vie development of
Jiotor Transportation
There have been many contributing fac
tors in the development of motor transpor
tation; the perfecting of the motor car in
comfort and dependability; the construction
of smooth durable highways; the production
of a motor fuel—Red Crown gasoline —
which meets every test of power and mile
age; and finally, the Standard Oil Service
Stations at convenient locations, making
Red Crown gasoline readily available to
motorists.
Look for Standard Oil Service Stations
* and for the Red Crown sign at garages,
service stations, and other dealers. There you
will be able to get good service with Red
Crown gasoline.

sixteen year old Sennit, "and imi v !

"Slother, won't you make then \

"and suggest something?"
Mrs. Drlscoin yawned as mm n>
her strap would permit. "All 1
can think of is v nice warm bed mid

"You're not a bit like mothers yon
read about," accused Dulcle tearfully.
"I'd think you'd be broken-hearted
having a thief for a daughter.'!
"We're not so broken-hearted," put
in Ted, "as we are annoyed, old girl.
Devilish inconsiderate of you, discov
ering at three o'clock In the morning
that you'd lifted your boss' diamond
scarfpln."
"It's all because you're so careless,"
supported Sennh primly; "any decent
person would have discovered it lie
fore retiring."
"Your story is so confusing, IMilcie."
murmured Mrs. Drlscom sleepily!
"Would you mind repeating it, but
start from the beginning this time."
"Oh, I've told it just as it happened.
You see. 1 was the last person in for
dictation, arid then Mr. Brookes comes
out of bis private office —"
"Not that horrid old Mr. Brookes?"
interrupted Senuh.
"Of course," answered Dulcie irri- j
tably, "you know perfectly well there
is only one Mr. Brookes in the firm — "
"Well, why don't you say old Mr.
Brookes, or something— you've always
called him horrid or cranky or beast
ly."
Dulcle went on, ignoring the young
er sister: "lie came out and said
he'd lost his scarfpin, a platinum one
with diamonds, very precious to him.
And we all began to hunt. I went into
, his private office and looked there,
nnd oh, everywhere, because, you see,
it was very embarrassing for me —Ii
was the last one in—and -we couldn't
find it. Nobody could settle down to
work, and we till fell dreadfully un
comfortable and each person kept pro
testing lie had not seen the pin."
"And old Brookes, what did the old
crab say?" questioned Ted.
"Oh. that is the worst of it! He
said lie was sure he'd find the thief!"
sobbed Dulcle pitifully.
Dulcle gave a little scream, hut bet
mother pushed her gently toward her
bedroom. "I'll not close un eye,"
walled the daughter.
And Ted from his room door
teased, "Just keep your eye off my j
scarfpin, sis!"
• Dulcle gave a little angry snort and
flung herself In bed and promptly fell
asleep. It was mother, of course, who
lay awake an hour or more planning
what to do.
In the morning the little thief was
enjoying a hearty breakfast when Ted,
having answered the doorbell, came in
with a big, long box and placed
it on her lap, The rest, of the family
Immediately rose to Its feet.
"For me?" asked Dnlcie, turning
white and red alternately.
Ted cut the string for her and
opened the lid, and Dulcle with cold
fingers pushed aside the tissue paper.

"As long as you have taken my

in exchange just the hope id being my
