THEY went quietly downstairs, got into the car with no ceremony whatsoever and drove away. She hadn't even the spirit to feel relieved. "Wait a minute," she said as the car turned into the main street. "Did you pay Horace for all those supplies, the other night?" "Come to think of it, I didn't. As I said before," Todd remarked, "the question of who owes whom what is a li'le involved." The car stopped in front of the drugstore. "There's plenty there," he said, handing her his billfold. "While you're inside, how's about buying the cricket a new flash-light? Her old one was broken and I left it behind at the house." "No!" Barby shrieked, flinging herself round in the seat. "I don't want a new one, Toddy, you said you had mine! Cousin Dyke scratched my initials on it! I won't have another!" "Okay, okay, Barby," said Todd, chuckling. "Don't strangle me. We'll go back, if you insist. Pick you up here in five minutes, Georgine." "All right," she said, plodding across the sidewalk. "Would you get our bill, Mr. Kinter?" she asked the assistant.

"By God, if you lived in this town, I'd see to it that there were measures taken" "And if I did live here," said Georgine clearly, "do you think I'd be afraid of you, vou village Mussolini? Why, you're nothing to me but a d old gaffer with the manners of a Barbary ape." She waited with quiet satisfac-tion while he allowed his face to swell and turn purple, while the whites of his yes showed at the bottom and he clawer at his col-lar. "And don't pull one of those fits of yours on me," she added. She kept her voice pleasantly low, but in the deathly hush of the drug-store it was quite audible. "You've been scaring people with them for years, but they're just as phoney as your title. 'Judge Tillsit!' You couldn't judge a Mother's Sack Race." "I'll have you run out of town," the Judge bellowed. With remark-able agility he wheeled and plunged toward the front door. Not one of the customers met his eye. Georgine climbed into Todd's car, waiting in mid-stree- t. Barby 's face appeared, bright with inter-est, at the window; she turned and made some remark. "Mamma does look pretty," Todd said gravely in reply as Georgine hoisted Barby aside and sat down, something laid in her arms and "I think she's been get-ting mad at someone." "Ha! Have I! Worse, in fact." She glanced down at her child and spoke carefully, in a language which would have baffled any Continental, though Todd, who also had been to an American high school, understood her per-fectly. "J'ai juste faite," said Georgine, "un terrible scene en publique avec ce vieux chameau le Juge." She looked round with in-terest. "He is going into the po-lice station. How do you suppose they run people out of this town, with a mounted posse?" "Is that what he threatened to do?" said Todd, grinning. "What a pity we're just on our way out, anyway." "I thought of that," said Georg-ine blithely, "and so of course there is only one thing to do: dodge him somehow and stay here until we've finished all our busi-ness." His head turned sharply. "Yes, that's what I mean. You've got the ring and the li-cense all lined up, it'd be sinful tc waste them. And, seeing as it's you, Todd, we're willing to take a chance with you a million times over. Aren't we, Barby?" "Sure," said Barby, uncompre-hending, but game. Todd complied, his face rigid, but his mouth now and then twitching faintly. All at once she was enveloped in a sort of emotional fog that nearly overwhelmed her. But this is absurd, she told herself just before her mind went blank j I've been married before, I shoi.dn't be acting like . . . Then her hand3 and feet went cold as ice; dimly 3he heard Barby expostulating, dimly felt a peculiar sensation as of being taken away. That must be her own voice, miles away, muttering some kind of response to urgent promptings. Someone was gripping her hand, steadying her . . . "man and wife," said another voice through the mist. "And may I wish you every happiness? Perhaps you'd like to sit down, Mrs. McKinnon." vision cleared. She looked HER at the sapphires on her left hand. Yes, she must have got married. Her head turned and she caught sight of Barby, who stood blissfully clutching an armload of pampas grass. "They had it right here in the parlor, Mamma, Barby said, "and you didn't have a bouquet, but you promised me I could hold youra when you got married, and I " "I see, darling. That's enough, now." Pampas grass, thought Georgine wildly, and me in an old iersey dress I've worn six days. Something dignified and love y- -e simple ceremony that we could re-member always. Well, that last part was true enough. Said Todd heartily, "Rev. Pat-to- n, I cant thank you enough for realizing the, uh, nature of the wedding I have emergency-fin- est ever been to."

She had caught sight of her face in the mirrored stand in the rear. No reason for me to look as if I'd died, thought Georgine; at least I could put on some lipstick. The frosted-glas- s window near the door was annoying; she con-centrated on smoothing the scar-let paste onto her lips. "Came in here, didn't she?" said a harsh voice. "The other ones drove ott round the corner, but-y- es, that b the woman. Are you pleased with what you've done, Miss, coming to this town with your fancy man and tellin' lies about my family.

Toot, Toot Having arranged an all-nig-fishing contest, the local angling club went to the village inn until it was time to start. At closing time they took up their tackle and moved ofT with dignity through the darkness to the bridge selected. Seating themselves in comfort, they cast their lines over the para-pet and fished until dawn was breaking. Then, with a roar, the first down train passed under the bridge.

The philosopher Schleiermacher was delivered out of a serious ill-ness by the ministrations of the celebrated Dr. Grafe. When well jon the road to recovery, the pa-tient sent his physician the sum of twenty-fiv- e dollars. The good doctor evidently found the sum grossly inadequate, for he 'promptly returned it to Schleier-macher with the pointed com-'men- t: "Wealthy people pay what jthey like; the well-to-d- o pay the 'regular fee; the poor pay noth-ing." To which the celebrated philoso-pher replied: "For the return of the twenty-fiv- e dollars which I had sent you, please accept poor iSchleiermacher's sincere thanks." When sending things to the cleaner, if possible tell him the history of spots on the garments to be cleaned. The proper way to use a ham-mer is to grip the handle close to the end. Keep tablecloths from wrinkling by folding them once and wind-ing them on a large roll of news-pape- r. In working with plywood it is well to remember that even the very best grades have defects on one side while the other side is nearly perfect. When ripping snap fasteners from discarded clothing, keep the pairs together by punching a small hole in a card and snapping the fasteners in this. To clean black or dark blue felt, use a teaspoonful of ammonia mixed with half a cup of cold tea. Pin hankies on the line along the top of the sheets. They will dry faster, and the extra pins will help keep the sheet from blowing away. This also saves line room for oth-er pieces of clothing. If you have a job that keeps you on your feet all day, try placing a powder puff in the heel of your shoes. Cook meat longer at a low, con-stant temperature if you want to avoid shrinkage. You'll get a golden brown surface on your roasts this way too.

The more ingenious ones were those whose figures them-selves deposited the coins. In one, a baseball group, the coin was placed in the hand of the pitcher, who then hurled the ball (coin) which was missed by the batter and disappeared in the catcher. In another, a Negro boy standing in the door of a cabin turned a somersault and kicked the coin into a slot under the roof. Salvage Divers Salvage divers on jobs as deep las 5,000 feet use a heavy metal diving bell that is not only but equipped with nine-fo- ot mechanical arms and fingers with which the diver can pick up a coin, lift a 1,000-poun- d object or tie a knot in a steel cable. |
