whose mind during the drive a
suspicion had been gradually

Had Tony slipped back here?
Was he with the pretty little

something giggled Rhoda Vane.
Jack Drilling had been unable
to drive up to the front door
because only a narrow path led
to the ranch house, and there
were many trees around.
He parked his car at some
distance, and Rhoda led him to
the side of the house where the
dining-room was.
We'll find plenty of drinks
in here"
She raised a window gently
as she spoke. Jack Drilling
helped her over the sill, and
followed her.
He struck a match.

Well, it wasn't likely that Miss
Day would cross their path
again. He had been very much
attracted by her in a trifling
sort of way. He forgave her her
announcement, darned awkward
though it had been. because he
really had been guilty and he
was sorry he had been the
means of losing her job.
Night Riding
Rhoda was dancing voluptu-
ously with him. At the same
time-Jack was intuitive)-
Rhoda was distraite.
The bride was in the dining
room, and they were revolving
past the front door. Suddenly
he had a bright idea.

you say we have a little spin in
the moonlight, Rhoda?"
"Okay with me-" They slipped
out and off, hitting the broad
asphalt highway.

ashamed of the happening.
He colored at her name, now,
under his coat of tan.
He had had quite a difficulty
in breaking away from Rhoda,
Who-judging by her conduct
was either very brazen, or very
highly strung.
She had painted in his arms,
had pushed closer and closer to
him.
He had unwound her clinging
arms by force. The whole Incl
dent was rather disturbing.
Why had Rhoda Vane come
here at all. at the time he least
wanted her intrusion?
1t wasn't as though Mrs. Jud-
son seemed to really like her.
He had a shrewd idea that
Rhoda had wished herself on
her hostess.
Was it because he himself was
here? He felt a vain cad
but it did seem rather obvious
Rhoda had thrown herself at
him ever since she had arrived.
Not even Nollie knew to what
extent, either.
Forget her now. Here was his
little love beside him. He said,
very gently: "Nollie, I'm crazy
about you."

There were others dancing,

Galbraith.
Rhoda missed Tony.
Where had he gone? Had
she frightened him off? That
was sheer nonsense, when to-
night she was looking so beau
tiful.
And he had kissed her, too
though indeed the kiss had been
little more than a peck in char
acter.
Still, it gave her sort of
foothold with him. Meantime
she would be charming to Jack
Drilling.
The latter didn't look too
happy for bridegroom.
He had flirted with Rhoda,

so affected his own life that a
young newspaper woman has
this tale to tell.
The other day she went to
Soils office to question him
about a certain story and found
him very reluctant to relate the
details of an affair which he
contended was rather delicate
and probably shouldn't be made
public.
Finally. in desperation, she
asked him a point-blank ques-
tion.
Sol looked up from his chair
to the wall behind him, where
hung a picture of George
Washington.
After gazing at the portrait

Scotch Blood Tells

Another of those Scotch
stories is told by Pat Riley con-
cerning the Scotchman who
volunteered to give an English
man the necessary pint of blood
for a TRANSMISSION.
After receiving the first pint,
the Englishman wrote his friend
a letter of thanks and inclosed
a check for $50.
1t became necessary for the
Scotchman to give a second
pint. This time the English
man sent him a check for $25,
and a letter of thanks.
After the third pint of Scotch
blood, says Pat, the EngliShman
merely sent the Scotchman the
letter.
That, says Pat, shows the ef-
feet of Scotch blood.

BY JOHN SNURE. JR..

Cecil Wilkinson swears that
it is true!
A young Washingtonian,
driving to Pittsburgh to be best
man in a wedding, stopped at
Cumberland for gasoline and
became involved in a gas-Sta-
tion holdup.
His eye was shot out in the
fracaS.
When he recovered, his miss
ing orb was replaced by a glass
eye. All went we'll for a time
until he returned to his old
habit of imbibing and noticed
that in the morning, after a
late session with alcoholic bev-
erages, one eye was bloodshot
and the other clear.
So, alleges Cecil, he had a
second glass eye made to ap-
pear as if it were bloodshot, for
the morning after"
Cecil also claims he had
one made with a small Ameri-
can flag in the place of a
pupil for patriotic occasions.)
