One year ago, this car sold for $1035. This is an additional reduction since the reduction of 42 per cent recorded from September, 19ZU. to September, 1921, a total re duction ot 47 per cent in a year and a "half, the most radical re duction n motor car prices in the history of the automobile indus try.

These new prices place Over land and Willys-Knight cars in the front price rank in their classes.

But Harry Underwood who appears to do his devil-may-care motor riving equally well with one hand or two, had taken in evr ery detail of the physician's car and its occupants before he turn ed off his engine.

But the look tn his eyes, half-mocking, hatf-eoldly suspicious, brought the Justifying explanation out against my will. His face cleared, but the mock ing laughter remained. "Lucky Doc!" he said, then lowered his voice. "Better trade escorts! No? Well, you always were a croo-el dame. And, be siJes I've got to interview Mrs. T cer myself. Did you find her lo-ouacious?"
