CHAPTER MI
The F1Kht

For q long time John Bruce stared
lessly because the bottom seemed quite
to have dropped out Of things, and then
with set face as the old cabman's words
came back to him: "Crang not
Claire" And at this. n sort Of mcrci-
less Joy crept into his eyes. and he
nodded his head in savage satisfaction.
Yes, Hawkins had been right in that
respect. and--well. 1t would be easier
to deal with Crang!
And then suddenly. John Bruce's face
softened. Hawkins! He remembered
the fury with which the old man hao
inspired him as the other had reeled
into the room, and Claire, hurt an0
miserable. had risen from her chair.
But he remembered Hawkins in n diff
ferent way now. 1t was Hawkins. not
Claire, who had been hurt. The shabby
old figure standing there had paid n
price, and as he believed for Claire 8
sake. that had put beyond his reach
forever what must have meant. what
did mean, all that he cherished most in
life.
John Bruce smiled little wistfully.
Somehow he envied 'Hawkins--so pitt
fully unstable and SO weak-his
strength.
He shook his head in a puzzled way.
His thoughts led him on. What q
strange. almost Incompetent nsible little
world 1t was into which fate. IL one
wished to call II fate, had flung him !.
II was IN alien world to him. His own
life OF the past rose up in contrast with
it-not OF his own vOlition, but be-
cause the comparison seemed TO insist
on fhruStiTlV itsalf npOp him,
He had never before met men like
Hawkins and Paul Veniza. .IIc had met
drunkards and pawnhrokers. Very
many Of them! He had lived his life,
or, rather, impoverished 1t with a
spendthrift hand. among just such
classcs-but he was conscious that II
would never have been the poorer for
an intimacy with either Hawkins or
Paul Vcniza.
John Bruce raised his head abruptly.
The front door had opened. A moment
later footstep sounded in the outer
room. and. then upon the stairs. That
would be Paul Veniga returning, of
course. though he hadn { been gone very
long; or was it that he. John Bruce,
had bccn sitting hcre staring at that
closed door for q far longer period than
he had imagined?
lie shrugged his shoulders, dismissing
the interruption from his mind, and
ngain the wistful smile fickercd on his
lips.
SO that was why nothing had been
said in his hearing about the robbery !!
Queer pe0ple--with their travelling
pawn shop, which was bizarre; and
their standards ,of honesty. and their
unaffected hospitality which verSed on
the bizarre TOO. because their genuine
ness and simplicity were so nnosfrnfn
tious-and 50 rare. And somehow. sud

And then John Bruce raised his head
again. sharply this time, almost in n
startled way. Was that a cry---in n
woman's voice? It was muffied by the
closed door. and it was perhaps there
fore his imagination; but tt
He was on his feet. It had come
again. No door could have shut 1t out
II vin his ears. 1t was from Claire up
stuirs. and the cry seemed most curi-
ously to nn,ingle terror and a passionate,
anger. He ran across the room and
threw the door open. It was strange
II would be Paul Veniza in new role,
if the gentle. white. haired old pawn
broker could inspire terror in any one
A rasping. ieering oath--in mans
voice this tine-reached him. John
Bruce. a sudden fury whipping his blood
into fire, found himself stumbling up
the stairs. It wasn't Veniza His
mind seemed to convert that phrase into
sing song refrain: 'It wasn't Ve-
MIA It wasn't Veniza ~
Claire's voice came to him distinctly
row, and there was the same terror in
it, the same passionate anger that he
had distinguished in her cry:
Keep away from me! loathe you
It Is men like you that prompt a woman
to murder! But-but instead, have
prayed God with all my soul to let me
die hcfore--" Her voice ended in q
sharp cry, a scuffie Of feet.

The Service

To Give

In our women's garment section have set out to
establish standard of service which will be con-
tent with nothing less than complete attainment
satisfactory to and recognized by patrons.
This standard embraces of course, the most faith
full adherence to policy of increasing
volume of sales at lowered margin of
profit
This standard includes, likewise, the determination
that each customer of the womens garment de-
partment shall have precisely the same treatment
to prpice; that woman easy to please and fit
shall not be required to pay for the alterations of
the more difficult customer and that alterations
shall be paid for at actual cost of time, etc., and
not charged into the price of the garment
This standard includes worthy merchandise in every
case, behind which stand unhesitatingly and
with positive guarantees
And finally, this standard proposes that the women
shall have at their command in Rosenwald's ready.

Most For Your
Money I'm
Millinery

You will get most for your money in millinery pur-
chases at Rosenwald's-not only in the periods of
special sales-but season after season throughout
the year. There many why this is
bound to be true, but the dominant influences are
volume buying and access to a continuous supply
of stylish hats coming to through efficient
buying connections, from only the best creators of
for all the old-time system of buying a stock of
millinery for approaching season. Long ago we
abandoned the plan of assembling with unski!}ed
milliners and limited facilities local productions
Leaving these behind went to the fountain head
of millinery styles where Partisan models are no
introduced than they reproduced and
where the American designs have their origin.
Thus in the display ready on our tables you
will see in complete array, the millinery styles that
the costumes of fall and winter will demand and
approve, whether those who them be in
Paris, New York or Albuquerque
You are cordially invited to view some of the new
arrivals today and to seek information as to the
prices. Both will interest you.

That the churches are well repre-

statement:

Read Forty Pages an Hour.
How fast can you read? President
r. M. Hughes Of Miami university, af-
ter an investigation states that in the
case Of ordinary reading the average
college student should be able to CLEAN
the thought from the printed page at
the rate of 40 pages an hour. He also
says that there are several students
at Miami able to read intelligently
at the rate Of 100 pages an hour.
Tests were made with regular read
ing assignments made by the profess
sors and not with light reading such
as fiction. 1t Is sometimes erroneous
ly thought that the rapid reader skins
over his text, not compromising COM
pletely what he reads. However, it
has been definitely proved that the
efficient reader Is the rapid reader
and as the result Of his investigation,
President Hughes Is requiring all MI
ami freshmen to attend series Of
lectures given by the faculty men on
the subject Of efficient reading.
