"And the time before that you

Her voice broke and she began
fs cry.
This was almost TOO much for
Al. Marcella was anything but
dainty in her crying. When she
cried one immediately thought of,
oansheeS and air raid alarms.

eyes and the suspicion of a smile
on her lips. But she faced Mike
sternly and said in an ominous
Aoice. $50 you and-Al we're GO

NEW RETREAT
Mike backed to the door and
started to make another retreat.
But he was stopped by Marcella
who said; Wait"
She disappeared into the store

staring apprehensively at each
other.
When she returned, she carried
tho bottle OF Scotch i'm one hand
and three glasses in the other.
Marcella put the glasses on the
table, then took Mike by the hand
and led him 10 a chair.
Filling the glasses, she put them
before the amazed duo and said

CLASSIC IN ABUSE

The sergeant let out a roar that
shook the little building.
And then took place what many
of the towns old-timers still call
one OF the best exhibitions of eX-
temporaneous profanity that ever
blistered the ears of its recipient.
What cuss words the sarge
didn't know, he invented.
When he ran out of inventions
he repeated the old list.
The memory of that shameful
occasion redeemed Mikes face a.
he hied himself to his next cal
box.
AL looked wistfully after his
fast-disappearing drinkmate, then
turned TO his wife.
But she had given up the vocal
ghost, and with a glare that sur
passed even her eloquence, she
turned on her heel and walked
out.
The rest of the day passed
quickly.
NO FOOD AT @
Marcella gave further evidences
of distemper by failing to bring
her husbands supper al 6 o'clock
That was all right by AL. In her
