To the average person an air derby
would not offer a plausible setting for

tended the performance Of Take the

tractive and diverting manner. The
show is to be given again tonight, and
those who did not have an oppor-
tunity to attend the first perform
arce will not want to miss this clever
and rolicking comedy, put on under
the auspices OF the American Legion

It Is probable that the buffoonery
Of Bruce Doyle. as Big Ben. the ex-
pugilist. drew more laughs than any
other, for he was at times convuls-
ingly funny. But he shared honors
with Harold c. Beall. as Christopher
Wrigley, the book agent: Sadie. the

to the hilarity.

The singing Of Miss Marian Sandin

joyable part Of the entertainment.

Added to this were the catchy and
tuneful numbers by the chorus Of &C

There is no dinner" the woman
assured him dramatically, throw
ing her hands heavenward and do
ing her best with her acquired Gaelic
shrug.
''Then we will go out. Come along,
Carmel, old girl; you're wasting your
talent on me-" Brent told her. IT

ber.'
"VOU are fool" Carmel returned
spitefully. eff you weren't such

how I hate to be reminded of that
East Side and yet you never forget it.

Well. even fools must eat, my dear.

room in haste, but Brent waited,
knowing that she would return when
she felt she had taxed his patience
to the utmost
What vast relief it would be to
fill her place in his life with Helen
Page, Helen Page! Brent frowned
over his next thought. Could he in
duce her to fill that place? Wouldn't
it be better perhaps to chuck the
whole scheme of things and let her
go her own way. No, she was too
valuable, much too valuable. He
would find use for her.
Carmel broke in upon his
thoughts, surprising him by her
abrupt return. He wondered about
is but she said simply that she was
hungry.
Brent smiled over her revelation
of a. temperament, controlled by
appetite and thought of Helen, who
could not eat when her sensibilities
were wounded.
What was your businezz? she
said softly. slipping her arm in his
and turning dazzling smile upon
him.
Had to see dark man with a
bundle" Brent teased. And Carmel
knew him well enough to give up
questioning him further. She pulled
her arm away and drew her light
evening wrap closer about her slen-
derby voluptuous figure.
But her question had sent Brent's
mind back to the old beggar he had
met in the coffee house. The en-
counter already seemed a bit fan
tastic, but there was one thing he
had set his mind on doing before
he dropped the matter.

GEORGE BENEFITS MONEY
BY E. w. HOWE.

When she walked into his wretched
home, he said:
We'll. Mary. here's where your father
lives"
Just that-no complaint of neglect
And his daughter burst out crying. She
had been hearing from her mother that
he was rich and would do nothing for
them because of meanness.
His daughter was not well of herself,
but she did q great deal to make her
father more comfortable.
And after she went away a number
Of us sent him all sorts Of things and
said they came from his daughter Mary.
He had almost become blind lately,
and I pretended to read letters to him
from his daughter inclosing money in
my care and making suggestions for
his comfort. The neighbor men did it.,
but old George will never know.
And the kindness of his daughter
Mary always pleased him. The women
said they supposed the old wretch should
be taken care of In spite Of his mean
ness, but the men contributed without
comment of any kind, except that they
had known him many years and knew
no harm in him.
