AN EXAMPLE OF GOODYEAR VALUE The 30x3^2 Goodyear Cross Rib Tire shown here alongside its companion, the 30 x 3% Goodyear All-Weather Tread Clincher, is a conspicuous example of Goodyear value. The Goodyear Cross Rib has in it the same high grade Egyptian cotton fabric that goes into the All-Weather Tread Goodyear. It has a differently designed but longwearing tread, and it sells for considerably less money. In the past five years more than 5,000,000 of these Goodyear Cross Rib Tires have been sold. They have everywhere given remarkable service. Their fine performance and known value have convinced thousands of motorists of the folly of buying unknown and unguaranteed tires of lower price. Ask your Goodyear Service Station Dealer to explain their advantages.

lg ' I The Turquoise Frame By JESSIE DOUGLAS xtuuxtnnxnttntuxuuxnttuutntutttttttt:: ©, 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Nellie had seen him a number of times becore he spoke to her. But at last, meeting him on the fourth landing, he said “Good-morning!” and passed on down the stairs. That was what he always did, pass— Nellie shook her head pertly and । said, “Well see!" But the strange part of it was the man on the floor below continued to speak when lie saw her, and continued to pass her by. It was puzzling. She was the prettiest girl that worked In Johnson & Hughes’ offices. And she knew It. Almost without exception every clerk had made some kind of advance to her. She could go out every night if she chose, and even old Mr. Johnson himself had given her theater tickets. The girls In the office envied her in their quiet way. She had the palest, fluffiest hair, and she “did” it in the most elaborate style, so that any one would have stopped to admire its intricacies alone. She rouged, of course. Perhaps a little too much, but habit dulls perception. Her light blue eyes were the color of forget-me-nots, .»er lashes gold-tipped, but Nellie Dwight saw that they came out jetty black. Her lips wen* pretty and soft, If slightly aided by art. She was pretty, startlingly pretty, and she would have be«'n a foolish virgin if she had not known it. There was never the slightest doubt in Nellie's mind about her charm, and she played up to it every second of her life. Her blouses were the most elaborate, her stockings the sheerest she could buy. So it was no wonder that she lifted one plucked eyebrow a trifle and eyed askance the girl who had just knocked at her bedroom door. According to Nellie's standards, she was worse than plain, a regular old maid, not a bit of makeup, ami her blouse, of irreproachable cut, was | opaque. Her hair, it was true, had a beautiful luster, but It was arranged ’ so simply that anyone could have done i it—ls she had time and patience. “I beg your pardon,” the girl at the door said, "I realize it's rather queer of me, but my brother ami I have seen • you so often on the stairs that I almost feel I know you ! I'm going away for two weeks ami I'd be grateful if you'd keep this picture for me." She held out n picture in a turquoise frame and Nellie, without looking at I it, laid it on her bureau and answered, “Glad to. I'm sun* —" ami then continued to rouge her other cheek with the greatest nonchalance. Nellie did not really bother to look at the picture until she came In from the movies that night. She saw that it was a photograph of a low stone house, ivy-girdled, with a charming j view of garden and woodland behind. ' and she guessed shrewdly that it was the girl's home. The little frame of oddly cut flat turquoise was fascinating in itself; and then she realized with a shock the girl had said. "Her brother.” Why. that must mean the man on the stairs! Nellie put the frame in the center of her bureau and eyed it with fresh interest. But something was the matter. It didn't seem somehow to go with her bright pink bureau set nor with the artificial geranium that she had stuck in her hatpin holder. Slowly she removed the geranium ami still studied the effect. Something was still wrong. She had decided to buy herself one of those new green hair ornaments, but that noon she found herself instead at the toilet goods’ counter. That ivory set would go well with the turquoise frame —she hesitated and then plunged—and she found herself waiting for the five o’clock whistle. It did go well! Somehow the turquoise frame seemed to rest against that creamy’ background, and Nellie, eyeing the bureau critcally, realized that something still was the matter. The imitation lace cover, with the pink sateen underbody, struck a wrong note. It was queer what happened in the next week; first Nellie had to get a linen cover to suit her bureau. instead ' of the green slipper buckles she had ! been counting on. Then her keen eye i saw the bureau stood out like an i island in her tawdry room. The pictures on the wall somehow did not tit; that calendar with the idack-eyed cherub that advertised John and Hughes, the chromo of roses and pansies that was so gaily colored, seemed to hurt the quiet bureau. She took ‘ down her pictures. But now the room was too quiet. Another noon found her purchasing chintz with quaint pink blossoms on a cream ground, and when she had made a curtain for her window and some cushions for her coach, even a back for her wicker chair, she glanced hurriedly over at the turquoise frame.

FAMOUS THORN TREE OF CURAY

Marked Grave of Brave Swedish Soldier Who Lest His Life in Thirty Years’ War. Everyone has heard of the Glastonbury thorn, which blooms at Christmas and was thought to have been planted by the first preachers of Christianity in Britain, in the year 31 A. L>. There is, or was until recently another famous thorn tree at Curay. near the old fortified town of Zell in Germany. A brave Swede was captured during the Thirty Years’ war and ordered to be killed since prisoners were not needed, lie begged to be allowed to write a letter to his parents, and tore a thorn from an acacia or locust bush for a pen. pricked it vein to get blood for ink. ■ and <>n a bit of his linen shirt wrote his mother: "In this life we meet no more. Hope for another.” Then he ' vas murdered. But his letter went j i to Sweden, and some years later his ' father and mother came and identi- . । lied the spot by the thorn bush, and |

t J The right keynote had been struck. ; Now it looked as though it belonged i [ there. t She gave a pleased sigh of self- j t satisfaction and went over to the | ; । bureau to look in at her pretty face. I > She could see reflected as well, her I i soft gray walls with its gay back. Star- 1 t Ing still at herself it almost seemed > as though she did not belong—aS > though—she continued to look in at I her surprised, pretty face with the too-pink cheeks. > What was the matter with herself? Wasn't she just as pretty as she had always been —she looked long and re- । sentfully about her; something was j either the matter with the room or with her; and it couldn’t be with her. 1 Suddenly she saw it. She did not be- , long with the room, the room needed a quiet person like the girl with smooth shining hair and the smooth pale cheeks. Laughing a little, Nellie ran the water into her basin and dashed off the rouge on her face, and then slowly and painstakingly she took out the forty-three hair pins that were necessary to her hair dress and began to put it up very simply very smoothly above her white forehead. "What a funny sight you are!" she said making a queer little move. She flashed a glance at the turquoise frame and knew that now she could walk down those stone steps, out Into the hedged garden as though she belonged there. She put on the flimsiest of her lace blouses, and the highest of her French-heeled slippers and looked defiantly at herself.

“If you do it at all. you’ve got to . do the whole thing!’’ she pouted. She came back an hour later with a white package crushed under her arm ; and when she had arrayed herself In I the simple heavy silk blouse of tailored cut she knew she was a changed being. She wouldn't with this particular blouse and with these sensible oxfords with their low heels be quite as pert, or as fly away as he had always been. “There's only one thing to do/* 1 Nellie said savagely, “get rid of that turquoise frame! Then I can chuck I all these clothes—” On the fourth landing she met again the young man who always passed her by. “I've just brought back your sister’s frame.” she said breathlessly. “T thought you might keep It for her. I ,thought—" The young man eyed her with sur- ; prise, this sweet, fresh looking girl j with her smooth, pale cheeks and her charming clothes ; he wondered why be j had never noticed her before. "I’m sorry, but I don't own the frame, and 1 haven’t any sister," he apologized; and then, ns he saw her eyes widen with dismay, lie added, “but I wish you would do something for me. I'm the loneliest duffer in New York, and If you'd let me talk i to you now and then—" “But why Nellie began. “Oh. yes; I've seen plenty of girls with their make-up and thehr artificiality, but no one that I've wanted to know until—” Nellie Dwight crushed the turquoise । frame against her heart ns she re- ; treated down the hall. “I —I should ! like to talk to you now and then," she said softly. When her own door was closed firmi ly ami she had enshrined the turquoise frame once more on her bureau she threw it an airy kiss. "You've brought me good luck, anyhow," sh<* whispered. “Funny what a little thing will do." Indian Ponies of Far West. The original Indian ponies were dei scendants from horses escaped from the earliest Spanish explorers and conquistadores. and those horses were descended in Spain from old Moorish stock which had its origin in Arabia. The animals were comparatively small, but possessed the Arab's unwearying energy and great carrying ability. It was that stock that becam# the Indian pony of the lands west of the Missisi sippl, the wild horse of the Far West, i the smaller cayuse of the Oregon and Washington country.
