very dear friend is trying to be
funny. He's going to be laughing
on the other side of his mouth, when
I get my hands on him, but in the
meantime "
"Maybe so, but "
"Am I not telling the truth, Gin
ger darling?"
Ginger gulped, then thought of
Miami. v
"That's right officer. We're going
to Miami to be married reaHy we
are. She put on her most appeal
ing look. "Please don't be an old
meanie, Officer and spoil our
plans!"
"If that's true," said the officer,
"why don't you two get married,
and drive down there like respect
able folks?"
Tony and Ginger looked at each
other, taken aback.
"But our friends are waiting
there for the wedding," said Ginger,
faintly. "Our relatives "
"Sure," said Tony. "My father
is down there right now, in Palm
Beach."
The officer stroked his stubble,
and spat reflectively.
"If it wasn't for that New York
alarm, I might say 'go ahead.' But
it's official, and the Law's the Law.
Tell you what I'll do though; and I
know the Judge '11 agree with me,
he's my brother-in-law. Come on
over to his office and get married
like decent folks and we'll let you
go on, and forget we ever saw you.
If anyone else stops you you'll
have your marriage certificate."
The two were stunned. The look
they exchanged was so full of un
willingness and consternation that
the immediate arbiter of their des
tinies was immediately suspicious.
He was the type of man who had
been born suspicious, anyways. His
jaw hardened, as he remembered
that it was up to him to uphold the
moral tone and dignity of his com
munity. "What's it to be?" he asked, cold
ly. "A honeymoon, or a stretch in
the jug?"
Ginger opened her mouth and
shut it again.
"Under the circumstances," said
Tony grinning weakly, "I think this
young lady will have to make an
honest man of me now, instead of
waiting until we get to Florida. But
if our union goes on the rocks, of
ficer, the blame rests upon your
commonwealth's head. You know
what they say about jumping into
matrimony"
"Let's get going," said the Law
shortly. And started his motor
cycle. Tony followed suit.
They started off down the road,
the motorcycle just behind.
"Why did you do that?" asked
Ginger.
"What else was there to do?"
"But marriage! He wasn't
joking."
"He wasn't joking about jail,
either, And you have to get to
Miami by Monday, don't you?"
Sacfs up and Rave!
"That's a job but getting mar
ried" "I'm sorry I'm not the millionaire
you're looking forward to, for a
husband," said Tony. "But don't
worry well just get a Florida
divorce, that's all. You can get one
in ninety days down there. For
desertion, non-support, cruelty-
why not cruelty? You can say I eat
crackers in bed and don't like your
hate."
She refused to be amused.
"I'm not thinking of myself,
Tony. I'm thinking of you. It's
sweet of you to want to do this for
me, but I can't let you sac
He gave her a wry look.
"Don't start knitting me a laurel
wreath, my girl I'm not as noble
as you think. If we don't do this,
we're in a jam, and we're bound to
get into the papers particularly if
those cops after the diamond
thieves catch up to us while we're
held in the bastile. After getting
thrown out of college on my ear.
I'm not anxious to make my Dad
any angrier at me than he already
is." He grinned. "Anyway, you
ought to be glad of this opportu
nity? What chance has a girl got
for a career nowadays, without a
divorce or two behind her?"
Ginger thought of many things,
in kaleidoscopic succession, and all
of them were definitely upsetting
"It's all Ronny's fault!" she said
bitterly. "Oh, how I hate men!"
"Since when is a crooner a
man?" Tony asked innocently, and
chuckled. "Think of Rockaby's face
when he hears about this!"
Unwillingly, she smiled despite
herself, at the thought. Her smile
grew wry.
"When I answered your share-
expense ad, I didn't expect I was
going to share your name, too,
before the trip was over!"
"Gas and oil, and now my name,"
he observed. I really ought to
charge you extra."
Gmger flushed. She had never in
her wildest dreams imagined being
married this way. She said so.
"That's nothing," said Tony Hay-
lor. "I never in my wildest dreams
thought I'd be married at all."
Neither said anything more. They
were both sober as a pair of con
demned criminals walking the last
mile as the bus drew up at last
before the little office with the sign
"Justice of the Peace" upon its
window.
Ginger Drake and Tony Taylor
were married in the dingy little
office of the Justice of the Peace,
with the letter's , wife, and her
brother, who had arrested them, as
witnesses. Casanova, the cat, was
also an interested spectator.
They made an attractive, if none
too enthusiastic-looking, couple.
Tony placed his class ring upon
Ginger's proper finger, and before
either of them quite realized it, the
ceremony was over.
"Now pronounce you man and
wife," said the Justice, and looked

Tony paid him, and reflected that
the exchequer was that much lower.
He did not kiss the bride.
Their droopey-mustached Cuid

groom.
You're going to thank me for
this some day," he told Tony earn
estly.,
"I thank you, and my wife thanks
you, and our whole darned family

"By the way, I wish you A tell the

spoiled by having to have another

"Don't 'worry, it's legal now,"
said the other, "You can cross all

"Thank you so much," said Tony.
"Thank you so very much," added
Ginger.

aGee "whiz, Mc Jessup,
a DOUBLE-DECKER !
J I Sy?
You can see and smile at Billy's nickel
double-decker. But there's another kind
of double-decker you can't see though
you enjoy it every month.
It's in your electric bill the fact that
ike average price of household electricity
is about half of what it was 1 5 years ago,
"Wait a minute!'' you say. the rates
kave been reduced that much, why hasn't
as bill been cut in half?" ,
The answer is, of course, that you use
more electricity than you used to. While
the price was going down, you were
adding useful new electric appliances.
Right now, for a nickel a day, about
A of all American families light their
homes, play their radios, run their
vacuum cleaners.
For two nickels a day, about of
all American families operate lights,
radio, cleaner, toaster, percolator, clocks
and washer.
That makes the electric nickel just
about the world's biggest double-decker!
How was it done? By good business
management of the nation's electric com
panies. By the same planned production
of power that is turning the wheels that
turn out the guns to keep America free!
