CHAPTER 32. THE CAT CAME BACK"

O11AI lEH oZ. ] THE CAT CAME BACK"
 Daylight faded in the park be-
 Ow lamps sprung up. Too late, he wondered whether he had adopted the proper tactics. Womer were bullies; they profited by men gsntleness. All the justice was on his side. If he stormed, he'd have her feeding from his hand. It was monstrous that she should be punishing him.
 He ought to turn the tables on 1 her. How could coarser man act in the circumstances? He would buzz off with another wo- man. Dak had practiced that type of revenge and lost her
 A wild surmise struck him. Per- haps he, too, had lost her. Elm bittered, precedents might misguide her. She'd boIted from Oak. Pre- vious to her first marriage, her in-treatment of her suitors had been notorious.
 Let it be granted that she had bolted. Wither could she bolt without baggage? Probably to her parents. He could find out by telephoning. But if the breach were to be healed, the wise policy would be to seek her.
 The door was opened by Golf, imperturable as an undertaken who in days gone by had ejected so many of her admirers.
 Give affected nonchalance.
 Family at home?"
 His father -in-law replied.
 That you, Give? I'm at din- ner. Stack your coat and hat"
 He found MT. Dawn at his last course peeling an apple.
 Presume you've dined My wife is away I'm alone. Brought San ta with you?"
 Give laughed with all the gusto of a dying humorist.
 "Santa's performed the disap- bearing act. I rushed over hoping to find her"
 MT. Dawn continued placidly with his peeling.
 There used to be song. I re- call only one line "The cat came back" Put out a saucer of milk and there you'll find pretty puss some fine morning, purring on your doorstep"
 Give was shocked by this un- natural parent.
 But Guardie, you ought to knock me down. You ought to take her side"
 My dear chap. I'm married to her mother. To take her side would seem too much like siding against myself. How it brings back old days to hear you call me Guardiel Since you've improved our relationship, you've dropped the title. I've often wondered what you thought of me when we shared this house-my wife in Italy, pretending she was educat- ing Santa.
 T thought you were great, Guar die"
 An, but you had other thoughts. You're in the same box now. One had to appear meek. If he intends to stay married. That passage dealing with charity describes the ideal husband. Is kind, vaunteth not, but is not puffed up; believ- eth all things; hopeth all things; endured all things"
 Seated in deep chair, toasting their toes before a blazing fire in the library, MT. Dawn grew ex- pansive.
 "As battered veteran to young recruit, who's conducting the bomb ing raid?"
 santa. She's running me-for my own good, so she tells me-"
 MT. Dawn puffed at his cigar 
 The argument sounds familiar. I shall re-live my youth in listen ing to you. Some woman was bound to ruin you-so why not your wife?"
 As Give listened, his story with the latest threat of philanthrophy his father-in-law laughed uproar- iously.
 Whats so amusing, Guardie?"

 From a deep arm -chair, its back toward them, thin column of smoke was rising. A blond head thrust itself up, which turned slowly, revealing a fine set of teeth, a clipped mustache and insolently amused blue eyes.

MRS. DAWES LEAVES
LONDON FOR HOME
Gossip Names Ex-Gov. Lowden of
Illinois as New American
Ambassador.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. February 2.-The Ameri-
can embassy in Grosvenor Gardens Will
be temporarily without a tenant after
today when Mrs. Charles G. Dawes,
wife of the Ambassador, who recently
resigned, sails to join her husband in
Washington. Henry Dawes, her nephew,
will go with her.
There is still much speculation re-
garding the generals successor. The
latest candidate nominated by gossip
is former Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Il
linois. Americans in London who know
Mr.. Lowden say he is eminently fitted
for the job.
Although the present troubles in the
Far East find the American embassy
without an Ambassador the charge
dafaires is Ray Atherton, an expert
enced career man who has served his
country in both China and Japan. He
is carrying on the negotiations in which
his Government is concerned.

Burke Reported
To Be Improving

James Burke. rs, who was found
unconscious Thursday night from
a cash in the head, is said to be
greatly improved today and to have
regained consciousness this morn
ing. Hospital attaches were en-
couraged as to his condition.
He cannot remember, however,
what caused the wound in his
head. His condition does not per-
nit close questioning at this time
as he is not sufficiently recovered
to be entirely rational, according
to members of the family.
Burke was discovered in his
sleeping quarters at the rear of
622 Main street when neighbors
heard him calling for aid. He was
found in a pool of blood on the
floor beside his bed and was un-
able to rise. A physician was sum-
moned and the injured man was
taken to a local hospital.
Since none of his possessions
were missing robbery was not ad-
vanced as a motive for an attack.
Police held to the theory that he
struck his head when he fell from
the bed.

SALES ADDRESS
IS ENJOYED AT
KIWANES CLUB

Avoid Competition, Don't Meet
made by Carl Palmen of the Pal
men Manufacturing company OF
Los Angeles at Kiwanis club lunch
con at the Barbara Worth hotel at
noon yesterday.
He advanced the opinion that
the greatest fault of merchants to-
day was that they operate with
closed minds and do not form the
right idea of merchandising. In
explaining this statement he said
merchant should formulate an
idea of his own and carry it
through to a successful conclusion.
Most merchants take inventory
of stock every year." said Palmen,
but do not take stock of them
selves
Service and the name of the
merchant must be sold to custo-
mers, confidence being the greatest
factor with the buying public, in
the opinion of Palmen.
I'm times of business depression
said the speaker, genuine sales
men are necessary to sell goods to
merchants. 1t is necessary they
stock merchants with goods which
can be moved. In times of good
business any salesman can sell the
merchant and that same merchant
should take cognizance of the fact
and buy only goods which he knows
will move
Roy Womack was chairman Of
the day and many local merchants
were present as guests.

Mayor Appeals
For Support OF
Salvation Army

As mayor of the City of Ell
Centre, 1 earnestly call the at
tention of the citizens of this
community to the presest cam
paign for funds now being con-
Quoted by the Salvation Army.
No organization in Ell Cen
tro, or in Imperial Valley for
that matter, has aided the
poor and needy on a greater
scope than the Salvation Army.
1 am certain all of us are
thoroughly familiar with the
work which the Salvation
Army is doing. The unusually
large number of men, women
and children, applying to the
Army for help during the past
few months, has been a severe
drain upon the Army's re-
sources.
This assistance has been
willingly and cheerfully Civ
en-. How much it has saved
the city is impossible to state.
We do know that had it not
been for the activities of the
Salvation Army, there would
have been much more crime
and distress in Ell Centric dur
ing this present season.
The work the Salvation
Army is doing has been like
insurance. 1t has safeguarded
the city from undesirable con-
ditionS.
Surely the citizens of Ell Cen
tro should be willing to help
pay for this insurance. That
is what the Salvation Army
campaign amounts to.
1 ask all our citizens to do
their best in contributing to
this campaign at once. Every
cent of the money collected
will be spent right here.
There is no overhead to ths
campaign-no needless ex-
pense. Contributions, large or
small, will be welcomed and
l feel certain this appeal to
the people of our city will not
be disregarded. Send some
thing to the Salvation Army
as soon as you finish reading
this appeal.
