They reappeared, they came circling down the room, they passed \vithin a few feet of Jerry; three times he watched them pass nim thus and did not move. But when they made their fourth approach, he sprang up, shouldered his way among the oth- er dancers, and confronted Nora. "My turn," he said; and Nora, with a lit- tle cry of surprise and pleasure, slip- ped from Corcoran's arms into his. "Look here!" cried Corcoran, stupefi- ed; but Jerry whirled her away aivd laughed exultingly. "He kissed me," she suddenly mur- mured in his ear. "I didn't like it, Jerry." "I'll pound his face." Jerry stop- ped dancing, to sweep the room with angrv eyes. "No; it wasn't bad enough for that." She tugged gently at his ann. "Dance with me a moment and then take me home, Jerry." He held her more closely, more firm- ly, in the proud consciousness that she was seeking his protection. And soon C/orc-oran appeared in their path, with the smile of one who had been good-naturedly tolerant. He spread out his arms and shouted, "'ftiat's right, Donohue, bring Uiat ship into port." "I feel you've had me on your hands enough this evening, Charley," she said. "Jerry's promised to see me home . " "I thought I asked you to this dance." "Yes, and it was nice of you.

Fire Insurance does not prevent fire â€" it only partly reimburses you for loss sustained, should fire destroy your property. Fire may never happen. On the other hand, the use of good paint actually {prevents a loss from decay which is not just apossibiUty, but an absolute certainty. The destructive effects ol weather, upon buildings that lack proper paint protection, go on every second of the day and night. MARTIN -SENOUR "100% PURE" PAINT is the greatest known protector of all building material against time and weather, because it is made only of pure White Lead, Pure Zinc Oxide, and Pure Linseed Oil. You would not think of letting your Fire Insurance Policies lapse in order to save the yearly premiums. It would be even poorer economy to letyour Paint Protection Policy lapse by neglecting to repaint your increasingly valuable buildings this season. When you do paint use Martin Senour "100J5 Pure" Paint. It spreads easier, covers more surface, and protects longer than most other nu'kes.
