By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) B Washington, July 22—Few if any 1 goats have ever risen to the interna- Honal renown of the goat William Hamilton Bones. Perhaps that is be- th cause Washington who have contrived the fame of Wil- iiam Hamilton Bones, would rather write about a goat any day than about G 2 politician. Although, if the capital | were full of goats, one might also eventually weary of writing about 4 goats.

His grin widened, and he nodded. “Room for the four of us in my car!” Tony cried. “Let's make a dash for it. It’s not far. Hurry!” Colin, beside Crystal in the rumble seat, leaned forward and touched Sandy on the shoulder. “I take it that your important business is at City Hall, but not with the mayor?” “Right!” Sandy agreed, his eyes upon Tony's lovely profile. “Then we'll make it double, won't we, Crystal?” Colin shouted, hugging the girl close in sublime disregard of the hundreds of rejoicers who had to scurry out of the car's path. “Guess ir can grab a phone at the license | bureau to break the news to The | Press, and then—on our way, Crys- tal. “On our way,” Crystal repeated, her . | voice breaking on a sob of pure joy. ‘The reporter ty.. “God knows that’s enough, Mr. Oe (SAE ae: THE END | (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.)
