 FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Roasting Process Used Ex- clusively by Hills Bros. Insures Uniformity

For years Hills Bros. have en- joyed distinct advantage in the coffee roasting industry. For they have patented roasting process that prevents variation in flavor. The basic principle of the proc ess is roasting "a little at a time." Automatically measured lots of rare blended coffees-about three pounds-are introduced into the roaster in steady stream and pass along in continuous flow, roasting 8 little at a time. The speed of the flow and degree of heat never vary with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform.
 No other coffee has the same de- Iicious flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee because no other coffee is roasted the same way This patented proc ess-Controlled Roasting-is radi- cally different from the common bulk-roasting method.
 Freshness is assured in Hills Bros. Coffee because it is packed in vacuum cans. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed from the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab-the rade-mark-on the can. sS

Chapter AZ RETRIBUTION


 Sorely was I tempted at times tos take the risk and go out of hiding-taking Marjorie with me without waiting for the arrest, trial and condemnation of Chink Dor son.
 But I resisted the temptation partly because the police were seek ing a man answering to my appear ance ton the evidence of the sta tion master at Witherby End) partly because I had not known Marjorie long enough st to ask her to trust herself to me and partly because some weeks at least must elapse ere I could receive from Uncle a sufficient sum of money for thea purposes of safe and dis tant flight as well as for the pay ment of Williams H. William and his wife, who had to leave The Monastery suddenly, for one night, we three having a rendezvous in his wifes room, William informed me as entered that he had caught sight of the ugly face of James teeping round the end of the cor ridor.
 AssHe'll have seen you come in, too" said William, and he'll wait for some time to catch you going out. So we'll postpone thts con- ference and slide out of the win- dow. When Jimmy gets tired of waiting he'll but-in here and get the surprise of his life.'
 Whereupon he unwound his knot ted cord from beneath his dressing gown, slipped it's steel hook over the inner windowledge and led the way to the turf, 20 feet below
 Mrs. William then dropped the cord down to us. and we re-entered the house by way of the window oi williams ground-floor room.
 Sure enough, James flung open the door and entered half an hour later and got, as William had said the surprise of his life.
 Albeit desperately anxious, I de- cided that, so long as I was alive Marjorie was safe.
 @But nevertheless took every pos sibae precaution and exercised the most unceasing vigilance. Among the former were efforts to SOW mu. tual distrust among members oi the gang, to mystify and frighteu them and to find faithful friends and a safe refuge for Marjorie. This last I contrived to do after making one of those ridiculous mis- takes the memory of which makes one blush with shame.

Meanwhile, neither believing nor
 in difference to her brothers ad- mired judgment-wholly rejecting my story, she decided to watch and wait; to increase, if that were pos sible, her vigilence, and to view any strange happenings, if not with suspicion, at any rate in the light of what I had told her.
 Again to shorten my story, the arch-enemy, the one whom had hated ten times more than I had hated Charters himself, the one who had sinned most against Rose mary, was now the one who sinned most against Marjorie and, in so doing met his death.
 The man of them all whom I would most readily kill with tor ture but whom, softened by my love for Marjorie, I would have spared, brought about his own dreadful punishment in trying to kill Marjorie.
 Charters, his father, broke n- hearted and fearing exposure and arrest, fled, taking with him his partners in crime, his wife, his daughter-in-law, and the man Ma chado.
 What became of them I neither know nor care.
 Of the four criminals who kid 1aped Rosemary, three have died dreadful deaths in consequence, and I am now content to leave the punishment of the fourth, their leader, in the hands of God.
 Nevertheless, in the very act of leaving The Monastery in urgent haste and for ever, Marjorie and Sister Weldon being safely outside It's walls, I spared a few minutes
