Early one afternoon the captain of a steamer in ballast saw the track of a torpedo coming direct for his ship. By quick swing he succeeded in avoiding it. Then the u-boat came out of the water and opened fire one of his shells piercing the deck and wreclsing the second cooks cabin. The steamer replied valiansly and the encounter continued for four hours, the steamer going at top speed all the time and keeping the submarines dead astern. A shot from the steam CT struck the submarine amidships but failed to do sufficient injury to force the German to discontinue the action. But after four hours, the steamer got the submarine into a smoke cloud, and a shell appeared to burst close to the u-boat's bow. after which the enemy quit the chase.

GERS. Uncle Peter has a perfect hor-
ror Of these modern dances and
Peaches and Alice and share 1t with
him." Then she turned to key. Don't
you think these modern dences are
perfectly disgusting?"
Poor key looked reproachfully at
the old lady second, then with gath
ering establishment he slid silently
or the chair and struck the floor with
q bump.
Aunt Martha was so ratified over
this unexpected effort on Mr..
Schwartz's part that she upset her
coffee and key got most of 1t in the
back Of the neck.
When peace was finally restored the
old lady came to the surface with an
envelope which had been lying on the
table near her plate.
rs this your letter, JohnT she
asked. and then arranging her
glasses, read with great elaboration:

Peaches and Alice went into the
ice business right away quick.
Aunt Martha in panied surprise
looked at me and then at Bunch and

low his palate. so II wouldn't interfere
with the wet spell suggested by Bunch.
key belonged to the dis. dose and

Every long sentence he uttered was
full Of splintered grammar.
There was surely something wrong
with keys switchboard. because he
could wrap his system around more
Indian laughing Juice without getting
lit up than any other man In the
world.
But key was the compliments OF
the season, all right. all right.
The luncheon had been ordered and
Bunch was just about to switch the
conversation around to the subject OF
rebates when suddenly his eyes took
on the appearance of saucers and, tap
ping me on the arm, he gasped,

and Aunt Martha sailing over In our
direction.
With q whispered admonition to
Bunch to keep key still went for
ward to meet friend wife, her aunt and
Alice.
They were as much surprised as

1T was such n delightful day that
Aunt Martha couldn't resist the temp

ratified on; land then we decided to
come here for q bit of luncheon

John, hadn't we better take another
table SO that your friendly conference
may not be interruptedT
fastened to assure Peaches that
It wasn't conference at all. We had
met Mr.. Schwartz quite by accident.
Then introduced key to the ladies.
He got up and did something that
was supposed to be bow, but you
couldn't tell whether he was tying his
shoe or coming down stepladder.
After they had ordered club sand
witches and coffee I explained to
Peaches and the others that Mr..
Schwartz was real estate dealer.

Bunch and 1 are going in a little
deal with Mr.. Schwartz" I explained.
He knows the real estate business
backward. He, Schwartz, has fad
for collecting apartment houses. He
owns the largest assortment Of People
Coops in the city. All the modern Inn
provements, too. Hot and cold win
dows, running gas and noiseless Jan
itors. Mr. Schwartz is the inventor
of the idea of having two baths in
every apartment SO that the lessees
will have less excuse for not being
water broke"
Ikey never cracked smile.
I'm Mr.. Schwartz's apartment
houses" / continued, while Bunch
kicked my shins under the table, you
will find self-freezing refrigerators
and self-leaving servants. All the
rooms are light rooms, when you light
the gas. Two of his houses overlook
the park and all of them overlook
the building laws. The floors are
made of concrete, 80 that II you want
to bring horse In the parlor you can
do so without kicking OF the plaster
in the fiat below. Every room has fold
ing doors. and when the water pipes
burst the janitor has folding arms"
"Quit your joshing. John! You'll
embarrass Mr.. Schwartz" laughed
Bunch somewhat nervously, but keys
grin never fickered.

Peaches whispered.
"Intermittently So" I whispered
back; sometimes for hours at q time
he cannot speak word and can hear
only the loudest tones"
Aunt Martha heard my comment on
Keys infirmity and was about to be-
come intensely sympathetic and tell
him how her brothers wife was cured
when Bunch interrupted loudly by ask
ing after Uncle Peters health.
Never better" answered Aunt
Martha. He has spent all the morn

into the next room came Alice and
Peaches and sat down for their usual
cackle.
Bunch and started from our
reveries when we heard Alice say to
Peaches, "You don't know what a
source of comfort it has been to me
to realize that Bunch doesn't know a
blessed thing about the tango or any
of those hatefully intimate new
Dances"
The same with me, Alice,' friend
wife chirped in. Il believe IL John
were to suddenly display ability to
dance the tango I'd be broken-hearted.
Naturally, I'd know that he must have
learned 1t with wicked companion

and then we both looked out the win

For my part" Alice went on; Il

At this point Aunt Martha buxzed
into the other room and the cackle
took on another complexion.
In the meantime Bunch and ] had
passed away.
IT'S cold turkey" whispered.
i've been in the refrigerator for ten
minutes and I'm chilled TO the bone.'
Bunch whispered back.

on Bunch having few freak ideas in

Bunch and his wife. Alice, live out
In Westchester county, about half
mile from Uncle Peters bungalow.
where friend wife and I are spending
the winter.
The fact that Uncle Peter and Aunt
Martha had decided to give us party
was the inspiration for Bunch's bril-
liant idea.
Listen, john" he macchiavellied;
mot one of this push out here knows
. thing about the tango. Most of them
have q foolish idea that it's wicked
institution invented by the devil who
sold his patent rights to the Evil-Do-
ers association. Now. I'll tell you
what well do, John: Well put them
wise. Well take about two lessons
from . good instructor in town and on
the night of the party we'll make the
hit of our lives teaching them all to
tango. Are you James to the POSSIBLE

agreed; but will couple of lessons
be enough for us?"

We can learn enough in two lessons to
make good in this boob community.
Why, well start tango craze out
here that will put life and ginger in
the whole outfit and presently they'll
be putting up statues in our honor"
Well, to make long story lose its
cunning, we made arrangements next
day with key Schwartz, dancing in
structor. to explain the mysteries of
this modern home-wrecking PROPOSE
ton known as the tango, and paid him
in advance the sum of 500.
We made an appointment to meet
key at his studio" for our first les.
son the following afternoon. Then
we hiked for home on the Ala. well
pleased with our investment and its
promise of golden returns.
That night Bunch and Alice were
over to our place for dinner. After
dinner Bunch and sat down by the
log fire In the Dutch room, filed our
faces with Havana panatellas and pro
iceeded to enjoy life in silence.

to the rescue while I came out of the

Ikey delivered the goods.
In a minute he had both paws

twisting no mortal man ever INDUCED

pref, that the letter Is not his. Il
