And ,. monkeys who had come to get frills of fur when the children had no more to give away, were growing so angry .i.f the? were ready to pick Peggy, Billy and Folly Wisher to pieces. Then Peggy bad wished that they might bo far, far away among humans. At once the nests in which tjiey sot rose into the lr and flew away, leavlnc the startled monkeys chattering behind them. The nests rode on the wind, sailing like airplanes. Peggy and Billy found it very delightful to travel tills way over forests and rivers and hl'ls. Here and there in the woods were open spaces, and in these-open spaces ere villages of grass huts. , Around each village ran a high fence made of poles. These were to keep out the anl- The villages seemed very quiet. with no one stirring Jn them. .Peggy and Billy wondered if all tho villages were deserted. Then they looked more closely, and they saw what the reason was that no one was stirring. The villages were filled with people, but the people were lying. In UfeTshade, taking a noon-da; nan. And when Peggy and Billy saw'the kind of people that .dwelt in the vil lages, they were glad the" people were asleep. For the people wcro savages tj'afk savages that looked fierce and dangerous. . . "My goodness, I hope we do not come down in any of these villages," said Peggy. Folly Wisher, tho goblin, gave a mocking chuckle-." 'Have you forgotten your wish?" he cried. "When you were among the monkeys you wished you were far away among humans.' These black folks are the only humans In this part of Africa, lou mado your wish, and It must come true." This bad news worried Peggy and Billy. They looked , anxiously down In hopes that they might see white .men in the forests csnlorers or hunters. But there was bo sign of whito men. Jijst wild animals "and the sleeping blacks. And soon the wish Peggy had made came true, as Folly Wisher had said it would. The nesta In which tpey, were riding headed for a village on the bank of, a river and began to settle downward. They1 could see savages sleeping in 'the shade of trees and awnings, sleeping bo soundly none saw the flying nests. "Oh, If we havo to como do.wn among tboso humans I hope wo dome down in a troe where wo can hide," whispered Peggy to hersolf. This wish, like others, was instantly granted. They swooped into the top follago of a wide spreading tree, the nests fitting as snugly among the branches as though birds had built them there. Below the savages Blept on, but they were soon to awaken, and when thev did awaken, Peggy, Billy and Folly Wisher were to find themselves in the midst of a stirring adventure, as will bo told tomorrow.

She was the guest of her aunt, and she felt not at all thrilled at tho prospect of a rouple of hours spent over tho lunch table with a half-dozen women whom she had never seen before.

"I am trying to cut my living ex pense in thejtountry this summer, and I'm torn' between letting my mother's1 helper or my chauffeur go," remarked one of the guests. "It's.a'far cry from one to the other, isn't l?" asked Joan's Aunt Nell. "Can't'you drlve-yourself?" asked Joan.

Acknowl edged among motorists and dealers alike as the world's foremost example of Cord tire building. Always delivering the same repeated economy, tire after tire, and season after season. The stripe around the slde-wallt It registered aa a trade mark In the U. S. Patent Office. When people saw through discount tires this was boutid to happen CAR-OWNERS make one criticism of the tire business well worth thinking about. From their point of view the phrase "stand ard quality" in connec tion with tires is too care lessly used. If there are so many "standard" tires why all these discounts 20 3040 off? Off what? What basis of value to begin with? Why so much talk about discounts and so much silence about ser' vice? To-day, "discounts" have proven just one thing to the public: That somewhere there is the standard tire the greatest and most constant worth the tire that all other tires can be measured by. Par quality at a net price. Any car-owner who intends to do standard tire-buying will find his best guide hi the simple out-spoken ,remarks he hears everywhere. "Still running on a last season's set of U. S. Roy al Cords." "Going to get Royal Cords this year." "Everybody out our way drives U. S. Royal Cords." qAs people say everywhere United States Tires arc Good Tires "Yes, I know but the "dealer said these were as good as Royal Cords." The dominant public opinion for U. S. Royal Cords is all the more significant because every one in the tire business started with an equal chance. It was open to any tire maker to set the standard. Today most motorists know what to expect from a tire. And when more tires render a service meas urable in terms of U. S. Royal Cords there will be mbre net tire prices and less and less room in the tire business for "discounts. United States Tires United States 0 Rubber Company Tire Branch, 329-331 N.
