; Over Sixty per Cent of Fac-
tory's Capacity Produc
tion is Taxed
The predictions made several
months ago by Mitchell, Lewis &
Stover Co, "Gardner Distributors,
have been realized inasmuch as
. the closed car has dominated the
; motor car market for the paat
few months du partly to the
coming winter season but alp.o to
the increasing popularity of an
all year round unit of transporta
tion. The Gardner Motor Company
of St. Iuis appreciated this ten
dency and planned their produc
tion accordingly, but little did
they realize that the popularity of
the new Gardner1 Sedan and Busi
ness Coupe would tax their pro
duction capacity over CO per cent
as it is now doing.
ine new Gardner closed cars
are being exhibited by the F. V.
Pettijohn Co., 279 N. Commercial
street. One Is a Business Coupe,
an entirely new offering for this
manufacturer, and the other a
five-passenger .Sedan. Consider
ing the construction and appoint
merits of these closed jobs their
prices are of more than passing
interest. The Coupe retails at
f 1 3 4 f annd the Sedan at $15 OS
f. o. b. Salpm.
Both of the new oomea are be
ing put on the market with the
definite purpose o o'fering the
public closed-car service at a
moderate nrice. at the sarrfe time
living all the little
found on cars selling' at higner
figures. They are of sturdy con
struction and free from skimpy
proportions and makeshift mater
ial. The Gardner Business Coup has
been designed to meet a great
demand for a practical caT for
business use ideally fitted for
salesmen, business annd profes
sional" men. Equipped with a
full Coupe body, a vast improve
ment" over the' ordinary Combina
tion top and Roadster body.
The new Sedan represents a de
finite onrnose'' on ths Dart of the
Gardner' .Motor Company, Inc., to
give the pnblic a closed car at a
moderate price, with al! the little
luxuries and tbn durability and
"extras" performance qualities of the high
no tor cur.

"She's prettier than she ever
was, but she doesn't look happy,
somehow."
"Who?" I queried in startled
countering to Dr. "Jim" Paige's
musing comment. then realized
that 1 had no need for his ans
wered "Edie." The big , man's
eyes werefixed upon the pretty
face of his "third or fourth or
ifth cous.'n" atross Aunt Dora
Paige's dinner table, and there
was that in his own face which
told me he had shared the secret
uneasiness with which I had
watched, the wrapt '.coilfidencf)
Edith and Dicky were exchanK-

"Youk know her pretty well,
don't you?" His eyes were bent
on me now. And when I lifted
mine to their cool, gray depths.

that there was something behind
the question, that if in any way
I betrayed my real feeling toward
Edith Fairfax it would wound the
honest heart mirrored in those
eys.

feared I never couldgive to Edith

"I suppose we know each other
better than the great majority of
women do. And you are risht in

Dr. Jim's Uneasiness.
I rpoke only the truth. Edith,
usually pale, was glowing like the
roses in her corsage. She wore a
filmy, gown of cream tint with
garlands of roses printed upon it.
and in her dark hair was fastened
a fillet of cunningly fashioned
satin rosebuds.
"And yet, to r.peak the truth.
you re more beautiful than she
Is." Dr. "Jim" Paige madei this
astounding and to me funny
statement with a face so honest
that after a single, quick glance
I knew he meant it. "Not to me,"
he added hastily, "I reckon you've
guessed there'll never be any
body prettier tlhan .Edie in my
eyes. But I know what people
generally would think. And that's
what makes me wonder Look
here! I'm a rough body; I've no
outness to speak this way, but
why don't you look after your
husband better?; He's no busnness
bringing a lock like that to Edie's
eyes."
I didn't need to glance across
the table to see the look he
meant. I had seen It often enooga

bccaire I had been reasonably
sure that no ansarering kindred
glance was to be seen in those of

"Jim" -or aj. Grantland had
seen more than I had.
''You see, he isn't in love with
her," the astonishing man went
on, ".o I don't see why he should
carry on like that unless he's try
iag to get even with you for
