Right then the attitude of the rav-

extreme. But there was no telling
how soon *he might thaw. And if the
thawing process should take place
before .they reached her apartment
house, who knew but what sne would
ask Mr. Adams In for a cup ot tea

ly. of Course. But Tack* wished to
be prepared. And he percslvM that.
In the event of «uch a splendid oc-
currence. the dog Lily could hardly

Lily continued to keep up with the
party. Tucks reasoned that hla
chances of being Invited aloft fur re-
freshment were practically n 11.
Wherefore he decide dto ditch Lily.
He walled until the cab neared the

Vera had her abode Then he ad-
dressed the driver

Packy glanced up
"What now?" she demanded sharp-
ly
"Nothing to get steamed up about.

friend of mine I'm going to leave

Packy looked at him suspiciously
for a second Then she opened her
mouth, but shut It again without
speaking Tacks got out. hauled Lily
from the prominence of the front
seat and piloted her acroas the street
Before Mrs Sackvllle's apartment
house stood a dignitary in a blue
uniform. Tacks hailed him.
"Listen. Fritz," he said, "will you
take this mutt up to my aunt's apart-
ment? I'm In ■ hurry I've got a girl
in a tascl acroas the street and
hey. whst on earth Is the matter

he said. "Only It won't be necessary "

thetlc, tragic figure or. mayhap, an
object of darlslon, alluded to by all
as the man who couldn’t make the
weight
while reviewing bls doom. Jumbo
became conscious of a delectable
aroma He glanced up and perceived
that be was passing a one-arm Joint
from whose Interior this enchanting
odor Issued He bounded forward
Thia must not be This was tempta-
tion or a terrible kind. But the bound
did little good He was walking in a
perfect maze of eating houses The
next thing he knew he stood race to
face with a gentleman who was flip-
ping pancakes In a restaurant win-
dow
i This time Jumbo's courage fulled
him He could not resist having a
look at the pancakes He edged close
to the window and eyed them as the
ravening pike eyes the minnow A
slightly Insane expression came to
rest upon his face He pressed his
nose against the glass and suffered.
Within, the pancake flipper, con-
scious of an audience, performed
miracles of Jugglery with pancakes
Sick at heart, Jumbo turned away.
Was any wotnaji worth such agony?
Assuredly to be mad with hunger was
hideous enough without having the
entire city of New York ganging him
with food And the end was not yet
There seemed no limit to tt. He had
not proceeded twenty feet before he
catne upon a cat who was concerned
with a fish head in the gutter
Fishy
Coming to a dead stop Jumbo star-
ed at the aniinfU- speechless Tills was
the final Irony When It transpired
that the beasts of the gutter might
dine regally on fish heads while the
scion of one of New York's better
families went about with an empty
stomach, things had got to a pretty
pass Jumbo bestowed such a glare of
mingled envy and disapproval upon
the cat that the feline snatched up
the fish head hastily and departed
Jumbo breathed easier He was glad
that fish head had gone The fish
head had tormented and maddened
him. But. with terrible clarity, he
recognized that he was not out of
the woods yet He had dispersed the
fish head magnificently, but he was
anatomist enough to realize that he
could not disperse his own stomach
And If something were not Introduc-
ed to that stomach In short order, he
would go stark staring mad Think-
ing carefully. Jumbo made up his
mind Food, ot course, was out of the
question But he remembered that
Luella West. In her discourses on
dietetics, had ascribed certain sus-
taining properties to alcohol Very
well He would test this theory
A combination bar and lunchroom
I loomed In the offing Jumbo's eyes I
i dilated And then he acted Emitting |
| a woofing sound he charged the
door The door gave.
The place was deserted save for a
lugubrious individual with a depress-
ed mustache who stood behind the
bar polishing glasses
"Scotch!" said Jumbo peremptori-
ly. marching up to the bar "Soda!’’
The bartender looked at him with
sad. watery eyes At the same mo-
j ment Jumbo noted a bowl of cheese
popcorn which reclined on the bar
He shied as a mustang shies at sight
of the prairie rattler
"What's the matter? ' Inquired the
bartender, starting He was a sensi-
tive soul, given to nerves
"N-nothlng," said Jumbo "Hurry
j up with that drink1
. J The bartender set the drink before
“jjy him Jumbo quaffed it st a gulp
Then, made affable by the burning
sensation in his throat, he took cog-
I nlzance of the bartender In a social
way
"Nice day ' he said conversational-
ly
The bartender looked as If he were
about to burst Into tears
"Oh. I don't know." he Intoned
monotonously. "It may rain "
Jumbo surprised his left hand In
I the act of sliding toward the cheese
popcorn He withdrew It hastily
"Nonsense." he said to the bar-
lender "Why. there Isn't a cloud In
the sky."
The bsrtender smiled superiorly
"Don’t let that tool you, he said.
Inmeasured accents "Things happen
when you least expect them."
"Yes?" said Jumbo. In the
of one who would hear more
"Like last winter," the bartender
said, "my sister Minnie goes out In
the morning Fine, clear day. It was
Almost like spring Well"—he paused
j and stared hard at Jumbo prepara-
] tory to coming through with the
pay-off—"the sleet come before night
and they brought her In on a
stretcher Slipped on the sidewalk.
i she did. and broke her ankle " The
bartender sighed profoundly. "You
never know "
"I—I guess." said Jumbo, shivering
I unaccountably despite the heat of
I the day. "I guess I’ll have another
— drink
"What," he exclaimed, in dismay,
"do you know about tbat?"
"And that,” concluded the door-
man. in tile tone of one who has set
out to make a point and intends to
make it, "la what I meant wtirn I
said that It wouldn't be necessary for
me to take this dog up to your aunt's
apartment.”
The Curse of Flesh
Jumbo Cutler was hurrying along
the street, gs a general rule, Mr
Cutler made it a practice never to
hurry. In the books of the gods it
was written that Jumbo Cutler was
a born saunterer Equipped with this
divine gift at the outset Jumbo, in
early youth, had Improved his status
by mastering the art of loitering
But geniuses are never satisfied. By
degrees and by rigid application he
had schooled hlmselt to loaf, trifle
and dillydally as well. In the course
of time he had also become no mean
dawdler And by early manhood he
exhibited such proficiency In these
allied fields that hla normal gait was
one that would have provoked titters
from a snail
Wherefore the sight of Mr Cutler
marching briskly along the byways
of New York was a noteworthy phe-
nomenon. But it was not one that
need have baffled scientists. Jumbo
walked swiftly because (st) he wish-
ed to reduce and (bl the street that
he had chosen for purposes of pere-
grination seemed to be lined with
nothing except restaurants, hash
houses and other emporiums special-
izing In the dispensation of food
Little Geraldine will now want to
know what food had to do with it
The answer Is. everything For to say
that Jumbo was hungry would be
gross understatement. Jumbo had
the hunger to end hungers His whole
being shrieked, seethed and vibrated
with an all-consuming desire for
food He was positive that, with prac-
tically no urging, he could have
sprinkled vinegar on the Pennsyl-
vania Station and eaten It raw The
red light of madness gleamed In hla i
eyes There was a weight on his soul
and a pang on his stomach And a |
girl was the cause ot It all
Ever since that bygone day when .
Van Harkness had discovered him .
trilling merrily on the electric horse.
Jumbo hsd been living on love. To
that athletic lady of hla dreams. Miss
Louella West, he had sworn an oath
to eliminate ten pounds ot solid flesh
'—i equipment With
lence he had gone
about the business of fulfilling this
mission. He had exercised until his j
rotund body screamed for mercy I
through a veritable sea of perspira-
tion He had eschewed alcohol rigid-
ly He had denied his aching atom- i
ach to the point of starvation. But .
for all his Herculean endeavors, he '
had been able to divest fils person
of but five miserable pounds
Jumbo simply couldn't understand
It It seemed to him that his system 1
possessed some devilish chemistry '
that manufactured flesh in record
time But Just at the moment, he
was not primarily concerned with ex-
planations. The thing that pricked
nls mind with red-hot needles was I
the fact that today was Frldi
tomorrow the game of North.
East and West would end
He could foresee exactly what was
going to happen On the morrow he
and Luella wpuld proceed to a cer- ;
tain drugstore and there on the
scales, would end his roseate dreams
, of a wife and fireside Luella. he 1
knew, was a girl of character She '
had set him a task and he had fail-
ed That settled It Luella would
never condone failure Already he '
could hear her saying "I'm sorry.
Cutler But you miss by five pounds.
It's no part of my plan to Journsy
