THE DAILY NOVELETTE,

Rulon Twiller was an architect Ninety prizes had he captured in col lege-alI of them for over $5. And not only that, but he had won medals and prize for scholarship for study abroad of the Fiji architecture
 One week before he sailed for the Fiji Islands, Erickson Mortter, a stu pendous contractor, called upon him.
 T want building on the corner of Skyblue and Pink avenues--to be fif- teen stories high--artistic on the out side and commercialistic on the in- side,' ordered the stupendous contrac- tor. T want ten elevators--one in each corner of the building-six sets of stairs, one set on each side of the building-mail shutes all over-fire escapes all around-offices, corner suites. storerooms and everything And on the outside I want fancy scrolls, pillars, cornices and statuary of cherubims and aphms-every- thing handsome you can think of
 Just one week later. the last toe on the last cherubim was finished on the plans and second later, the great contractor had thrust check for an awful lot into Rulon Twillers hand.
 About year afterwards, Rulon Twiller, the architect, received word tudl lHe puiuIHS was IlnlSneu. prop ping his studies, he boarded d steamer and rushed across the continent to see it:
 Yes. there it was-his wonderful building-the child of his brain.
 "A monument to my name and fame forever" he cried. ecstatieally I'd know that seven-p -pronged spire any wasn't it my very own idea"
 But" continued Rulon Twiller, puckering up his brows in perplexity. as he got within a half block of the huge building. That's queer" he muttered trifle wildly. Maybe somebody copied my building and there are two of 'em" And he swayed somewhat dizzily as he saw the build ing was on the corner of Skyblue and Pink avenues.
 And why? Why, because!
 Above the Corinthian door of his building--his masterpiece, stuck out a huge pink foot with Dr. Pettle, Chiropodist, written all over it. Above that to the right. was an enormous sign hanging from the neck of a cherubim announcing that "Rhino Corsets and Sampson Suspenders" could be bought inside. A handsome seraphim was staggering under the weight of a large sign fastened around his waist bearing the news that Unity Underwear" was made inside | and so on. all over the building until | nothing could be seen of it's beauty but windows peeping out and between 1 here and there.
 Taking in the horrible plastic scen- | cry once more, Rulon Twiller gave | seven low moans and disappeared 1 down sewer opening.

 An immense disappointment seized him. He carried his fruit and flowers to little table and deposited them Then he glanced around the studio The air was heavy with the perfume of the roses in one corner. Why, there were flowers everywherel Shir- ley had other admirers-he knew it. and the knowledge worried him.
 He returned to his own apartment considerably dashed.
 After a time the bangs of hunger seized him. He had had no midday meal today, and practically no tea. It was getting on for 8 o'clock. He would go to the Cafe del Ricardo and partake of a decent meal
 He proceeded towards the stairs. closing his studio door behind him At the first turn he collided violently with a slim, rainsoaked figure that was slowly ascending. It was Shirley MarShi
