p~icious of that bump in the bed ev-
er since / came in to tell you the
bedtime story. I knew that Bow
ser'd nave to come out for air soon
er or later and would start to wig
gle. How'd you ever think that dog
could sleep under covers this kind
of weather? If you are determined
to slep with Bowser you'n have to
go out in the wood-shed where he
belongs. You're with him every
minute of the day. I should think
you'd be glad to get rid of him at
night.
What's that Betty? You want to
hear the bedtime story right now.
Very well. What did you say Jun
ior? How does daddy know the
bedtime story before it comes over
the radiophone? 1 thought I ex-
planned that last night. Daddy
gets an advance copy of the story,
so that in case Michigan City starts
holding a conversation with Miiwau-
kee through K. Y. W. he will know
what the radio is supposed to be say
ing.
Now. wherewere we last night
Oh. yes. Tony Taper was on his
way to the Isle of Hilo to collect
the rent from his tenant, Doc shar-
rer who was sitting pretty on the
throne once more after having been
thrown to the sharks and escaping
almost certain death.
DOC HEARS BAD NEWS
Well, when Doc heard that Tony
was coming to get the rent for his
offices in the Taper block he buzzed
into the Queens ear. This guy
Tony that's coming is an Eyetalian'
said Doc.
What's an Eyetalian sweetheart
asked the Queen playing with Docs
golden curls.
IAN Eyetalian, Light Of My Life,
is a Wop," said Doc. You can al
ways tell an Eyetalian by his name
All OF them are named Tony"
win the naughty Eyetalian hurt
my ootzie wootzie?' crooned the
queen.
That amt the half Of it oueenie.''
says Doc. Every month for ten
years this Wop has been coming up
DO you know what that is?"
mo. itze bite toosie. what IS coll
Letting h rent?" pipes the Queen.
COLLECTING the rent is the same
as being King ove here except you
don't have to worry about no revo-
lutions.'
What do you want me to do with
this Eyetalian. Ducky?" asked the
Queen. Shall I have his throat
| cut?"
No says Doc. that wouldn't
do. He's got a $3.50 oo policy in my
insurance company. "Oh. for the
Love of Mike. queen don't have
his throat cut. Promise you won't
have his throat cut. That's a lot
of dough. queen"
What shall I do then, Heavenly
Eyes?"
The Doc took another drink of
Wakwak. II got it, he said. Turn
the hula hula girls loose. Take him
down to the beach where the trop-
ical noon filters through the leaves
of the palm trees and meeting the
surf of the ocean casts a spell upon
all men. Wen make a regular Ru-
dolph Valentino out of this Eyetal-
fam
PLOTS AGAINST TONY
Whereupon the queen sent mes
, sengcrs to all the villages in the
Island with orders to mobilize the
Hula Hula dancers and have them at
the pier in the morning when the
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Com
pany's tug boat came in with Tony
| Taper abroad.
The king and queen were there In
their finest grass robes and beads
and Clint Norris carried the queens

put handouts on Clint so tina he
couldn't slip up from behind and
put over a haymaker on the jaw.
Well. Tony got off the boat with
Constables Maurice Dobson and Jul
ius Taussig and a writ of eviction
from Justice of the Peace Charles
Friedrich and Doc almost tainted.
Start the music" Doc whispered
to the queen. and dance yourself
And so the queen and all the girls
danced and danced and Tony didn't
pay no attention at all and he would
have thrown the king and queen
right off the Island and too pos
session. but his c%onstables was all
wrapped up in the queen and the girls
and he couldn't get them to serve
the papers.
THE SPELL FAILS
That night Tony went looking for
Maurice and Julius and he went
down to the beach where the tropi-
cal moon filters through the leaves
Of the palm trees and meets the
surf of the ocean casting a spell up
on all men-except Tony Taper.
The ukeles were tinkline and the
girls were dancing but IL didn't
phase Tony.
And the next day Tony served the
papers himself and threw the king
and queen and all the dancers out
of the palace and put up a sign
which said. For Rent. Apply A.
H.. Taper, Hammond. Ind" U. S. A.
I thought you said that guy was
an Eyetalian." shouted the queen to
Doc. IF he's an EyetaIian I'm an
Eskimo"
And so the queen had Doc thrown
to the sharks again.
