"He doesn't use his real name here"
she said In strained. broken tones.
"You wouldn't know 1t If mentioned

"Starbuckl!"
She heard the name blurted out In
hateful amazement. With dry, de-

into the cold refusal that she saw
was coming.
Leaning against the table, with his
back to 1t, the gambler shifted from
one foot to the other, his eyes, that
he might avoid her eyes, fixed on the
floor; he flattened his left hand at
his side on the table, and his right
hand rested on the grip of the revolt

his hip.

at disappearing with apparent un-
concern but with deadly point-"rm

him-that, If you want it, is my hon

talk to the two Cole boys, John and
Abe, If Abe's alive yet; and to the

"But, john" she pleaded in heart

CUTTING ICE

Recent experiments by the home

Every sewing machine has q
guide book, although you may
have forgotten or overlooked 1t.
1t pays to read this book care
fully. In it are instructions for
the care and use of your machine.
The service which you get from
your sewing machine depends on
how well you follow these direc-
tions.
Regular oiling of all bearings
and friction points is absolutely
necessary. Study your oilfng
chart until you know how to oil
both the head and the stand. Use
only good sewing machine oil.
Kerosene dropped into the oiling
