my readers had had such expert

and generous response from peo-
pie who have had the same expert

There were too many of these
letters for the results to be mere
coincidence. So far as | know, |
have never seen any reference TO
this in a textbook of medicine, but
that is understandable because so
many people with mlgraine or sick
headache treat themselves and
their remedies eve get to the
medical profession.
They probably start out by hav-
ing a doctor when their attacks
first begin but soon find that he
does not give very much relief or
that they IAN Learn everything
that he has to offer. For instance,
in one of the letters that was sent
me on the subject, a woman says
that she and her family have
moved seven times IN the last IS
years and have consulted a great
many doctors but she has never
consulted one about her head
aches.

other thing l have noticed is that

Many seasoned life insurance agents
have had such an experience-and it is
lesson they never forget. 1t explains
why conscientious agents, like crusaders
in every good cause, are loath to take
mo" for an answer. 1t explains, too, why
many Americans have the life insurance
they now own; some agent, through re-
peated calls, helped them to buy the kind
and amount of life insurance they should
have

the start. Now she even
Well, she didn't know. For sure.
But he was right. He was a
lawyer. He had an office. Ed
had a lot of things.
But sometimes she wondered
just what he would have done. If
he'd found her on corner.
Hungry. She wondered If he'd
still care IL he knew. Like Lon
knew. She wasn't quite sure.
The doorbell rang and she
turned from the window.
Come in" The door opened,
and there Ed was. He had some
gardenias for her. He smiled.
Hello, Lynn You're lovely"
He threw his coat on the chair,
then scowled at his shoes.
I've got to clean those off be-
fore they'll let us in the Gold
Room. I'll borrow your kitchen
and a rag"
you know the way" She
watched him disappear. Idly she
wandered toward the mirror and
Strengthened her hair. AS she
turned, her eyes caught on the
chair. There lay Eds coat. And
there lay a small black book. 1t
was open. Absently she picked it
up.
"Oh, Ed. you dropped" she
started She never finished Tn
consciously her eyes had slipped
over the penciled words
Miami ............April Is
New Orleans. June %
Forth Worth. July 5
Las Vegas. September 1
MeXicali ......December %
Once more she read them,
slowly, unbelievingly. And then
she knew what it was. a record
of Ions flight. And then she
knew something else: Ed wasn't
just a lawyer.
What did you say, Lynn ?" he
called
What did l.. oh Nothing,
nothing" she repeated strangely.
She put the little book back in
the coat pocket. She stared at
the wall. but she didn't see the
wall. She saw some eyes that
had smiled and lips that had
laughed with her for six months.

Eds lips and eyes. While he
cheated on somebody that. :.
THAT she didn't want to be
cheated.
But he. He wouldn't. "
she tried to protest. It wasn't
any good. She knew. But she
had to be sure. In that moment
she knew she had to be sure.
Swiftly. silently she opened the
drawer where she kept 'Sally's'
cards. On the top Of the small
stack lay the last she had gotten;
Just a blank card from a little
place called Bondono, California.
1t had come yesterday.
She left 1t there. Very care
fully she moved it with one fin
ger till 1t made a perfect parallel
with the side of the drawer. Care
fully she closed the drawer.
Ready, Lynn" Ed stood in
the kitchen door. Smiling again.
"Just a minute. I'll get my
coat" She went into the little
bedroom and closed the door She
got her coat. She waited one ex-
ira little moment--just enough.
Then she came back.
"All ready, noww she said Gag
erly. He slipped the collar up
about her shoulders. He touched
a wave of her hair.
Il like you. Lynn. You know"
he said quietly. That's nice"
Now she smiled, too. They took
the elevator down to the lobby.
Just as they passed the front
doors, she paused.
II forgot something. I'll be
right back. Wait here She
turned and hurried back to the
elevator. She went back to the
apartment and shut the door be-
hind her. She took deep breath.
Then, very slowly and carefully,
she opened the drawer.
CHE stifled a sudden gasp: For !
- now she was sure. The card !
no longer made parallel with |
the side of the drawer. 1t had !
been lifted and read. And Ions /
last stop was known.
Very slowly now she closed the
drawer. She went into the bed
room and opened a jewelry box
There were two hundred dollars
in small bills there. She put them
in her purse. With a quiet finality

Ready to 60"
He looked at her strangely.
rs something the matter?"
Not any more. l think it's all
clear now. Let's 60"
They went to the Gold Room
and got a floor-side table. The
music was good. The food was
good. Ed smiled, and she smiled
back. She said she was having a
good time.
At eleven o'clock, she used the
telephone.
II want a reservation on the
next plane for California. want
to get as near as 1 can to q

looked it up.

hind him. His steps were lost
down the hall. She turned to
look down from the window. She
saw him go away.
When he was gone, she turned
around. She wasn't really cry
ing. It wasn't that, exactly. But
it was something close. And
something she hadn't known was
there.
THE wine glass was empty.
She reflled 1t. pouring slowly.
One drop spilled to the white
cloth and spread. She lit a
cigarette and the juke-box
started again. The music swal-
lowed up the tinkling knives and
the voices; and then the music
faded.
There was telegram:
Dear Candy,
Arrived here this morning. All
okay. Love. Sally.
The telegram was from Miami;
the first of a trail that stretched
through almost a year.
There were others letters and
cards She remembered them all.

time he says, "No!"

again.

in a little circle. I'm just re-

IT'S something I learned once,
and then almost forgot"
What is that 2"
There are all kinds OF people,
Ed. You can't tell by looking. 1t
isn't what people do in the world
so much; how nice they are, or
anything. It.. it's what they do
for you-just you. It's the differ

at him squarely.- You've never

and hungry"
Il don't guess so. But what ?"
But you might try someday,"
she said. She stood up. I'm
going to fix my hair"
She hurried to the airport.
She took a Los Angeles plane.
She had to get to a little place
called Bondono.
First, because ii was the only
way she could reach Lon to warn
him.
And second, and all the other
reasons were. She wanted to
see him again. She would find
him someway. And there was
something she had to tell him.
That it hadn't just ante up,
1t had been so much more.
$50 much more. so very much
more, she whispered.
Once in a while she could see
lights, far below. She was think
ing: I'm glad Ed came along. |
I'm glad it worked just the way |
it did. 1t showed me. Maybe I'd
never have known. Lon and I. ;.
We're alike. Maybe he killed a
man. That doesn't change him
for me. He helped me when /
didn't know where to turn. When
/ was down and out. But some
how I know now, that didn't
change me for him. I'm so
glad it worked this way.
IT WAS four hours by the bus
from Los Angeles TO Bondono.
1t was tiny little town. 1t
wouldn't be hard to find Lon,
she knew.
She took room in the only
hotel. She changed her clothes
and went to the post office. All
the rest Of the day she waited
there. He didn't come. At night
she went into every cafe. She
looked in every booth. At every
table. She came at last to a tiny
little place, close to the end Of
the main street. She went down
its one smoky aisle. She saw a
figure at table, reading a news
paper. She stopped. Slowly she
smiled. A real smile.
Hello, Lon," she said.
He turned. He looked up. For

"How PERSISTENT should

plaques every conscientious life
insurance agent.
Years ago, it was much harder
to answer that question than it
is today, for the agents efforts
to sell life insurance met with
more resistance. Even now,
however, it remains a problem.
