Then oho un derotando: then oleo, Cllvo H a potrtblo auy in Lou-Lou, Chapter 41 STAGE DOOR JOHNNY CLIVH was locking 1b Unease. He had never had underhand deal ing! with womer. To get In touch with Lou-Lou he chose the course that was most direct. Having wait ed till hie wUe and Dicky were tattled for the evening, he slipped Into his coat and .iat. Bearing movements, Santa called, What are you doing, darling T" 'Appointment with a friend." That brought her into the ball on the run. "What sort of a friend T" "Sort of business friend." "That's a fib. Ton can't He like the truth. Besides " He glanced back In the aot of es caping. "Besides whatt" "Yon mustn't leave me alone with Dicky." "Santa, you'ie a fraud. Being alone with Dloky ought to be sec mid nature." as he bent his steps toward the glare ot Broadway, he thought fu riously. This Dicky business was becoming more serious than he'd anticipated. More serious than even Santa imagined. The rendezvous that he was planning was a strategy ot despera tion. Be set hlmsnf a problem In arithmetic: It his marriage had taken nine months to degenerate to this muddle, how many more months would It require to bust np completely! Having reached the theater where Lou-Lou disported, be bought an orchestra seat and handed a note to the elerV In the office. "Please have It delivered." The note read: My dear Miss Lou-Lou, exouss ' my familiarity It's the only name by which X know you. If you can spar ma a few moments, I shall . ba moat grateful, My bustneae la urgent. It concerns a friend of your! Rlohard Dak. He had written it over as many times as a school-boy, his object be ing to spur curiosity and at the same time to prevent her from mis taking him tor a stage-struck Johnny. Ha felt furtive, almost wicked a young man on the loose. He was doing no worse than Santa. Never theless, as he sank In his seat, he was thankful for the darkness. During the intermission an at tendant tapped him on the shoulder. "At the end ot the performance Miss Sandrelle will see yon in her dressing-room." He picked up a program and read Lou-Lou Sandrelle on the list of actresses. Sandrelle was as good a same as any if yon had been chris tened Smith or Jones. Miserably selfconsclous, at the final lowering ot tbe curtain he wandorad into the foyer. Everyone respectable was departing. "I have an appointment with Miss Sandrelle," he muttered, and was directed to the stags entrance. Thenoe he was handed on through scenery in process ot being dis mantled, till he found blmsait out side a door in a gloomy passage. With sinking neart be tapped. : "Come In. O it's you I She grinned like a street-urchin. only partially clad and totally un embarrassed. "I troubled you. Miss Sandrelle " "If you're a friend ot Dicky's," she at htm short, "you're a friend ot mine. What about him?" ' Perching on a stool before the mirror, she began to powder her arms and throat. That done, she reddened her lips and dabbed her are with perfume, dive had never been treated to sights so Intimate by any woman except Santa, "You're a nice boy." She spoke again, attempting to put him at his ease. "I've a date with a beau. That's the reason I'm squealing you Into my only spare moment." "Ie your date with Dicky r "And It It Is?" She glanced across her gleaming shoulder. "He won't keep It." Cllve sank bis head. "We're companions In misfor tune adrift In the same boat. I hate to tell you. He's with my wife, and there he'll stay till I return to break up the party." "The big, soft lumpl" was her only comment. HOPE OF FARMER CHICAGO, Deo. . yr) Presl dent Edward A. O'Neal ot the Amer ican Farm Bureau Federation today approved the principle ot the domee tlo allotment plan for farm relief. As pars of a leglelatlv nirfre.ro advocated at the farm bureau's 14th annual convention, O'Neal said the agricultural marketing aot "muat be amended to provide for the disposal of that part of our atapls eomraod Hies required for domeatlo consump tion at a price which will reflect bock to Vie farmer the benefit of trie protective tariff." "The blggeat a pot In the present picture la the tact that the president-elect of the United State) haa pledged that agricultural relief will be given Immediate attention by his administration," said O'Neal.

She was lovely, collected, entirely un daunted. With slackened speed she was brushing her fair hair, which Santa had declared was tinted. "I'm wondering," he faltered. "why he couldn't be content with you?" "I'm not his class, dearie." She smiled at her reflection. "Yon ought to paste him one on the nose, or, better still, go home and beat up your wife." "Out of the question." She turned In surprise, tapping her knee Impatiently with her brush. "Can't beat up jft.ur wlfel Who's a better right? What's to prevent you?" A thousand reasons." It's not done In your set, I sup pose?" "That's one ot them. But there are heaps of others. I love her and there's nothing she wouldn't do for me. She'd stake me with her last dollar." Then why's she messing about with my beau?" dive's gaze te.L "She was married to him." Dead silence. Lou-Lou slipped off her stool and stole toward him. You poor guyl You're the one shs gypped to marry Dicky the one who wa always crazy over her. You see, Dicky's told me." She rest ed her hand on his shoulder. I know all about you, too." Cllve stared up at her. "Santa's told me. I guoss we haven't much to learn about each other." 'Let's compare notes," she sug gested. He put you In this show," CUvs mumbled, "and he makes you an allowance." She nodded. "I'm the same as yon are with her; he's my baby, I'm crazy oral him. He's never treated me right He couldn't treat any woman right When he sees a bit ot fluff he thlnki he likes better, he appeals to mj chivalry to let him go. He appealed to my chivalry to clea out when ha got married. "He's a great one for appealing to women's chivalry. I'll bet that's how he's got round your cutis second time. AS far as I'm con cerned, I don't really mind; hs comes whimpering back when he's been hurt, like a grubby little boy can't do without me. And L like I sap, fall for him." Cllve struggled to his feet "You're fine. The little I know about women I've picked up from my wife." She laughed good-naturedly and returned to her dressing. "If you've aver borrowed any ot her polo-coats, you must have picked up a mouthful." Adjusting a chlo hat, as she tugged It down across her fore head, she questioned: "Want me to whistle Dicky off? Is that It?" "It you don't want to lose him." "Ever try to lose a cat?" She flung at him her urchin smile. Having arranged ber furs, she turned. "How do I look?" , "Stunning." "Slim and sumptuous," she added to his praise. "I'll say I dot" With a comradeship that was startling, she poked her arm through his. "Take me somewhere. I'm hun gry." Leaving the deserted theater, they plunged into Broadway. Not wishing to make themselves con spicuous, they entered a Chllds. Across a marble-topped table she pinned him. "Yon hare a plan." "I have, but I hadn't" He lower ed his voice. "What yon said about Dicky's trick of appealing to wo men's chivalry Is true. My wife thinks she's making a sew man of him. If she were to find out tor tact that he's " "My ' very best beau." Lou-Lou stirred her coffee. Cllve noddod. "Fur would fly. She'd kick him out." "Klok him back to me." Lou-Lou laughed gaily. "I get your idea." They spoke In whispers, hatching their plot, "We'll have to make It realistic," she warnod him, "yon mustn't mind It I Insult you, too." Hts last word at parting was, "111 telephone you at the theater when tbe hour Is ripe." (C,rrttH I'll-ml. ( Dmnto) When Cllvt return, Monday, ha end Santa weeplna.

Once upon a time mere was a very lazy young Gnome who worked In Santa clsua' toyshop up nesr the North Pole. Re was suposed to carve out beau tiful wooden soldiers snd then paint their pretty red suits. But lnatead he played all day with the soldiers' tiny guns and swords. One day he bad been particularly lazy. He hadn't carved out one sin gle soldier. And then be suddenly saw Santa coming toward blm. He snatched up a knife and a piece of wood and carved so fast that he almost had a complete soldier In a twinkling. But Just then nil knife ellpped. He was making the poor sol dier's face. He made a tiny little head and great big nose, and the poor little soldier doll looked so terrible that the Onome Just knew flanta wouldn't permit him In any Infantry at all. And there was nothing he could do about It. Once a doll Is made, be can't be broken or remodeled. So there he was. And the minute the Onome had finished him, the doll Jumped up on the workshop table and began to shout: "Look what you're done! You've made me so homely nobody will want me. Lok at that nose. I can hardly see over It." And the poor little fel low covered his lace with bony, little TAILSPIN TOMMY unocvee srwreo 7s hunt WW thcm's ms smp- t' sood hea veN 1M Hp W now may bp use iL "wits in our favok. eeTry- fo 70 rtv 7xtsi-o-t .

But Santa bos a remedy for every thing. He knew how to make the weeping doll dry hie tears. "But you will mean more to us than a whole company of handsome soldiers," said Santa to the doll. "How do you mean?" asked the doll, so surprised that he stopped crying. Really, he did look funny. His little body waa ao thin, his knees snd elbows looked so bumpy and hla nose waa longer than his head. "Call my Funny Man", cried Santa. And soon the merriest looking little fellow cams nlppety-hop across the tables and stopped right next to tbe long-nosed doll. "Funny Man, have you got one of those little luck coins In your pock et?" seked Santa. "Yes. s-l-l-r-r-l . Here It Is," said the Funny Man. "Olve It to this doll. We will call blm Plnoochlo tbe Clown, and It will be bis good luck to nuke everyone laugh, even the saddest." So the Funny Man handed the weeping doll the coin, and Plnocchlo because that'a what we will call blm now put It In hla little coat pocket. "Now do a danoe," Santa com manded.

"Ho-ho-ho and ha-ha-bal" shouted tbe whole toyshop. The dolls and Ths Poor Little Soldier Doll Looked so Terrible. the fairies all crowded around Just shouting with laughter. Plnochhlo liked that and be laugh ed and laughed and danced faster and faster, until he couldn't dance any more. "Now," aald Santa, turning to the Onome. "You have made a mistake. In payment you must create the most beautiful doll In the shop, or I will banish you to the loe Kingdom." So the Onome set to work. -- THIS PLACE, PAID MS RESULARLV AN1D GOOD.

The lazy Onome had no easy taak before him when he woe ordered to make tbe most beautiful doll ever crested In Toyland. You remember, Santa had ordered him to do so after be made Plnoc chlo, the clown with the long nose. He thought snd thought, and the more be sat around and thought, the leas hs seemed to know. So hs went outside and sat on a snowball, feel ing so blus that a group of little snow elvee came and aat by him. "We know somebody who would help you." one of them whispered. "Who In the world could It be?" asked the Onome. "The Snow Princess," thsy an swered. "Pleaas take me to her," said the Onome. So they all romped off to a hill of enow where the sun res ahlnlng so bright the whole hill glls tened, and right on top was a beau tiful, tiny throne of Ice on which aat the little Snow Princess. Her whole robe looked like dlsmonds and she wore a tiny crown of star-shaped snowflakes. "I've been thinking about you." she ssld to ths Onome.' "My fairies make loe-plctures on windows and hang Icicles around the roofe, but we've never made a doll, and we'd like to help you." "Dear Prlnceaa, If you only would," aald the Gnome. "I muat moke the doll myaelf or Santa will know, but I am sure If I could Just sit here and model one after your llknese there Is nothing could rival the beauty of what I wlU do." The Snow Princess smiled. "You are as gallant as a new Tin YBS.THEReTAHAT THAT ePLAIrS il SOH, I6IMfKIN6,YOLS'RE YOUNG AND IS 6HE' A E5f EVERYTHING! SIMPKINS . jSg HOPE HOT ?

"And I am mare Inclined than ever to help you. Bun down to the Toyshop and bring up your materials. Bring yellow curls, snd eyes ss blue as sapphires and we shsll see about the clotb' i among ourselves." So ths Gnome ran as fast as his little fat legs could carry blm. And then he ran back up the bill. The anow fairies had made a table for him with a shiny Ice-top and they bad found a pair of magic all ver acisaors for him that eon only cut beautiful thlnga. Re set to work. He modeled snd snipped and sewed, making his doll look like the Snow rrinceas. And when he waa through there was the most beautiful doll of Toyland with a delicate smile like the Princess, and beautiful little nands and feet, and soft yellow curls, Then six little snow fairies step ped up to the doll and placed on her a soft, glistening dress of pale blue Just the shade of Ice on the lake whenthe aky overhead la very blue, and then they threw about her ahoulders a long white robe that looked Just like snowflakes women to gether, but really It wu quite as worm as fur. "Now my gift." said the Snow Prin cess, and ahe stepped down from her throne to place a tiny crown of flash ing atars on the doll's head and to band her a little wand, tipped By a alngle atar. "Your name will be Inga, the Beau tiful." ahe said. "And no nutter where you go the snow fairies will see that you are safe and happy."
