EORGIE BLAKE stood before
his dresser mirror adjusting a
lemon colored tle adorned with
red spots that matched his red
hair.
Georgle was
brought on by
the Young People’s
Miss Mabel Porter,
Georgie was preparing early to es-
cort Mabel to the lawn party that
afternoon, when a penetrating call
from below stairs punctured his reverie,
“Georgie!”
“Yeh, Ma?" He patted his tie, not
yet fully consclous of his surroundings.
“Your Aunt Cora just phoned and
I told her you'd take care of the twins
this afternoon. You'd better go right
over and get them.”
The beatific expression on Georgie's
face disappeared instantly and was re
placed by one of intense horror,
He dashed out to the stair head.
‘But, hey, Ma, what about the lawn
party?” he called as “Gee
whiz I can't miss that! Good night!”
“You can take the twins with youn,”
his mother answered from the kitchen.
“What!”
Georgie raced down the stairs,
“Hey, Ma, 1 can’t

longer than was necessary,
Georgie dialed a
stood knee deep In
ruined day.
“Hello?” The musical
longed to Miss Mabel Porter,
“Hello, Mabel,” Georgle sald, bright-
ening with a sudden Idea. “I just
called you up to ask If you wouldn't
like to go on a plenle this afternoon”
“Plenic?" Mabel sounded puzzled.
“What for?”
“Well, I don't think this old lawn
party will amount to much” Georgie
said. “Besides,” he went on casually,
“I have to take care of the twins and
I was thiokin'—"
“Not those terrible twins, Georgie?”
“Uh-huh,” Georgie moaned. He could
feel the air on the wire grow chilly.
“Well, really, Georgie,” Mabel said
at last, “I ought to to the lawn
party after planning and everything.
Ferdy Hoyt wants me to go with him,
so I guess I'd better"
“All right,” Georgie sald,
hope he gets ptomaine poison!”
Georgie put down the telephone.
Ferdy Hoyt was the last bitter drop
in Georgie's brimming chalice.
Ferdy was the son of Elston's lead
ing banker and citizen, and since his
return from school for the summer
months had been cutting in on Georgle's
time with Mabel.
Is it any wonder that Georgie was
blind to the sunshine and the birds as
he set out to collect his charges?
Bertie and Bertha behaved properly
until three o'clock in the afternoon and
then they escaped into thin alr,
Georgle set out in search of them
with a dire warning from his mother
ringing in his ears to the effect that
if the twins caused any damage he'd
have to pay for it out of kis own
pocket,
Twenty minutes later he

“Won't!” the twins chimed. Tulips
curved In the alr like colored comets,
Georgle moaned aloud,
“Old Ripper'll get you,” he warned.
“Ain't no dog! Ain't np dog!” the
twins chanted singsong.
And to every appearance they were
right,
Georgle looked carefully around and
put a cautious leg over the fence. In
another moment he swooped down on
the twins,
Immediately there began a dizzy
race and a tremendous uproar,
Georgle shouted, the twins shrieked,
and suddenly Into the midst of the tur-
moll came the thunderous roars of
Ripper.
There was a scramble for the fence
in which Georgie was hopelessly out
distanced by the twins, and as they
stood peering through the palings
shouting encouragement Ripper closed
his jaws on the stern of Georgle's flan
nels. There was a ripping sound as he
climbed over and a disappointed bull
dog dropped back into the yard.
It Is a matter of historical detall to
report that there was an expanse of
Georgle's new silk underwear showing
and it was a brilliant orange.

The western trall herd still exists,

The flair for beautiful prints also ex-

entrancing. A timely hint for your

BOYHOOD'S IDEAL
Father had decided the time had
come when he should talk to Junior,
his nine-year-old son, about his life's
work. When Junior was asked
what he wanted to be when he graw
up, he promptly replied he wished
to be an Indian,
“An Indian!” gasped the father,
“Great Scott! Why do you want
to be an Indian?’
“Because,” the boy answered,
“when you're an Indian you don't
have to wash your face and hands
and nobody can tell if your neck's
