SYNOPSIS Three weeks after a Crean} colored roadster had been found wrecked in. the sea at the foot of a cliff, a girl calling herself Anne Gushing appears at the desert town' l'farston. She has bought, sight unseen, a ranch located thirty miles away. Soon after her ar- rival she marries Barry Duane, her nearest neighbor. Against her better., judgment she accompanies her hus- band East. Mrs. Duane is bitterly re- sentful of Anne. 'Wealthy Oleo Pen- dleton, her obvious choice, vows re-. venge. Anne recognizes a man loit- ering on the Duane grounds. Later Barry tells Anne John Gage is the real head of the Duane/mills. He fails to note her frozen silence. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "She handled the blonde rather well," Riddle remarked absently. "Well, that was a mistake." "A very natural one." Riddle seem- ed absorbed in his ball.

She gave him a desperate little hug as he kissed her goodbye. q The morning mail came as he left, and Matthews handed her some let-. ters. There was one envelope that she looked at twice. She hurried to her room and tore the envelope open. I must see you again, It's im- portant. I am going in to town on Wednesday and will meet you at the^ Roswell, on Seventh, at two o'clock sharp.

If Mr. Barry should call up later, tell him where I have gone. He can have me paged at the Plaza, any time after three." Barry was talking hard. He had waited over three hours for this aud- ience. Gage listened and grunted. "Oh, it's that, is it? Thought you'd given up that nonsense by this time." "It isn't nonsense, 10. Gage. It's horse sense.

She stammered, stiffening and try- ing to smile, as he came grimly to- ward them, his face set and a white line of fury around his lips. Barry looked past Kennedy as though he had not been there. "If you have finished," he said "it will not be necessary for your—com- panion—to see you home." Anne arose slowly, but Kennedy's. chair had already rasped back. He was on his feet, a dark glitter in his eyes. "Iligh handed, aren't you? You must think you're pretty damned im- portant, if nobody can have a busi- ness interview with your wife with- out your permission." "You'd better consider it finished. Cat out!" The voice was low, but the words were bitten off and flung. For a moment longer, they stared at each other, Barry's face flinty in its tight restraint, Kennedy's faintly jeering. Then his shoulders moved expressive- ly. Kennedy had too much at stake. to risk ruining everything by a pub- lic row with Nancy's husband. Ile bowed to Anne. "Thank you for the interview, Ma- claine, in case I do tot see you again." He walked deliberately away. Anne broke the silence that was suffocat- ing. "Well?". she demanded.

It is something like the tortoise and the hare. The race in business is not to the swft, nor to the clever; nor to the brilliant man, but to the man who is most diligent—to the man who keeps on doing his plain duty. You are a retailer. You want to get on. Yore, want to swell each day's sales. Well, you will; sell more each day if you ask! ask! ask! buyers to buy your goods. You can hardly go round canvassing homes and buyers face to face. This practice would be too costly, though undoubtedly would be effective. But you can use newspaper advertising; in this way you can do. your asking for business. You are not required by the buying public to do smart advertis- ing. The .public doesn't like smart or clever adver- tising. dver- tisin gg . The public just wants to be informed about what you have to sell; and if you will add reasons why the public should buy what you offer, then you will get more customers. The public wants informa- tion, and it won't object to a little urging.
