"miMim p'helaWHanhsannl THE STORY Returning to London, practically practi-cally penniless, after an unsuccessful unsuc-cessful business trip; Sir George Sandison takes dinner with his widowed stepmother, his old f nurse, "Aggry." He did not ap-1 ap-1 prove of her marriage to his fa-father, fa-father, but her explanation satisfies sat-isfies him. Little Is left Of the estate, and Lady Sandison pro-; pro-; poses that they go to the United ' States to visit her brother, Kob- ert MacBeth, wealthy contractor. i i CHAPTER I Continued ' Agnes, Lady Sandison, glared at her stepson, "Such a to-do about a wee pickle money. Well, that's that, tod now we come down to bare rock. Eandisbrae, even at the rent I have gotten out of they foreigners, won't keep you at the first. You've the taxes to' pay, anemone or two debts. At the end of the 'second year you'll have a nice bit left over, but It will be at the end of the second. What's your plan?" Sir George lifted his hands, and let them fall. "I have none as yet. I meant to go to my nncle and ask him." "You'll get nothing," interrupted tidy Sandison grimly. "I was to him, myself. He'll do nothing." Sir George blushed. Lady Sandison gave him a keen iook. "It wasn't because I asked slm, that Lord Cheddar-Armstrong wouldn't do anything for his sister's ion. Indeed, I didn't ask him outright. He came to the solicitor's office, to see about the settlement of the estate, snd asked to see me. He was against foil for the oil business. lie consld-sred consld-sred that you had thrown the little aoney your mother had left you away." j"I did." - "And he said there-was no more Armstrong money going that gait, and b$ asked me to tell you that he'd sons s? his own to start In life. He wished TOu well but he didn't care to see you JDtil you had made some effort to secome a useful member of society." Meaning?" j"Marrying money, I take it." "lint how?" Lady Sandison laughed. "He left ihnt to you. He said something about four share of the family looks being tH that the Armstrongs were responsible respon-sible for, and they were the best tssets you had." fSir George looked considerably tinoyed. . " Lady Sandison smiled grimly. "He's ij grand looking man himself, but I tannot see that he's getting much out f the wealthy marriage he made. His wjfe holds the purse strings tight, and lis children all take after the mother ! they'll not get far on their looks !" "He can keep his money," growled Sir George. !"He will. He'd rather lose his Ye-Iginn Ye-Iginn than a single pound of It." I She looked again at her stepson. It was then this America scheme Jime into my head. If we go away while the place It rented and earning, tad leave my bit of money turning Itself over and earning whilst we're .4 America, where nobody knows us, e could work and make a living." I Sir George looked at her. Aggy was rfever. And after all Aggy was fond tt him. He had no one on earth searer than Uncle Charles and he had lot a penny of his own, and Aggy was sot offering him money, but a chance if earn some. Over here there was sbthing but a chance to borrow and fiot much at that He spoke, after a bit, slowly. J"By the Lord! An Ideal" I "It's more," said Lady Sandison, It's a certainty, for I have a trade that will make money any time.- I'm 4i cook that could please a king. If the worst comes to the worst I'll please if American millionaire, and take ome of his money back with me. And you " f Then she broke off as she saw Sir Barge's face.

Was he going to utterly annihilate her and walk out of her life altogether? For one moment she feared It.

He Had Opened His Mouth to Tell Her to Stop When She Made Him Forget Everything Else Except His Island.' She would pay her way, both In care and affection, in plans for his future, In money as long as hers held out, or she could earn It But would he tol erate even the slight bond of old affection and new interest? How would he know that she would ask nothing, accept nothing? One instant she trembled, to think that he would refuse, re-fuse, the next she was able to breathe again. J ; "Aggy, you're an angel," said her stepson, "and I'll think It over." She gazed up at him, a mist before her rather hard looking blue eyes. She was not one to give 'way to emo tions, 1 rather to disguise them. She pretended that she was gazing at him with curiosity, not affection. "How tall will you be?" "Six feet three," admitted Sir George. "You'll be something to show Amer ica," said Lady Sandison, complacently. "There are lots of tall Americans." "No doubt," said Aggy, Lady Sandi son, still with her absurd air of satisfaction. satis-faction. "America's a grand place, but the streets cannot be exactly crowded with beautiful young men that are six feet three!" CHAPTER II Robert Bailly MacBeth, stretched out on a wicker chaise longue, looked at his Island. When, as a poor young artisan, he had left Scotland to seek a land where he could "rise," there had been before him one ambition a big place. Yet curiously enough, great country estatesfor es-tatesfor as he gradually grew wealthy he had looked well about him left him unmoved. None of these for Itobert MacBeth. He wanted an Island. To be surrounded by water; to be absolutely independent; to 6ee his own little slice of the world set apart from the rest by nature's barrier of fast-running water, 'gratified something some-thing within him that he found difficult diffi-cult to explain. Probably Jiis nationality na-tionality accounted for most of It Island born and bred, he had reverted to the Ideals of his forefathers, to their love of blue water about a bit of green land. Robert MacBeth shifted his eyes and moved his head and his short body slightly. Only when he did so did one notice that he was lying In a chaise longue because he must He gntfl a s!gh of pnln as he slowly moved leg. Arthritis, that now fashionable name for an old-fashioned disease, had him by the feet He sank back with a groan, but he could now see Roberta, his only child, and the groan changed Into a good, round oath. MacBeth was a short, rather broad, Scot with gray eyes that were at once astonishingly lovely In color, with their deep fringe of black lashes, and both friendly and shrewd, ne had black brows and a short clipped, red and gray mustache. He was quite evidently evi-dently a personage, and knew It without with-out openly exhibiting the naive con-celt con-celt of the self-made Scot yet he had made his way from day laborer to contractor con-tractor and builder. . His splendid and varied vocabulary had been one of his greatest helps In that advance. No one could make a team of horses haul as much or as steadily as young Rob MacBeth. No one could manage a gang of Italian laborers as well. His vocabulary, practically unused at home while gentle Jean MacBeth was alive, was well known and feared at his office. It was only since arthritis had laid him by the heels that It was becoming known on his island, especially espe-cially 'when Roberta rendered him furious. He was furious now as he looked at her, and yet Roberta Jean MacBeth was a sight to make any father proud. She was small, barely five feet three, but she was beautifully proportioned. A pocket edition of Venus, with her father's eyes and red hair. It was a MacBeth characteristic this red hair. Robert's own was a reddish fair, with only the tiniest admixture of gray. His, however, seemed merely a warm tan when compared ' with Roberta' locks, which rioted over her head, a glistening helmet of red curls, cut and pruned by some French expert In the art of halrdressing. If his long training as a contractor and builder had given him a wonderful wonder-ful vocabulary, it had also given him wonderful control over his temper. Being an experienced man, he knew that to give way to his temper before Roberta, 6ince he could not arbitrarily forbid the thing she was set on doing and see that his ban was carried out would be futile. But he had to remind himself that he was Robert MacBeth, a power and a terror to grown men and high la the council of mighty men of business, before he 'could calm himself. For Roberta had flouted him, had ridiculed all his plans for himself and for her as "silly," as "moss-backed," and at the last "d n tiresome !" Doubtless, because he was fiat on his back for the first time In his active life, she had thought It the strategic hour to carry through her own plans and move the whole establishment estab-lishment bodily from his Island. Had he been at fault, himself, in bringing her up to be so modern so independent? inde-pendent? It had always been a tradl--tfon In the MacBeth family that their lassies were as "good as any lad." Was It because he had shown too plainly that he loved her beyond everything every-thing and could deny her nothing, or was it just because the whole younger generation was quite out of hand? He leaned back and sighed. . He h&d hoped for peace and comfort at home, and he was evidently not to get It yet He sighed again as he lookud about him, and saw Roberta race along the drive and cross the bridge without A look or a wave of the hand in his direction. Quite evidently, she had decided to keep her appointment, regardless re-gardless of his request that she stay at home and properly Induct the new servants, who were arriving today. Rank disobedience! Open defiance! MacBeth grinned. He had never minded a little spunk in a lass. A few minutes later he heard her car tearing along the river road on the mainland. Well, 6he was deliberately delib-erately disregarding his wishes, despite all he had said. He must plan how to circumvent her. His eyes , bef ame heavy and brooding. The very worst thing of all was that Roberta bated his Island. It was the Island that Roberta hd been so fluent about this morning. She had expressed herself as astonished that he had chosen It without consulting consult-ing her. It was In her opinion a "Godforsaken "God-forsaken spot" MacBeth had not realized ' how scornful the lady was of his most precious possession, until he heard "her say that It was a great mistake that he had not waited until she had finished school, before purchasing this island. Roberta had not been looking at her father, or she would have stopped before be-fore she said that She had been sitting on the edge of the terrace, smoking cigarettes furiously. ' MacBeth Mac-Beth had not known that she smoked. He had opened his mouth to tell her to stop when she had made him forget everything else except his Island. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The Board's findings have been expressed briefly in the "fourteen points" below. That the ttit procedure we followed accuntelr and (hat no deviation there. from occurred which might acriomly affect the soundness of any conclusions based upon the data; That a reduction in the rate of wear oc-sf oc-sf curring during the use of CONOCO . Germ-Processed Motor Oil over that occurring with the other oils used to the extent, of 76.4 per cent was shown during these tests; 3 That greater stability of the subject oil during these tests was shown by records of examination of drained oils being nearer the viscosity of the original or fresh oU and by chemical chem-ical tests of drained oils with the fresh oils; 4 That frictional temperatures occurring during the use of the subject oil were lower than temperatures occurring during the use of the comparablcs; J That higher compression pressure were obtained with the use of the subject oil during these tests than with the use of other oils. It would be directly inferred that this was caused by better ring seal; 6 That using the subject 62 and during each test, greater gasoline mileage for economy was obtained than during the use of the comparablcs; 7 That less oil consumption as shown by the 'records of these tests occurred with the se of the subject oil; That carbon deposits collected from the combustion chambers and cylinder heads and weighed by the official chemist were shown by the records of the test to be less after the us of the subject oil than after the use of the comparablcs; That the subject oil showed a reduction in the case of crank-case dilution due ing these tests; S4 That during these tests the subject oU HJr showed improved compression pressure, pres-sure, decreased rate of crank-case dilution and decreased gasoline consumption, indicating an improved ring seal; MThat t reduction in the operating fuel and oil cost occurring during these test with the use of the subject oil it substantiated by the records; 2 That with the use of the subject oil there occurred less deviation from cycle to cycle in compression pressure at starting speeds fa shown by the records) would indicate that improved compression at higher speed might have occurred during these tests; "B Tft That the reduction in the rate of wear JltlJgf occurring during these tests with the us of the subject oil as shown by the records would indicate longer motor life; That while there is no reason to suppose that results similar to those of this test would not show under other conditions, it is important that references to these findings b accompanied by the statement that, in so far a the report is concerned, they cannot, at conclusions, con-clusions, be extended generally. However, th inference that they might be so is reasonable and rational, although not conclusive. tn aWoltlat, "Pile ttk Tnfl Cfm CONOCO"!
