known also as Caius Sullius, held

wrote: Happy the nose that is nev-

token. an order of chivalry, ignor-
ing ribaldry, exacted in its regula-
tons the agreement that each
member should abstain from garlic
and onions from January to Decem-
ber if he valued companionship.
This strange order existed in Cas-
tile about the middle of the 18th
century and the ban on garlic and
onions was said to have been placed

persuaded her to take expense
money and a weeks salary in

away on business most of the week.
Betty had a feeling this was all the
reference she needed from him.
Jimmy didn't argue. Old Fletcher

referred her to his ex-boss.
But, at parting. qualms began to
wriggle around in Jimmy.

tom. He started home deciding he'd
just tear up those letters Betty had
agreed to send over by messenger.
But the letters weren't there, the
hall man reported. Jimmy thought
that over, feeling as if somebody had
kicked him. Stung again! Neat lit
tie game! That reference he called
up, plant, of course. He ought to
have seen she came out of her
dumps q little too fast! He was a
fine judge Of women!
Jimmy's phone was ringing as he
stumbled into his apartment. ''Mr.
Wheeler?" a remote voice said.
''This is Mr.. A. B. Fletcher's secre-
tary. Could you see Mr.. Fletcher
here tomorrow morning? He didn't
tell me to call you but he spoke
about you today. Said he'd hoped
you'd be over your crouch and back
on your old job before this. I'm just
tipping you off,"
''Well!" Jimmy exploded. "Uh-
say-you're not Miss Moseley?"
''Mr. Fletcher's old secretary?
No. She's left him. I got a feeling
from things I heard at luncheon to-
day there might be a vacancy
where you said you used to work.
And I got feeling you'd be relieved
if 1 found another job. I bought bar
gain clothes and tried it,"
The voice trailed off in silver bells
that could not be disguised. Jimmy
was beyond speech.
"Please don't be mad, Mr..
Wheeler. You saved my life. I'll pay
back your money"
'The devil with the money!" Jim
my suddenly felt all right ''I'n, be

Betty, was his favorite name. By
the time Mike brought second aid,
he had her talking. He liked it. No
whining. She was alone and on her

job-hunting yarns, too; made them
light, set them in a remotish past.
She loved the one about the boss S

Jimmy put the first of these chances
at less than hundred-to-one shots.

that independence day two weeks
ago when his ex-boss had spoken
overwarmly and Jimmy's free soul
chased Jimmy off the payroll.
AS for the Plucked Chicken, jim

And let me know if anything
turns up" Jimmy finished. He won-

dred-buck reserve would stand, as
he followed Miss Bonds wake.
The girl was waiting for the ele-
vator, fragile arm braced against
the wall. The dim light here
softened the cheek-bone, hid worry
lines and ash-grey bleakness. Why
she was class, a beauty once, be-
fore she began starving to death!
The elevator came and she swayed
toward it, would have fallen If
Jimmy hadn't caught her.
THANK you. I'm clumsy!"
Her face Lit and Jimmy looked
into deep violet eyes. Then face and
eyes went dead again. She'd keel
over on the street, he worried. No
breakfast probably. He must do
something quick. At the street door
Jimmy clutched the germ Of an
idea.
Pardon me. Aren't you Miss

said you might do letter or so for

Do Not Spare the Oil

Many household machines have
moving parts that depend on oiling
or proper fabrication for their good
operation. Quite a few appliances
have no parts to oil, as the elec-
trio iron and toaster. But where
fabrication is required the kind Of
fabrication and frequency Of appli-
cation should be well understood.
This is always explained in the in
struction book that comes with the
appliance. The sewing machine oil
can serves most household purposes.

First Wooden Rails

Earliest railroads in the United
States were built of wooden rails
capped with thin strips or straps"
Of iron to provide running surface
for the wheels. These were called
"strap-rails." Iron rails 18 feet in
length were imported from England
as early as 1881, and by 1845 or
1850 most railroads were being built
of iron rails. First Bessemer steel
rails manufactured in the United
States were rolled at Chicago, May
Is, 1865. and by 1880 about 80 per
cent of all tracks in the United
States was laid with steel rails.
