"You shouldn't let your arms 'compass' me," she continued. "I know a preacher that is a good 'Joiner,' " he suggested. . "Promise not to 'chisel' him out of his fee," she requested. "That wouldn't 'auger' well, for us?" he answered as they rushed off for the license. ..BUMANE TOUCH Bill® •MARXMAH* Fast starting requires a good dependable battery.

Caaae and Effect A solicitous politician was walMng to a table in a restaurant one afternoon when he passed a table at which a judge he knew was eating. They talked for a moment or two, then" the politician offered the judge some advice. • "I s^e you're drinking hot tea," he said. "That isn't a very good drink for this hot weather. It heats the blood too much. Now, what you want is a cqol refreshing beverage. One that will make you forget the warm weather. Have you ever tried a gin and bitters?" "Why, no, 1 haven't," replied the judge, "but I have tried many men who. have." HONEST EFFORT An old lady who could not see eye to eye with the taxi-driver on the question of fare, finally remarked: "Don't you try to tell me anything, my good man. I haven't been riding in taxis for five years for nothing." "No," replied the driver, "buf I bet you had a good try!" EVERT LITTLE BIT HELPS The courtroom was crowded as the judge finished his lecture to the defendant in a divorce action. "So I've decided to give your jvife $40 pir month," were his last words. "That's fine, judge," the husband said as his face lit up with a big smile. "I'll try to slip her a couple of bucks now and then, myself." Naturally Mrs. Brown's eye caught a small item in the paper that gave her a great deal of satisfaction. "Listen to this," she said gloatingly to her husband. "It says right here in the paper that whiskey kills more people than bullets." "Of course," snapped her husband impatiently, "who the devil ever heard of bullets drinking whiskey." She Knew Him •"Yes," she admitted, "you love me very much now. That's only natural, I suppose. But will your love for me remain as ardent after we are married?" "Don't worry your pretty little head about that," he answered softly. "You know darned well it wiU. Haven't you, yourself, often commented upon my fondness for married women?"

Generva laughed ffterrily. "That's what city life does to you." she chided. "See? You can't take it any more/' "For a fact I can't," h e frinned. "Phew! What a climbl- Skis are no good up here. If we're going to the top we'll have lib hobnail it up." "We can quit and go down," she said. Her voice held the barest hint Of a taunt. She hated herself for it. "Quit nothing! Just because I've been away for two years you needn't think you can stump me." Tracy's eyes flicked over the girl's slim, wiry figure. "Boy, you always could take it," he admired. "Ever since we were kids I've had to hump to keep up with you." The reference to their childhood escapades brought on a flood of regrets. Two years ago he had left her with a brotherly olap en the back and a firm handclasp. She had almost hated him. He had gone down to the city to become an architect. Then he'd written about Jessica. She was a singer In a night club. He had fallen madly in love with her. His letters had been fall of their romance. Generva had wanted to tell him to stop writing his everlasting prattle about a silly night club singer, Didn't he know that ev&y word was a knife thrust in her heart? "You know," he said suddenly, "you're growing more lovely every year. Gen. Some day soon a man's coming along and--" She laughed out loud and scrambled to her feet. "Come on, City Man. we've got to get going if \'.e want to make the top and get beck before dark."

Benjamin Harrison was sworn into the nation's top office in 1889, 48 years after his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, had served his country in the same capacity.

'Tracy grinned and yanked himself up file first steep ascent. Before he had gone 10 feet he realized that it was a foolhardy business. Without ice picks and ropes climbing was hazardous. He Started ahead again and then stopped. Above him, maybe 30 feet a tray, he could make out the blurred form of Generva. The blurred outline stopped. He listened for her reply, but if she caUed the wind drowned it. For an instant her hobnailed boots were clawing against the ice. Then she came coasting down the incline; reaching frantically for bushes that slid through her hands. Tracy made a lunge. His hand caught at her ski jacket as she whipped past, held, felt it slip through his fingers. A strangled cry escaped his lips. Horror-stricken, he watched her reach the ledge and flip over its edge, disappear. In a moment he was back on the flat ground looking over the edge, not daring to hope. Fifty feet below he made out a green patch, like a wisp of cloth caught in the gnarled branches of a hardwood shrub. r' SEEMED like hours before he found footing against a rock ,10 feet from where Generva clung to the hardwood shrub. Directly beneath her was a 200-foot chasm. Tracy slipped the handle of one pole through the wheel of the other, tightened the strap on his wrist and cast out across the Ice. At his second attempt Generva grasped the slim bamboo. • "Take it easy," he called. "You'll have to swing down like a pendulum, then slowly upward." She nodded and released her grip. The impact of her 112 pounds almost caused him to lose his grip. But he held on. The moment she was below him he began pulling upward, hand over hand. In a moment their hands touched and she was safe on the rock. Tracy's hand reached for hers. There was a queer light in his eyes. "It just came to me," he said, "what this old world would be like without you, Gen. I mean--" he gulped--"I never realized it before. I--Gen, I don't know how to say it." Her eyes were misty. "Darling, you don't have to. I've been waiting for you to look like that for 10 years."
