“Wait a minute. We'll have to
have a night-cap with him."
Charles stopped her smilingly.
"Captain Steele? 1 don’t think you
will find him here.”
“Why,” she asked in swprise,

game, however, he forced his way
into the house and demanded that

towards him And Mickey offered
only the lamest explanations
Johnny condemned himself audibly
and Mickey listened in suffering si-

when he asked her to marry him.
“I'm not going to marry you'"

Thoughts of Johnny faded as the

into an unknown world of thrills,

disheveled and slightly uncertain of

The chauffeur looked at Morrell
disgustedly then looked up to a
window in the house which had just
gone dark. It was Mickey's bed-
room.

Here’s a real "look-sec’’ at the wonders of Pluto’s realm, taken in the newly discovered and ex-
plored Longhorn Cavern, right at the center of the State of Texas—at Burnet, 50 miles northwest of
Austin. Dr. Frank E. Nicholson, famous as the explorer of Carlsbad, has definitely established this
Texas wonder to be the third largest cavern in the world. When fully explored, it will lie larger than
any other, he says. Note Nicholson in the photo, with his wife, Peggy, standing just above him. al-

THEY COULDN’T
KNOW
Back in 1918 the greatest newspapr of the day de-
clared that the world had reachd the limit of human
expansion. It even went further, saying that there
weren’t enough supplies in the world to support fur-
ther growth of population.
The mind of 1818 couldn’t conceive the miracles
that human ingenuity would perform during the
twentieth century. It couldn’t imagine the wonders
that would be wrought by new agricultural methods
and modern manufacturing genius. It was ignorant
of transportation as we know it, or the progressive
sales methods of today. It could not see the vital part
that would be played by advertising.
Even today there are some who fail to realize what
an important factor advertising has become. Adver-
tising is as much a part of today’s life as electricity,
antiseptic surgery or automobiles. It keep us up to
date on the many things we need in ordr to live profi-
table, happy and useful lives. It presents for our ap-
proval articles of all kinds and for all purposes. The
requirements of each member of the family are met
by advertised offers of good merchandise of proved
value.
The advertisements save time, money and effort
for those who read them and allow their guidance.
