ANDREW AND IMOGENE
BY ROE FULKERSON.

"Who is that woman" said Imogene as
they sat at the table in the roof garden.
what woman?" asked Andrew, in sur
prised tone.
1.-THE woman you are looking at over my
shoulder she said promptly.
"Why honey" said Andrew, there is no
woman in my range Of vision in that direc-
ton. If I have been looking that way more
often than any other it is because bunch
of walters are over there and to judge from
their gestures they are trying to settle a.
walters strike.
IT wish you would not be suspicious OF
me? Have you ever seen me make eyes at a
woman in public place? Have you ever
known me to do anything which would make
you suspicious Of me? IN
81 tell you right now, honey, that your
jealousy is the one fly in our matrimonial
ointment and n the life of me cannot see
how you can keep it up or what causes tit"
"It is not anything have seen," said limo
gene, thoughtfully. ut is what you told me
before we were married..
''''ou told me that you had been a bad man
and had flirted with women and had had en-
tang. e4-.ents that you regretted now that you
had met me. ~ 4
"You told me that you were unworthy Of
me and that all you had to offer me was what
was left of a misspent life, and that you
knew that the influence Of my pure love was
life that was really worth while and that Just
knowing me and being with me would give
you / great uplift. i.
"You said, Andrew, that you had always
believed until you met me that this thing
people call love was just foolishness and that
you had played at it and laughed and gone on
your way little imagining what 1t was. That
il you had hurt anyone, If you had left sad
ness in the heart of any woman with whom
you had come in contact you bitterly re-.
GREETED it now that you know what love was.
''It was sweet Of YOU GEAR, to confess to
me as you did. / was glad you were SO III
est but you cannot blame me II I saw from
the way you spoke that you, had been .lirt
leaving trail of broken hearts behind you
wherever you went. 4
"You must not blame me now, either, II
I recall these things now when see you look.
ing at other women and chatting with them
know you can fascinate every woman. you
see because you confessed 1t before we were
married and am always so afraid that you
will tire of me and that some other woman
will take you from me.
"It is not as II you were some one who had.
never made love to other women. watch
you around other women just as I would
watch you around a crowd Of men If YOU
were reformed poker player"
Honey" said Andrew, "Bill Tompkins
was up in Maine on a canoeing expedition
when deer were not in season. One night In
little hotel he told stranger that he had
shot nine deer and a moose that day along
the stream. The stranger asked DO you
know who am?' Bill said NO, he did not.'e
I am the game warden of this county, re-
piled the stranger. DO you know who'll amp
parted Bill No, I do not replied the game
warden. I am the biggest liar in the state OF
Name said Bill, sadly. L never killed deer
in my life.' So dearie, please forget the vain-
glorious boastings of beardless youth who
wanted to cover his love-making with glam-
or Of romance and just remember at that
time was the biggest liar in the state"
