The following day .limp and
Pearl were up bright and daily,
tt’ght after breakfast they chased
over to the drug atom to bay some
postcard.-.
Jimp sent one to Pearl’s fath
er, saying, “Having a fine time.
Glad you are not here."
This dons the sillly young hus
band and hi-: sensible young wife
deemed it time to start for the
North pole.
Their private ah plane xrc.: sum
m ned. Pearl started to climb
aboard, "Wait!" cried Jimp.
“Wait for what ?’’ asked hi:;
adorable bride.
Jimp ruui thought or nomethtng.
He remembered the last time they
limbed into the plane- and dis
covered they couldn't rit down of.
ter riding upon the -donkeys.

bearded the plane.
‘■'North Pole, ' raid Jimp to the
| chauffer.
“Yes, sir,” said the chauffer.
•North Pole, sir.” Away they
flew.
It wr.s afternoon. The plane was
flybvg low over Canada. “Another
plane on the starboard side sir.’’
shouted the chauffer over his
shoulder.
S Jimp got out his glasses. He
| gave Pearl a short drink r.rij took
lone himself.
"Whr.t did you ray?” he asked
i the chauffer.
“Another plane on the starboard
side, or maybe it’s the portable,
sir,’’ called the chauffer.
Yes, there was the plane. It
was growing larger every mom
ent. Before long it was full grown.
'Jimp could make out a sign on
i its side which read, “North Pole
Special.”
“It’s going to the North Pole,
too, shouted Jimp.
“Yes, sir,” replied the chauffer.
"The place is very popular this
summer. We’ll speed up and get
there first.”
The race was a lively one, but
gradually Jimp’s plane drew away
from the North Pole Special.
About four o’clock the pole was
sighted. The plane circled and
landed. ‘‘That’ll be nil for today.”
said Jimp as he and his sweet
young wife got out. “Call for us
early tomorrow.”
The plane circled and flew
away. Jimp and Pearl looked about
them. The only person in sight
was an Eskimo sitting on top of
the North Pole eating blubber.
Before they could speak to
him, the North Pole Special arriv
ed. Three passengers hepped out.
The Eskimo hopped in and away it
flew. •
“Let’s look a* the new arrivals,’
suggested Pearl.
Drawirrr closer^' the young cou
ple were flabbergasted. Who,
among all persons, should they
meet at the North Pole hut Mr.
Handle, Detective and Mrs. Gum
shoe.
Without wasting any time,
Pearl's old man started in to
rave. “You young scoundrel,” rav
ed he. “What did you mean by
kicking me into the Grand Can
yon?’’
“I didn't mean for you to land
upon your head and be uninjured,’
said Jimp calmly, casting his eye
about for a weapon. He saw the
North Pole was too large to han
dle.
“I wish I had my gun with me,”
cried. Handle.
“You haven’t your gun?’’ said
Jimp And saying which he took
out after Pearl's father. Round
and round the north pole they went
getting hotter and hotter all the
time.
Before anyone realized what
was happening, they got so hot
they melted the ice. All five fell
into the water. The North Pole
went down.
And the chapter ended, leaving
them swimming about.
