Aute, Then' Gossip
A few weeks age Rescoe sold a used
motorcar te the printer for a trifling
sum nnd offered te teach Mrs. Hoagland
te drive. Anticipating pleasant evening
rides in the beautiful country about
Westwood, the printer readily agreed.
But the wealthy man's visits con
tinued even after Mrs. Hoagland could
drive the car herself. Then began trips
together, trips, that grew longer with
each repetition. The neighbors began

forbade his wife te make any mere
trips.

ployment In New Yerk, received an
anonymous telephone call thnt caused

been out with Rescoe again. Sne ad
mitted the truth and began cring.

that the familiar iiurteundings would
influence her decision, Hoagland de
manded a "showdown."
'.'Yeu knew I love jeu. Ethel," he
told his wife. "We huc been happy
here together with our children. Veu
