RARE COFFEE WINS COUNTLESS NEW
 USERS BY FLAVOR
Amazing Popularity of Hills
 Bros. Coffee Tribute to :,
 Roasting Process <


 Years of experiment by Hills Bros. have resulted in the origina- tion and perfection of the only Controlled Roasting process in use today.
 By Hills Bros patented process, the degree of roast is positively controlled. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster = about three pounds at tin1e-does not vary. The speed of the flow an& the temperature remain the same, with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. This roasting method is to a large de- gree responsible for the frequent question, "Why is Hills Bros. Coffee always the same?"
 Comparisons show that Hills Bros. Coffee has a flavor no other coffee has. The ordinary method of roasting in bulk cannot insure a uniform roast because there is a lack of control. 4
 The vacuum can, in which Hills Bros, Coffee is packed, keeps the coffee fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is completely removed from the can and kept out. Coffee does not stay fresh in ordi- nary cans, even if air-tight. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade mark -on the can. Sold by grocers everywhere.

Chapter 21 "A SCRAP OF PAPER"

pr. Charters paused for mo- ment and scrutinized the menacing face of MT. James before he re- Sumed.
 An old friend of mine"-he be- gan "Maudie Lauderdell nowa- days, who knows a lot about me in fact, worked with her once saw a clear chance of big mon- ey, and came to me as the right man trustworthy, sagacious and with the ideal facilities for the job. I fell for it at once-an abso- lutely safe job Now, does it occur to your bright brain that this nice safe 1C,o00 pound job was all the safer for the fact that not soul in the world could possibly know it was job?
 The idea had come into Maud's brain, and Maud had got it to mine with a wink to horse that's never been blind. Why. she didn't even mention the fee in words.
 Do you see any good reason why l should shout about it to Mac :. Adoo and Fanny, and Louie and you? Not that I suggest that any member of cur splendid team would ever be careless, but accidents happen in the best regulated fam lilies. A remark overheard-and then two and two put together and made into five and then the fats in the fire.
 "Of course, I trust each one of you as I trust myself, but if six people know a thing, there's three times as much chance of an acci- dent as there is if only two know it."
 The face of MT. James retained its unpleasantness, and his skep- tical silence gave no consent to the Doctors platitudes.
 And" continued Dr. Charters might I now ask how you presume to think you know that the Sl0,000
 
 wasn't going into the pool?"
 F"Oh?" sneered MT. James. "Oh? Then how was 5000 of it going into Manoers pouch as soon as he got wise to the game? All going into the pooll' Like hell it was"
 "Hol Ho So you've been talking to Manoel, and you've been think ing again. But thinking isn't youi strong point, Jimmy
 Can the funny stuff and answer plain question" growled MT James. Where did I come in, i Manoel was to go fifty-fifty, be- cause he caught you out?"
 Do you want to sit there ane tell me you think I'd reward hin with 5000 pounds? Like hell would"

 Then how did he get to know?" he asked.
 You tell me that, and you shall have the whole 10000 for yourself, Jimmy"
 But I thought you're giving up the whcle thing?" expostulated MT. James.
 T am. It's far too dangerous while Wave is here. No, I'm not going to lose out now-now that I've made good. Not for 10000 pcunds-nor for million I'm never going back to the crook-life, Jimmy-ncw that I'm out Of it and safe"
