No Mam** Address Animal Friendship 1 Among the strangest cases of animal friendship known is that existing in the London zoo be tween a West African chameleon and a green-tree viper, both of wh’ch are about a foot long. Most of the time the snake is curled up on the back of the chameleon. One of the most vexing questions facing women shoppers every Christmas is: What shall I get for him? The perfect solution for ev ery male is quite a problem—but so far tills seems like a perfect choice. If he’s a cigarette smoker, give him a carton of cigarettes. And if you wisely choose Camels —he’ll be twice as grateful—for that’s probably his own brand. All over America—more people are smoking Camels than ever before!

S AVAGELY, old Adam Courtney twisted his cigar-yellowed mous tache. From the parlor sofa, the muffled sobs of Diana, his shapely and lovely young daughter, ex pressed an unshakable defiance. He glared at her with all the anger a deep love would permit. “I—I AM going to marry Jim Bailey," she chanted monotonously. “I don’t care if he HASN’T got the money he ought to have to start in business. I don’t care if he HAS only — three thousand Instead of six." The slender legs kicked hys terically. A slipper flew across the room. “I LOVE him, doggone him! I LOVE himl" Grimly, Adam Courtney went for his hat and his heavy cane. Grimly he left the house. He knew where to find Jim Bailey. Barred from calling on Diana, he would be waiting at the club—the big social and athletic club—for her to join him for the dance tonight. In the old days on the West Coast, he thought angrily, a matter such as this might have been settled with a .45. Now business and money and con vention had over taken him — after his marriage, late in life. Diana was all he had, since the young wife he adored had died in childbirth. Ever since that day, his only child had been his only interest, taking the place of her mother before her. Never before this had she defied him, turned from his love to the love of someone else. As things stood to night, however, he had lost her—un less somehow he could hold her back. Purely this called for desperate measures. As he stalked into the club, he spied the ruddy, muscular young object of his quest. In tha blpck and white of dinner clothes, Jim Bailey sat watching a game in the busy card room. Jim rose, and the table fell silent, as the grim old man came up. "Jim Bailey.” Adam Courtney ■thundered, “are you man enough to take a gamble?” Jim Bailey simply stared. “I understand you have three thousand in the savings bank,” old Courtney said. "I’ll put up two dol lars to every one of yours. Give you two to one on every bet. Six thous and to three thousand, table stakes. If you lose—you will agree to leave my daughter alone.” "And what if I win?” asked Jim Bailey. "Win?" Adam Courtney’s bony face paled. “Win—you marry her, sir, of course.” Jim Bailey hesitated, and the whole room stopped breathing. Ev erybody understood the struggle that had been going on between him and Diana, on the one hand, and Diana's father on the other. Under ordinary circumstances, no one would expect him to agree to risk losing his money and his hope of future happiness on the turn of a card. But suddenly it had dawned on everybody that this situation was not ordinary. Only two weeks before, the old man had caned a newspaper editor who had intimated that Adam Court ney, in the old days on the Coast, had been a professional gambler. No one believed a word of the accu sation. But now, to refuse publicly to play would tell the world you be lieved what the editor had written, and were afraid of being rooked. Jim Bailey wet his lips. "Do you want to play with chips, sir, or cash?—but even money!” PS* THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. looked at his cards. Without hesita tion, he pushed an equal amount forward. Then each drew cards. Jim Bailey held up three cards and drew two. Adam Courtney asked fdr but one. The old man looked at the card. Quickly he pushed forward his whole remaining pile. 'T'HE spectators glanced at one an- -*■ other. Some thought they had glimpsed the two hands. To start with, as they afterward explained, Jim Bailey had held three aces, Adam Courtney three kings. On the draw it seemed that Jim, with three aces pat, had caught two queens. Thus he had the highest possible full-house on this deal. But the old man had caught another king, and held four—the winning hand. Would Jim Bailey put up his whole Make Extra Gifts By Baking Goodies In Home Kitchens The money in Jim’a hand told her the rest. The grim old man ignored her. She ran to her father, "Cash!" said Adam Courtney grimly. Next evening, each bearing his stake of three thousand dollars, they took their seats in the card room. “Draw poker," announced Adam Courtney, tearing open the pack. “Table stakes. And," he leaned across the table and looked Jim Bailey in the eye, "a gentleman's agreement!” "Okay," Jim BaUey said. “Will you cut, sir?” Open gambling was not permitted in the club. But what employee would dare stop this? Like wildfire the news spread. Members hurried in just in time to see the old man lose five hundred dollars on a full house, against Jim Bailey's four tens. At first, luck seemed to favor Jim BaUey. But presently the calm, grim old man began to win. Then the old man lost three large bets. The stacks of money stood about even again—each three thou sand doUars. Jim BaUey dealt. Adam Courtney looked at his cards. He counted out five hundred doUars.

If he did, the game was over. He would, lose his money, and Diana, too. Jim Bailey’s hand shook as he riffled his remaining pile. Since the old man hardly had held four-of-a- kind to start with, and had drawn but one card, the odds were forty to one against his now having four-of- a-kind or better. Suddenly, his face no longer ruddy, Jim BaUey pushed his whole pile forward. “1 caU, sir,” he said. He spread out his hand. "I’ve got a fuU-house— aces over queens.” Then occurred one of those dis turbing interruptions which explain the new screens at the card room door. There was a cry and a com motion. and Diana, Adam Court ney’s daughter, appeared in the doorway, staring in at the players. She was dressed to go to the dance. Her hair was arranged in the style of twenty years ago. In a white satin dress which had be longed to her mother, she looked (as an elderly member said) the spit ting image of Adam Courtney’s dead wife. Old Adam Courtney glanced up, stared, as at a ghost. Heaven only knows what memory — perhaps of his and his wife’s glowing early hap piness—passed through his mind. He drew a deep, slow breath. His cane dropped and clattered. His white head disappeared beneath the table as he retrieved the cane from the floor. This distraction lasted but a mo ment. Then Adam Courtney sat up and faced Jim BaUey. Leaning awk wardly forward, his left hand heavy on the table, the old man turned his own cards up, one by one. THE KING OF MAMONDS. "OneI” the crowd breathed. THE KING OF HEARTS. "Two!” the crowd whispered. THE KING OF CLUBS. "Three!” the crowd mur mured. Then he turned — THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS. It was his last card. Not only had he faUed to catch the king of spades on the draw, ap parently he had drawn but one card, when he should have drawn two. He held only four cards, a worthless hand. The grim old man had lost! Jim BaUey had won, not only the old man’s three thousand, but his daughter. Jim BaUey gathered in aU the money. He stood up, holding it in his hand. Everyone watched Adam Courtney’s daughter as Jim BaUey crossed to where she stood framed in the doorway. She touched Jim’s arm—and hesi tated. Of course she had been told what was up. The money in Jim’s hand told her the rest. She ran to her father. The grim old man ig nored her. She put her arm around him and kissed him fuU on the yel low stain in his white moustache. He stiU ignored her. She turned and ran back to Jim. Hand in hand, the two young peo ple left the club. Their motor roared away, seemingly with a triumphant note that spoke of money enough for a business, and for marriage, and independence. Old Adam Courtney sat staring at his bony left hand flat on the table. For a moment his shoulders seemed to sag. Then he straightened, and tilted a quizzical, twinkling look up at the circle of staring faces. "I knew what she was wishing,” he said. "I’m an old fool, I expect.” He lifted his left hand. There be neath it, face up on the table, la; the missing king of spades. Cookies make a wonderful holi day gift! Wrapped as glamorous ly as these, they’U solve many a last-minute gift dUemma.
