For n year or more he had been a

Dale knew something was wrong

to suit him.
"A new cook making them" he told
himself. In tones akin 10 CONSERVATION.

He sampled the waffle and then got

latter answered:
"No: Jst's just gone on two
weeks vacation. Shes coming back

so Dale went without waffies for
two weeks. and was happy when Jaf
returned to her port In the kitchen.
No one else could satisfy the craving
Ct his inner man.
After his evening meal Date usually
went to musical show. whenever he
could find one, which was not often,
because the town was small and theat-
rical attractions not up to high stand

Finally he bought photograph. and
that helped some, although nothing
could take the place Of a real live mu-
slcian. He tried to be one himself. but
his voice had no more Music than n
eowbclI. and he simply couldn't make
hls fingers behave on the strings Of
violin, much less could he master the
art OF reading notes.
Came the day when Jat did quit her
Job at McSwenson's, and that day
found sorrow In Dale's heart. Life
would never be the same. He searched
the town over and finally located

"Why didn't get acquainted with
that girl and marry herr" he asked
himself many a time as he bit into
sirup-covered cake and shook his
head dismally over the taste Of It.
But II wouldn't have worked out

Finally Dale outgrew the town and
went to the city to try his luck. In
his birthplace he had made fair
living as a building contractor. but he
had worked hard. In the city he hap
pened to strike II Just right. and he
accumulated great deal more money
with much less effort. Less than two
years after his change he had small
fortune In the bank and a magnificent
home on fashionable street; but
there were two things lackIng-a com
panlon to share the home and an effl-
Client "waffler." He advertised far
and wide. and tried out at least twenty
cooks. but none could he find to ill

OF music there wns plenty. Near

or grand opera was the attraction. SO
he was well satisfied on that score.
The fact that his paatia home was

make him suitable wife. He found

Dates admlration-first because OF her
voice. and second because OF her phys
ical charms-from the time his eyes
first sested upon her.
Having a friend who knew man
who was well acquainted with the
manager of the theatcr. he contrlved to
get an Introduction. and during the
month that the company remained the
attraction there he wooed the new
found Ideal. AT the end OF the month
the company went on the road, but
with a new prima donna. Jessie had
consented to occupy the big house with
Dale.
Then how that house did resound
with music Jessie also was motor
enthusiast. and Dale bought her car
