ImpOStOr
But fling that thought away.
Forget her drab identity. To-
night she was Gloria.
HE called her that. An-glo-
riouS he thought she was. Not
a silly little impoStor.
He'd thrust her in that role.
She was playing up to him. Try
ing to be the marvellous person
that he imagined she was.
Why not? She FELT the part.
She was a dual personality, and
this was her real self.
Beauty! Glamor! Romance!
What else was worth living
for?
She'd been asleep for 20
years-those years that the To-
Gust had eaten"-
Or-apter till!-he'd been the
Sleeping Beauty awaiting the
kiss of Prince Charming!
Tonight-figuratively-it had
come, that kiss. If she thrilled
to it in her imagination, what
would be the reality?
"I'm the loneieSt fellow in
the world-with heaps of
friends" Tony was repeating,
isn't that an anomaly?"

she walked in beauty.
His eyes told her so. And

his that would beguile a very

all mixed up with the splash
Of a miniature waterfall that
was part of the scenery close
to their table, and the Groom

Go on. Oh! talk, Tony
OBrien. Listen to those tones
of his, this night of nights,
and let the memory of that
voice sink into the very soul
of her.
A Dilemma
He was telling her about
himself. His life. He hadn't
long started in business on his
own. He was a lawyer.
Oh yes, he knew a host Of
people in this town. The sum-

But no! Tony O'Brien had
no calculating look. His eyes
expressed a warm admiration.
She couldn't bear that look to
fade. He called her Gloria.
Play the part. Act like a young
princess.
She said, in a stifled voice:
mo Mr.. O'Brien, I'm not going
to Europe"
He grabbed her hand, so
pleased was he. He beamed at
her.
"And you'll be right in New

A new love triangle threatens
the domestic bliss of two Wash.
ington households.
The parties are Dick Merry
mans Labrador retriever and
Bernie Mayo's two cats.
Since Dick began taking
"Ritzie" to the Mayo home, the
pup has been trying to win the
admiration of Bernie's big cat,
which pays no attention to the
dog. The little cat seeks the
friendship of "Ritzie," who can't
see her.
The other eve "Ritzie" again
tried to gain the attention Of
the big cat. He rolled, barked
and went through his PAGES.
Finally he searched all over
the Mayo house and found a
toy mouse, which he carefully
deposited at the feet of the
Scornful feline. Then he re-
tired to corner when she
yawned with boredom.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SNOW

"Unkie Wig! Unkie Wig!' called
Bunty. the little orphan rabbit. one
morning as Mr.. Longears was get
ting ready to hop out Of his hol-
low stump bungalow. Wait a min
ute, Unkie Wigl" said Bunty, using
all the baby talk she was allowed
What is it?" asked Uncle Wig
gily. "I am in a hurry to go adj
venturing today so if you want me
to play with you, why, 1 can't"
mo, I don't expect you to play
with me, but I'd like you to- said
Baby Bunty. anyhow I can't play
for I have to go to school"
Then why did you call me?"
asked the rabbit gentleman.
"I just want you to bring me
something when you come back
from adventuring," answered Baby
Bunty.
Bring you what?" inquired Mr..
Longears.
"A little snow fairy" begged the
orphan rabbit. That's what
want. Can't you bring me a snow
fairy?"
"a snow fairy!" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. why, 1 never heard OF
such a thing. I wouldn't know a
snow fairy if I saw one. I don't
believe there are any snow fairies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The
World war is over, but the man N
charge of official notices at the
navy department hasn't learned
about it yet. He's still fighting
spies with the following sign, which
is yellowing in its frame at the
navy building:
Beware:
Don't talk about what you have
done or what you are going 10 do.
The enemy has ears everywhere.
Don't discuss naval affairs or
movements of ships or their car

Don't trust anyone you do not
know. Enemy spies at home and
abroad will try to draw you into
arguments and entrap you into
telling them about the movements
of ships, their cargoes, the courses
steered and the steps taken to de-
fend our ships.

nation from you or from anyone

HELPING THE POLICE

THE POLICE have made good The
same police whom so many citizens
usually refer to as dumb, blundering,
crooked, brutal and few more adiec-
tives
We refer to the solution of the Skeele
kidnapping case in Los Angeles, one of
the finest bits of detective work that has
occurred in a long time
Working efficiently and intelligently
the Los Angeles police, starting with a
few meager clues, ferreted out the guilty
parties and have obtained a confession
of guilt from them.
All too frequently the criticism of the
public (and the newspapers) directed
toward the police, is unwarranted. Too
often we overlook the fact that the in
terference of the private citizen, as rep
resented by the influential politician, or
leading citizen" hamstrings the efforts
of the police in their constant war
against crime
Generally speaking, the rank and file
and the higher officials of police depart
ments are honest and skilled in their
work, capable of coping with the crimi-
nal element if they are given the sup
port of the citizens. Instead of coopera-
tlon the police usually get abuse from
the citizens and interference from the
politicians.
We do not mean to infer that all po-
lice are at all times lily white No or
ganization is. But the police wish to be
efficient and effective and they would
be if they were let alone
There is, however, a drawback to the
fullest efficiency, which exists within
the ranks of the law enforcing bodies,
and it is what might be termed inter-
departmental jealousy. City police,
county officials and state and federal
officials, instead of cooperating, often
work at loggerheads because each insti-
tuition wishes to hog whatever glory
there may be derived from capturing a
criminal or solving crime
If the police, using the term general
ly, would forget this bit of pettiness, and
the politicians would leave them alone,
and if the public would back up the po-
lice, the battle against crime would be
strengthened enormously.

Bunty as she tied on her ear rib
bon to wear to school. Bunty wore

as some OF you little girls wear a

"Oh, yesl That's so. l had for

Uncle Wiggily with Jolly laugh.

do look like fairies as they dance
down from the skies"
"Of course Bunty agreed. And
I'm sure you can find me a little
snow fairy, Unkie Wig. Please look
for one as you go adyenturing."
Il shall!" promised the rabbit
gentleman. So while Bunty and the
other rabbit children started fol
school, Uncle Wiggily began hop
ping over the fields and through
the woods, up hill and down hill
TO see what he might see. He hao

Gle Wiggily.
mo, it isn't the echo" laughed
the other voice.
Who are you?" the rabbit gen.
tleman wanted to know.

other voice and then Uncle Wig
gily saw something darting here
and there through the falling
flakes.
You must be snow fairy!' said
Uncle Wiggily. "Oh, how wonder

catch you and take you to Baby
Bunty.'
You won't harm me, will you?"
be on all sides of Uncle Wiggily at
once, SO quickly did the little crea-
ture dart TO and fro.
"Of course I will not harm you, -
said the rabbit gentleman. Keep
still SO I can see you and let me
take you to Baby Bunty. She wants
a snow fairy"
"All right! Here I comet" laugh
ed the merry voice and with that a
cute little white bird perched upon
Uncle Wiggily's shoulder. 1t was a
tiny bird white as the snow flakes
and not much larger than some o1
them. The little bird sang in the
i rabbits ear.
You certainly are a cute little
snow fairy at least you look like
one" said Uncle Wiggily. How
| happy Baby Bunty will be-"
! Mr.. Longears started to hop to
, his bungalow with the white bird
snow fairy perched on his shoulder
/ The snow flakes fell faster and fas-
| ter SO that Uncle Wiggily could
not see where hewas going. 1t was
like being in a thick fog. At last
| Uncle Wiggily was lost in the
storm. He could not tell where his
bungalow was as he floundered in
the drifts.
"Oh, what shall 1 do?" said poor
Uncle Wiggily. How shall I ever
/ get home? 1 am lost in the storm.
Don't be afraidl' sang the lit
tie bird. Il can see my way through

DECORATING HOBSON

DICHMOND PEARSON HOBSON is
N voted the Congressional Medal of
Honor - highest award in the nation.
by special act of congress. which is
now before the President for his sigma
ture
And well might the reader ask who
is Richmond Pearson Hobson. His name.
now cause for questioning, was on the
lips of the entire world So years ago.
This nation and many others thrilled
as they read of Hobson's daring exploit
on the morning of June 3, 1898. when he
and a volunteer crew sank the collier
Merrimac in the harbor of Santiago
Cuba, in an attempt to bottle up" the
Spanish fleet under Admiral Cevera.
Hobson and his men worked under
the heavy fire of Spanish guns and
eventually were captured. Upon his re-
lease by the Spaniards he was returned
to the United States a hero, voted the
thanks of congress and given memorial
medal
His feat, equal in courage and skill to
any performed during the World war,
fully entitled him to the highest decora-
tion the country could give him, and it
will come as a surprise to many of the
generation which was thrilled by his act,
to learn that the congressional medal is
to be awarded only after the passage of
all these years.
1t is like turning back the pages of
time to the period when "Hot Time in
the Old Town was sung by everyone,
when the Rough Riders were in their
glory and the "Boys in Blue" were the
heroes of a nation. Unhappily many of
the then heroes were long neglected even
worse than was Hobson, by a govern
ment inclined to be forgetful unless
prodded
In recent years the Spanish war vet
eran has come into his own and perhaps
there will be few more medals distri-
buted to make up for Uncle Sans bad
memory.
