tiny in an intcrincdiury singe ukulnw
the effect of which her lovely anils
and neck and h.ulr struggled in vain.
Kite was dowdy. With Melvin that was
'fatal. His nagging, Instead hf effect
ing amendment to her hahit. spoiled
her temper and 'killed her affection.
Their feeling being mutual. they sep
arated. ? 'inhere was talk of divorce, but 'j
that was deferred. Mrs. Melvin wag
left to her own devices, Melvin sought
distraction in journeys to tliO/^Vest,'
where he had large Interests; Vet the
vision of Mrs. Melvin In her most at
tractive state was always' hefoYe him.
He wn? constantly looking for arms,
a neck nnd hair like hers, hul. hiaJ
search was In vain.
Coming Kast late one night, Melvin
hoarded a through train which was
Hugged for him ut a way stution.
Among all the pullmaus there was but
one vacant berth? an upper. He was
dispirited. He. had been very active.
The Walt for the train had wearied
him.
('?limbing to his berths h slight open*
ing in the curtain startled and en
chanted him. He caught a glimpse of
a vision. Yes, more than a glimpse,
for what the mind has loug dwelt upon
the eye records 'at meeting with the
detail and fidelity of a camera.
A woman In the dower berth had ap
parenily become so absorbed. In *. hook
that she"T7jnk no note of time. She
was half reclining, facing the window,
with the, electric light upon the page
she was devouring. From a dainty
boudoir cap a bint of the wonder of
her hair escsped, and her neck and
arms fascinated Melvin. Her charms
even surpassed those of Mrs. Melvin.
"Anything de matfah, boss?" asked
the porter, who was h?bllng a ladder
for Melvln.
He had stumbled on a step. It was
deliberate. It gave him another frac
tion of a moment for observation. The
charming woman di<} not move. The
page under her pretty thumb must
have been engrossing.
Mel via did not sleep for hours. A
iiae of light no thicker than a hair
was projected through some negli
gence of the porter to Meivin's eye
from below. ' He watched it while his
mind wove a fabric. If this woman
should prove to he single he would
pay court to her. A divorce was but
a detail. If she were married, why
shouldn't he do the saint"? She Was I
his fate !
The light disappeared. Toward
morning Melvln fell into slumber. He
dreamed he was in a train wreck, and
awoke with a ?t,art. The train was still
in motion. He had an impression that
the lower berth was empty. It was.
He performed the acrobatic feats that
precede departure in seemly guise
frotu an tipper and made his way to
the men's room. A 'surreptitious
glance between curtains into the lower
herth had disclosed feminine detail,
among other things a picture hat. He
was happy. She had not left the train.
Melvln met the porter. Into whose
hand he slipped a coin. "Do you mind
telling me." he asked, "the destina
tion of the lady In lower seven?"
"She's fo' N'York. In the Indies'
room now, stih."
As he shaved, Melvin hummed an air
with the Joy of a discoverer. Slick
nud dapfb^r, ic.Avent. rearward lo the
dining car. Then he had another idea.
Assisting hijj waiter to palm a dollar
he aaid carelessly:
"A lady will cwne In presently to
breakf/MT? -a hsndymne woman with
wonderful hair. Site will wear a large
hat. You can't mistake her. Please
reserve a seat for iter opposite me."
"All right, sir." The waiter wan not
at first clear In his mind as to what tt
might mean. Then came the ifl^a that
the lady must be the handsome half of
a bridal rouple. Such person*, he well
knew, sometimes reveal themselves by
a studied carelessness. And this no
tion persisted with him Moreover, a
dollar tfp preliminary mean' sonj^
thing worth while ?uhse<piently.
Met vin took hi? ?<eMt facing ih*? reai
of the car. 11^ felt timt he might be
tray hit* anxiety and defeat his plan
If he should faee the floor through
which sin- mnsi ?ni?*r. The waiter
turned the facing ?-halr.
"I'd rather you wouldn't do that."
said Melvln. "Try to m?uvig?- It as
though 1t just happens." The c?r wa?
tilling, but an interested waiter may
l*erforn? prodigies.
The infatuated man * 4* *heg>M taring
grapefruit when he felt a presence. He
kept his eyes down. The waiter Kent??d
a lady with the remark :
**Yc?. sir. All rlcht. *ir?''
Melvin looked up to meet the amused
fiance of Mrs. Met via.

Double the Mileage
at Half the Cost
Only a few years ago a 32 x 4
cord tire listed over $50.00. Today,
you can buy the highest quality
32 xA tire ? a Firestone Gum
Dipped Cord ? for about $26.00.
Last spring crude rubber cost tire
makers around 40 cents a pound.
? Today, it is over 90 cents a pound.
It was not so long ago that 7,500
miles represented the average life
- of a cord tire, while today, 15^000
miles ? and more ? is only the
usual performance for a Firestone
Gum -Dipped Cord.
Due to large, concentrated pro
duction, specialized machinery and
simplified factory methods, together
with economical distribution, Fire
stone is able to keep tire prices low
? no matter where the price of
miles by using Gum-Dipped Cords.
Gum-Dipping is an exclusive
method used by Firestone. It is an
extra process, carried out in special
Gum -Dipping plants, after which
the cords are put through the usual
calendering machines. Gum -Dip
ping insulates and impregnates
- every fiber of every cord with rub
ber, and practically eliminates in
ternal friction and heat, and builds
strength and endurance into t^e tire ,
In the day- in and day-out serv
ice of taxicabs, buses and trucks
? on the cars of hundreds of thou
sands of motorists everywhere ?
Gum-Dipped Cords are giving
unheard-of mileage, dependability
and satisfaction.

crude rubber goes.
And, because of special
Firestone processes, chief
among which is Gum-Dip
ping, motorists are today
getting thousands of extra

bad roads. Assure yourself
of greater safety, comfort
and economy by equipping
