-Weil, wbot do you want! Wo will
both hare a memory, a eery sweet,
nice memory, won't we? Believe me.
ITa better so. Ton don't want to have
anything to do with a girl like me.
Too don't know anything about me,
and you see the kind of people. I'm go-
ing with. Perhaps 1 am .Jus! us bad
as they."
"Don't say that, Ueraa," 1 Interposed
sternly; "you're all that's good ami
pure and sweet."
"No, I'm not, either. We're all ot
us pretty mixed. But I'm uot so bad.
and It's nice of you to thluk those
things. . . . Oh! if 1 had never
come on this terrible trip! I don't
even know where we are going, nnd
I'm afraid, afraid."
"Well, Berna, It It's like that, why
don't you and your grandfather turn
back? Why go on?"
"Me will never turn back. He'll go
on till he dies. He only knows one
word of ISngUsh and that's Klondike,
Klondike. He mutters it i thousand
times a day. He's like u ' it's
crazy. He thinks he has b • u.
and that to him will a great treasure
be revealed. You might as well rea-
son with a stone. All I can do Is to
follow him, Is to take care of him."
"What about ihe WlnUlestolns.
Berna ?"
"Oh. they're at the bottom of It all.
It is they who have inflamed his rulud.
He has a little money, the savings of
a lifetime, about two thousand dollars;
and ever since he came to this coun-
try, they've been trying to get It.
They'll rob and kill him in the end,
and the cruel part it—he's not greedy,
he doesn't want It for himself—hut
for tne. That's what breaks my heart.
"Surely you're mistaken. Benni: they

Do You Need a Boss?
A famous English engineer tells
« little story with a big moral to it.
He say -: "On a certain job which
engineered, I was making a tour
inspection to determine the progress
of construction. Among the many
workers 1 noticed one who was driv-
ing rivets with amazing speed but
none the loss with care.
"As I watched him I realised that
lie was doing as much work as any
two riveters within my vision. 1 ap-
proached him and in a casual man-
ner asked: 'Who's the boss aroutm
here?' and the reply he gave me is
one that 1 am never going to forget.
"There's the boss over there, but
he ain't my boss,' was the reply, 'lie
bosses the men who do their w'or.tt
carelessly. Any fellow who needs a
boss around here don't get, far in this
concern."—Kodak Magazine.
CUKMISTS AN It AUTOMOTIVE
ENGINEERS AGREE.
Automotive Engineers agree that
a blended oil is t.he best for the mod-
ern motor—High compression motor-
with their smaller combustion cham-
ber do not function well if coatea
with carbon—many oils that give ex-
cellent lubrication are loaded with
carbon and soon fill the chamber and
collect under valve seating and great-
ly reduce the efficiency of n perfectly
good engine.
Gulf Refining Chemists have suc-
ceeded in combining the best proper-
ties of the paraffine and naphthene
base crude oils into a perfect blend--
Thit new oil possesses the goodness
• .f !<o;'< the crudes—-resisting heat to
<i hijjh degree and at the same time
leaving considerable less carbon In
the combustion chamber.
There it a "Death Chamber" in th>
KLY-TO.Y factory. This chamber i.
about the room size. It is used to tea'
the finality of Fl.Y-TON as a spivy to
kill flii'.-.. mosquitoes, bedbugs, roach-
es, etc. During a test a large number
of young, healthy insects ttre placed
inside the cabinet. These insects are
rai'd i' incubators for testing pur-
poses. While the insects are flying
| and crawling around in the "Chamber
! of Death." FLY-TOX is sprayed in-
side, Less than a teaspoonful is used.
; instantly there is a change. Within
five minutes not a buzz is heard. Al!
! insects are dead. To make sure they
; are really dead,- the insects are care-
fully removed from the "Chamber os
i Death" and placed in incubators in an
. effort, to revive them. Tf a wing flut-
! tors, the FI..Y-TOX tested never
leaves the factory. This test is your
guanuitee of FLY-TOX quality. It
does what yon want it to do—kill in-
sects in and about your home. Yet,
FLY-TOX is positively harmless to
people. FLY-TOX was developed at
Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-
search by Rex Research fellowship.
It will not stain. Has a delightful per-
fume-like fragrance. There is only
one FLY-TOX—insist upon the gen-
uine in bottles with blue labors.—Adv.

pc, sons who because of an outstand-1 Messers Wayne, Thomas and Lanis
ing reputation are drafted to traverse! McMoans were down from Paducah
the smaller cities, many experiencing
the life of the road for the first time.
Among the celebrities who are
traveling by Chevrolet this year over
the DeLuxe circuit are Mrs. Nellie
Talot Ross-, former governor of Wy
oming; Anne Campbell, the celebrated!
newspaper post and Captain Dennis j
Rook, former British Army ace and
holder of the world's record for the
longest solo flight, a trip from Lon-
don to India, a distance of 7000 miles.
For four months the Redpath trou-
l>en- have been making their one
night stands and then hopping on to
the next showing place. The Chev-
rolets have never failed to get their
occupants to their destination at the
appointed time. Already more than
100 towns in a dozen states have beet.
visited. When the tour ends 140
towns will have been visited.
Redpath is perhaps the best known
Chautaqua in the country. About
five years ago it gave up almost al-
together the custom of traveling by
train. Awakenings at early hours to
catch trains resulted in jaded nerves
and sometimes in missed engage-
ments. l-tter, until this year, large
buses have been used with an occa-
sional passenger ear here and there.
Not only do the Redpath Chevro-
let s transport the troupers but they
also serve as baggage cars. All of
the luggage is hauled in trunks plac-
ed inracks in the rear. The huge tent
weighing nearly a ton is the only
piece of equipment not carried by the
1 Chevrolet^. This goes by train.
| The average jump between shov
points is 100 miles. There are after-
noon and evening performances. A
departure shortly before noon allows
ample chance for rest. Then the
smooth running Chevrolet sixes click
off the hundred miles comfortably in
the intervening three hours. There Is
none of the hurry or bustle that char-
acterized these jumps when they were
made by train.
The famous arm/ band, offii
bond of General John J. Persh
and founded by him during the World
War, will make its first visit to West
Texas on November 2. The pictur-
esque Mexican orchestra, official mu-
sical organization of the late
dent Obregon, is slated for
in October.
Paderewski, world's moat famous
pianist, will make his appearance In
Abilene February 4, while the intev-
nationally known humorist, Will Rog-
ers, will speak here in-the Spring.
o
The poultry show at the Weat Tex-
as Fair in Abilene, September 23 to
28, will be extra good, Frank K<r;t,
manager of that department, ays.
He thinks that the general quality
of the fowls exhibited will bo higher
than ever before.
Ikey and Izzy were separating af-
ter an evening together when Ikey
said, "Au Revoir".
"Vat's dat?" asked Izzy.
"Dat's Goodbye in French."
