A Turn With Stackpo1e

Its so good of you!" says she. I'VE
have heard about some of the wonder
full things you have done for other
men, and our dear Stackpole does need
help so badly. Once he gets his health
back he will be his old self again"
Say. she won me, first rattle out of
the box.
along. I'm no evangelist and l won't
guarantee TO make a cherub of him in
two weeks; but I'll do what l can to-
ward putin him in trim for a change
of heart"
I knew you would" says she. And
Stackpole is really a good boy, you
know, when he's well. There's just
one thing, though, that want you TO
promise: allow him TO have his own
way all you can, won't you?"
And say, what do you suppose? /
promised! We shook hands on it, too.

StackpOle was that he'd had his way

as trainin' camp, so l gives Swiftly
Joe the studio keys and catches a suf-

comes a big goldmounted benzine
cart with Stackpole, in goggles and
pongee dress1n' gown, stretched out on

another hOnk wagon. with the tonneau
piled full of kit bags, trunks strapped
on the back, and suit cases on the
top. In amongst the bags was slowed
away two little Japs and a big husky
SWede. With the TWO French chiffon
iers, that made five people.

goes on TO say that he guessed I could
ma room for them all somewhere
about the place.
You must think this is a summer

of EN- out?"
"Oh, really" says he, II couldn't get
along without any one of them"
That's a sad state to be in says
I; but. as I've promised to humor
you, III tell you what you can do:
either board them down to the village
/ or chase the whole bunch back to
! town"
And say, he kicked like a steer. He
came near quittin the game right

man had said before he started made

There was another hitch about the
baggage. l didn't want all that truck
