"IIow do you do. Daphne?" said Jack
in Q low tone as he beckoned Q waiter
to seat them.
''such impudence!" sniffed Daphne.
Jack felt hurt. but he understood. He
was hurt to think Daphne cut lim. be-
cause he was secretly In love with her
and had planned to marry her some day.
Just a. soon as he had graduated from
the law school and got a good start.
Next day he did not even look In

and that winter there was put on tho
market new brand OF baked beans.
The label was a gorgeous affair OF
gold and green and other colors. There
was remarkable likeness Of Daphne
on the label In one corner there was
a picture OF himself taken from Q tin
type when he was a barefoot boy. and
beside him was a gigantic beanstaik.
The label read: JACK AND THE
BEANSTALK BAKED BoANS-DAPH-

He was too busy making money to
bother about finishing his law course.
and he was deliriousiy happy when he
was promptly sued by Daphne's mother
and an Injunction served on him to pre-
vent further output OF the famous
Daphne Brand with Daphne's likeness
on the label.
This was Just what Jack wanted. The
Injunction didn't bother him, because
the canning season was over and his

Sunday papers printed pages Of the
story in colors. funny paragraphers

Injunction did not prevent advertising.
and every big Newspaper and every
billboard contained pictures OF Daphne
and the can OF baked beans. Magazines
carried It and poets rhymed about It.
Finally Daphne came to Jack secretly
and begged him to change the brand.

But Daphne remembered her last
