devil he was, he said to himself
Sitting there and looking upon the pleasant scenes
and thinking upon his forty millions Mortimer had an
inspiration. Why not invite the whole cast and the
chorus of "Hinky-Pinkey' as the show was called,
out to lobstery with him after the performance and
see if these play acting people bad as they were
painted by the late Mrs. Mudd No sooner said than
done.
And so one thing led to another and finally Moti-
mer had second great, big bright burning thought
These airplanes were something new and seemed to
furnish good way to spend money. Why not go to
this Paris, France, place of which people spoke so
well and take the whole dad-blamed ''Hinky-Pnkey"

Thus we come down to the present day and the

case will have to be left the basis that he did and
that he got lots of 1T.
But upon the aforementioned demise of the boss
of the Mudd menage there came GREAT CHANGE.
Mudd sorowed befitting the occasion and it real
sorrow too, for Mortimer had always had the greatest
respect and admiration for person who could
petey and consistently personally conduct him along
the highways and byways of life. However, eventu-
ally he began to and sat down day to sort
of think things over The conclusion he reached was
this that he had been reptile long enough and that
henceforth the Prunela Pitts of this world had best
stand forth from his path for he going to assert
himself. With all the scads of coin he had tucked
away to back him this looked to be comparatively
easy.
At this pregnant moment unlucky Prunela got in
the way. What fright she did get She hasn't re-

Mudd never had even one vote in his own home. Mrs.

Very Much ex-Great Admiral Won Tir-

not be expected from America.
OF course, those Germans VINO, IN

There are many, very many. Gei :

I never was in Bremen. | never ad-

themselves called ruthless submarine
