Her vision was slightly obscured by a mist as she watched his stooped shoulders and the suit which would have fitted him three years before, but which sagged grotesquely now. She closed her eyes momentarily as though to 6hut out sight and re membrance of that rhythmic short tread: the scraping clump of his feet left, right, left, right eyes on the ground directly before him; every moment, every hunted. sullen look, proclaiming the pris on stigma. Bob walked toward the center ot the city, less than two miles distant. He wanted to rid his mind of Lois before he met any one else. His brain could not ac commodate two thoughts at one time. Not yet. Three years be fore he had been rather nimble mentally; but prison had crippled his thought processes while it softened his muscles. Lois annoyed him. He hated the fact that she was Peter Bor den's daughter. He loathed her pity. But he liked her and he didn't want to like anybody who was close to Borden. He desired no dilution of his hatred. But he knew that the slim girl was genuinely sorry for him: Damn It! So was her father. Peter Borden was always conscientious. He had been conscientious when he testified against Bob Terry a the embezzlement trial and had sent him to prison on the damning strength of his testimony. It nev er occurred to Bob that the old man was suffering torture now in the revealing knowledge of the havoc wrought by his conscien tlousnesa. Bob Terry thought only two things as his feet beat evenly on the pavement. One was that he bated Peter Borden. The other was that he wished he did not respond so instinctively to the eager friendliness of Lois. And he wished oh, God! how he wished that she would stop be ing sorry for him. Paying YOU - the Rent Prevented Eviction Service, serving you, is the rent we pay for the space we occupy in life. Failure to pay this service rent means eviction from business life. Fail to serve, fail to give, fail to pay the service rent, and the community evicts by withholding its support. Because our paramount interest has always been how much we could give rather than how little, because we have always paid our service rent promptly and with full values, this community's support has been gained and retained from the first day of our business life. THE PEOPLE OF SALEM HAVE RECOGNIZED THE UNUSUAL SERVICE IDEAL WHICH DIRECTS OUR POLICIES IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THIS COMPANY HAS THE UNUSUAL RECORD OF A CONTINUAL GROWTH OF OVER 50 PER CENT PER YEAR for the past 4 years, which is our business life in Salem. Growth like this is only possible where full value, full measure is given, and where mistakes which are bound to ocir, are made right without stint or reserve. We hope to merit your confidence in the future as well as in the past, and in this spirit of service we will con tinue to grow with Salem. Hillman Fuel Co.

Bob nodded and the man knew without further question that this pallid young man was one with him in spirit. An office boy inquired the na ture of Bob's business and Terry handed him the letter of introduc tion to Kathleen Shannon. The boy was competent and polite. He invited Bob to have a seat and vanished. Terry selected a chair next to the beetle-browed man, and instantly that individual spoke, ln a voice which was hoarse and rasping, yet somehow pleasant. "Xo. buddy." It did not occur to Bob to re sent this familiarity of a marked criminal. He merely nodded and tried to smile, tne result being a bleak contortion of his Hps.
