THE THRESHER
HOUSTON, TEXAS
COLD FEET
THIRD
INSTALLMENT
SYNOPSIS: Revenge!
(All readers above the age of five
and below that of fifty may read pre-
ceding installments.)
Geruldine Fitzgerald and Gerald
Fitzgeraldine walked down the fire
escape. Believe it or not they were
waiting for a street car. She laid
down on the roof—and pulled off her
clothes.
"Up to your old tricks again?" yell-
ed Pat.
"No, only to the answered
Alike. Pat and Mike joke No. 432587.
So they went dowu the fire escape.
By this time they were down the
fire escape.
Believe it or not
An<#they went down the fire escape.
Geraldine threw away the cigarette
she lit in the first installment. "Hot.
ain't it?" she asked.
By this time Barr had gotten the
dark lady down to a dollar and half—
for his laundry.
Up on the roof, Pat took off his
shoos. He wasn't quite as fast as Ger-
aldine.
With her clothes off she looked just
divine. Her neck and throat were
bare. They were voluptuous, inviting
-her neck and throat.
Pal's passion was aroused—it got
up and walked around the roof.
There was a dimple at the knee.
It was a small dimple though, and
not much to look at. So he looked at
her feet again,
Geraldine got up, walked over to
Pat, and with a winding motion, made
as if she were winding him up.
"t3i>t going, Pat!" she cooed.
So Pat walked down the fire escape
to wait for a street car.
Geraldine slid down the fire escape
in lier leather necktie which she had
donned on the roof, singing "Fireman,
Save My Child!"
She fell in Pat's lap.
"Kiither ticklish situation, isn't it?"
queried Pat demurely.
"Oh does it tickle?" she asked coyly.
"Yes." he dimpled.
"What tickl —" we haven't the
heart.
"My feet are cold," she murmured.
"Put my hat over them."
Pat was left no alternative, not even
a B V U.
So he pulled off her overcoat and
wrapped it tenderly about her dear
little feet. They were pretty feet,
every one of ten toes and even ten
toenails to hoot. The toenail on the
left foot, three from the end, was a
little long, but there wasn't any dirt
beneath its silvery whiteness. Pat
looked at them long and closely. An-
gels go In when fools fear—etc.. etc.
etc.
Pat was a fool, So say we all, amen.
Geraldine sat there In an awful state
and Pat's lap. Pat sat, his lap under
Geraldine, etc., etc., etc. The etc.'s
were censored.
Pat's fingers itched. He scratched
them. Just then Barr came up, gave
one look, and went back to the dark
lady to get his money back, Oh yes,
for the laundry.
Pat couldn't stand it much longer-
pardon, couldn't sit it out. So he stood
up. tenderly dumping Geraldine down
the fire escape to wait for the street
car.
When she reached the ground she
had Barthelme's collar on. She
took that off. She had a habit, taking
things off. The judge told her once
if she took many more things off the
drug store counters she would get
sent up.
Pat's passion was a little weak
around the lamp-posts from the great
strain Geraldine had been in while in
his arms.
He loved her, and loved her truly,
and her toes, etc., etc., etc. So he laid
her down in the middle of the street
ear tracks. Geraldine's life was one of
ups and downs, either she was up, but
she was mostly down. Bad as the
laundry lady of Barr'a acquaintance.
After ten thousand words and three
hundred starts, Pat finally had Gerald-
ine where he wanted her.
On the street car.

When it's a rainy
night—and with three crafty
bridge players your luck
is running wild
—have a Cafnel!
£ J. -
WHEN the dark skies are
pouring rain outside.
And fickle fate deals you
hands at bridge that you
play with consummate
skill—have a Camel!
For Camel is the silent
partner that helps every
deserving player win his
game. Camels never hurt
or tire the taste, never
leave a trace of cigaretty
after-taste. Regardless of
the gold you spend,
you'll never get choicer
tobaccos than those
rolled into Camels.
So this evening as you
ply your unerring skill,
evoke then the mellow-
est fragrance that ever
came from a cigarette.
Have a Camell
Camels represent the utmost in cigarette quality. The
choicest of Turkish and Domestic tobaccos are blended into
Camels by master blenders and the finest of French cigarette
paper is made especially for them. Into this one brand is
concentrated all of the knowledge, all of the skill of the
world's largest organization of expert tobacco men.
C m«
Out highest with, if you
do not yet know Camel
quality, it that you try
them. We invite you to
compare Camelt with
any cigarette made at
any price.
