Vivian had kissed her old guard
ian good-bye.
‘Here comes the bride!** Kent
smiled, as he picked up his bags
and opened the screen door for the
girls to pass through.
The Johns* chauffeur. looking
like a wooden image, took the
bags and opened the door of the
car:
*T*m sure. sir. I wish you and
Madame Johns much happiness.”
Madame Johns! Cuddles gig
gled and Vivian blusheo. All the
way to the station the girls held
desperately to one another’s hands.
Cuddles wondered how Vivian
would get along without her. And
Vivian was wondering the same
thing.
There was a strained silence
when Vivian and Kent settled dowm
in their drawing room on the train.
When the train pulled out of Ben-1
der Vivian had the queer feeling
that she was putting her entire life
behind her. She shivered slightly,
despite the heat.
"Awful hot in here." Kent rose
suddenly. "Think I’ll go in the
smoker a little while”
He came back a moment later—
platnly confused and flustered.
“Who do you suppose is out
there? Joe Keller, going to New
York to buy for his store. I had
reserved a berth for myself—but
111 have to sleep here. They’d
never stop talking. It would look
queer.”
Vivian colored to the roots of
her hair, but smiled in spite of her
self.
“There’s nothing particularly ter
rible about that. You won’t fall
out of the upper berth, w’tll you?"
He looked at her admiringly— |
relieved.

was for $5,000. She gasped. He
was nonchalant

Kent slept fitfully, and dreamed
of Dovie Jansen. Vivian did not

LET ME HELP YOU
WORD YOUR WANT A1
I am employed by The Herald to give service to the
Valley people who use the Want Ads only occasion
ally. The folks with whom I deal, use Herald Want
Ads maybe four or five times a year—to sell some
odd pieces of furniture—hire a maid—or transact
the many little businesses that arise in every-day life.
These people aren’t regular day after day advertisers
and seldom become experienced in the real psycho
logy involved in the writing of a Want Ad to get the
most “pulling power*’—we call it—out of every word
in their message. . *
So, as I said before, 1 am employed to help Dmo—
to help you, reader, for I know that down k year
basement—in your attic or yaraye, there ape timid
away many household articles which yon no lonyot
use and which could easily be turned into caab—at
means your vacation money. p
Let me help you word your Herald Want A*d. Lot
me advise you what to say in it, and what not to
say. Let me help to yet you results • • • • 4
