ANDREW AND

By ROE FULKERs0N

"It was Saturday noon and she had called for him at his office with the little car.
 Andrew" she said, "can you find something to do here for 15 minutes l have to run around to the depart ment store and get some hose know you do not like to go into department stores. and will be right back for you"
 "who Is afraid?" said Andrew boldly. "It strikes me that you need somebody to go with you to buy your socks. I never saw a human being buy as many as you do. If I were to judge by the bills, I would think l had married centipede instead of a biped.
 "I am going with you and I am going to see to it that there Is little economy practiced in the purchase of your stockings"
 Now Andrew" pleaded Imogene, please do not do this foolish thing. You know I never interfer with your purchases, and you do not know any thing about stockings"
 T don't, hey?" replied Andrew spiritedly. rye got no feet I sup pose. Come along. Me for the hosiery counter"

 When they came up to the hosiery counter the girl there smiled and spoke pleasantly to Imogene when she recognized as an old customer.

 "Yes, madam" said the girl. talk Ing down some boxes. She slipped her hand into stocking to show it's texture and then said: "This is a nice stocking for s2 a pair and ]"
 "Too thin" said Andrew, shortly.
 "Yes, sir" said the girl respect fully. "Now here Is a stocking" she took down another box. If you feel that you can afford to pay for so ex- pensive one, that is pure silk, every thread, and Is heavy and particularly close weave and
 "We1l take a half dozen of those," snapped Andrew, without asking the price.
 'Yes. sir" said the girl. Those will be black, of course, but the madam will have to have some white. pink, orchid ones and we arrange for that by putting up a box of one pair each of six assorted pastel colors which will match almost any sort of an evening gown and if they would not be too high for the gentleman, madam would like them, I know"
 She famed out half dozen colors of light shades and looked at An drew.
 "We will take those, too" said An drew shortly.
 The girl behind the counter looked at Imogene as she turned to wrap the bundles and her right eyelid lowered just a trifle and a tiny dimple came out at each corner of her mouth.
 Imogene took the bundle of stock ings and Andrew took out his wallet, saying How much?"
 Forty eight dollars for the hose and $40 war tax" said the girl sweetly.
 q have a bill here.'' said Imogene. quickly. Just charge them, please"
 As they walked out of the store Andrew turned and glared at her fiercely.
 eff you ever mention this transac- ton to me in any way" he said, "I will choak you, get that?'
 sYes. dear" said Imogene without smiling. But I can bring them back and get credit bill tomorrow"
 "You'll do no such da-"
 Andrew" cautioned Imogene, -"Don't you swear here in this store" !"
 "Then let's hurry out where l can cuss," he said grimly. "But if you ever take single pair of those stock ings back I'll leave you. Just let me pay that bill for I deserve it."
 "Yes, dear,' said Imogene suspi- ciously meek.

MORE TRUTH

THE LOST OPPORTUNITY i never heard those Wagner tunes of tunes they may be styied), Tn which the oboes and bassoons And fluegelhorns run wild, With that rapt-visaged reverence And warm, responsive glow Which better educated gents
 Than l are wont to show. Alas, far other thoughts are mine As the prodigious din Romps, roaring, down the noisy line, From drums to violin. I hear the harsh tympani clink, 1 hear the 'cellos croon Amid the rumpus, and I think That Wagner lived too soon. Poor chap, he died in 'Ss;
 He piled his simple art Full twenty years before the date That music got Its start. Had he been with us here today, In nineteen-twenty-o one, And written tunes, ah. who can say What he might not have donei For zip and go and dash and swing His harmonies displayed; He knew the use of everything
 By which a noise is made. He would have made a greater rol Than Irving Berlin has, If all the sounds that thronged hi,

Was One of Those
 Who Helped Fight Custer

Pierre, S. D.. June 21.-In the recent death of Chief Iron Tighten ing, at his home near Thunder Butte in the northwestern part of the Cheyenne Indian reservation. the country lost probably the greatest of the few remaining famous Indian characters who figured in the early history of Dakota Territory.
 Iron Tightening was one of the sub-chieGs. who under sitting Sui1, participated in the memorable bat tie of the Little Big Horn. June 25. 1876. when Custer and his band Of 26l men were annihilated. He is said to be the last of the chiefs who were in control of the Sioux Nation at that time. He was I6 years old at the time of his death and has for years made his home in the vicinity of Thunder Butte section.
 Unusually tall and we'll propor- toned. even for an Indian. and pos sessing q voice which commanded attention and obedience although it knew no word of English. Iron Tightening was a natural leader ol men. In the early part of this cen- tury following the Ute Indian mp' rising. when the Utes had been rounded up and sent to the Cheyenne reservation. it was Iron Tightening who went among them urgips them to forget their grievance with the whites and settle down to peaceful lives.
 He was the last Indian. so far as is known. to have continued to live with two wives after the ordc: pro hibiting poylgamy and further poly gamous marriages among. the h. dians was made. Iron frightening was called to the Thunder Butte station when this order was received and told he must choose between the two women with whom he was then living.
 "If the Commissioner has lived with one woman" the chief replied in Indian, he will know how i'm possible it is for Iron Tightening to separate himself from two. Iron Tightening laughs"
 This speech won for him his case and the two wives were retained They lived together in harmony, one doing the cooking r--Ihe family which among the Indians is regarded as an honor. for one week when the other came into power for like period.
