Why
Post Toasties?
A question that's fully answered by your first
package of the New Post Toasties.
These Superior Corn Flakes are delightfully
crisp to start with, and they have a body and firm
ness that stay crisp, even after cream is added.
New
Post Toasties
have the real corn flavour. Tiat them dry direct
from the package and they please amazingly, but
serve these tender, crisp bits of corn with milk or
cream and at once you realize that the day of or
dinary "corn flakes" is past.
All grocers have been supplied with the New
Post Toasties, fresh from the factory ovens. An

cowered against the wall aa, with
that movement, a lurid flame, fol
lowed by plumes of acrid, biting
smoke, exhaled ltaelf from the vault
door, out Into the room.
President Darius Brown sagged
down-r-down —sagged within himself
like an old, worn-out accordi&n.
Sagged to his knees, where he
wavered a moment, then slumped
heavily to the tiled floor, hlo face
flattened there as though he would
thus bury it forever from the sight of
men.
Williams approached. He was cold
and passionless now. There was no
time, but he could not forego looking
at his work He touched the hand,
drawing away quickly as rigor mortis
j tautened the tendons of It. Cooly he
i picked up the package of securities
which had dropped from the flnan
j cler's pocket, turning them over curl
| ously as though they were the most
i important things in the world to him.
| They fell from his hands as the
j squirmings of the bound watchman
reached his ears. Snatching the bun
dle of money from his own pocket he
drepped it beside the securities, then
turned and fled.
CHAPTER VIL
Fled throughout the weeks and
months; fled—when there was no
place to flee; fled—from the voices
that betrayed him, from the whlspera
that accused him; fled—when he
prayed he might be captured; fled—
j from pillar to post, with no objective,
! with no reason for flight save the fear
i that impregnated the very soul of him.
Flo't Brother Captured by the Poiic*.
A series of flat robberies punctuated
his flight. The net was closing In
upon him. There was a wild co
mlngllng of desperate fear and Joy as
he know Anally he was under suspic
ion for these lesser crimes. He knew
when caught he would put up a fight.
He could not understand It, for prison
was what he craved, the immurement
from horrible voices, sounds, lights.
But he knew he would resist by reason
of the same impulse that impelled his
thefts, whereby he sustained existence
when he would have preferred death.
And then it came. He had not
bungled the Job. He had felt in ad
vance that he was about to be caught.
The plant had been laid for him by the
police. His pal had been a stool pig
eon. The whole robbery had been
mapped out at headquarters and he
had played squarely into their handa.
But the instinct for flight had beat
en them. Even as the steel nipper
touched his wrist he had fought, had
wriggled desperately out of the plain
clothes man's clutches. And he had
fled, fled to the only place he knew
safety might lie.
Joseph Drum and his wife were
silently seated in their living room
one night. The haggard man burst
In upon them. Since the tragedy they
had been given much to silence. The
fear that beset the cracksman had not
neglected them—the fear and remorse.
Flo had caught a glimpse of her
brother upon the street, and the face
had haunted her since.
"They got me," Williams gasped.
'They're wise to me. They nicked ma
on the Jpb."
Drum hurriedly snatched aside ths
portieres, tossing open the bedroom
window and pointing toward the fire
escape.
"Hide in here," he commanded
crisply. "The fire-escape's good
enough if they make a search—"
Williams laughed hoarsely, croak
lngly.
"There's no getaway for any of our
gang," he muttered, then, his voice
growing clearer, something almost
prophetic glowed In the bleary eyes;
"no getaway for any oi us. X can't
help running, but to make a getaway.
I c&n't—we can't."
"We left a trail a mile wide," he
continued more quietly. "That pearl
necklace, Joe! All the coin you've
spent! What Fields knows! What
everybody knows about your salary!
They're alive—those clues, even If &
fat coroner does go to sleep on tha
Job. They had a clear case against
Brown—and he was dead. But they
gotta clear case against us, If they ever
start. They ain't no getaway. They
ain't—"
He halted, springing to his feet as
the elevator cage clanged upon their
floor and heavy steps, Immediately
followed by resounding blows upon tha
door, woke the echoes of the apart
ment house.
Crash the door shivered, then
slapped from its hinges before tha
heavy-shouldered pair who lunged
Into the room. Flo uttered a scream
of warning as her brother drew his
gun, but the wrist of him trembled
helplessly In mid-air under the iron
grip of the plain-clothes man.
"What did he mean—about clues T"
she whispered fearfully to her hus
band, an hour later. "Did ha mean
we might—get caught—?"
Drum sighed heavily, staring at tha
opposite wall with an expression In his
eyes that showed he was looking far
beyond that wall.
"What was he running—from—al-
ways?" she persisted, dully. 'Tha
verdict cleared—everything—so far aa
any chance of being—caught was—>
concerned. Why did he run, Joe?"
"Not from man." His voice was
leaden. "From the arrows of the Al
mighty he ran. Havan't you felt
them, Flo?"
She shivered, wishing she might
meet his eyes knowing their eyea
could never meet as of old.

Packard Twin Six Makes
a Hit on Broadway
There 'is a new star on Broadway,
it's a scintillating star, the Packard
Twin Six.
The newest motor car designed in
the world made its metropolitan ap
pearance at the Packard store in New
York on Wednesday nmrnins. .1 ull e _.
At six o'clock in the evening 4939 pel
sons had called to make an
and tiiis number was increased by sev
oral hundred during the hours pievious
to tlie opening of the theaters.
The day following the 5000 mark was
again passed, establishing what is
probably a record for Broadway s mo
tor row. Testifying to the fact that
this cnnrmoiis number of was
not made up of the idly cur . lol J s tlf. t a
wire sunt to the factory by M. )• Hud
long, president of the company s
branches, declaring that an error had
been made in pricing <he cars. Buci
long is positive that everyca! alloted
to New York JJity could be sold for
SSOO more than the list price.
The Twin Six shown in New \ ork
is the one displayed at Indianapolis
during tlie 500-mile race. The sensa
tion this car caused In the Booster
metropolis is best shown by a wire sent
to Detroit by Carl G. Fisher, president
of the Indianapolis Speedway who is
also the Packard dealer in Indianapolis.
It reads: . . , ,
• Have just finished largest week s
business in history of company. Show
rooms were crowded from morning un
til night. Public comments from fore
most engineers in attendance at races
have aided us wonderfully in taking
orders from conservative motorists
who otherwise might have been skep
tlcal over such a pronounced depart
ure from conventional construction.
Believe entile allotment of Twin Sixes
for this district will be sold within
thirty'days. We are willing to double
original order if the factory can sup
ply us."

Scripps-Booth Makes
Good Impression Abroad
Now. Peters & Sons, Ltd., of London,
England, coach builders to his Majesty
(lie King for 216 years, have contract
ed for 5.000 Scrlpps-Booth cars, ex
port tread, and are to become the Lon
don Scripps-Booth distributors.
Peters & Sons, Ltd., are handling the
Turrat-Merv et Cie. Marseilles and
the Austin lines. In adding the Scripps-
Booth tn their lines, they have selected
a car well worthy of a place alongside
those cars of old-world aristocracy.
The Scripps-Booth Company has also
done well in its choice. Peters &
Sons, Ltd., have a reputation extending
hack for more than a century. A rep
utation that has won for them the con
fidence of the upper classes of the
kingdom, even to royalty itself.
The great grandfather of Walter L.
Rodman, prescent general manager of
Peters & Sons, Ltd., served the firm In
1794 and subsequent to him, Mr. Bod
man's grandfather was in the firm's
service.
Peters & Sons. Ltd., have, therefore,
ihe class standing tn England to handle
a car of Scripps-Booth beauty and qual
ity. They are planning an advertising
campaign of $15,000 for the 1916 sea
son.
I'nlversal Motor Car Company, of

STOPS SQUEAKING OF SPRINGS
Every once in a while requests are
received from motorists for suggestions
as to how squeaking auto springs can
lie remedied.
These motorists have been using
plain oilS and greases between the
spring leaves, but find that these lubri
cants squeeze out under weight and
are also affected by climatic conditions.
It will be of interest to those ex
periencing spring friction to know that
experimenters have discovered that
Dixon's flake graphite introduced be
tween the leaves of the springs kills
the squeak and seems to last indefinite
ly.
The reason for the success of flake
; graphite for this purpose is that it
clings to the surface of the leaves and
puts a veneer of graphite all over
them. This prevents metal-to-metal
contact.
Here's the way to apply this lubri
cant: Jack up the car so that all
weight is off the springs and spread the
leaves apart with a screw driver. Now
dust the leaves as thoroughly as pos
sible with flake graphite, using a feath
er. You'll find when you come to drive
your car, even over the roughest roads,
that spring squeaking is all gone.
Be sure to get pure flake graphite.
We understand that the only graphite
suitable for this purpose is selected
flake graphite ore mined by the Jo
seph Dixon Crucible Company, and is
known as Dixon's Motor Graphite.
New Valve-in-Head Motor
Highly Efficient, Says Hinkley
At the regular trimonthly conven
tion of Chalmers district managers
held in Detroit all this week the Chal
mers selling season for 1916 was for
mally opened.
The business sessions of the conven
tion were held every morning and af
ternoon In the factory convention hall
The program consisted of talks by de
partment heads, informal discussions
MO J A *

All-Havana 10c cigar. If
you appreciate the
ing power of your dime

quality. .
Made by John C. Herman & Co.
and the unfolding of plana for the new
year.
A feature of the convention was the
talk of Chief Engineer Hinkley on the
new valve-in-head motor with over
head camshaft.
"The recent races at Indianapolis,"
declared Mr. Hinkley, "proved con
clusively the efficacy of the ney type
of motor. De Palma's car was so equip
ped and in fact so were eight out of
the ten cars that came in on the prize
money.
"While the old style overhead valve
motor was highly efficient, it did not
cash in on all its possibilities. The
abolition of the long unwieldly side
rods has solved the noisy problem,
leaving the motor absolutely quiet.
"European development was headeil
in this direction when the great Euro
pean war stopped further automobile
manufacture. Recognizing the demand
for this type of car that will ensue on
the continent after the war clouda
have cleared away E. E. Leverett, of
Eondon, came to Detroit for the sole
purpose of securing the exclusive
agency for the Chalmers car in the
British Isles. We have had fifteen ap
plications from Russia alone."
Mr. Hinkley concluded his remarks
with the statement that over 75 per
cent, of the American makers would
adopt this design within the next two
years.
