NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER LII
you mean Celia began and
then she stopped. From the ex-
preston of Evelyn Parsons face
there was no doubt that what tbs
woman had said was true.
Mrs. Parsons laughed and the
sound was strident. Il mean just
what 1 said" Evelyn continued
Your father has asked me to be his
vife-and l have accepted. / must
say I'm disappointed. Celia. YoJ
cont look very pleased!'
The girl was staring at her. For
a moment she said nothing. Then
she leaned forward cycling Evelyn
appealingly and the words burst
forth:
But I thought mean when
mother comes back-oh, Evelyn. il
wouldn't be right You wouldn't dc
such a thingi Mother loves him
still. I know she does"
Evelyn Parsons shoulders straight
tened. so YOU disapprovei' she
said coldly. Really. my dear. ]
think it would have been more polite
If you concealed your feelings. After
all. your father and / are both
grown adults able TO think for our
selves. / had no idea you disliked
me so muchl"
"Oh. it isn't thatI OF course I
don't dislike you. Please don't think
me %ungrateful for all you've donel
But don't you see what they both
mean TO me? Mother"
There is no need for you to say
any more. And I shall tell you
frankly that if your mother were
in this very DON tonight begging
me to give him up 1t would not alter
nv plans in the slightest. DO you
think Id LET your father make a
fool Of himself over that z
second time? DO YOU think I have
no feelings? No rights? Why do YOU

BAD Business
Johnny Pickett is a good hunter.
He knows how to track deer. knows
the good places to get ducks and
geese.
But sometimes he has bad luck.
In fact. he had rotten luck about
two weeks ago.
He was out in the brush hunting
no. deer. OF course. for the sea-
son wasn't opened-a nd wasn't
having much luck of the right kind.
Then. all Of a sudden. he had a
chance for an excellent shot.
He threw the gun 10 his shoulder
and pulled the trigger. The result
was a terrible explosion and the
gun curled up in his hands.
Unfortunately he had gotten
some mud in the barrel.

Smuggling
An Associated Dispatch in Tues
days Herald told of booze snug
Cling up near Detroit by airplane.
According TO the story, the snug
slers were using about 30 planes.
Which recalls TO our mind that
about three years ago a friend OF
ours. who was an aviator. was ap-
preached with a similar offer from
a Texas syndicate. to fly booze
across the border and land near
Corpus Christi. The pay
lucrative but the mans conscience
was stronger. He was offered about
81 900 a month. a plane, and all he
had TO do was fly twice a week. AT
the loading end, men would load
his plane, and when he landed In
the United States, others would
unload 1t.
But re turned the offer down
flat.
It's highly possible, though. that
something Of this nature is going
on right now. What can be done
about it? Not much, we guess.
Austin Goes Boom
Monday night one Of those baby
Austin cars was subjected to rather
rough treatment in Matamoros.
The owner had left ii parked on
the street while he went inside "a
gobble pretzels. and a crowd
gathered around the pint auto
Several began testing their power
BY lifting the car. One didn't know
his own strength and the car fell
on It's side. And that's the position
Il was in when the owner found
il later.
If We owned an Austin. We
wouldn't feel badly about that.
What would worry us. though,
would be the fear that some heftv
individual would pick II I'D and
take 1t home for the kiddies to
play with.

The Once Over
HELP THE POOR BOoTLEGGER

1880. by The Associated Newspapers)

Copyright, 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)
The bootlegging business is in a depression. Never
since prohibition. according TO reports, have the boot
leggers had such a hard time making a dishonest
living.
Many Of them are in such dire straits that they
don't know where the wife's next diamond necklace
is coming from.
They are having a difficult struggle to keep the
wolf from the labelling plant.
Unless better times come very soon thousands of
our best known bootleggers will have to give up their
private yachts, get along with one limousine and sub
lease their hunting estates.
In some cities the supply so far exceeds the de-
mand that they have stopped cutting the liquor with
water. industrial alcohol, piano polish and coloring
extracts.
During the prosperous era there was no industry
that doomed more than the liquor industry. The boys
didn't even have TO send out statesmen. Orders pour
ed in over the telephone and all shipments were made
collect on delivery. The policy was never to give a
customer an even break.

than the liquor itself was the schedule of prices. II
he could survive both he was a Grade A insurance
risk.
The roar Of the bootleggers' trucks was loud in the
land and great was the prosperity Of the poison ped
dlers. Prices were subject to increase without notice
and it was not considered cricket for a buyer TO make
any critical comment if he opened a bottle marked
Rare Old Parr Rye" and found it to contain raw
turpentine.
Now all Is changed. Buy Now" would have been
a great slogan in the old saloon days but 1t is a dud
as a business promoter in the alcohol industry.
Since the market break of a year ago the custom
ers have practically withdrawn in a body and con-
ditions have reached a point where the bootleggers
are almost ready to turn honest.
They are even ready to sell stuff in the original
bottle.
Some Of the largest bootleggers are e%conomizing to
such an extent that they have closed their art de-
partments and are using only one design of label.
"
The boys are really in a bad way. They could get
a better break selling apples on street corners. II
the situation gets any worse you may see the unprece-
dented spectacle Of bootleggers in bread lines.
And if you do we hope the bread they get is syn
thetic and incorrectly labeled.
