1t was the end for poor Josie!
SO, with myself little things have
altered the course Of my life some
times for good, sometimes. =.
There was that affair with the
Princess Marmola of Greece. 1t all
hinged on a wishbone, the tiny wish
bone of a quail. Shall ] ever forget
the night, dining at the Embassy,
when she looked across the table
with those lustrous, prune-broWn
eyes of hers and cried: Il have the
Wishbone"
l nodded. "We'i wish, later :"
my glance said. We did so, in the
conservatory, after drying the wish
bone on one OF the steam pipes. The
Princess won. What did you wish ?"
| asked. She buried her face among
my decorations. THAT l might be-
come your wife" she whispered.
What was a man Of honor to do?
Also, remember the prune-broWn
eyes. We stole from the palace and
hailed Il taxi. "Whither?" asked the
driver. "Anywhere. out of Greece"
was my reply.
Sensing our excitement the fellow
drove like mad! At the first corner
he crashed into a fruit stand. The
taxi was overturned! l came to in

change may be made by the state
attorney generals office, Deputy At
torney General keyes Winter said
yesterday during the inquiry before
Supreme Court Justice Ford into
the methods OF the Consolidated
Stock Exchange.
Such an Investigation was suggest
ed by Justice Ford, who was aroused
by evidence OF fictitious trading" on
the consolidated in which large sales
and purchases were made without
any actual exchange Of the stocks
involved.
at seems to me-" said Justice
Ford. that the only difference be-
tween the two exchanges Is that one
has greater financial standing than
the other-more prestige. don't
see why you are going after the 1T
tie fellows and letting the big fell
