ao-day guaranty; they were rebuilts--
but the best trucks in the fieet-and
forster was delighted with them.
I'll take care Of them" said Hickey
Cain. with significant nod. You

forster withdrew. and Jenny heard
her father tell Chauncy that he could
easily force the truck people TO take
back the rebuilt trucks by finding
something wrong with them.

It was a day of desperation and

was going to teach her how to drive.
She had to go out with him on the
lone country roads and attempt to
drive, with her hands on the wheel,
while Chauncy took advantage of
things and tried to kiss her. She was
on the point. once or twice, of driving
into the ditch and ending It all. At
lunch her father and Chauncy talked

DUP ONT DEAL
IS PUZzLINC
Sale of Steel Common
Nets Big Profit to
Owners

NEW YORK. March 20.-tF)-Rea-
son for the sale Of $4,000 shares OF
United States Steel common by the
z. I. Dupont De Nemours and ON
pany was a matter Of conjecture in
Wall street today.
The stock was bought on the open
market at S122.S0 a share, or St4,-
100000 and sold at an estimated
profit OF $2.5O0,000. II was pur-
chased last June. The company at
that time said the stock was pur-
chased as an investment with ur-
plus funds. The stock was carried
on their books as marketable Sc
curities." No statement was avail
able today from the company on the
sale.
The reason generally credited in
Wall street Ia that, either volun-
tary or upon official intimaticn from
Washington. the company concluded
it was unwise for it to extend its
ownership interests in American in
dustrial enterprises.
The Du Pont company Is the lar
gest single stock holding interest in
General Motors common and ever
since the purchase Of the steel shares
last June there has been talk that
the company was attempting to gain
control Of u. s. Steel.
An investigation begun by the fed
eral trade commission into the re-
ported Community Of interest"
among the Du Pont company, the
General Motors corporation and
United States Steel is still pending.
