and tore the coat tails right out.
Then Billy Belgium came to tha
rescue, He drove straight at Bald
Pate's knees in flying foot ball
tackle. Crashl Down went Bald
Pate on his nose just as his arms
were outstretched to grab the Dane
ing Damsel.
Gold Teeth tried to stop himself,
but-Peggy gave him 4 big shows
forward and sent him pitching over
Bald Pate into another thorny rose.
bush.
Now Gold Teeth really was mad.
The bumps and scratches put him
in an awful temper and he thrashed
out with his fist at the nearest OBJ
ject. That nearest object was Bald
Pate's eye And when the fist land
ed in Bald Pate's eye he became
fighting mad and kicked at Gold
Teeth. In an instant they were
pummeling each other like a couple
of angry schoolboys.
Meanwhile the Dancing Damsel
was climbing the grapevine trellis.

was in her wedding gown. 1t SEEM
ed that she would never gain the
top. Behind her, the two men sud-
denly remembered that while they
were fighting, she was escaping.
Quitting their quarrel, they grabbed
at her, but they grabbed too late.
The Boy Knight had appeared at
the top Of the wall and had snatched
his sweetheart out of their reach.
Bald Pate and Gold Teeth started
to climb the trellis in pursuit, but
here General and Mrs. Swallow took
hand. The General nipped Bald
Pate's ear, and Mrs. Swallow nipped
Gold Teeth's nose. At the same mo-
ment Peggy grasped Bald Pate's leg
and Billy grabbed Gold Teeth. Down
came the two crashing together.

attacked him, and Gold Teeth
thought the other way around. So
they both flew into an awful rage
and went at each other, madden
than ever.
The roar of an airplane sounded
right over head. Peggy and Billy
looked up. Soaring over the garden
were the Boy Knight and the Dane
in Damsel. They waved goodby
to their unseen helpers and sailed
away for the nearest parsonage to
be married. AS they rose over
the treetops, the first ray of the
rising sun caught them in a golden
glow. 1t seemed happy omen for
their welded future. ,t p,
