Tho tame applied equally to Mine
Howell, of the correspondence depart-
ment. Mlsn Uowell hud been thero

"Mill to make Mm think alie'N In

"Watch nier' wild Sadie cryptlcully.
On tho following mornlntf Ml How-
ell found a neat Utile bunch or vloleta
on her dealt, with a ncrup of piiBtebonrd
attached, bearing In writing the wonln,
"With H. I>.' compliments."
Her agitation appeared plain. Tho
girl#, watching her, had many quiet
glgjjlcK as they *aw her iurreptlth>unly
bend to anllT the fragrance of the
flowers.
"Say, llank, that'a a One bunch of

"1 didn't send her any flowera.
Whut'd I want to send her flowera
for?" protested Henry Dobson.
"Well, don't you let on you didn't.
She's coining to thank you."
Little Miss Howell stopped at Henry
Dobson's deak. "Thank you so much
for your beautiful flowers, Mr. Dob-
son," ho said In a quiet voice.
A few days later Henry Dobson
found a pair of socks on his desk,
bearing a card, "With kind remem-
brances from A. H." Examination dis-
closed the fact that tho hoels were
gone.
"Hay, Miss Howell, Mr. Dolmen's
bad such a lovely pair of socks from
some ono," said Sadie.
Little Miss Howell raised her head
Inquiringly. "Who sent them?" ahe
asked.
"Oh, Miss Howell I Oh, Miss How
elll" they tensed hei.
It was funny to see how nervously
MIsh Itowoll uvolded llonry Dobson's
desk for several days thereafter.
Tho cream of the Joke came a few
days later. Miss llowoll openod a
little cardboard box. Inside was a
ten years old vslentlue, procured from
somo old dealer who had bad It rot-
ting on bis shelf since the (lays when
valentines remained In fashion. Tho
lace paper edge was torn and mil-
dewed. The picture represented an
elderly spinster with a long, red uose,
and underneath was printed:

vulsively. The valentine, torn In half,
dropped Into the wastebaskot
Twelve struck. Hank Dobson came
slowly Into the correspondence depart-
ment as the girls wero getting on their
lints. Miss Howell rose up, smiling.
"Oh, Sadie, you know I'm not com-
ing hack on Monday?" she asked
"Not coming back, Miss Howell?"
There was genuine regret. Then, Im-
pulsively: "Oh, M<ss Howell, If It's
because we've bothered you so much,
won't you overlook It? I—I'm really
ashamed."
"My dear, you haven't bothered mo
at all," Mlsa Howell smiled. "Hut my
husband and 1 are starting n little poul-
try farm—the dream of our lives —"
"Oli, Miss Rowelll I mean—why,

Here is a big, sturdy, lorig-wear-
inp; new tire built to satisfy the
buyer on every point of mile-
age, quality and price.
It is designed especially for the
man who wants the essential
advantages of cord tire perform-
ance at the lowest possible price.
It is designed to offer the buyer a
quality product at a price even
lower than he has formerly paid for
a "long discount" tire. It has a different
tread from the famous Goodyear All-
Weather Tread Cord—a new tread with a
deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern—and its
selling price ranges from 20 to 2S% less.
This new tire is the Goodyear Cross-Rib
Tread Cord.
Like the All-Weather Tread Cord it is liber-
ally oversize in all straight-side sires, the
£1 4' -inch tire, for example, actu-
al' ally measuring nearly 5 inches.

t'l Like the All-Weather Tread
Cord, its foundation is genuine
high-grade long-staple cotton.

J -/ Cord.it embodies the efficient

Like the All-Weather Tread Cord,
it is the product of an experienced
company which has a world-wide
reputation to safeguard.

Cross-Rib Tread Cord, listed below.
