1t appears as II Dad Lee wer
not only attempting to prove t.
me that his speaking to Ros,
meant nothing in particular, but

Lee and me, leaving Rosa practi.
cally out of the reckoning.

father wouldn't want to force
himself on any acquaintance OF

Dad Lee dejectedly. You can say

"Oh-don't"' cried, In great
distaste. II don't like your pose
of rescuing a friend Of mine; but
when a man of your age leers
about beauty in distress, it's-its
more than 1 can bear"
Then, why do you think I spoke
to Mrs. Cordova?" he insisted.
why do I think you rushed up
to a strange woman on the street
and overwhelmed her, with the
declaration that you are my
father? l don't know. The plans
you and Dick West draw up are
too much for me-" l confessed with
deliberation.

How can you call Mrs. Cordova

II was unsufferable.
DO you think that's the way

loves? DO you think man who
had one scrap OF natural affection

cried, besides myself with the

I'm inclined to think that the

She uses good sparkling water,

beauty tonic.
The daily bath has become

that she's better off, because II
