On the way uptown she had read
the newspaper account of the differ

a simple case of an early marriage
and the wrong man. Mrs. Wood
wanted to marry some one else, and
Mr.. Wood was determined not to let
her go. He had evidently kidnapped

Jill began her interview with sim

that your baby has been kidnapped"
Mrs. Wood nodded, while tears
flooded her eyes.
Jill felt uncomfortable. as IL she
were intruding on something that she
shouldn't. But she had been sent by
her paper. She had to get her story.
She was about to ask another ques.

that ought to be with her mother.
And it isn't as if 1 had ever done any
thing wrong, because 1 haven't. I
told him the truth. We're just not

Jill had opened her notebook and
was scribbling sentences in shorthand.
Already she had an idea of how she
would write her story. She could
hardly wait to get back to the office,
and yet she felt as if she ought to say
something comforting.

walled Mrs. Wood.
II think you ought to sit tight, just

factory to purchase in separate pieces.
A set may be bought all at once, or
only a few pieces at az time, as ones

the certainty that the missing pieces
can be supplied at need.
The fact that a pattern Is an open

many cheap ones are made up in this

prefer to own them because of the
sense of exclusiveness.
