(Oh, cruel world; how canst thou be eo heartiess?—Pinklespeare,) Thelma heard the church bells * tolling. How it reminded the Uttle Kitchikik girl of her child- hood! Stepping up to the church, weary and heartsore,she knocked on the door. A man appeared. “You are not going to turn me away?” she asked. There was a peculiar noise + coming from inside. It was the + vestry putting on their vests. “There are no vacant pews.” Thelma turned and ran six blocks, She did not wish to ap- _ pear conceited. She stopped as a little flower girl approached. “Posies?” asked the child. How odd! Thelma looked at her. Then picked her up and kissed her. “You are my sister's child,” * Said Thelma. “Not at all,” sald a man’s voice coming from around the statue - ofa rough guy. “The child is in London.” * | There was no use arguing. She ~ had recognized the voice as that ~ of Benjamin Hur. Why should "he trail her in this fashion? And wotell did he know about Lon- don? It was indeed mysterious. — A hueks' stepped up and spoke of Huck Finn. Instantly the story came to Thelma’s mini. “I wrote ‘Huck Finn,’” said the man. Thelma knew he was misin- formed, but she did not wish to show her hand. “and did Huck reply?” she asked. A man peeked around a corner. He was Rattlesnake Pete, a brother of Mexican Pete. » And to think—Thelma had met him in the butcher shop back in Kitchikik! (To Be Continued.) ot Ah ey neha [Perea WE NEED THAT MEAL.

If you don't believe it, read this letter: “Dear Dud—What price do you want for the dramatic rights to ‘Thelma the Vamp? Also pl make no deal for book rigats or mo- tion picture rights until you hear from me again. You have hit upon a million dollar proposition, full of firey. I want Margot Kelly to play the title role because of her red hair. I am negotiating with Ernest ‘Truex to play Count De Peewee and I want to cast William Farnum as Benjamin Hur. How soon can you finish the manuscript, so we can put it in rehearsal? It should be a knockout if the actors don’t get knocked on the head.—Will A.
