Mr. Craven, the first thing a de tective has to learn is to dlstin- guish between a true commuulca lion and a spurious one." tl "Yes? Go on." ""1 am not giving a lecture o'l 7Iwl lessons In sleuthing, hut I will lull you one or two mudanu'nUil rVlcs. A kidnaper Is almost in variably an Illiterate mail. Thle isir"t a theory, it Is a proved fact. Therefore, a note from a kidnaper concerning ransom, would nine times out of ten, bu more or less Illiterate In' language or penman shiu The typewriter does away wHh' poor penmanship, of course. Ifltf grammar remains. Now, th--' experienced detective can tell real lapses from grammar as differen tiated from pretended lapses. That 'Illiterate though It sounds, was not written by an Ignoramus, but by one whd pretends to be mi Ignoramus. . First of all, there is rrot probably a human being In the .United i States tfdny. wlio writes the personal pronoun T wath a small letter. Children go to school long enough to learn that, however soon they may leave school after. Tlio same with the other capitals.

'It may well be that the writer of that letter didn't know how to spell "l l.tt.iaolf" '- "Why Isn't il right?" said Hotly " taking the paper to look at, and speaking so innocently that they -.hftd to laugh. "You see," said Stone. "I think thaj word can't be counted one .-way or another, for or against the v- writer who wants us to think him numskull. "The way you put It," Aunt Judy rsaW- after some thought, "I've ile cided not to go out there tonidil." . "Xlieie spejtks ,a wise woman." Stone applauded lier."

' .Mon (jay morning Fleming Stone came down to the dining room in a hopeful frame of mind, and an nounced the fact. "Why are you hopeful?" queried Pete, not with undue curiosity, but with deep interest. "First, because I feel pretty sure we'll get Miss Duane back, and, too, because I hoie to track down the villian who is responsible for her absence." "Have you any Idea who lie Is?" "Frankly, no.

"This Is a house after my own heart," he exclaimed, enthusiastic ally. "If ever I can retire to coun try, or semi-country life, Hllldale for me, and a home as nearly like this as possible. Ho you expect to live here after your marriage?" he asked of Rodney, so casually that the young man could have hugged him out of sheer gratitude.

They're buying Goodyear Tires because right now they can buy them for as little as they used to pay for inferior or un known tires. Why are they singling out Goodyear Tires IT WILL Izaak Walton, according to ' a Htatement issued by the American Automobile Association today. Pointing out that there were more than six million fishing and hunting licenses issued last year, the nutloual motoring body predict ed that ttie number would be great ly increased thia season. The pre diction is based on facta lissembled i by A. A. A. - touring bureaus tame MDUJIES with especial THE GREATEST NAME IN RUBBER PAY YOU TO SEE THE SUPERTWIST - DEMONSTRATION Healy-Wood Tire Co. at Ned Dixon's Super Station throughout the country which show that the demand lor touring Infor mation to fishing localities and the application for fishing licenses is greater thin early in the season than ever before.

The facts certainly are: Good year Tires do give greater value. As far back as 1916, it became a Stephens and Mother gressman Wallace White of Maine, which provides for the establish ment of thirty-one fish hatcheries by the bureau of fisheries, supple menting those already maintained In forty states, with an expenditure of over $3,000,000 in the next five years." the A.

The Goodyear All -Weather Tread is supe rior in traction. The Goodyear Supertwist Carcass is su perior in vitality and long life. On the Highway supplying areas not cared for here tofore, and will be devoted chiefly to game and warm water fish. From these the lakes and streams will be kept stocked as practice of the sport by the constantly increas ing army of fishermen depletes them." . o Fishing tackle at Idieyld Park r)v fact that more people ride on Good year Tires than on any other kind. Every year since that time it has been increasingly true that more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. Today this preference for Good years runs into millions: millions more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. More Goodyear Tires than any other kind annually leave motor car factories on new cars--more Goodyear Tires go into service through the great Goodyear dealer organization more Goddyear Tires are used by transcontinental, urban and interurban buses. There cart be only one conclu sion: Goodyear Tires must be better and at present prices they are a matchless bargain. Now is the time to get yours.
