How did all these other fellows go
about 1t? What did they do that
made their courtship end in failure?"
Like flash "Grizzy" realized that
his chances OF success depended
upon his ability to answer these

to familiarize himself with all the

his exhaustive investigation into the
experiences of Miss Van Aliens pre-

Francis Otis and Cushing Stetson,
he found. had courted her at the

travel the literary route to her affec.
tions. Stetson used to read her
reams OF his Blue jacket" stories,
while frankie Otis tried to win her
with French novels.
But Miss Van Allen had quickly
tired OF this form of devotion, as the
record OF the past performances OF
Messrs. Otis and Stetson shows.
Therefore "Grizzy" declared that
literature bored him TO death. In.
stead Of novels and poetry, he
brought her armfuls of Sunday
