do, Mrs. Pelky. Where's Herb"
And she says, kind Of sharp :;
How would | know? haven't seen
him since noon. Have you:"
AS it happened, ] hadn't. but
know how ensy it is sometimes. to
lose track OF how the time is passing,
so j says:
4 NEW RULING.
He must have been kept at that
important conference he was having
with that big visitor that knows
everybody"
What big visitor" she says.
What's his name?'

She laughs and goes on without
another word. She is having good
time, all right. but that laugh sounds
TO me like it had q hereafter to it.
So it strikes me that as good Ro-
tary brOther-service before self,
and all that-Td better hunt Herb
up and tell him il would be good
idea for him TO be waiting for her
outside that thcater when the party
lets out.
| didn't have much trouble finding
him. Say, they've GOT the darndest
rule down there in San Antonio !.
You can open a jackpot on the
joker. OF course the joker is an ace
or any part of straight or flush,
same ~ it is anywhere else under the
Constitution and statutes Of the State
of Texas. but this gives more power
to it. Being able to open a pot on a
tour-flush or a four-straight. il part
of it is the little old cutter, makes a
fascinating set Of new problems in
Judgment.
INTERESTING SIGHTS.
Well, Lew and !. who roOmed
together. got up a little late the next
morning. having been kept up until
all hours that way. and after we'd
had some ham and eggs and coffee
and things. we intended TO 20 TO the
forenoon session. But Lew says it
disturbs o program like blazes to
have people come in late. and We'll
be busy there at the conference all
the afternoon anyway, because they
are going TO nominate Il new District
Governor and everybody has TO take
part in it. So he says suppose We
go give the town the once-Ovcr.
Did you ever see the Buckhorn?
II used 10 be a saloon, but ladies go
IN there now and drink ice cream
sodas and such. and it's got a collcc.
ton Of horns that is supposed to be
worth more than a hundred thousand
dollars. They are sure worth looking
at.
And there's a snake store, where
for two bits you can see and hear
don't know how many rattlerS, all
cooped up safe in wire boxes. Also
We saw the outside OF cathedral.
And then We got us an automobile
the flyers were doing all sorts OF
fancy stunts.
Being kind Of late when we got
back to town, we had missed the
regular lunch. so we went TO res
taurant that is owned by one of the
Rotarians, where they serve Mexican
grub with natural cooking but Amer
lean sanitation. Chill con carne and
tamales and friioles--you eat them
and shed tears of delight and repress
your desire to ring in a fire alarm.
BATHING BEACHES.
Well. after we'd paid for the four
lunches, these two friends Of Lew s
that we had run across had to go
back TO work, both Of them being
stenographers. so we said goodbye to
them and went out to breckenridge
Park. which some Of the best author
tiles in the United States have called
one of the most beautiful parks in
the country. There was picnic out
there for the Rotary ladies. They
have stone fircplaces 10 cook AT. and
stone tables. and swings, and q big
zoo with lions and buffaloes and
everything. and n bathing beach.
Say. don't any Of you fellows ever
miss that bathing beach, And there's
another big bathing pool at San
Pedro Park. We went there. Lew
and J. after We left BrackenridgS.
But all that was after the golf
game.
Lew had happened to bring his
clubs along, too, and couple ~
