THE STORY so FAR: Joan Leland,
secretary, is discharged by her en-
ployer, Arthur milford, importer, who
refuses any explanation for the act. She
takes a secretaral position with Karl
Miller, handsome proprietor of night
club. She is fascinated by him and when
he gets her sister Sybil, new job and
takes her into his arms, her Joy knows
no end. She meets his club manager,
Paul Sherman, who warns her about
working for Karl, but refuses to give his
reasons. Then Karl introduces her to
his partner, Eric Strom, and she refuses
his secret invitation to dinner. During
a ride with Karl they board freighter-
ship and when Karl asks her if he can
show her the world she melts into his
arms with an Affirmative answer. Sybil
notices that he never mentions marriage
to Joan, but Joan defends him. Eric
Strom seizes an opportunity to try to
make love to her, when Paul Sherman
walks in and knocks him out with one
blow. Karl sends Joan with package
to the freighter captain. Paul follows.
He takes her to a hotel grill.

Essay on Cow Leaves
Little to the Imagination

The COW is mammal. It has
six sides, right, left, an upper and
below. At the end it has a tail
on which hangs a brush. With this
it sends the flies away.
The head is for the purpose of
growing horns and so that the
mouth can be somewhere.
Under the COW hangs the milk.
The COW has a fine sense of
smell, one can smell it far away.
This is the reason for the fresh
air in the country.
The COW does not eat much, but
what it eats it eats twice so that
it gets enough. When it is hungry
it moos, and when it says nothing
it is because all its inside is full
