I WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER XXIX ANDT arrived at Betty's house promptly to take her to the party. When she was 1b his car ho said: "Don't crab the party tonight. Betty. These are nice girls, even If they are a little unconvention al. They both work at City Hall and earn their living." "Why do you. suggest X might crab the party r she asked. "Oh, I don't know. You are all right sometimes, bat other times you seem a regular prude. What's a few kisses, mora or lees, any how?" He Jaughed. "I don't mind your kissing me. Andy, out I'm not much for India criminate kisses. "When I took a punch at-Dau- bert you told ma you liked mo a little. Just prove it tonight by re laxing, ii u be good for you." Before she could reply they ar rived at tne apartment house. He Introduced her to two nice-looking giris. wno tried to make her feel at home. Doc and the Irrepressible Harry arrived a few minutes later, their arms filled with packages wnicn proved Jo be oranres. rin geralej sardines, crackers, picklej and olives. There was a two-quart ooiwe or some colorless liquid, which Betty suspected to be gin. a & w Lasxe nil ere, you!" command ed Peggy, the taller girl. "I told you your card of admission to this flat was either a side of bacon or a ham. How do you suppose we eat when you aren't here? Yon will eat and drink all this stuff tonight and leave the apartment with nothing In It but squoze or anges, empty cans, empty bottles ana vain regrets." "Peg, I tried to bring the bacon or the ham." Harrv answered. solemnly, "but the pig I picked was a marathon runner. I ran him till he was too thin to make good ham or bacon and then left him you woulr rather see me without to his own devices, knowing that bacon than miss me as I did the Pig." "The way you make up stories, you would make a good married man.'" laughed Peggy. Ms hat. "When "a woman begins o talk about marrying me It Is time , to' go." - -c't v. h; - "I will never marry you when I am sober," assured Peggy "and I haven't the slightest intention of getting tight tonight." "Darling, you may kiss me!" cried Harry. "You are so good to me!" sigh ed Peggy, putting her arms around him and 'kissing him long and llngertngly. The supplies were carried to the kitchenette, where Peggy and Har ry remained to make up a drink whilo the others chatted and lis tened to the phonograph. Harry appeared with a large cocktail shaker and. Peggy with a tray of glasses. When they were tilled Andy took two and, with a warn ing look at Betty, handed her one.' Sho drank with them. As she put down the glass Andy patted her on the back, approvingly. "How come you arent dancing tonight?" asked Doc of Betty. She looked 'helplessly at. Andy, but Harry gave them a humorous explanation of the affair , at the Iron Door. They all seemed to think It a huge Joke, and said Andy should marry the girl he had show them ; some of the : steps. Gathering their skirts up out of the way. they both practiced with her until Harry came back with the refilled cocktail shaker. : - Betty and Peggy, Andy and Ha ry sat on a big divan while Sally perched on Doc's lap. They sipped their cocktails. Betty was now a bit dlsxy, but she turned to Andy and asked: "Am I crabbing your partyt" "You are the world's one best bet!" ho assured her, holding her eloee and kissing her. ; Doe and Sally started the mu sic He held he to him. and kiss ed her from time to time, in a moment Harry and Peggy were also dancing. V . "Come on!" Andy put his arm around Betty and tried to pull hr to her feet. "I must get Into my clothes!" she said, looking at her bars legs. "Stay the way you are. You look good!" Andy answered. They began to dance again, and she let Andy pull her to her feet and began to dance with him. She was half embarrassed and half defiant. She had danced publicly with less clothing than she now had on. and tried to Justify herself by the fact that the others paid her no attention. Andy held her dose and kissed her now and then as they danced. She rave herself Into his arms completely, closing her eyes as ob jects In the room swayed before her. The record ended. She stood rescued. In story-book fashion. They had another drink to the; clasped, in Anays arms, wnue an- hero. Betty sipping hers with the rest. There was enough left In the shaker for another round of drinks, but Andy commanded: "Pass Betty this time. She is Just In from the country and will pass out If we aren't careful. "The only one of us who has ever passed out was you at the frat dance!" Jeered Betty. - She reached tor the cocktail, but Har ry walked away saying: "The lit tle girl will put on her dance later. We don't want her kicking any one in the eye." : . "Oh, please dance for us! ".beg ged the girls. .' 1 "But I have bo costume!" ob jected Betty. -., .. "Put on my bathing suit," fug- Yes, go on! Give us a dance!" begged Andy. Remembering what he said about crabbing the party, Betty went into the next room and put on Peggy's red bathing togs. She danced her jazz number to the music of a phonograph record. She finished amid wild applause. Andy pulled her down on his lap, kissed her on the back of the neck, and told her she was won derful. . then found a waits, to which she She rested a few minutes, and improvised one of those slow, graceful waltzes. Peggy and her "Good night!" Harry picked up roommate, Sally, Insisted that she other was substituted. As they started dancing again someone touched tbj electric light button, and they danced on by the 'dim street light reflected from the cell ing. Closo pressed to Andy, she wondered why she could not dance on like this forever, forgetting work and care. The music stopped. Andy sat down in a big chair, pulling her on his lap. No one made a move to relight the room. Betty could dim ly make out one. man's figure on the couch, his head in a girl's lap. She stooped low to kiss him. An Indistinguishable mass In another chair was the. other couple. Betty laughed as she realized that she was on her. first petting party. c Shef snuggled down, in Andy's arms and thre wher head back. giving her Hps .unrestrainedly. Hdlnutea or hours or years passed. Betty did not know or care. She Was' growing drowsy, yet she was happy. Her hands wandered around Andy's face, pulling ten derly at a lobe of his ear, touch ing his cheeks or nsck. He held her to him so closely that she could hardly breathe. Suddenly he jumped to his feet. "Go in 'the other room and get drecsed!" he commanded, tensely. We are going home." "I don't want to go home. I want to stay here and love you!" protested Betty, THE OLD HOME TOWN Stanley .1: -Al-to.rz J' T" l y s'TV 'XV IMARSHAU OTEY WALKER HAD HIS HANDS e-'. ;: - POU- THl AFTERHOON WITH A RUN AWcr.

"Better go while you can!" "Aw, what's the matter?" com plained Doc from across the dark ened room. "Shut up! We're beating it!" snapped Andy. "Don't .'disturb yourselves." "Oh, very well. But it's Just the shank of the evening. Want any help, Betty?" It was Peggy's voice. "NaT thank you," answered Bet ty. "But I didn t pass out, and I didn't crab the party, did I, Andy?"

He said the senate public lands committee avowed "that the information they . sought to elicit from Sinclair was not for aid in formulating legislation." , More Technicalities Raised Further, Littleton contended that Sinclair, who is under sen tence by the supreme court of the District of Columbia of three months in .jail and to pay a fine of 600 was . not properly called by the committee. The ' counsel argued the conviction of his client for a "statutory crime" was there fore not valid because "every requisite must be complied with." ' The attorney described how the sergeant at arms of the senate telegraphed the federal marshal at New York to "serve" he tele gram on Sinclair, and asserted that no proof of any summons was included in the charge j against him. He termed this part of the proceedings a "rag bag " sum mons." "Every citizen Is under dan ger, if the Sentence Is upheld," Littleton continued. He said Sinclair was being "asked into prison" and that to describe the committee's Inquiry as legislative was an "afterthought of its in tent?
