fortZone"between
the axles.
Be one of the first to enjoy the Dodge

do is to accept your dealer's invitation
to get behind the wheel.

leg' in the rear door.In these 1940 Dodge
cars you just welkin and out as through
a house door. No struggling, no soiling
of pretty dresses. And when you are in-
side, you will see the most harmoni-
ously trimmed interior ever put in a
Dodge car.

creased glass area all around, and the

has no divider strip and the glass is
curved to follow the curve of the body.

chance of his return,
'He may arrive in England any

thoughts, "and I want you to be

At last she -turned and went back
in the direction of the silent cottage,
realising, tar the first time, that
she was nearly exhausted.
She had not slept the night be-
fore, and there was the interview
with Hiram Goldening to face, the
uacessity of keeping him from
following his wife in time to reacba
her before the vessel Bailed. At
once she went to herr own ,room
throwing herself down ou the bed,
and trying vainly to sleep.
It was, not until the afternoon was
well advanced that she tell at last

several hours and dusk had •faileu

She rose at once, glancing swiftly
at the clock.
It was only a little after eight and

change into fresh clothes, having

dashed out, still wearing her high -
heeled shoes of thin glace kid, .and
began to run swiftly towards the
village,
The recollection that the car col-
lecting the mail passed through/ tite
village about this time flashed into
her mind, If she could reaeh the inn
where it halted for a Yew minutes,
as a rule, she could alma1t be cer-
tain of being taken, to the nearest
station, which was some miles dis-
taut.
It seemed hours to her before she
rea,ehed the ` village street, and
psr..tingly she entered the inn yard
to find it empty.
But even then: she did not give up
Imp: until the wife of the landlord,
'a motherly soul with hindtly eyes,
assured her that the twit had gone

"Be it very imperttrlt?" asked the

chair she proffered' with a little
gasping sob of distress.

asked, eagerly. "n must be int

and the woman nodded understand,

"There, you trust not take on so.

the gentleman. He'll take you

She was gone a moment later, and
Mavis sat anxiously waiting until
she, returned. 'Then looked np
with eager eyes.
"It's all right," she was asusred,
with a kindly nod, "The gentleman
says he is at your service, miss, and
he's waitiny, to start now,"
"Thank you very much, I am
ready," '
Sete movquickly forward, and
the woman leded her down a song Pas -
.sage and out into the yard where a
big car was waiting, beside avhich
a tall man was standing.
The car lamps made a patch of
brilliant light and Mavis, • meeting
his eyes, stopped short.
,Fon• the man was Deming Treven

"Yowl"
Trevenma scarcely breathed the
word, and before Mavis could reply

explained. "She'll 0 1 begrateful ' if

then Mavis said, aPPealinglyt—
"It''s Nanny! Her baby's. dydngl"
Trevenara took her arm very
gently and helped her into the car,
The sharp throbbing of the engine

There was a fr•OWn in his eyes and
his face was very stern, but the des-

Mavis tried to murmur her thanks
but the words dledl Ou iter lips, while

glanced at her once or twice, then
asked abruptly-- -
"So you have been with Nancy?"
Mavis nodded wearily. '
"Yes," she returned, "I've been
with her for scene time."
"I'f glad," he said, staring stor.ight
ahead., while the miles slipped' away
and every minute seemed an pour.
,When the starts paled and the
dawn same it found her white and
haggtai'd and trembling with weari-
ness. Duce Preveuna met her
eager eyes.
"Don't worry. Lt will be all right, ..
We're nearly there now. When does
she sail?"` -'
Mavis shook her head, then after
a momervt or two=
I'ur not quite sure," she said.
"Very, very, early, f�-kmow,"
Again there fell a silence, then at
last the car slackened speed,
It seemed to Mavis •that she knew
nothing of what 18418 going on about
her, was aware of nothing more
until she found herself, still with
Trevenna at het' side, on board the
great ship. '
She looked at him in faint in-

moved with her in the direction of

"I'd better stay," he said. I may

Again the wonder dickered across
Mavis's face, and under it shone a
sudden gr'atitud'e and. - she smiled
gratefully, -
"Thank you," she mtu•mured,
Then, on the threshold of Nancy's
suite, site stopped abruptly, ,for
there, standing in the half light, - she
saw Julian Forerstl

For an instant the eyes of the
