THE LOVE CAME; A CITY ROMANCE
CHAPTER O9
VIRGINIA T0HueE uskvarn


 He saw her face change. An in- stant later he understood why.
 You are right" she commented thoughtfully. Since I am not rich, 1t would be wrong for me to squan- der my money-when I might be put ting 1t to some good use. There are people less fortunate than I who could be helped by it.'
 T was not thinking of them" her guardian said. T was thinking of your own future. I feel responsible for the management of your affairs just now. Tli2t is why I spoke as did"
 she was thinking of Richard Rankin and the older man knew she was. He was glad there was not much chance for her to see the reformer while she was so busy.
 Yet several days after she had moved into the new apartment, Rich ard Rankin telephoned to her.
 T suppose yor are nearly settled" he remarked. "Is there anything that I can do to help you?"
 "Yes." she said eagerly. will you come up some evening soon and hang my pictures? 1 would love to have you do it."
 And I would love to do it." he told her with a gcnuineness that flattered her II will come tomorrow evening" That night, when Muir stopped by to ask if she would like him to hang her pictures, she shook her head.
 "No. do not bother" she said. But you cannot do it yourself nor can Mrs Bates" he reminded her. Tt is q mans work.
 Yes" she admitted with bold ness that surprised herself. I know it. and I have asked Richard Rankin to come up and do it for me. You see, as he is an artist, l am sure ne will know what is the best light for each picture"
 Muir did not speak for minute, and she felt vaguely uncomfortable. This sensation made her utter word of excuse.
 T was not sure that you would have tine to help me anyway. did not know but what your time might be flled up with engagements.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the Snoopwiggy and the Wiggysnoop and Grinny Bear all sat around old Mister Hokus, the magi- clans table eating the goodies which Raggedy Ann had wished there. And. because old Mister Hokus had invited them all in to share the good things, it had changed him from a selfish, un- kind person into a kindly generous one.
 It was just be- cause he opened up his heart and showed kindness to another which made the magician feel so good he decied to unlock the magic lock which he had put in the Snoop- wiggy's pocket and locked so the Snoopwiggy could never, never escape again.
 And when he had done this, old Mis- ter Hokus said, Now I will tell you a secret! l am not even a teeny weeny speck of a magician, 1 was just pretend . ing it all the time.

to you" he said. Then he added with an effort that she did not suspect:
 "Yet, as you say, since Rankin has artistic leanings, he can probably hang your pictures better than a mere layman could"
 He laughed so naturally that she told herself she had been foolish to feel that he disapproved of her ask ing Richards assistance.
 Anyway, it was well to let Don- ald understand that she meant to do as she pleased when the matter of money was not involved. She was not accountable to her guardian for anything unconnected with her ffnan- cial affairs.

Atlantic City, N. J., March 16.-- County Judge William H. Smathers al Mays Landing sentenced more than 100 defendants convicted of the so- called vice" indictments returned af- ter the prosecutors campaign last summer and fall in criminal court.
 After issuing a warning that second conviction would mean jail, Judge Smathers fined pinety-two liquor vio- lators s100 each. Men and women convicted for gambling and as pro- prietors of disorderly houses were fin ed in most instances $500 each. The fines amounted to s17,500.
 Three defendants, Louis Farina. stephen Matthews and Ida Holland, all of Atlantic City, died since enter ing pleas of non vult. More than ninety indictments were nolle pressed at the request of Prosecutor Gaskill, who in his address to the court stat ed that the average cost of securing convictions of each of the defendants was s250.

ASK BETTER MAIL
 SERVICE FOR CITY
Postmaster Delaney Wants New Carriers, Additional Delivery, Etc.

Considerable improvement in the postal service In this city, additional deliveries in the factory and business district, and the addition of several more mail carriers, are being planned by Postmaster William F, Delaney, and he and his assistants arc prepar- ing data 10 be submitted to the pos tai department at Washington.
 Because congress failed to provide an appropriation for paying overtime for mail deliveries. mail carriers have been forced to cnrtail their work. In fact In many ca-es the deliveries in the outlying streets have been cut all most so per cent, one delivery being made where there were two before. Bad weather and bad walking condi- with the service.
 If the plans for improvement of service go through, and 1t is expected they will the business and factory districts will get one more delivery each day. making three where there now are only two, This will require the addition of several new carriers.
 Another delivery in the business and factory section with the increase in the delivery force which this would necessitate. would have the added cf- feet of permitting other carriers to start farther out. and finish their routes with less difficulty This would be of material advantage dur ing the first and last few days of each month when it is almost impossible under present conditions to complete route on time.
 The information which Washington requires will be ready within a week or two and will be filed with the de- partment- A postal inspector will be sent here to make an official survey of the situation. following which there will be decision as to whether or not the request will be granted.
 Mir. Delaney expects to have the improved service in operation by early summer.

 plain Children Were Poisoned.

Boston, March 16.--The licenses of 26 small hotels. cafes and drink pur- veyors have Ben suspended or re- voked by the Boston licensing board in its joint effort with the police de- partment to close up places where liquor is consistently sold.
 Ten of the licenses were revoked and the others suspended for pe- riods ranging from three days to a month. Other cases are said to be under consideration.
 Many complaints have been made by parents whose boys and girls have disclosed the places where they bought liquor. Youthful officers in civilian clothes have played an inn portant part in getting evidence.
 Some of the parents have written to the police that their boys have been sent to hospitals for treatment as result of drinking poisonous bev- erages.

Quality First Factor in
 Auto, Says Cadillac Head

Tt is within our power to make 1928 the healthiest and most normal year in the automotive industry since the great war" according to II. H. | Rice, president of the Cadillac Motor Car company "Eu where there Is evidence of an intelligent effort to dc this not by wishing for n new boom and price imitation. but by giving a better's days work and producing better goods. We are acting on the 1 realization that real wealth is not measured in dollars. but in the quan- tity and quality of goods produced.
 Prior 10 the great activity of the latter half of 1922, the country had passed through n needed period of denation. A closer approach to nor nal is now evident in commodity prices. production. and commercial activity.
 For both general business and our own industry all indications at the beginning of 1923 were for an aver age throughout the year better than | in 1922. Now that we have passed the first two months of the new year
  sions. Sales and production have fully met expectations.
 We believe that the potential in- fuence of Europe upon our normal progress has been overestimated. From my own personal study of con- ditions there late last year, l gained a much more optimistic view of the situation than seems prevalent here. When I was there, France was work ing, producing and rapidly repairing the damage of the late war Since then Great Britain has added much to the morale of Europe by arrange ment to pay her debt to the United States.
 No one learns to swim by cling ing to life preserver. No aid from America can replace the effort of Europeans to help themselves.
 When Europe settles down to producing real wealth in commodi- ties with the same earnestness that is today being shown, she will be on the road to the same normal, healthy business condition that honest work is producing here.
 III our own COIIlpdHy, ouT COl- clusions are based upon close per- sonal study of conditions through out the country. I have just re- turned from trip throughout the East Mr. McNaughton, our vice president, is now covering the west and southwest.
 Everywhere we discover, clearly defined, a conservative attitude of optimism. By that I mean an atti- tude of optimism such as is assumed by our distributors, by bankers and other progressive and conservative business leaders.
 We believe it is a year in which genuine value built into a car will influence buyers more than ever be- fore.
 There are factors peculiar to our organization that we believe will further stimulate output. There is a growing popular approval of the V-type, eight-cylinder engine. Our latest car, the Type 61. has proved the most successful and popular car we ever built, and continuous re- finements in our manufacturing processes have made the car now in the hands of our distributors an even better transportation unit than the first Type 61 which left the fac
