and they read:
SHE TELLS HER REAL NAME.
The world-famed authors of
that stupendous ballad hit,
Was A'ot Meant For You (pub
lished by Howe and Hamlin,
N. Y.), will open at Slammer
stein's Varieties tonight!!! The
masked empress of lady song
writers, called by royalty the
most beautiful of her sex, will
appear under her own name and
show the face that set a conti
nent agog!
"Say, I hope we kin get washed up
early so we kin go round an ketch
that act," observed the first tenor.
"Quit fretting; you 've got him
now, Sandy, and you can garnishee
the box office for his salary," said
Benny.
An maybe you think I won t! re
turned Sandowlina vindictively,
They returned to Twenty-eighth
Street, where Benny sent for Sammy
Martin.
"I've saw their billin'," said
Sammy despondently; but as Benny
talked Sammy s eyes gleamed with
pleasure, and he said warmly, "Now
you seem like yourself! Why, I '11
kill that act so dead they '11 be buyin
Gates Ajars for 'em."
"Take the whole staff to Slammer-
stein's," said Benny. "Buy seats,
even, to get all of them inside and
well distributed. Boost every other
act on the bill, so that it '11 make it
more noticeable when they 're a frost
I want this masked party to realize
that it 's not so easy to be a riot in
New York as it is coming through the
tall grass. No act can get by on it 's
own merits, anyway not in this
burg. While she "s still sore at the
H. and H. bunch, I '11 sign her for us
and take her out to a nice little sup
per Howe would n't buy her any
thing better than domestic grape, and
she can think about the difference
after we 've shown her the real thing.'
"It 's a pipe to git one o' them turns
up in the air," exulted Sammy.
Wait '11 I git to hissin'! I '11 set in a
stage box pers'nally, an' trun this
dame a nifty bokay, with a wire on
it, you know, an' just as she gloms it
I '11 pull that gits the house to
laughin' an' kiddin', so no pathetic
ballad 'd have a chance."
Benny was deeply affected by his
loyal henchman s enthusiasm, and
told him so.
"If I was a centipede, I 'd run every
leg off for a pal like you, Ben, pro
tested Sammy. He smiled as he
thought of the eventful evening be
fore him.
Sandowlina had gone to dine and
make up for her performance, Benny
agreeing to call for her, so that she
might view her neglectful mate and
his partner. She was not yet aware
of Benny 8 interest in the mask, as,
knowing something of women, he
feared to trust her with the secret.
Love for Walter might send her to
him with a warning.
At eight o'clock, Sammy tele
phoned that the act commenced at
ten, and Benny promised to be pres
ent. It was a few minutes after the
hour when, with Sandowlina, he
greeted the doorkeeper with two ex
pensive cigars, and without further
payment entered the darkened House.
An usher whom he asked for a pro
gram did not hear the request, but
Sandowlina glanced at the stage,
where a stout young man in evening
dress was playing a medley of Howe
and Hamlin airs on a piano, and whis
pered,
"That's Walter oh, my poor
heart, be still!"
Benny smiled grimly.'
"Isn't Walter a handsome man?"
asked Sandowlina.
BENNY did not reply. He was look
ing at Sammy, who half rose, hold
ing a magnificent shower of American
Beauties. A plugger in an opposite
box leaned out, and he too held roses.
In another was Ned Howe, and be

Does the Maker Know
What He is Doing?
S he making six-cylinder cars because he knows
how, or only because the demand created by
another maker's six has forced him to it?
Is he selling his car on the strength of its
proved merit of the car itself?
Success or Experiment?
Is he equipping an intricate and doubtful self-starter
that may cause you a lot of trouble, or is he using one
that has years of success to its credit?
Does he flop about from one type of car, one size,
one price, to another as fast as the seasons change, or
has he shown, by consistently producing some one
standard car, that he has an established policy and a
successful product?
Is He Here to Stay?
Is his crodit good, enabling him to command the best
materials and the best equipment on the market, or must
he buy only where sellers are willing to take a risk on him?
Is his financial standing sound, so that you may rely
upon his guarantee and his promise of service, or is he
likely to be out of business within a month after you buy
his car?

Every Buyer Ought to Know
These are fair, square, necessary questions. Every
car buyer who seeks the best car he can afford to buy,
ought to get the right answers to these questions before
he spends his money.
Don't trust to mere reputation or seeming success.
Remember that the past year has seen the failure of
more than 25 makers who had reputations.
