ANDREW AND
INOGENE
BY ROE FULKERsON

Wouldn't you rather have bull
dog to carry around in the car with
your" asked Andrew, pulling the ears
of Virginia. Creeper, the Dachshund.
TYou will soon be taking little runs
into the country now, and a bulldog
would be more protection than this
little mutt
No, indeed, 1 would not" protest
ed Imogene. Virginia is a nice,
comfortable, sleepy dog, and that's
the kind | like, and, besides, size
matches the slip covers on the car
and my motor coat, too.
"Then, again, Andrew, that's the
way Mary MISSY lost her husband
did the bulldog eat him, or just
chase him off the placer"
Neither" replied Imogene, but
their divorce was a adirect outgrowth
of his giving her bulldog for the
little car she drives.
THE dog was a nice sort OF dog
at that, but a rowdy one, and ii used
to love to sec her husband come home
because he always played with it and
raced around everywhere she went.
She was rather delicate and the doe
tor used to tell her to get out and
get the country air as much as pos
sible, so she and the dog tourned the
country around here lot, and the
dog was very faithful to her. too.
Her husband used to always ask
her where she was going and tod
her always that he felt better if he
knew what direction she had gone,
for then he could sit at his desk and
and imagine she and the dog bowling
along the road, and besides If he ever
heard of an auto accident out in the
suburbs he would not worry about
it if he knew she had not gone out
that general direction.
so she used to call him up on the
phone each noon and tell that she
was going out to the shore road or
some place like that and he would
tell her he hoped she would have a
good time.
Andrew, men are certainly de-
| ceitful.
DO you know that all the time he
and another broker were getting
away from business and going JOY
riding with horrid girls from a bur-
lesque show and he wanted to know
where she was going so he could go
out some other road himself.
We'll, one day Mary went down the
shore road and she found that they
were making some repairs and the
shore road was shut off so she came
back and went out another road and
was running along when all of a sud
den her engine began missing and
she knew from the sound there was
dirty spark plug and she got out to
put in another one.
while she was working a big car
came along and she thought she saw
a man and a woman in the front sea.
and another in the back. But when
the car got close there was a man
and a woman in the front seat and
girl in the back with a big robe
pulled up TO her chin.
"The car stopped and the man
asked if he could be of any help, and
as there were two ladies with him
Mary allowed him TO get out and help
her with the spark plug while the
dog ran around the two cars.
THE dog went over to the big car
and began to bark and the woman
tried to scold him, and make him go
away, but he would not and IIary
called him, too, but the dog sudden
ly sprang up on the running board
of the big car and in a moment was
in the big car and worrying the robe
she had drawn over her. Mary rushed
to help, and when she looked In the
car the dog had dragged the robe
aside and there was her husband.
HE had seen her and slipped down
on the floor and covered himself Wit.
that robe and the dog had uncovered
him.
.of course, the man in the front
did not know Who Mary was or he
would not have stopped. so she di-
verced her husband, and, / do not
want any bulldog in my car"
ME either, guess" said Andrew
smiling.
