Listen to that!'
There came a sudden hard pat

ON the outside of the building.
Tom smiled ae her oddly for a
second. II ask you If you're in

me that this restaurant is a wild

"I'll just dash out and put the

And before she could stop him
he was gone.
She took out her powder puff
and rubbed the shine from her
pretty nose, moistened her lips
with perfume from tiny bottle
of cologne that she carried in her
handbag.
When she looked up man was
standing beNde her table. It
was the stout blond man who had

the Jazz band.
The man with the flask looked
at her stupidity for a second,
then he shook his finger at her
and roared, Don't you baby-eye
me like that, Dollyv'a He thought
she was trying to flirt with him,
evidently. She looked away.
, Lets dance" the man who
had taken Toms chair suggested
good naturally. II may be a bit
overweight, but my middle name
is Charleston, just the samey!'
Mary Rose gathered up her
gloves, her handkerchief, and her
shabby handbag. She stood up.
At that moment she saw Tom
making his way slowly toward
her through the sea Of tables.
His hair and face were wet, and.
there were spots Of rain on his
light gray suit.
Mary Rose had never been so
glad to see any one in her life,
as she was to see him at that
moment. She went toward him.

promptly with decision.
Not any one?"
Mary Roses voice quivered.
But she told the truth.
Not any one-who's ever tried
to hold them she said, looking
away.
Mary Rose, you're in love with
some one. I've known it, some
how, all along" he answered,
after q long silence. WHO Is it?''

Mary Rose bit her lip, and
her hands twisted tightly in her
lap.
1t was not going to be the
easiest thing in the world to tell
Tom that she was in love with
another man-especially when
that man was engaged to marry
Doris HING!
She turned her troubled eyes
away from him, and looked at
the bright noisy room.
It was packed now. Girls sat
at the tables, openly painting
their lips as they smiled across
at their escorts. Through the,
thick haze of cigaret smoke that
hung in the air, Mary Rose
watched the dancers jostle each
other to the half-savage music
Of the jazz band. Some of the
girls had their heads pressed
close against their partners

to my letters, and settled down
to wait patiently as possible Tor
results.
About the fifth day I was called
to the Jail rotunda, and went
down the iron stairs confident
that the sheriff had received the
money and that was about to
be released on bond.
I was much disappointed when
the jailer conducted me to a
strange man who awaited me at
the lawyers table. The visitor
gave me his name, which have
forgotten, and then stated that
he was representing Judge Scott,
of Dallas, "'in a little matter re-
quiring immediate attention.
The little matter" proved to
be legal notice from Mildred,
in duplicate, advising me that
she was applying for divorce.
I could scarcely credit my
senses. 1 had, of course, given
a great deal of thought as to
how my conduct would affect my
wife, and remembered her
solemn declaration that If ! ever
went on another spree she would
apply for divorce.
I had concluded during the long
Jail nights that she would un-
questionably keep her word, and
felt that she was justified in so
doing. But had reasoned that
she would not make such move

divorced me, and that had no

Tests Seek To Develop Standard Mail Plane

CHICAGO, Aug. F. (P-On the Monmouth-Maywood air mail expert mental track are being tested eight new different types of airplanes from which it is hoped to develop a stan dard mail plane.
 The all-metal monoplane, the first of the Ford series, is capable of car rying 1000 pounds or more of mail, while the Carrier Pigeon" and "Mer- cury" have similar capacity. The others include a World Cruiser" type, a Boeing, a Huff7Deland and a Cox-Clemens.
 Present air mail planes of the De- Haviland type carry only 800 pounds of mail, due to lack of cubic capa- city.
 Since the minute army airplanes have visited the Haywood hangars, the aerial postmen have be- come a bit discontented with their 100-mile-an-hour cruisers. If the new type planes carry several hundred pounds more mail and fly only 95 miles per hour, they are likely to be declared "too slow" by the pilots. This may seem queer to non-fliers, but to airmen it is logical, for speed in the air means better control. Control in turn means a greater safe- ty for the pilot and his cargo.
 From experiments with the new type planes it is desired to develop a more efficient plane to be built in quantity.
