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

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

graceful waltzes. Peggy and her

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

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,

(AP) Arguing that Harry P,

refusing to answer certain ques
tions asked by a senate committee
relative to the Teapot Dome naval
oil . leases, Martin Littleton, the
oil . man's counsel today chal
lenged the supreme court to find
anything in these questions relat

"Hurry up! Get dressed! We're
going!" repeated Andy. "Better
go while you can!"
"Aw, what's the matter?" com
plained Doc from across the dark

"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?"
"No. you are all right," he as
sured her. "Get dressed as soon
as you can."
He sat down In the chair to wait.
When Betty's dim figure appear
ed in the doorway a few moments
later he said: "Good night!
Thanks for a fine party!

committee questions ; "where the
bounds of the power, are exceeded
or : the : questions are not perti
nent." 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? Four Questions Read
He read the four questions, on
which for refusal to answer the
oil man was Indicted and ex.
plained that they covered crim
inal matters which Sinclair knew
would be delved Into In the con
spiracy , case Involving him and
former Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall, who leased the oil
reserves to Sinclair. Littleton
said Sinclair had appeared before
senate committees five times in
connection with the leases, later
set aside.
One hour and 20- minutes were
assigned to each tor argument o '
the case. George P. Hoover, o'
Sinclair counsel has IS minutes t,
close and it was announced tha"
the government's Ume would b
shared between Owen J. Robert
and Atlee Pomerene, special coun -set
. -
The whole record in the pro
ceedings asked five questions or
the court for Its guidance In de
ciding the case, but on. a govern
ment motion resisted by Sinclair
Amine all of the evidence.
