"IVHY did you tell Ella the looked
' 'well In her cap. dear?" Bob
asked.
"Became, Bob, she (elt she didn't
grace caps," Marsha answered
quickly. "Of course she doesn't;
you know bow her caps will ride
with one deck under witer."
"You haven't It yet," he went on,
"why did you tell her that gruesome
He that makes me turn shuddering
from you?"
"Because she felt badly about
her caps and the Inebriated way
they will look, skidding 'round on
her two hairs."
"Well, don't yon see, dearest?" he
asked. Ehe didn't; she shook her
bead, looking up at him. Her eyes
were wide; So often to him she was
I pitiably baffled child; he leaned
A little later he said, angrily, as
her hands grew quiet on the keys,
"My Lord, what does your aunt
want? You play exquisitely!"
Those were quiet, sane days that
did not drag; daya that hurried by
with nothing of exciting nature in
them "to pass the time."
The weather was rarely mild.
They walked the beach arm In arm;
sometimes they talked, again they
were silent They drove over the
hills, played chess, read. She played
the piano for him to find her heart
swell as she realized he liked to
listen.
No, she had never before known
what It meant to be happy; but she
knew certainly that It could not
last
"How could It," she reflected,
"considering all I've done; all I
can't do or be because of all I"ve
done!" And thinking thus, terror,
an Icy deluge, would nil her heart
Geoffrey Tarleton became a re
mote wraith of the Inferno she bad
known. She held bis memory close,
however, and deliberately. He
would be well matched with her,
her aunt had said; her aunt had
said that his was an almost equal
depravity.
No, this life with Bob could not
last She must not let herself dre.i:n
"You pliy exquisitely!"
i. i.ard, kissed the tip of her nose,
sat back.
He tried ...a uot to bother
her much; he felt she was a little
happier when he seemed but gay,
"When lies are made to make
people happier," he stated, "the
Jewel expert In heaven burrlea to
get another jewel for the Unr'a
crown. . , . See? You know, when
we telephoned mother last night
and I said, 'I'm missing you?'"
"Yes."
"Well, you know, dear child. I
couldn't miss even my very dear
mother just now, because life Is
well, you know, anyway. 1 said that
You knew I lied; Mother probably
knew; but she understood what
was back of the Ha. You did know I
Hed, didn't you?"
"No. I didn't. But I wasn't jealous,
at all. Bob."
He could not always be light and
gay; be held her close prossed to
him for a short second.
"No." he agroed, voice tightened
and short "1 know you weren't
Jealous. You would not be. I heard
you ask Ella In the most round
about dlgnlflert and clever way the
other day, whether 1 seemed quite
normal. You wanted to know
whether you were making me hap
py, now didn't you?"
"Yes," she admitted.
"The curious thing to me," be
said slowly, seriously, "Is that you
don't know snytblng of how rarely
selfless and dear and generous and
fair you are. You are so beautiful
in all ways I I don't know how
I'll ever equal you."
CHE broke In. and close to sharp
J ly. His fnlth lu her, she could
not benr. "Oh, don't, Boh!" she ap
pealed. She did not like him so well when
be was not light and gay, he knew.
"Well," ha said, with a squaring
of shoulders, "last's that; but 1 feel
that way and can't help It But you
don't need to brood on It! Go play
your 'piece.' "
that It could, she reminded herself.
Sbe had, by constant compromise,
made herself fabric for tbe wife of
Geoffrey or of some one like Geof
frey. She could never be, and with
all trying, tbe suitable wife for Bob;
and she knew It too well1
A T the end of the weel. .. aa
to wonder whother Bob could
love her If be knew why she bad
become bis wife, The question per
sisted; grew strong; It turned her
silent often and It led her to look at
him questlonlngly.
"Tired of me?" he asked on one of
these occasions.
She wanted to answer with a vio
lent "I shall never be tired of you!
A lifetime won't give me enough of
youl I'm a secondrate, shoddy
piece, but no one could love you so
well, If that counts."
She said, "Not exactly." Drawled
It.
He had been standing by the
hearth; tapping bricks with an
emptying pipe. He turned to settle
on the broad arm of ber chair; "I
am beginning to know you;" be
said slowly. (Sbe felt his band on
her hair; be was always so gentle!)
"And I know you wanted to say
more, but old habits cling! Am I
right?"
"Yes," she admitted. Within, she
said to him, panic at heart. "Don't
know me too well!"
He said, "A little gain, dearest
one!" She felt him kiss her hair
and then he rose. And again before
the hearth ha Oiled his pipe wltb
great particularity and gave to it
bla entire attention.
If, Instead of looking slightly pep
turbed sho were to sny, "You doart
I feel that way too!" Or perhaps,
with a touch, make him understand
that she knew what ell his noun-

STAMINA TESTS
"The trail of the taxlcah Is a
proving ground In Itself! Day In and
day out, in all weathers, the wheels
of the taxlcab write the true facts
about stamina and dependability In
a motor car."
That atatement came yesterday
from C. M. Hurd of Rogue River
Chevrolet, Inc., aa a prelude to his
announcement that a San Francisco
taxi service has purchased seven new
1934 "knee action" Chevrolet sedans
for use in the San Francisco bay
region.
A schedule of severe and ex
haustive testa preceded the selection
of Chevrolet.
In the actual locale In which the
cabs operate, on hill with mountain-like
gradients , and on the
roughest type of rail crossings, scores
of test miles declared the efficiency
of Chevrolet braking, acceleration,
deceleration, speed In all gears, read
ability and economy.
"What amounted to 'allde rule'
methods of checking performance,
were applied to the Chevrolet cars."
the Chevrolet executive explained.
"The San Francisco firm had lengthy
records of maintenance to base con
clusions upon, and It had the choice
of all America's manufacturers to
teat. That Chevrolet wa selected Is
a tribute, I believe, of deep signifi
cance to every prospective purchaser
of an automobile.
"Three factors, In the final anal
ysis, guided the preference for Chev
rolet. The first was knee action
wheels. Public stamp of approval for
the new gliding ride, and Its com
plete efficiency In the rigid taxi
testa, settled that Issue. The second
wa economy. The record ahowed that
Chevrolet fuel economy atood alone.
Meager upkeep cost, founded on tbe
fundamental of a motor car that
did not need replacing, conclusively
proved the point. The third consid
eration wa ease of operation. The
taxi company knew that ease of con
trol meant the ability of the driver
to pilot hi cab speedily and still
extend the greatest 'courtesy of the
road" to others. The Chevrolet, with
large cable control brakes, and
smooth, rugged clutch, provided aure
nes of control along with nlmblenes
of action."
