THE STRATFORD MIRROR Mirror Short Story Bet On [The APO By MARION TAYLOR DON'T know by what stroke of fortune three boys who grew up together in the same little town of Prairie Junction, Iowa, should land in the same flying outfit in the Pacif- ic, but here we are. And one of us' has become an ace with more knocked-out enemy planes to his credit than any other Yank in this theater. That's Reger Barnes. But Tom Norris still<~has the hand- somest face and the most devil-' ish eyes and the most broken hearts along his trail of all men on our. island. That is, he did until Roger's. ffame and daring made headlines in most of the American newspapers. © - Roge is a big fellow, awkward. and shy as a newborn colt. That's why he never even had a girl back in the old home town, I guess. Al-i jthough I know plenty who would have been glad enough to step out, with him, if he'd given them a 'chance. Especially Polly Meacham. And Roger was plenty fond of Polly,' too. But the only time he ever. scraped up enough nerve to ask her ffor a date, she already had one with Tom Norris. And:he was too! darn bashful ever to ask her again,' For weeks Tom had been brag-: ging about getting the most letters from dames of all the guys in our gang. On the other hand, Roge prob-: ably got the least mail of all of "Dearest Roger,' it said. i write-ups about Roge and _ his. bravery, and his Gary Cooperish. face appeared in all the newspa- pers and magazines, things sure changed. : | Of course the fellows in our tent weren't slow to let Tom know that there was one guy in the outfit get- ting more mail from dames than he: was. Tom bet Roge two hundred' dollars that, given a month's time,: : could still be top man so far s such missives were concerned. oge took him up, stipulating that everything must be on the up and up or the wager would be off. ! | I offered to help Roge with his answers, and didn't spare the roses,; described the moonlight and the: de sweep of sand and said how us. But after all those high-powered' | Roge's name. And the results were good. A But the strangest thing was that bucketful for Tom, too. He let us examine them, and they all seemed 'to be the McCoy. ' The worst of it was that there was. ia letter to him from Polly 'Meacham. Beside those she sent, jpoor old Roge, it sizzled and scorched. | Things la while, with Tom gradually nosing 'Roger out. I dropped a personal note to Polly,; itelling her about the bet and how Roge really loved her and asking: her please to do a little sleuthing 'about Tom at her end. Two days before the month ended,. Roger sat on his bunk reading a' long letter from Polly with smiles chasing themselves all over his face. And, after he had finished, he handed it to me with a_ wide,: bashful grin. "Dearest Roger,'"' it said. 'Yes, I'm going to begin my letter that 'way because I've been in love with you almost forever, and I think you, icare a little about me. - "But I have another important: thing to take up with you first. The' 'bet you made with Tom Norris. 'About a month ago a letter came: ifrom Tom, asking me to marry him.. '| Naturally I was flabbergasted. But '|omen are pretty scarce here, and _| your notes were pretty stiff and for- imal, so I wan't too definite in my: | refusal. I--well. I thought I'd stall: 'la bit. "One afternoon at the Red Cross Lucy Beemis came in, her face shin- 'ing like a Christmas candle. 'Girls,' she shouted, 'I'm engaged to Tom: Norris and I want you to be the. first to know it.' "'Like heck you are,' glared Gertie Simons. 'He just proposed to me via air mail, and I accepted him.' "There were ten girls in that one. group Tom had proposed to by A.P.O. "So, Roge, you really win. You. can tell the boys that Tom violated the terms of the agreement by ask-! ing more than fifty girls to marry him just to beat the bet un the rd 0 I a { Chinese Enterprise A Chinese, Ts'ai Lun invented the process of making paper in A.D. 105..

Simple - Inexpensive - Convenient There are many places you can use rubber stamps to good advantage. Most people think of them as only good for business purposes, but a neat arrangement of your name and address on a rubber stamp is very handy for many purposes. For instance, where you would like to have an inexpensive way of putting your name and ad- dress at the top of your letter, a return address on the envelope. This same stamp could also be used for placing your name and address on your books. : Full particulars gladly furnished on those suitable for your particular purpose.
