Open- ing it, I saw upon the threshold a fraz- zled and bedraggled bird. Only this, | and nothing more. “Ah, the raven,” I cried. “Enter. Have a seat upon the bust of Pallas. | How’s the lost Lenore and the rest of the folks?” “Cut the raven stuff, please,” croaked my visitor. “I’m a crow, and I'm all in.” I poured him a little balm, Gilead Three Star, and he sipped it gratefully. “This real estate business is killing | me,” he said. “Real estate business?” “Exactly. You've heard of suburban lots, only four miles from the City Hall as the crow flies, haven't you? Well, 6 BELLANS Hot water Sure Relief BELL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION and everything. When I think of the poor simps who bought lots, trying to | make the office by nine o’clock, or home by seven, I vow never to fly as the crow flies again. “Every time I sight a crowded sub- | urban trolley car, I moult with remorse. My tail feathers are so scarce that I can hardly steer, and yet I stick to the busine: I have just signed up to fly as the crow flies for the Pinehar Gardens Corporation; proving that it i but six miles from Times Square the company’s propert x miles is, as the crow flie For tl shamelessly accept a large gilt with bath, rent free, in the com) | offices, plus meals and maid scr | But I loathe it.

The crow cawed dismally. “IT haven’t the moral courage,” he rasped. “I have here a littlke—a very little— Old Crow,” I added. “Could | per- | suade—?” I’m that crow. My first flying job was | done years ago for the Cisternhurst De- velopment Company. They advertised in all the magazines. On the strength of my flight they sold all their lots— mostly to out-of-town people who read how metropolitan real estate had made | the Astors rich. I felt fierce about it. And guilty? Gosh! Every time I saw a scare-crow I imagined it was some sore lot-owner who had it in for me. “But I couldn’t quit the game; there’s a certain fascination about flying as the crow flies. One after another, I flew professionally for the Swampcrest Villa Company, Scruboak Estates and the Goldenglow Park people. Honestly, it’s a shame.

An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply « little Liquid Arvon at night before retirin enough to moisten the scalp, and ru! gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of y dandruff will be gone, and three or more applications should complete! move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A fout- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. comicbooks.com
