and he felt boredom slipping away
from him as he cogitated and debated.
He was falling asleep to dream of pea
nuts when he made up his mind. He
would simply saunter into the park
by another entrance. Then he would
simply stroll around and feed the
squirrels. Thus, if he happened-if
he just happened-to meet the girl
again, she could not f1atter herself
that she was the magnet.
Half mile from the spot where
he had stood before he encountered
her again. She had come in by an
other entrance Ralph was with her.
In trying to seize one of the trust
ing squirrels by the neck a finger had
been bitten to the bone and he was
doing the whooping act. Under the cir

the other way and pass on; human
1ty demanded that he stop and tender
his handkerchief and first aid, and
words of sympathy, and in SO doing he
found himself taking a seat on the
same bench. After Ralph had been
roaring away for seven or eight min

were looking to see if he had tainted

San Bernardino, Cal, July l.
The Mojave desert has gone dry. For
the first time in it's history the desert
is minus the saloons, which like GASES,

for that place were renewed before
the county supervisors suddenly de-
