A STORY OF
A GIRL %ToDW
A BAD ADVISER

AS we tried to bring her to, there
was a noise in the hall and in strobe
Jem Smith. At the sight of Joan
and L in there with Leila so still
and white on the pillow. he turned
and almost shouted in a rough voice:
$50 you have killed her with your
demands, Miss Meredith Well, let
me tell you it will do you no good. I
can carry on for her. 1 know that
you and Barry were at that road
house, and 1 have the name on that
register myself.
I looked at LEILA quickly. Was it
possible that Providence had let
her die and left us in the hands OF
this bounder?
To my relief and surprise her eyes
flew open with a jerk. She had heard
the voice of the master Of The
Circle, the voice that she feared,
the voice that made her dance
whether she wished to or not.
What is 1t, Mr.. Smith," she
asked, before her lazy lids dropped
again and shut out all expression in
her face.
Although her voice was hardly
above a whisper, the man heard her.
He rushed over toward the bed,
Don't you believe. Leila, what these
danes have been telling you. They
have probable been given you some
applesauce trying to make you think
they are your friends. But I know
all about them. They came to my
place for your address. 1 told them
that 1 didn't have 1t. 1 wanted to
get to you first, for 1 wanted to tell
you that 1 was your friend. I wanted
to make o understand that they
were trying to gyp you. Don't have
anything to do with them.
"Give me that piece of paper that
Barry cut out Of the register. I'll
make them pay for it. I'll make
them pay enough to keep both Of US
all the rest of our lives"
1t was then that 1 pushed forward.
for I understood that If Leila gave
Jem Smith that paper he would bleed
Joan all her life.
Don't give it to him, Mrs. Corn
wall, Joan has been telling you the
truth. Place the two people to-
gether side by side. What has Jem
Smith ever done to you except to
try and throw you into the arms of
any man that seemed to admire you
and then take all the money that he
could get out of you. You told us
note minute ago that you were
ashamed that you had wronged Joan,
and you told us that poor Bary's
death was your punishment. Let us
be your friends, Mrs. Cornwall.
Yes, Leila, please let me be your
friend and 1 promise you hat your
baby shall never want for anything
Bunk said Jem Smith. "Givo
me the paper or you will wish you
hadn't. for these young women won't
do anything for you"
Leila Cornwall raised up her eyes
slowly and looked straight into
Jem's face and said, az can't give II
to you because I haven't got it."

Backways Permit Faster
Travelling on Highways

Many traffic experts do not share
the popular belief that If car registra-
tions continue to increase at the pres
ent rate there will be no road or street
on which to drive in comfort. They
point to a number of significant
trends which they declare are serv-
ing to lessen congestion by distribute
ing the traffic To illustrate this
point they cite a typical case where
a motorist, formerly accustomed to
taking two days to make trip be-
tween large cities via the main high
way, which took him through two of
the largest cities in the country, re-
Gently made the trip in one day via
