The girl is “doomed.” Dan noncha- lantly drifts into her department some day and asks if she don’t like to dance. A smile goes around the department. The girl says “yes.” Then Dan remarks casually: «“1'd like to have you drop around to Slattery’s hall next Wednesday night.” “Nobody to go with.” i “Oh, I'll take you! " The man Dan has chosen is there. Dan introduces them and leaves. The following Sunday he invites them to visit him at the “lodge,” a romantic log shack in San Geronimo, in lovely Marin county.

OWNER PROUD OF GOLDFISH — Seve teen Years Old Is “Old Black Joe,” and Does Almost Every- thing but Speak. Old Black Joe is a goldfish. He’s never been sick a day in 17 years. He is neither gray nor bald, and he can swim and nibble with thg best of them. This information was supplied by 0. Gneiding, an exhibitor at the goldfish show at the Aquarium, New York. Gneiding owns Joe, and no father was ever more proud of his youthful prodigy than Gneiding is | of Joe. Joe, according to its owner, does everything but speak, and he does the equivalent of that if you place yourself in sympathetic har- mony with him if you know what that means. But Joe was not the whole show. There were lion-headed fish, comet fish and telescope fish. Long lines| of spectators surrounded the tanks. The exhibition was held under the auspices of the Aquarium society of | New York to stimulate interest in | the breeding of goldfish. SEE The Mystic Maze of Chinatown. The Bloody Wars of the Tongs.
