idea of having to give UP my coffee, but

Since drinking Postum in place of

"And she's some girl, too, believe
mel The biggest brown eyes you ever
saw in your life, a complexion like
cream, and hair-well, there eve
was such hairl She was tanning her
self real slow, and in the language of
the fan that means: This don't inter-
est me a bit!' So, Just to show her l
IA wise, I pulled out my handker-
chief and dropped 1t on the floor, and
when she saw me she stopped and be-
gan to count the ribs in her fan. That
was my cue-it meant she wanted to
speak with me-so I stepped up and
said:
Excuse me, senorita, but while
the gentlemen falkland If the sonora,
your mother, will permit-perhaps we
can enjoy a dance?
And say. Bud, you should have seen
the way she rose to 1t. The girl is a
sport, believe me, and the idea of those
two novios chewing the rag while she
sat out the dance didn't appeal to her
at all. So she gave me her hand and
away we went, with all the old ladies'
talking behind their fans and Manuel

a bunch of carambas or worse. Gee,
it was great, and she could dance like
a queen.

himself; what does she know about
cowboys?"
"Oh, she's wise!" declared Phil;
"she's been to school twice in Los
Angeles and seen the wild west show.
Yes. sir. she's just like an American
girl and speaks English perfectly. She
told me she didn't like the Mexican
men-they were too stuck on them
selves-and say, Bud, when | told her
you were a genuine Texas cowboy,
what do you think she said?"
"W'y, I don't know" answered Bud,
smiling broadly in anticipation; what
did she say?"
"She said she'd like to know you'll"
"She did not!" came back Bud with
sudden spirit.
Then he laughed the thought away,
a great burden seemed to be lifted
from his heart, and he found himself
happy again.
