SOB STUFF By DEMOSTHENES McGINNIS A Delicate Shade of Blue CHAPTER II Wherein Robert Purdon Gets Up Mentally apologizing for even thinking slang Robert opined that he had better shake a leg. He shook his right one and his knee cracked. This interested him and he tried it again, but failed and felt vaguely annoyed. He onco knew a boy in school who could crack his toes by jumping up and down in his bare feet. That boy had been the envy of all his companions. He wondered what had become of him. He was probably a millionaire somewhere. Some people have all the luck. Here was he, Robert Purdon, n man of estimable character and blameless life, and ho couldn't even crack his knee a second time when he wanted to. It was blamed tough, that's what it was. He was so sorry for himself that he had his legs over the side of the bed and was sitting up before he realized the fact. He had half a mind to lie down again, but, instead, stared gloomily at his pajamas. They were a delicate shade of blue. Sighing heavily he walked to the bathroom. "A nice cold plunge will make me feel nil right again," he said. Now the bathtub was not large.

It was of cast iron, overlaid with porcelain and good to look upon. But Robert, when ho looked at it. felt umnty. Turning on tho cold 'water spigot he thrust the tip of his ltt.l!"

He watched the running water for two or three minutes, then, seoing the steam rise, grew ashamed, and pulled the stopper, allowing the aqua not too pura to run out. "I'll shave first," ho decided, more cheerfully. to a Correspondent Anxious Your juer7 as to how it happened that Mrs. Purdon was up getting breakfast before the alarm clock rang must remain unan swered. Our private opinion is that this is a bet Mr. McGinnis over looked.
