' i i Ail the men at the club have betm watching Johnnie Edwards, the Invafr erate smoker, fdr the last week, an4 there's been much surmising and coo jecturing, but Johnnie wouldn't ghm himself away. It seems that Johmil has held the prize for tlie champlo smoker in the club for ten years. In the last week Johnnie has bee seen strolling around the rooms wit a dejected, lost appearance and b tween his lips always the inevltabW cigarette. But it was never lighted. Nobody liked to ask him questions an he didn't volunteer any explnnatioa.

I swore off if you would,', and goodness knows I want one enough, hut Doc says you've gotbt -leave 'em alone for a while. Now be good little mother and remember youa promise,"- New York Sua. |
