Be sides walking backwards so they ci i see where they were, their chief is named ‘T'mpah" after one irf the horns in the orchestra. ’ Chief Cmpah's son is named “Tiddlebum.” Due to bad en vironment, Tiddlebum plays on the piano. When the chief hears of this he is heart-broken. In a trem bling voice he says. "I should have sent Tiddlebum to boarding , school.” * This, however, while very In teresting, has nothing to do with ■» the present story, whirh is about something else. In -the story r ‘ hand. JIMP SON WEED marries PEARL * HANDLE and they start on t-'elr * honeymoon. PEARL'S old man objects to the match and tries * to sdtoot JIMP. The honeymoon* ts are in * GREENWICH VILLAGE.

"I shot the bum,” giggled she. “And I’ll kill j any man who does what he did.” She i •was *1080111. “What did the hum do?” questlor *.ed the chief. Accustomed as he was ,to dealing with criminals, he knew 4Peurl was not a girl to kill men '•pimply for 4ie thrill of the killing. *, “He offered me n'drink of syntheth gin.” Pearl’s voice was calm. Sha (mow she was in the right. “Very well,” said the chief. “The .jfellaw needed killing.” And saying ’ which he departed. The following day Jimp and Pearl awoke, as whs their custom. \. “Let's go to Coney Island,” sug , jger-ted Jimp, stretching himself. * “Let’s do, laughed Pearl, stretching herself. , -s * * ■ * The Hindus have a quaint way of * Baying, “There’s no fool like an ok jfool because the young ones haven’t .had enough experience.” %- * * * l ' (’limbing out of the subway, which * Is about fifty feet up in the air at V this point, the young husband and ht.-. , laughirg bjide pushed their way though the gay crowds of sloppy j, Rooking people. “Let’s eat some hot dogs and g<. * piding on a roller coaster,” snickered i jimp, who had never done it before. * “Let's go riding- on the roller coast first, and then consume some hot 4ogs,” smiled Pearl. *e* It was a timely suggestion.

Jimp arm t J’earl started for the beach. It was * a funny story and they should see J pinny humorous sights upon the beach » at Coney Island. Jjf “Hah!” cried a voice behind them , }t was atom and foreboding, ' “What do you mean halt?" asked Jjimp, turning around and seeing ►'^Western Union messenger boy, and J Slso a Poetal messenger hoy—because tUUlis story is fair to both sides. f*. “We said ‘halt’ because we have JJjolcgrams for you." smiled the iwo 4 jnessenger boys. “We’ve Iuh-u hunt J Jng you all day long.’’ 1 * Hastily, Jimp opened the {^'grafts. * fie frowned as he read the contents. | * “Heck,” exclaimed he, because th >%ord “hell” isn’t being used in this *£fereat novel.

She was his wife and wanl * ?d her share of their mutual troubles. | s “Stead them yourself,” sail Jimp, fitting down in the sand. It was ^Aijite evident that the wires held bad '*^iews. Pearl grasped one of the w ires and r tread aloud. “This is a nice mess,” * said the wire. “Stop comma you are vetill in New York stop you are a .

This, indeed, was terrible. It was almost dinner time. Jimp anti Pearl hadn't eaten a thing since lunch, ex cept a few barbecue . andwiches, and some popcorn, and sen - pretzels, and two steaks. That’s all the unfortunates had eat en since noon. And here it was almost dinner. The situation was serious, very serious. No food. No matches. No guide. That was the situation in a nutshell and in Mammeuth Cave. The mouth of the cave buzzed wit u activity. ‘‘Jimp and Pearl are in there, lost!" exclaimed excited spec tators.

Soon there was a fine dust around his feet, lie couldn't see it in the dark ties.-, but he could feel it. "Here," said he to Pearl, handing her some of the powder. “Put this upon your shiny nose." Pearl did so. "Ah,” sighed she, “Now I can die. Jimp, you have in deed been a great comfort in my last hours.” Stretching out upon the cold damp ground, Pearl and Jimp crossed their arms and awaited float h. (Don’t worry, reader.
