IO The Pawn Ticket\Cluc She was the one woman in all the world he loved— and she was married to another man. She was famous now, and rich——beyond all hope of his attaining. Yet. here in this obscure pawn shop, he found a token—a Clue that told him a startling story. om Here is a man who knows that love is the savior of souls—that it levels all ranks—that rich and poor are as one under its magic spell. ( First Un tform Edition) Whether it be the blinding heat of an African desert—a lonesome island in the Pacific—or a deep mystery of a London fog—Davis always had a breathless story to tell. He knew that Romance was not dead. No man ever knew so many different kinds of people. No man ever visited so many strange lands or saw so many wars in so many different places. More than ever before Americans love him. Booth !
