The bureau of fisheries says that the
Mediterranean sponge fishery Is of
considerable antiquity and it produces
over half In value of the world supply,
though It 1s Impossible to obtain accu-
rate statistics for all countries on Its
border. The fisheries of the American
coast produce by far the largest quan-

priced kinds reduce the value to about

misery. “Turn him down?” There
was a bitter little smile at her lips.
“How could I when be—he hasn’t even
asked me."
“He was going to.” Jake went on
even though Kip tried to stop him.
“That’s why he asked for the raise.
You must have said something or be
wouldn’t be quitting.”
“A raise? Quitting?" It was all
news to Mullens. She paled. “Kip,
you’re not—”
Kip shrugged. "It was your Idea,

but we figured by the look on his face
that be had had it out with Mullens.
“I’m through," he said, moving heav-
ily to the door. “Checking out"
“You got a raise and you’re quit-
ting?” Jake raised him. “What’s the
big Idea?”
With his hand on the door knob be
muttered It. “Ask Mullens."
So Jake did as she came through tlie
door that minute.
“Mullens,” he blurted out, “you didn’t
turn him down?*’
It turned out to be an embarrassing
question. But Mullens gave it to us

ALONG about this time In the spring
season, Mudder McMork starts
acting like a frisky colt At Santa
Anita last year al) the tip-bosses we’re
laying our-cherries on gets within 50
yards of the wire and tnen layt down
and goes to sleep. But Mudder ain’t
got a care In the world even when It
looks like the only way we’ll get back
to the east coast Is on a raft And the
reason Mudder don’t worry nohow
sbout nothing Is because he’s got a
blond filly tangled In his hair.
She ain’t slcklehocked, I has to give
ber that. Fast is, though I ain’t seen
her pedigree she's got her points. But
there’s one thing s?rewy about her:
she don’t understand nothing about the
the bangtails.
So Mudder takes her up to the feed
box and shows her how to buy a two-
dollar ticket. Just as If it was difficult.
The bide which the lady lays her cher-
ries on kisses the eight pole. But
when Mudder tries to explain to her
that not every bangtail In the heat
wine, she starts to haw] plenty and
says she don’t understand how the
horses can treat her so nasty mean
when she loves them Just awful
The next time she cracks down her
dinero, Mudder ain’t got the heart to
tell her she loses again so he says her
hide got the nod and he ponies up the
winning cherries out of his own pants.
She gets more crazy about the pretty
poules and wants to win more, so Mad-
der explains to her something about
betting. “See,” he says, "here la a four-
year-old gelding, Whlffle-snaff, what
will clean up In the next race, as the
track Is still a little heavy from this
morning's rain and he is the only first-
class mudder In the field.”
Which same Is Jnst a waste of breath.
All she wants, like everybody else, Is
to win her • barrel of cherries. “How
much,” she asks, “will we make on this
WIHffle-snaff?”
“Well," Mudder says, “the odds on
him will close at about 4 to 5; that'
means for every five bucks you bet,
yon will get four—If the nag gets the
nod." ♦
“There Isn’t no sense In that," the
blond filly comes back. “Why should
I put up five dollars and then if the
pony wins I only get four dollars?”
According to what I learned at school,
that way I lose one dollar."
So then Mudder tells, her that she
gets her finlf back nnd also four bucks
pro'fit. But that don’t appeal to her
nohow. Instead she picks her own fa-
vorite and lays her cherries across Its
nose. Mudder Is so sick with the lore
fever that when the nag loses, he tells
her It wins and ponies up the dinero
out of his pants like before. And this
goes on until holding her program card
for the afternoon has cost Mudder
Just one grand, that being all the cher-
ries he's got, and all we’ve got.'
And now when we are all eleaned,
Itoaring Reggie breezes Into Arcadia
with a hide. Laughing Water, which It
is plain to he seen has got everything.
And because he has been keeping her
from the slip snatchers. However, we
have no dinero at all now since Mud-
d4r dropped that "grand on the blond
filly. But Harry the Pinhead states It
Is up to Mudder Jo get the dame to
let us use the grand long enough to
put It on Reggie’s hide at 3O to 1. This,
of course, Mudder does not want to do.
But he changes his mind suddenly
after Beeser Bertie trits on him and I
pour water down his neck.
On the day Laughing Water Is due
to cop, we snaffle the blond filly and
Mudder tells her If she will bet that
grand for us on Reggie's hide ho will
make her a present of a glass ring.

HER name was Geraldine Mullens
but none of us ever bothered with
all that. We didn't even call ber
Jerry. It was Jut Mullens. •
Mullens was old T. G.’s secretary;
an Important Job at the Stone Adver-
tising agency. She was platinum pre-
ferred, with grave blue eyes that
sparkled when she smiled. And she
was little and cuddly, though none of
the boys at the agency ever did much
about that till Kip Wilkens came
along. The fact was, you couldn’t
help thinking of Mullens as cuddly but
you Just didn’t talk about it She was
that important
Kip was a salesman, one of the best.
He was handsome, the dark, romantic
.type, and be bad a lazy Southern
drawl. It was evident from the start
that Mullens liked him. Kip fell for
her, too. Only sometimes he forgot
to consult her on Important matters,
end that-was bad. He didn’t do It* to
be mean. He was really crazy about
the girl. But he Just didn't tblnk of
Mullens that way.'
It was hard on Queen Mullens after
her long, successful* reign and some-
times the air got pretty thick. She
tried to take It gracefully. But Kep
was a frequent offender. And one day
things came to a climax.
Kip burst into the office this day, his
face Just one big grin. Mullens wss
out of the room.
“Boys," he announced, “I’m going to
bit old T. G. for a raise." -
Jake whistled softly.
"You must be going to get msrried,
or something," he said.
"You guessed It," said Kip, “that is,
if she’ll hsve me."
Nobody asked whom he meant
all knew be was talking about
lens. But Jake warned him.
“You better not go In there
Mullens has been getting rid of bigger
men than you today. She’D never for-
give you If you go over her head this
time."
Kip hoisted himself up onto one of
the desks, pushed his hat back on his
head.
“Boys, you don’t understand. I can’?
tell Mullens why 1 want to see old T.
G. because I haven’t asked ber to
mary me yet I can't ask her till I get
more money. So that’s that And
now, while I've still got my nerve—”
he slid off the desk and strode toward
old T. G?s office -Just -as Mullens ap-
peared In the opposite doorway.
“Kip," her voice was tense, "where
are you going?"
Kip gave her that winning smile, but
his shoulders were squared to the deed.
“Got to see old T. G., honey. Got
to see him right away. It’s Important"
Mullens was tired.
^You can't see him now,” she cried.
“Whatever it rs It will have to
wait"
Mullens’ orders. But there was no
stopping Kip. He shook his head.
“Sorry, Mullens, but this can’t wait"
And in he went

dame has to be to hang around Mud-
der, the agrees.
Wel^ we figure how we are going
to spend our thirty grand until the
post parade and then we watches the
beat from the rati. Laughing Water
does beautiful until she gets to the
home stretch sod then she quits cold.
Later we are holding a wake in my
stable In the hotel and planning how
we are going to get back to Broadway.
While we are crying into our beer the
blond filly eomes In and goes Into
line about how mncA she loves
beautiful IIttje ponies.
“I went up to the sweet man In
cage," she says, “and tells him to -put
the thousand dollars on Laughlpg Wa-
ter across the nose, like Mudder told
me to. But when I ask him how much
we will win, he says the odds Is only
80 to 1. ’Why,* I says to him, *that la
no bargain at all I Haven't you got
something better?*
“So then be tells me he has a very
pretty horse for 50 to 1 and another
lovely - brow n ^iorse for 00 to 1. I am
tempted by these two ponies which
he states are so beautiful but I asks
him what else there la. ’What,* I says,
?ls the best bargain on the counter
today?* And then he says be has a
nice black horse 100 to 1, which would
look very well with my black and white
sports ensemble The horse's name Is
Handsome Harold, and that Is a slmlpy
scrumptious name."
"Why," I says, “that Is the dark
horse that ion the heat.”
“You’re telling me?" the blond filly
cracks. And with that, she opens her
bag and dumps a hundred grand
