Wilmore lit cigarette.

There are times when one doesn't
believe or disbeleve," Francis an
swered. Zone knows"
Wilmore nodded.
"All the same, you're crazy" he de-
clared. "Even if you did save the fell
low from the gallows, you were only
doing your job, doing your duty to
the best of your ability. You had no
reason to believe him guilty"
That's just as it happened" Fran

And you wouldn't now-tomorrow,

"Never again."
Because of that woman's story?"
Because of the woman"
There was a short silence. Then
Wilmore asked very obvious ques-
ton.

ton was one which he had been ex-
pecting, one which he had already
asked himself many times, yet he was
unprepared with any Definite reply.

speak of the impression she left upon
me, and you are about the only per-
son breathing to whom l could speak

Wilmore nodded sympathetically.
He knew that, man of the world
though Francis Ledsam appeared, he
was nevertheless highly imaginative
person, something of an idealist as re-
CARDS women, unwilling as a rule to
discuss them, keeping them, in a gen.
eral way, outside his daily life.
Go ahead, old fellow" he invited.

"She left the impression upon me-
Francis continued quietly, "of a wcm-
an who had ceased to live She was
young, she was beautiful, she had all
the gifts-culture, poise and breeding
but she had ceased to live. We sat
with marble table between US, and
a few feet of oil-covered floor. Those
few feet, Andrew, were like an impass-
able gulf. She spoke from the shores
of another world l listened and an
swered, spoke and listened again. And
when she told her story, she went. l
can't shake off the effect she had upon
me, Andrew. I feel as though l had
taken step to the right or to the left
over the edge of the world"
Andrew Wilmore studied his friend
thoughtfully. He was full of sympathy
and understanding. His one desire at
that moment was not to make mis-
take. He decided to leave unasked the
obvious question.

dining anywhere?"

the Indifferent reply.

Wilmore insisted. There's scarcely a

the problems OF marketing.
in the early days before tho pub

plains, hut today the great majority
OF buyers are experienced motorists
and their choice is determined by tho
established general character OF the

There amt no use In kicking.
friends.
When things don't come your
way.
u does no good To holler sound.
And grumble night and day.
The thing 10 do IL curb your grlef.
Cut out your little whine
And when they ask you how you

There amt no man that walks
But what from trouble gets his
nap.
Go minglc with the bunch. old boys.
Where all tho bright lights shine.
And when they ask you how you
are.
Just say. I'm feelin' fine"
