with the experience of dealers

reveal a decided trend toward the

The good Maxwell is now far in advance
of previous conceptions of four>cylinder
performance and value. One of its most
notable improvements is the practical
elimination of vibration-but the touch of
Chrysler engineering genius is evident in
every phase of riding and driving.
Maxwell is now the complete realization
Of the high standards toward which the new

1t is your mother. OF course, you love
her. 1t is your sister. or your
brother, or your father. OF course
maybe you do, but equally. maybe
you do not. This is true story,

the story Of a mother-vain. selfish.

edged defeat. 1T was Anne Bedding
field who opened up the murder at
the Mill House. thereby diverting sus-
picion from a deeply suspected and
persistently pursued young man of
complete innocence, despite the signs
Of guilt that followed him about.
Good enough, he turned out, this
young man, to be the husband of
Anne Beddingfeld, at last, though not
until about half the world had been
traversed by this indomitable young
woman in her zeal not only to find
the real criminal. but incidentally
also to give clean bill of moral
soundness to the untustly suspected
man. An intricate matter, this ro-

through the world intent on her

any one OF them better than the girl
deserves, are the final count in her
self-absorbed progress. The story
leaves her chastened, but not done

alive. presumably standing in wait
for further progress of Unity along
her self-appointed ways of life. One
has the feeling that the author in

, leaves the matter with the senten-
