they see fit to sell. The spinners hav.

THE BIG CHIEFS RESOLUTION
az ALExANDER BuNN.

The big chief cut the porterhouse steak
with an air of pleasant anticipation. 1t
was broiled just right, and The onions were
not the least bit greasy. There fitted
through his mind hazy realization of the
fact that even a man with terrible cold
in his head might be able to get some
JOY out of life while porterhouse steaks
and fried onions existed.

large a japanese screen that the latter
had a private dining-room to himself. and
the other people in the room soon forgot
he was there.
A few minutes later a man and girl
stood in the door Of the cafe. and scanned
the room eagerly for a vacant table
There was only ons-a small table
wedged up close to A japanese screen.
They sat down-tbe girl talking rapidly

She sighed with pleasure when the bill
