For Elizabeth, instead of. looking her usual radiant, self, had reddened eyes and lips that dropped unhappily. "What's }wrong?" "N -n -nothing." ,She prayed it by sitting down on the terrace balcony and bursting into tears. Jimmy Carlow looked at her help- lessly, • "This .m -marring;" she gulped, "a letter came from a hateful firm or solicitors: in London., It seems that a man* father stead security far years and years ago has stolen a 'bundle of securities and bolted, and the irwner of the securities has come on father for the money.

But there isn't a hope of his succeed- ing. And then it will mean selling the Manor -land everything!" "But there's no' dashed need," protested Jimmy. "Absolutely none. All yosr father has to do is to lot me wade in " "Don't, Jimmy. After all the hor- rid things he's said, He'd never bor- row the money, anyway, from any one he's quarrelled with, especially when the quarrel was about me," "If only we'd eloped!" sighed Situ - my. "But I didn't want to elope, At least, not .badly enough....Jimmy. have you ever beard the story of Sir Julian's treasure?" Jimmy shook his head. "Well, it happened in George the Third's reign. The owner of the house was robbed of a frightfully valuable collection of gold and silver plate by a footman, who packed the things in a tin box, buried the box in the garden, and left directions tor an accomplice to dig it up again when the excitement had died down. "There's a lock of sorbs But it's Then the robbers quarrelled. Allen so rotten that----?" Jimmy complet- -•the accomplice ---killed the footman, ed the sentence with a wrench that the fled without discovering whore sent the lid flying back. Together they bent aver the box.

N. beyond shadow, 10 o' the c. 3 ft. down," "How frightfully thrilling!" brea- thed Elizabeth. fingering the paper. "I wonder what it means?" "Why shouldn't the tree stand for the big one you can see from here, and the circle behind it far the moon?" "Or the sun?" "No -there's no rays indicated. Besides, the treasure wouldn't.' have beenhidden in broad daylight, Six feet beyond shadow at 10 o'clock at night, and three feet down and you've got it" "Jimmy, you're genius! Let's' go and look." Jimmy shook his head. The moon isn't full until temorsrow. We don't want to make a hash of things. But be a sport. Swear you won't go prowling off on a treasure hunt on Year own." "Of course, not," said Elizabeth. Jimmy carne round to dinner the next day. At ten minutes to ten by Jimmy's watch they left their seats on the verandah, and borrowing a spade from the tool -shed, crossed the grass to the big elm indicated on the plan. Six feet from the shadow brought them to a bare patch of earth. Jimmy attacked it vigerensly. For a ;space Elizabeth stood watching and. then retreated to where the twisted roots of the tree made a seat. Suddenly the edge of the spade clinked. "The box!" cried Elizabeth.

The footman had told him that he'd drawn a plan showing the exact hiding -(place of the box and concealed it among the ivy at the back of the house. They searched for it, but it was never discovered." If the treasure was found now, would it belong to your father?" Elizabeth nodded. "But no such luck," she sighed. The moon was rising when Jimmy paid his next visit to the Manor. Elizabeth, a slim, forlorn figure m grey, was standing in the terrace. "Any news?" he asked. "A. telegram from father, saying that he's starting tonight for Edin- burgh." "Hard luck I say, I've got an idea. Why shouldn't we improve the. shining hour by having a treasure - hunt on our own?" Elizabeth frowned. "What would be the use, when we haven even the instructions?" "We might find them." "It isn't a bit likely, considering the number of people who've already searched. However, if you're really keen----" Elizabeth moved without enthusiasts towards the house. "That wing on the left -the servants' wing -is the alder one." "Any idea what floor the servants would !lave been sleeping on when the robbery happened?" 'rhe first, The third storey was not added until fifty years ago." "Right -ho•! Now assuming that our villianous footman lodged on the first floor, isn't it on the earls that he'd shove his papers of instructions as far down as he could reach and where the other chap could abstract it without attracting attention? How often is the ivy outside :clipped?" "Nut often. It hasn't been done far ages." "I suppose we can get 'from one of the upper rooms on to that bal- cony?" ' • "I . suppose so," said " .Elizabeth, and,, still reluctant, led the way into the house and up to a Ianding, and 'from the landing into a little one- time boudoir. Jimmy unfastened the window and stepped on to the, narrow balcony. "There are heaps of crevices m the brickwork," he remarked. "It wants repainting," said Eliza, beth. "Mind the railings' don't give way :they're awfully rusty. Would- n't you like something to explore with?' "Hero's a curtain rod. Don't fall off the !balcony." The rustling sounds hi the ivy sud- denly ceased, "Betty) Did footmen use snuff- boxes in George the Third's reign?" "Dare ray they did. Have you found one?"

And as Jimmy turned, an electric lamp challenged the moonlight, and a large palicensan revealed himself. "What's--" he began, and then, disgustedly. "Ort, it's van again!" Elizabeth spoke. "Is that Sergeant Perkins?" "Yes, miss. Didn't see you before. I happened to •he cycling along the lane, and heard a clinking noise, same as I heard last night-----" "Wihat do you mean by---?"

"It's no use trying to wriggle out of it. I want to know exactly what happened." Elizabeth turned again to the unhappy sergeant. "There's precious little to tell, miss. I happened to copse along .on my rounds 'bout eleven, and see a light glimmering under the tree here. So I slipped across. And there was Mr. Carlow, digging away, with the tin box beside him.. Not recog- nizing the gentleman, I thought at first it was a burglar getting busy with the loot. But Mr. Carlow ex- plained that he was only burying the stuff as a joke, and that it was all his own, properly paid for." "Thanks far explaining," said Eli- zabeth. "Good night." "Good night, miss. Good night, 3Vlr, Carlow. Sorry if I've done the wrong thing." The sergeant moved heavily away in the darkness. "There's nothing ,i man say, of course. live behaved like an ass.

It pays the rents and the salaries and all the other costs of all stores in our city. It informs the owners of these storey what to buy and at what price to sell. And it demands from ail retailers a communication service -moaning news of what re- tailers have in stock, and what their prices are. And of course it does most of its business with those retailers who report to it regu- larly and fully -by the agency off advertisements in our newspaper, And if any retailer says -cin effect -"I'll not give you -the real own- ers of my business --zany niformation about my business," then the buying public says -in effect-e"Right you are. As for us, we shah go in largest numbers• to those retailers who communicate to us regularly and adequately via the medium of our local newspaper." This way o3' putting it is not just fanciful. It is stern fact. Retailers who decline to maintain communication with the public by means of the newspaper which it reads lose business to those who are faithfully connnunicative, :Some retail business is languishing today unnecessarily. Its attitude to the public is wrong. It says in effect -to the public. "You come and find us," and the publika attitude is: "You tell us about your business and your merchandise. You are our employee. Report to us regularly and adequately on how you are serving us. Tf you •convince us that you are our faithful and efficient servant, well keep on employing you, and will pay you well." The way of making a business grow and making it healthy is as plain as is the nose on one's face.
