THI COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., FEBRUARY 22, 1945 Trfcfay Specialt \VARSTAMPS.2B* SAIADA TEA The Jade God By MARY IMLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER X "Not so deep," Teddy asured him affably; "I got five hundred out of Landon on a wager, got it cold!" and he laughed uproariously, suddenly recalling Landon's rage at subsequent events. Fosdick swung his chair around and eyed him viciously: "You're a young reprobate," he observed dryly, "what was the wager about?" I didn't know Landon could afford to lose that much." "Lose it?" Banks laughed again. REWARD PROMISED if you serve Maxwell House Coffee to your family tonight. They'll just love you for it! Comes in an All Purpose Grind which suits any type of coffee maker* Here's triple-acting speedy relief from MUSCULAR PAIN Don't be miserable. Don't suffer another minute from muscular ache or pain. To get quick relief, all you need do in many cases, is take a fast-acting Instantine tablet. Instantine goes to work immediately--acting in three ways to give you comfort: 1. Speedily eases pain. 2.

I o product of The Bayer Co.; Ltd. "He did more than that -- he burnt five hundred dollars up in a rage--" Fosdick, who valued money and had had to work for it, stared hard at young Banks. "He's drunk," he decided, frowning at him darkly. But Teddy, enjoying his own joke at Landon's expense explained. He explained in detail, even to the fijht in the smoking-room and the holocaust of the money. * * 5)C "Mrs. Lynn had frozen me out. She's down on me and I vowed I'd get even. I have! She's invited the fellow in and had him to dinner. And now," he gurgled with mirth, "Landon's black with rage because he's making love to Pamela Rodney! Landon's dead set that way himself, and he can't do a thing.-- not a bally thing! Mrs. Lynn would fire him if she found out he'd brought a fellow in out of the st.'eet, you know; he might have been a whitewing, anything, on a wager!" Fosdick, who had listened in sheer astonishment, found the key to Pam and Mark in the.tearoom. He knew at once how the girl had been fooled. He reddened to his scanty gray hair; he ought to have told Burleson yesterday! * * * "You deserve a thrashing, you young reprobate!" he said to Teddy Banks, with the candor of an old man who had been a friend of Teddy's grandfather and guardian of the Banks money fo. thirty odd years. "You and Landon both deserve to be sent up for disorderly conduct! You've done a pretty piece of work between you. You don't happen to know the man you introduced into Burleson's house, to Lis sister-in-law and his niece, do you? Of course not! You picked up a man in the street and Landon palmed him off on them as a friend of his! That's the idea a friend of his and yours, too?" Teddy laughed comfortably. "Not on your life! I don't come into it; Mrs. Lynn had cut me out. It's up to Landon." "Up to Landon -- Yes!" thundered the old lawyer, striking his fist on his desk, "but it's up to you, too,, because you made the RHEUMATIC Aches and Pains If just one bottle of Ru-Ma does not show you the quick, easy way to g-et real relief from rheumatic aches and pains, it costs you nothing1.

D'you know now?" .Teddy waved his walking-stick airily. "Search me!" he said. * * * Fosdick leaned over his desk and thrust his gray face* forward until the lgiht caught the ugly glitter in his eyes. "I'll tell you what you did, you young idiot you," he said sharply; "you and Landon picked up an ex-convict in the. street and sent him into a friend's house, sent him to meet a pure young girl --an ex-convict, d'you hear?" Teddy Banks stood gaping in sheer amazement, his mouth open. "Oh, I say!" he gasped, "aren't you putting it on too thick? The fellow's a good looking chap, pretty decent sort -- looks like a gentleman." Fosdick uttered an inarticulate exclamation. "I know him very well," he said grimly; "I've known him for years. I knew him when he was sent up; he was seventeen years old -- a good looking young chap then. He's served his time and he's out. Just the same, he's an ex-convict and you and Landon sponsored him. ' * * ■ * The venom in Fosdick's voice rarried conviction. Banks stared at him, sobered; he even turned a little pale. "Say!" he lowered his voice apprehensively; "what was he up for?" "Murder!" Fosdick shot the word out with such violence that the young man jumped. "Murder ---killed his old uncle for his money; rapped him over the head in his office and tried to clear himself aferwards and couldn't." Teddy Banks looked glumly at Fosdick, hardly daring to believe what he had heard.--incredible!-- this fellow, this Mark Grant, had murdered his uncle for money! For the first time Banks was seized with qualms of conscience. "Why didn't they hang him?" he cried suddenly angry at the chance the convict had had to undo them all. It was a beastly shame not to have hung him and prevented it! "Circumstantial evidence," Fosdick growled; "he got sixteen years. Good conduct let him out some nine months earlier. For all that, he's guilty". Banks groaned "I say -- I never thought of such a thing!" he admitted reductantly red with shame. The lawyer nodded grimly. "Of course not! But you and Landon pick up a street tramp--a fellow who hadn't a penny of his own that night. I happen to know that much; and turn him loose in a friend's house--to make love to an innocent* young girl." the old man stormed. "You deserve a drumhead courtmartial instead of the check I've got here for you," he added, holding out a slip of paper. For the first time in his life, Banks pocketed a check without a grin of satisfaction. He seized it, picked up his hat and made for the door. "See here," Fosdick called after him, "you tell Landon I want to see him--hear me?" But Banks was already at the elevator. He was panting like a man who had been running. He reached the pavement in time to hail a taxi and fling an address at the driver. In his excitement he paid the taxi-driver to make better speed by a side street and reached Landon's lodgings in the nick of time; he found him 'just leaving. "Hello, Ted," said he coolly, "I'm going out--gof anything so show to keep me?" "You bet your sweet life I have!" Banks seized him- by the arm and drew him away from the door. "You come back to your rooms; Fve got something that'll knock you cold!"

Clarke Here are the answers to a few questions that have come my way from readers of this column. Mrs. CP.--You were inquiring as to the kind of fuel we use in our furnace. The answer is coal--with the required amount of coke mixed in. And note this: We have heated the whole house this year--eleven rooms--and by the end of the winter we expect we shall have used only one ton more of coal than would have been required by our three stoves, and which would have heated only half the house. And let me tell you we think the comfort and convenience we enjoyed this winter has well repaid us for that extra ton of coal. So you are undecided about installing a furnace. Well I could hardly takejt on myself to advise you--so much depends upon the size and compactness of your house. A small house. Ours is a hot air furnace--with pipes-- in fact there are so many pipes sprouting from the top of it that it looks to me like a huge permanent wave machine! Of course if money is no object a hot water heating system is just about tops for any kind of house. Since you have plenty of wood--lucky you!--I am sure you would find it quite as satisfactory as coal for a furnace providing you were advised by a good plumber as to the best type of furnace to install for that purpose. *fc^~ * * * Mrs. W. S.--I was simply thrilled to hear your son Charlie is on his way home. I am so happy for you--and for Charlie and his wife and small daughter. Sharon is certainly the sweetest wee thing. I hope you will all have a very happy and satisfactory reunion. * * * J.W.--We were pleased to receive your card although we were puzzled for quite awhile as to the identity of the sender. Finally Partner recognised your writing. We still have plenty of snow around here. Young John has to hitch up the team every morning to take the milk to the road--and then goes over for our neighbour's milk cans as well* Not much sense in two teams being harnessed when one can do the job for both. *. * * And speaking of taking milk to the road reminds me of a letter I received from my sister in Toronto a few weeks ago. She wrote of the unpleasantness and inconvenience of city transportation these winter days. So much snow! Such ruts! And no way of knowing when the next street-car will come along. And then she adds "It isn't so bad for you people in the country because you always have your horses to get you around!" How little city and country people understand each Other's difficulties! No doubt the going has been pretty tough this winter even in the city. But at least apartment dwellers can be reasonably sure of getting their milk, 1 bread and mail delivered each day, whereas in the country where roads Tortured man gets help!
