Marlt'a moth er drules that Barbara ffould counttaanoe auch an asreenienl, but Marc orders her lo "shut ui." Chapter 44 "COMI0 OPERA PIFFLE" "It's all very well for Mark to tell me to shut up I" thrust in Mrs. Lodely. "But I don't see why I shouldn't say I never heard any thin' so fantastic In all my life. And you can't deny that I warned you, Farrell, didn't I? I said Babs has never had a thought apart from Mark, I said. But I daresay you're ono of the stubborn sort, you'd rather take a toss at a hedge than go around by a gate" "One moment, Mrs. Lodcly. Mark wants to say something." "It's hardly worth my saying. But do you happen to know, Arm itage, that on the very duy of my operation Barbara was begging me, to be thoroughly ungallant, Badgering be into marylng her in a tew days' time?" "I know that." Armllago was ae tcrmlned to keep cool. "She thought that I wasn't keeping my nart of our compact." "3he thought you were deliber ately dragging me down to your level," contributed Mark and shook with genuine mirth. "But now our compact is re newed. The day will come when she will quite definitely choose you or me." "Bab'll marry Markl Anythln' else is out of the question. Of course Babs'U marry Mark!" Mrs. Lodely's face had mottled pain fully. "She may marry neither of us," suggested Mark, still Immensely CUNDOWN BARGAIN DAY By Mary Graham Bonner Top Notch, the Rooster, Mayor of Juddle Muddle and keeper of Pud dle Muddle's only store, stood out side the deserted ahed which he had made into his place of busi ness, and crowed at the top of his voice: "Bargain Day! Come and get your bargalnsi Ducks and all, come and get everything at cheaper prices. ".Today I'm selling two tins of bugs for the price of one. Today I'm selling two balls of string for the price of one. String will be a help it you're doing any nest build- "Today I'm selling the first sup lng. Birds, listen to what I say! ply of seeds for the season. Today I'm selling crumbs for next to noth ing." Top Notch's store was down be low the hill from Willy NUly's re pair shop. Willy Nllly had arrived early In the morning and had painted a sign (cross the front of the shed. It lead: "Top Notch's General Store, Top Notch, Proprietorr." The animals all came for bar ilns. Mr. and Mrs. Quacko Duck were the first to arrive, waddling up to the shed as quickly as they could. Mrs. Quacko carried her white bag over her wing and paid for her pur chases out of Puddle Muddle money. In Puddle Muddle if you bought something very big and expensive you paid for it with a good sized twig and if you bought something very small and inexpensive you nave only a little slick in payment Top Notch gave Willy Nllly ad hesive tapo in exchange for the work Willy Nllly had done in paint ing Top Notcho's sign. Rip, the Dog, bought two o'.d bones for the price of one. Oh, everyone got wonderful bargains! 1 amused. Armltage " smiled with equal good humor. "That, at the moment, seems the most probable. She '' admits , site doesn't care for me. And the wants her engagement to you definitely and publicly broken." And Arm! tage laid upon the table, next to the tumbled vase, the emerald in Its platinum web. There was a dead silence. Mrs Lodely, from whom Immediate clamor might have been expected. sat and gasped. The red patches on her face grew deeper. Mark put out a finger ad touched the jewel idly. At last "I'd absolutely forgotten I ever gave her the thing," he said jus! above his breath, and Armltage had tho impression that he meant it. His indifference loosened Mrs. Lodely's tongue. "If you'll excuse me sayln1 Farrell, you'd do better not to mix yourself up in this. Of course, feeliu' as you do about Barbara, It's natural you should hope she's done with Mark, but believe me, they've had these tiffs before and they always make 'em up again. Don't you Mark? And as for the emerald, Babs never liked it and I think it's very sensible of her to send it back. If I were you, Mark, I'd sell it and buy her some thin' she'd like better. Why not give her a nice ring? She'll feel more like other engaged girls then." There was another long silence. "That's really rather a good idea," commented Mark at last. Again he poked at the stone, a green, deep pool, winking in the light of the fire. "Unfortunately, I'm not in a condition to hawk it for sale. You don't happen to col lect emeralds, Armltage?" "I don't, but I'll buy this one." "Poor old Armitage!" crooned Mark. "You daren't prevent my being able to afford Barbara a ring." "Of course I dorc'nt! Any more than you dare prevent my send ing her flowers and books " "Tlie devil you do!" "You and I," continued Armltage cheerfully writing 'Mark Lodely, Esq.' on the blank check. "you and I are now, as a result of my machl nutions, rivals of equal distinction for a lady's hand. I shall hang about her unashamedly for the agreed time. If she still won't have me, I shall clear out of the country." "And try to steal a girt from some other poor devil of a crip ple!" Mark's sudden rage was upon him. "You know you've pretended to be so cursedly open and un ashamed and all that, but you've playo a low-down game and you know it. God, If I had the strength, I'd give you the damnedest hid ing!" "You may have that strength yet. When you have, remember that it was I who bought it back for you." Mark muttered furiously and was silent. Remember also that It was through your behavior and not mine that she broke off her en Kaitement to you." "Comic-opera- pin lei Bne does that kind of thing. Makes me sick, looking coy and pulling at a daisy, he loves me he loves me noti But I've always told her I won't endure it and I won't endure it now." His voice rose wildly. "Tough I suppose that, while I'm on my back here, youll feel free to cook tin any lies against me that you think she'll swallow. What is she doing? Where is she? I haven't even an address to write to . You're deliberately keeping her away from me!" "Hardly! Last week I brought her up from Kings Mallard, where she has wound up her ailairs. She is at Miss Kaoul's hou.se in St. John's Wood, busy redecorating: it. How much did you soy you wanted for the emerald?"

H. Guild of the University of Kansas. Tho professor, here to lead a discussion group at the convention or tho American Political Science Association, cited the reading of bills by the cleric and the roll call as examples of unnecesary regu lations. Every legislator lias a copy of all bills," he said, "yet the clerk must spend needless hours going through the form of reading them aloud. The roll call is a holdover from the middle '60s, when people were suspicious of legislatures .suspect ed of rushing bills through with out sufficient consideration. They voted for the regulation requiring an "aye" of "no' from each legisla tor before a legislature could ap prove a bill. "But, now with electrical voting systems such as have been demon s Mated In California, every legis lature could save at least 14 days by eliminating the tedious roll calls." i A NSWERS TO A fl XQUESTIONS f By Frederic J.

But the tips of her ears glowed red. The check changed hands and Armitage slipped tho emerald back into his pocket; and at once Mrs. Lodely be. gan to talk at the top of her voice, possibly to drown the sound of the transaction. "It's absurd even to think of Barbara seriously breakin' with Mark," she announced. "Why the're been devoted to each other since they were children! Mark's father made Babs promise" "You and I, Mrs. Lodely, are the last people in the world to prophesy Barbara's actions, I'm anxious to believe the engagement broken be cause. I want to marry her myself. You're anxious to think it still ex ists because " Armitage paused, then added deliberately, "because you think marriage with Barbara would be financially advantageous to your son. tTo be Continued! 9urrv 2-ioJ Puff finds that the bull is a friend of his youth.
