growing prison population points to
the probability that in the near Iu*

Investigation commission or some
similar agency, to enable it to keep
up with its docket. Perhaps a third
of the 4,003 convicts now in prison

with Napoleon O'Hara.
Now, prancing past iht captain,
he smiled proudly. “Howm I
doin’. Captain?" And Captain
Boyer grffroed good-naturedly.
"Finer he assured him.
But enough is enough. Joyce
decided. The perspiration was
forming in tiny beads on her fore-
head, and her feet could stand no
more, yet her partner showed no
indication of giving up. ?
*T think I’ll have to stop,” she
protested finally. "Itb so very

"Nonsense!” protested the gen-
tleman. tightening his ho id about
her waist. “We’re just beginning
to step. Beautiful. 8ay, can you
do the Big Apple?”
“No. I’m sorry—” *■ *’
"What? AH the young people
are doing the Big Apple. It goes
like this. . . "
In scans devious fashion he,{be-
gan to limber his knees, to bend
them this way and that, looking
for all the world like a toy bal-
loon on a fork. . .....
Over his ehouldfer, Joyce cast
an appealing glance toward Mr.
Gregory, sitting expressionless at
their table. But whether he un-
derstood the signal or not, he
made no move to help her out
of the situation.
Now they were indeed becom-
ing ridiculous, yet Joyce only ag-
gravated the matter by attempt-
ing to free herself. "Ill look like
a fool,’1 she thought. "If I try to

“Haw’re we doing, beautiful?
Not $6 bad for an or guy, am I?”
In between his casual remarks,
his lusty voice would now and
then be raised exurberantly, in
tune and out of tune, to the or-
chestra's selection.
After the first few steps, Joyce
forgot to worry about him. Let
him have h|s fun, she thought,
with a bit of Aunt Martha's phi-
losophy. After all, he doesn’t have
much chance, not with OH Pickle-
Puss always behind him. . . .
The whistle sounded once more,
and the dancers fell Into a line
of march. ..But not Mi. O'Hara.
"Think I’m going to change
paitners now?” he demanded. “No,
sir-e-e-e!” j I
So they kept up a little dance
of their own, a d.rnce which was
a bit. of a two-step, and some-
thing of a 1 ox-trot, and not at aU
unlike an Alabama cake-wilk.
And the ethers who danced turned
to look at them, and those who
sat at.nearby tables laughed ap-
preciatively, and Joyce laughed
too because—well, what of it?
