DANNY'S RUDE VISITOR
,cDyFr rrga,tsfaIS l5rllr

Danny was having a beautiful time.
Back of his house there was garden.
and his father had just painted the
roof Of the house which to Danny was
a beautiful sight. He could not quite
make up his mind whether the garden
WIS more beautiful than the roof or
whether the roof was more beautiful!
than the garden.
For the roof had been painted very
handsomely and Danny knew 1t.
There were some people who
couldn't appreciate newly-pnintcd
roof. They didn't see. because they
didn't appreciate such things.
Yes, everything around Dauny's
house looked very fine. And the pe"-
pie in 1t looked very fine. too. There
was his mother-shc was beautiful
and clever, too. and his daddy not only
could paint a roof. but he had put
handsome wall paper in Danny
room, and lie was funny, too. and
made people laugh.
Then there was his little sister
Elaine. She was quite perfect and
had such cunning, bright, pretty lit
tie face and such dainty ways.
Everything was quite perfect. And
then one day, all of a sudden. crca-
ture knocked at Dnnny's house. He
did not wait to be invited in-no one
would have asked him in-and lie
just went in of his own accord.
TIN after Danny" he said And
his voice was n most unpleasant voice.
Along with it was sound of snce2-
ing and when the visitor went straight
to see Danny he undld his suitcase
and said:
I'm here to stay for awhile"
Now this visitor was none other
than Mean Old Measles. And every
one knows that he has no manners.
and that he isn't funny, nor is he
clever, nor Is he beautiful.
He couldn't paint roof, nor make
the flowers in the garden grow. nor
could he bake cake as Danny's
mother could. No. he couldn't 10

Oh, he was mean. all right Danny
didn't want him. No one wanted him
But he unpacked his suitcase and out
came his possessions. He had
snceze jacket and a coughing suit and
a headache cap. and he brought along
some of his mean little friends
They had stayed right in the suit

Chapter II

The two young men adopted charac-
teristic attitudes when confronted
with the slight misadvcnture of
hour. Christopher Bent deliberately
filled and lit pipe, and, seating him
self on the top of low, gray stone
wall. gave himself up to the JOY Of n
wonderful view and the pleasure OF
unusual surroundings. His compan-
ion, Gerald Dombey, stood peevsLly
in the middle of the road, with his
strewn road, the rottenness OF all
motor tires. and the evil chance which
led to this mishap In the last lap of
their journey.
We'll be on the road again in
twenty minutes, your lordship." the
chauffeur promised, as he paused for
moment to wipe the persplra;ion
from his forehead.
His master nodded with some signs
of returning equanimity.
Don't distress yourself, John" he
said. "There's no real hurry SO long
as we get into Monte Carlo before
dark. Come on. Christopher" he
added. turning to his companion. "Get
off that wall and let lis explore"
The two young men strolcd off to-
sether. Gerald paused to point 10
the little, discolored house of jean
Sargot.

That place, for instance, looks like

land and this little grove Of Expresses.

taken them all from his play Dox and

Christopher withdrew the pipe from
his mouth for moment. lie was
looking at the opening in the little
grove of expresses.

Is something unreal about the place"
Gerald. too, was suddenly conscious
of the girl who stood clutching the
top OF the wooden gate, her face
turned n little away from them, ab-
sorbed in the contemplation of that
distant spot where the road vanished
in faint haze of blue mist.

 Stakeholder 4-Wheel Brakes have three exclusive features not found any other system in this country. ............

 g. The front wheels cannot lock.
 B. There are only two adjustments requred-ons at each rear wheel The front brakes are permanently adjusted at the factory.

 so ENTIRELY NEW and so different from any other body ever made before that new name had to be created-the DUPLEX.
 The upper structure is shaped in pressed steel and covered with the finest waterproof fabric. The steel construction permits the use of another radical Stakeholder creation, the new roller enclosing tains. There is the permanent beauty and durability of the steel top plus the instant convenience of the roller curtains.
 Thus Studebaker engineers have solved the open closed car problem
 The buyer who wants the airiness and practical convenience of the open car and who also wants the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed car can now get both in car and at the price of an open car.
 One moment the new Stakeholder Duplex is beautiful open car-a touch of the hand to the over tapping roller curtains and it is snug tight closed car.

 distinctive. stylish body lines can be origi-
 mated by American body designers without ~ following precedent or initiating or adapting what has been done before. Today Stakeholder proves that a practical and beautiful type of car can be made to combine the pleasure and performance of the open car and the comfort and protection of the closed car and this without excessive price or compromised quality - car duplex in open-car smartness and convenience and closed-car elegance and confort-ard at price no higher than that of an open car!

Today Studebaker proves in its new Special Six and its Big Six Duplex models that the ultimate in all the essential features of quality in five and seven passenger cars can be made and marketed at price of $l4os and $ls75 respectively
 And this is possible only because Stakeholder cars are made in one of the most comprehensive indus trial plants in this country 70 per cent of which is new within the last six years.
 Every modern method of manufacture and long experienced management available for the pro- dueton of Studebaker automobiles. Today Studebaker proves that the highest grade closed car bodies-framed in selected hard woods, cushioned with the best cushion work upholstered in fine nohair fabrics and fitted with expensive ap- pointments-can be made and marketed on super iatively good chassis at moderate prices.
 This is made possible by the new S10,oo0,oo0 Studebaker closed body plants. Studebaker designs and builds all of its closed bodies in one of the best equipped and most modern body plants in the n- dustry.
