WHY BUY A USED CAR?

Because every car you see in
the street is a used car-because
inasmuch as the first buyer has
taken the heaviest depreciation,
you will get long service out of
a good used car with but little
reduction in value.
Because used car buyers save
freight and excise tax.
Because many of our used cars
are equipped with many dollars
worth of extras, which cost you
nothing.

his immediate departure, there would

Besides, he wouldn't mind If he did.
He was beginning to be rather
ashamed of the things he had said.
But the room was deserted. Tommy
walked across to the writing table, and
opened the middle drawer. A photo

he stood rooted to the ground. Then
he took it out, shut the drawer, walked
slowly over to an armchair. and sat

In Downing Street.

The prime minister tapped the desk
in front Of him with nervous fingers.
His face was worn and harassed. He
took up his conversation with Mr.. Car
ter at the point 1t had broken of.
II don't understand" he said. "Do
you really mean that things are not
SO desperate after all?"

Lets have look ut his letter
again"
Mr.. Carter handed 1t over. 1t was
written in a sprawling boyish hand.
Dear Mr.. Carter:
II think l know who the real Jane
Finn is. and I've even got an Idea
where the papers are. That lasts only
a guess, of course, but I've sort Of
feeling It'll turn out right. Anyhow,
enclose it in sealed envelope for
what it's worth. I'm going to ask you
not to open 1t until the very last mo.
ment, midnight on the 2Sth, in fact.
You see, I've figured it out that those
things of Tuppence's are plant too,
ard she's no more drowned than l am.
The way / reason is this: as Il last
chance they'll let Jane Finn escape In
the hope that she's been shamming this
memory stunt and that once she thinks
she's free she'll go right away to the
cache OF course its an awful risk
for them to take, because she knows
all about them-but they're pretty des.
perate to get hold of that treaty. But
If they know that the papers have been
recovered by us, neither of those two
girls lives will be worth an hours
r,rchase. must try and get hold of
T-lppence before Jane escapes.

They came to it not long after leav-

car promptly, asked in casual way
whether the path led down to the sea,
and hearing it did paid off the man
in handsome style.
A moment later the taxi was slowly

and then turned to the narrow path.
They went down IN single file, julius

into him.
