events in his
mind. Against Fell he had no particu
lar animOsity. All that the little gray
man had done had been done with the
thought of Lucie Ledanois as a spur.
"If I'm to strike a blow, I'll have
to do 1t tomorrow-before noon to
morrow, also. I'll have to leave here
mighty early, and get there before
Gumberts does. What was 1t Ham
mond said that day about him-tha'

If assured by Friday night of Ora
mont'S assent, would then pull his
strings and perhaps complete the
whole deal before the following Mon
day.
The meeting OF the company had
been adjourned to Saturday morning.
Gramont thought a moment, then went
to his buhl escritoire and opened 1t.
Chacherre had already taken a seat.
Gramont wrote:
"My Dear Mr.. Fell:
"If you will arrange the company
meeting for tomorrow evening, say
nine o'clock, at your office, | think that
everything may then be arranged. As

meantime, will you be kind enough to
assure her presence at the meetlngY'
He addressed an envelope to Fell's
office, and then stamped and peck
eted 1t.

and returning to the Creole, ''any fur
ther ews from Houma? They haven't
found the real murderer yetT
The other came to his feet with an
exclamation OF surprise. AS he did so,
GramOnt's fist caught him squarely on
the point of the jaw.
Chacherre crumpled back across his
chair, senseless for the moment.
"Fm afraid to take any chances
with you, my fine bird" said Gramont,
rubbing his knuckles. You're too
clever by far, ard too handy with your
weapons"
He obtained cloths, and firmly bound
the ankles and wrists Of Chacherre.
Not content with this, he placed the
man In the chair and tied him to It
with merciless knots. As he was fin
ishing his task, Chacherre opened his
eyes and gazed dazedly around.
Awake at last, are your said Ora
mont, genially. He got his pipe, filled
and lighted 1t. The eyes Of Chacherre
were now fastened upon him venom
ously. ITO bad for you, Chacherre,
that the coin fell heads up! That
spelled action"
"Are you crazyT' muttered the other
In French. Gramont laughed, and
responded in the same tongue.
ut does look that way, doesn't it7
You're slippery, but now you're
caught"
Chacherre must have realized that
he stood In danger. He checked a
curse, and regarded Gramont with a
steady GOODNESS.
BE careful" he said, his voice
deadly. what do you mean by thisT'
Gramont looked at him and puffed
his pipe.
"The games up, Ben" he observed
II know all about the place down
there-about the cars, and about the

ously. THAT will happen in the weeh

WOMAN'S COMPLEX LIFE

Woman's complex life with its multi
tudinous calls is given as the reason for
many a nervous breakdown. Home work,
social obligations, dressmaking and the
care of children keep the Goth century
woman in a whirlwind of activity until
headaches develop, backache, nervousness
and oftentimes more serious ills which
are peculiar to her sex alone. Such
women should not despair, but be guided
by the letters so often published in this

just such conditions, but who have been
