Alester Alester Alester Ales Ales- ter instructed the waiter walter as she site wished The rho crowd set up a great roar when it saw MW the tall glass placed before Jerry Sho She was toasted roundly and one ono o of the group leaped to the tho table d aT ar d sang a a. foolish little mUe song Hong with words w that said good-by good to the water wagon As Jerry drank it she revealed no sign of ot her distaste for tor it Over the glass she looked ed into Alester's eyes and saw a gleam there that she believed meant approval She put ut tho glass down donn and smiled at him ilm And when his hand

Alester ordered another after aCter a n. short wait walt She heard him tell tho the waiter waller to make mako it light It was half consumed when she sho saw Dan Harvey striding across tho Ule room to
