Worry, illness or age may rob

shape and color remain the

the Sour-dough femme carries
hers dropping or chucked in

At that moment Wallace, the
hated Wallace, walked by. He
stopped before Butch and
Morgan.

ordered. Come with mel

AS Morgan followed him,
puzzled beyond imagination he
saw Butch's face tighten up in
an understanding way. and he
nodded his head and whispered
to Dopey, indicating Morgan.
Morgan vehemently shook his
head. and walked on after Wal
lace.
Wallace led Morgan right
through to the warden'S office.
The warden was talking to Pop
Riker, the lovable old guard.

Coolly, with the Scrackle of ice.
Mr.. Barnes fell back Imply
in his chair. Beads of perSpira-

He rubbed the offended finger.
Holy mak'rel." he muttered.
Little strangersh hardboiled!"
The sight of Raquel's barred
teeth awakened an answering
Snarl in him.
Look here, you GAL" he went
on loweringly, you schtop at,

I? I bought you wine, didn' I?
Who do you think I am, Santa
ClawS?"
The beautiful woman, who
had taken little if any part in
the conversation until now,
caught the edge of the table
with her ringed hands.
Cut it, Benny!" she COM
manded. Your work is crude"
Requel gave Mr.. Barnes the
benefit of a cold shoulder. Two
dancers had come upon the
cleared floor. Spanish. Senor-
ita. Caballero. Had they been
caught up and carried here
from a fiesta in some Seques-
tered village of old Mexico?
Raquel wondered.
The room went dark. Only
the Spanish dancers remained
in a pool of yellow light on the
floor. A hand was sliding,
cautiously along Requel's arm.
Slowly upward Benny's
hand with the thick black fuzz
on 1t. She must get away.
Get out of this place. Benny
didn't mean to stop. With his
thick arms. AWay-but how?

The Tango

Tango. 1t was what the sen.
orita and caballero were trying
to dance. Raquel moved free
Of Benny's hand. That was bet
ter. Now she could watch the
dance. Such a silly tango. The
dancers were against the back
Of her chair.
mo, no." she said to them in
Spanish. "Yo do not make it
good, as it should be. Click
the heel! Click! ;
Raquel did not know, but
she had played directly into
the hands of the dancers. The
Club Divine encouraged CANA
raderie on the part Of its pa
irons. Spontaneity. It was a
policy that paid well. Fa-
nous stage stars declaimed,
when their spirits ran high,
for patrons of the Club Divine.
A great prima donna, who
sang for not less than four
figures a performance, had
even warbled an aria there on
one memorable night.
The caballero motioned to
the orchestra to stop. He
turned to Raquel.
You dance the tango, Sc
norita2" His set smile was
wreathed in doubt. Glimps-
ing her more closely, it changed
to one Of radiant invitation.
A challenge.
"Come!" he said.
She put her hat with the
yellow rose on the table. She
did not stop to ask herself why
she accepted this strangers
challenge. She only knew that
she was dipping and Swirling,
ripping her body, now foercely,
.4oW dangerously, to music that
stole away her senses. She
was gliding along a lake on
a crimson and purple velvet
barge with flowers and incense
and white swimming faces
that turned to drink in her
grace, her beauty. Her black
hair, looSened by the vigor of
the dance, billowed about her
like a sable scarf.
If only there were no Ben
nies in this heaven!-The mu-
sic was far away now, Sobbing
to q close.
"This room-it chokes," she
murmured to the caballero.
We shall finish there, by
the door. I must breathe,

THE BIG HOUSE = By Jack Lait

Morgan looked into the war
den's eyes with a steady, un-
flinching stare.
Sir he said slowly" I
don't know what kind of a
man you think 1 am. But what
ever you think, I'm no squealer.
l have much to be thankful
for-including that know
nothing about this, sir, and
would tell you nothing If I did,
sir"
Come clean, you low-lived
-" began Wallace.
Just a moment, captain"
said the warden sternly. This
man is a prisoner, but he has
certain rights" He turned to
Morgan. II admire you for
your spirit and your code of
honor-if you consider it your
code Of honor. I am making
you no promises about opening
the gates, nor am I promising
you any time off. do consider
it a duty to those men you call
your friends and to yourself, to
save trouble here. That's why
1 called for you. We know
something's in the air. That's
ALL"
Morgan felt the cold perspira-
tion on his forehead. He heard
a commotion in the prison yard.
The warden and Wallace ran to
the window.
MY God!" cried the warden,
they've knocked down Deegan
at gate and taken his gun from
him. Quick-the alarm"
Morgan could see outside, too.
Led by Butch, the men, more
than 80 of them, had rushed the
gate. The big bunch of holiday
flowers, by which Joe had ma
neuVered to get it open, was
scattered about on the stone
flooring.
Butch and his gang, yelling
like ApacheS and waving knives
and pistols, were halfway across
the yard when the whole prison
trembled with the roar of the
siren.
The Washington times., 1930-05-27
Splitting Death

Almost at the same time came
the deadly rat-ta-ta-tat Of the
machine gun. Morgan saw the
concrete of the wall specked by
the bullets which were fired over
the mems heads.
The warden was 'phoning to
the turrets. The words sounded
foreign to his gentle voice:
Shoot to kill" he cried.
"Rat-tat-ta-tat!" crisped the
guns, and lead sprayed not only
the walls now, but the ground.
The church bells still chimed
on. No one had ordered them
stopped. And in the big house
everything runs by orders-and
God help the poor fool who sets
himself against them.

The Gospel Song

There was a tumultous scrap

benches as the hundreds of
prisoners came erect. The
organ doomed out the introduc.
ton. Then came the words
and notes from a thousand
throatS. Butch's giant voice
rising above the rest in the
laundering anthem of a saved
soul
"Glory! Glory! How the
angels sing"
His face immobile, his gaze
dead direct ahead, Butch i'm

"oPEN THE GATES! OPEN

The song was finished. Butch
sank back, a warped smile
on his warped face, and said:
That's a hot number! Open
the gates! Open the gates
and let the prisoners out"
His wink travelled down the
line, from Dopey to the Hawk,
from the Hawk to Joe, from
Joe to Olsen. Morgan, who
was sitting on the left of
Butch, was watching him mar.

TEA-TABLE
CHATTER

Nothing much can be done
about bow-legs after full growth
has been obtained. Knocked
knees are due to weakened ten
donS and muscles and the habit
of walking on the inner side of
the foot. Fatted calves can be
slivered down by jumping the
rope. Massage, if heavy enough,
is effective, but it must be con-
tinued for months and months.
A powder that routS black

Of borax and baking soda. The

A blare of music. Saxo-

Cymbals ringing out clarion

Now they were dancing. A

Benny pretty much spoiled the

AS she stepped from Mr..
Barnes's car under the violet
and blue lights. Raquel thought
the aspect of the Club Divine
forbidding.
A lookout, in the form of a

from the waist as he recog-

Raquel found herself sitting
at the edge of mirrored floor
in a room of crimson and pur-

clouds of hazy blue smoke.

S"And don't die on the way.

Glasses were placed in front

A Daughter of Good Social
Taste
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Will you please let me
know how soon after an en-
gagement should it be an.
nounced, and if it is good form
to do so?
2. Who should attend to an
nouncements? Our only child,
O daughter, does not want to
send out announcement cards,
although there is no secret
about it. She does not want q
shower given. This form, in
her opinion, is petty, and she
won't stand for it. What is
your opinion about the whole
thing?
MOTHER.
/. The time at which the en-
gagement should be announced
depends entirely on the choice
of the couple and the circunn-
stances of the households. In
other words, the engagement is
announced when the couple
wishes to make the announce
ment.
2. Good for your daughter!
She shows excellent taste in her
social reactions, and you should
be proud of her. It is, as your
daughter apparently realizes. in
poor form to send out formal
engraved announcements of an
engagement. This should not
be done. Engraved announce
ments are correct for a wedding,
but not for an engagement.
Showers, too, are not in es-
pecially good form, and 1 am
glad that your daughter will
not stand for" having showers
given her. They usually carry
somewhat the doubtful reputa-
tion of being more or less
CASUALLY more) begging parties,
and it is a joy to hear of a girl
who will not tolerate having her
name associated with this kind
of party.
To announce the engagement
the girl tells those close friends
who live near, and writes to
those who live at some dis
tance.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Shall She Say HALO?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'm sixteen years old and

you think it would be like pick.
ing him up. I'm sure he would
like to become acquainted with
me, but he looks so bashfu1
when we meet that I hardly
think he would speak first.
MAY.
You may be very strongly
tempted to smile and help out
a baShful boy by saying halo"
when you meet him, but some
times the longest way round
is the ShOrtest way home.
What else would it be but pick
ing him up if you get acquaint-
ed as you suggest? Boys, have
homes. usually, and they are
endowed with all sorts of rela-
tives. They have jobs with
business friends and acquaint-
ances, they belong to churches
clubs and associationS-surely
some one connected with some
of these things can introduce
you. At sixteen you've plenty
of time to meet boys in O
proper way, if you speak to
this one it will be that much
easier to speak to the next.

Thanksgiving morning.
Every seat in the prison
chapel filled. The sunlight
streaming through the barred
windows, falls across gray fig
ures of shaved men huddled
on the hard, wooden benches,
worn smooth by them and crea-
lures like them.
The prisoners, unconscious of
the bitter irony of the songs
which liltingly depicts the
freedom and happiness of
heaven and life, sing loudly
glad to release their long
corked voices. The prison
chaplain, sincere and bromide,
raises his soft hand after the
first number and says, sing
song:
And now to send aloft our
gratitude on this glorious day
Of Thanksgiving, let us sing.
