BY Doris Batkin
1929 Graceland Ave.

Melba was the lovely daughter of
Le-Jeta. Don Pedro loved her, as
did many others. But to win a
smile from her there must be the
gift of a pearl. Her father had given
her priceless ones, and often gazing
at their loneliness became her one
obsession.
Don Pedro came one moonlight
night and she listened with a cold,
lazy smile on her lips as he sang his
love songs. Then she said: eff
you desire to make me your wife.
bring me a pearl, the rarest of ALL"
"Ah, yes" Don Pedro answered, 81
will bring a pearl worthy Of you"
For a long time Don Pedro was
away, with only a native diver as a
companion. He found the pearl,
the rarest OF all, the black pearl.
But death claimed him before he
could return.
Don Pedro's dying request was
for the trusted native to take the
pearl to Media. And so 1t was given
into her trembling. anxious hands,
but no comfort came to her by gaz.
ing at its beauty. for she realized
at last that Don Pedro's love itself
would have been more to her than
the most priceless pearl of all.

on to the fighters and So on. The
same stories are being passed around
Chicago hotel Hobbies now.
1t is our opinion, however, that
no one could reach either Dempsey
or Tunnev and in expressing that
opinion, the writer will have to
leave himself open to the charge of
being "small town.
The weather factor also is enter
ing into the discussion. Some Of
the experts figure that cold wealth
err or rain, such as poured down on
the fighters in Philadelphia will
help Tunney.
Tunney, living for months in the
New York mountains, probably can
get less chill out of the atmosphere
than Dempsey, who is Californian,
hut Dempsey did lot of his train
ing at night when it was chilly
enough for the spectators at his
camp to wear coats.
The sum-up, in our opinion, is all
a matter Of condition. Dempsey is
in condition and Dempsey in condi-
tons always has been better
