SHORTER AND SHORTER

Maybe they got the idea from seeing
some of our Key West boys wearing their
shirts on the outside of their pants, this idea
of shortening the tails and limiting shirt
length tothirteen inches SOME men around
here haven't felt the change though it went
INTO effect the middle of December. The
scuffless trouser should have prepared us
for this and we may expect there will be
more curtailment to come. The fellow who
heedlessly stretched his length in bed will
find his stretch limited by the new regula-
ton on sheets. Most of us won't do too much
worrying about the restricted length of cas-
kets, We'll take it when it comes but you
can't blame US for being bit upset about
the shirt tail edict when we are faced with
appearing in society with our shirts hang
ing in and out and up and dowHs We will
have to confine our movements to Slow mo-
ton, raising our arms less, twisting rarely
and Jerking never Well, with a warm
summer ahead the short sheet and the short
shirt will give US more air, come what may
with next winters winds.

What are we going to dc

Her fiance nodded.
MIR. Baird, the proprietor, came
forward to meet them. Baird
wore a dark wooden shirt, open
at the throat, and a pair of moe
casins. When he walked, his feet
seemed to whisper.
He shook hands with them. He
said, did you bring your bed

Powell stared. Certainly noti"

about Mr.. Rockwell, my assistant
and myself?" he asked. We'll
want separate rooms, of course. "
Baird shook his head. "Tn this
country" he said, everyone
brings his own bedrou and hunks
on the floor" =
Powell choked. He looked at
Penny. Then he yanked at his tie.
Il didn't know what we were
getting into"
I'll be fun to rough it," Penny
glanced about her approvingly.
Don't you see, Powell, it viii be

Joined her ruefully.
How long are you planning to

He was getting over his huff
and, Like Penny, catching some
of the adventure of this expert
ence. He squeezed her arm.
Well manage somehow" Then,
to Baird: do the best you can
for us: I won't spare any ex-
pense."
Behind them something thump-
ed loudly on the floor. It was
Cleve with their luggage, camera
and equipment, and Penny's first
aid kit and box of goodies for
Bill. Cleve had hired two half
breeds to fetch it all down here.
He was grinning and holding
fluffy ball In his arms.
"See what / picked up" he
said. "a malamute pup"
Penny shouted delightedly. "a

Powell said, 'tHe looks like a

Penny"
They were all in wonderful
good humor. Penny took the
puppy from Cleve and Rugged il
TO her, shining-eyed. Presently
Mr.. Baird showed her to her
room. 1t was clean and bright
with nice view of the river. She
unpacked and there was a photo
graph of Bill. She caught it I'D
affectionately.
BILL" she said. 'Tt won't be
long now. Wen find lie Frene's
shack and you'll get well quick

The Bill in the picture smiled
back understandingly. Was there
ever a brother like him, Penny
wondered
She spent the rest of the morn

with the baby malemute. He'd be
their mascot, she decided. Shed

full or Cleve to give him to her.
She vas glad he was along. Bill
would be pleased, too.

Powells face she knew something

down in a chair.
"Of all the rotten luckl" he
muttered.
Whats happened?"

Powell spread out his arms In
gesture of evaporation
Our mounted policeman, Con-
stable Rennick, is away on patrol
He isn't expected back for fort

"Oh, dear!" said Penny. Then
she frightened. But while we're
waiting for him. we can 60 and

Powell shook his head. 'Tmpos-

DENNY stepped through tht
hatch of the big bi-motorec
plane for her first closeup of {
northern frontier trading post
They'd arrived safely at Hudson's
Hope.
Immaculate in a gray business
suit, Powell preceded her. Cleve
in an old SLOUGH hat and slacks
trailed along behind.
''Tll look after the luggage" he
called. Meet you at the hotel in
a few minutes"
Penny wasn't listening. The
marvellous view of river, noun

ton. Below them, in its cut-deep
valley. was the mighty Peace
Across on the far side, sweeping
up the slope and off to the
horizon, she could see the massed

Stark wilderness everywhere
around her. It was breathtaking,
mysterious and - and a little
frightening, too. Somewhere in
this rugged land fate had dumped
Bill.
She said to Powell, well, what
do you think of it?"
He paused to take her arm. ''It
looks a bit bleak" he said. I'm
afraid the accommodations won't
be any too good"
Penny laughed. Powell was re-
ferring to the town and the hotel.
The impact of the country itself
had escaped him. He'd completely
overlooked the gorgeous setting
for this poky little settlement of
log Shacks and cluttered houses.
He hadn't even seen the three
Indian tepees down there on the
first bench of the river.
II think it's wonderful" Penny
said, breathing deeply. "Air tangy
with pine. Everything new and
clean and primitive"
THE hotel was called Baird's
l. Stopping Place. Men in top
boots clanked through the door.
On the rough board walk outside
were small groups of trappers and
prospectors with hoary heads and
time-grooved faces, breeds
and Indians.
Everyone stared at Penny. She
went In with Powell to register,

THE FRIGID SHOULDER

A Miami newspaper, in drooling
tear-spilling editorial, demands, in CULVER
ing tones, What right has Bernie Papy,
Monroe county's representative, to try to
be DICTATOR of Dade (the capitals
are the property, free and clear of all en-
cumbrances, of the Miami paper, to block
the will of its better than 300,0 citizens? .
One would think, judging by the ampli-
tude of the editorial, that the answer to that
question is hard to find. But the answer is
as readily apparent as is the answer to the
question, How many do two and two
make2
Papys dictator role is holding up a
bill in committee that would give Stanley
Milledge, who takes office as state attorney
early in July, $4,000 to hire an investigator
to work in connection with his office in
Dade. AS the money comes out of the peck
cts of the people of Dade county themselves,
and not from the state at large, the ques-
ton suggests the answer: Papy has no right
to tell Dade countians what they should or
should not spend.
However, Papy has every reason to re-
sent anything that particular paper says
about him, for its political writer has gone
out of his way, time and again, to5take a
crack at Papy, The writer hasreveng done
that when Papy has not had anything what
ever to do with the matter under discussion
But that is beside the point. Dade has
man in the senate and three representa-
tives in the house, and it is they that the
paper should call upon to see that the par
ticular bill in question becomes law Don't
illuminate against Papy for his fight in lost
cause; train the artillery on the four Dade
countians in the legislature If they are I'M
able to thwart the action of one man from
q small county like Monroe, then the people
of Dade should send other men, men who
can fight better, to the legislature.
1t is easy enough to see behind the
scenes of the play Rapy is staging He is
resentful because Milledge refuses to
name, as his assistant in Monroe county, the
man whom Papy favors. That phase of the
question has before been discussed by The
Citizen, which took the stand, and still adj
heres to it,, that Milledge should be given
a free hand to choose whom he wants as his
assistant in Monroe, as we'll as in Dade. If
Milledge then fails, he will be unable to
shift the blame of his failure on any other
man.
Some politicians die hard 1t cuts like
buzzsaw against the grain of human ma
ture to demand of man who wins that he
name to office men who fought him unre-
lentingly when he ran for office. He is the
best politician who takes his defeat gra-
ciously. Such a man is admired; the diehard
is coldshoudered.
