“Not until you let me go,” answer
ed the efficiency man.
“And then maybe—”
With a little cry of dismaj she dis
engaged her arms from his neck.
“Let me go!” she repeated.
“Temporarily or permanently?”
he asked with great deliberation.
“B-both!”
H. Hedge shook his head sadly.
“I never could do two things at
once,” he said. “It’s unscientific
even to try.” ,
“Please—please!”
“In that case, temporarily,” he de
clared, as he rciu-tantly withdrew
the arm that held her close.
Constance’s cheeks were fiery; she
prayed that the gloom of the back
stairs rendered all colors neutral.
“Thank you—for catching me,”
Out in the courtyard stood a road
ster, the engine idling wheezily.
Tommy Treadwell was standing be
side it, nervously tapping on a fend
er. His eyes lighted with happiness
as he sighted the furred figure of
Constance and he sprang forward of
assist with the grip.
“You dear old brick,” he cried.
“Morning, Tommy,” said Con
stance.
Tommy had seized the grip and
swung it up on the baggage carrier
in the read, where he bagan an ad
justment of the straps. Meantime,
Constance stepped in f.r.u settled her
self nervously in one of the bucket
seats.
The efficiency man arrived in the
courtyard while Tommy was still
working at the grip. As Constance
sighted him, she observed with a
sinking heart that he was clothed in
one of his ominous calms.
“Good morning,” he said, as he
walked across the open space.
Constance paled slightly and did
not answer. Tommy Treadwell
fumbled furiously at a starp and
said nothing.
Hedge reached the side of the car,
leaned over, pressed a button on the
dash and turned off the ignitibn. The
engine stopped.
“You let that car alone!” called
Tommy angrily.
“All right; 1 will,” said the effi
ciency man, stepping back a pace
and eyeing Constance.
Tommy finished with the grip and
came around to the side of the car.
“Well?” asked Hedge.
“Well?” echoed Tommy.
“What’s the idea?”
The elopers exchanged swift
glances and Tommy became embol
dened.
“Weil, if it’ll give you any satisfac
tion to know,” he announced, Con
nie and I are going to be married.”
“You surprise me,” said the effi
ciency man. “I thougt i we had con
cluded that matter last night.”
“You thought wrong. It’s all set
tled.” «
“True; it’s settled. Miss Brooke is
not going to marry you.”
Tommy flashed a dull red and
there was a fighting look in his eye.
“Are you, Miss Brooke? asked
Hedge.
Constance compressed her lips and
nodded. ,
“Which shows how error will pre
sist,” said the efficiency man, ap
parently talking to himself.
He stepped around to the rear of
the car, unloosed a strap with a deft
motion, and swung Constance’s grip
to the pavement.
“You may as well alight, Miss
Brooke,” he said.
Tommy Treadwell sprang forward
and confronted him across the grip.
“You’d betted keep out of this,”
he said grimly.
Tommy was quite a large young
man, fully as large as Billy Brooke.
He was taller than the efficiency
man, and wider. But H. Hedge did
not appear to be observant of Tom
my’s bulk just at that instant. Hs
was looking only at his eyes.
“I can’t keep out of it,” he said
simply. “It happens to be my duty
to stay in it. Go in the house, Miss
Brooke.”
Constance remained immovable in
her seat and maintained silence.
“You’re the one that’s going in the
house,” announced Tommy, clench
ing his fist. “And maybe they’ll
carry you in, if you don’t get out of

here in about ten seconds.”
“I’m sorry you feel that way about
it,” said Hedge.
“Well, if you’re sorry, beat it! if
you don’t there’ll be trouble.
The efficiency man spoke in a dep
recatory tone.
“I see that I’ve got to lick you,”
observed Tommy Treadwell, and
there was no reluctance in his voice
or manner.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to.”
Constance, who had listened to this
colloquy with her face averted, now
turned and bestowed a curious glance
upon the efficiency man. If she ex
pected to see his dark hair bristling
and his eyes snapping, she was dis
appointed. He looked exactly as he
always did in the library. She looked
at Tommy. He was bristling beauti
fully.
“Here goes,” said Tommy.
The efficiency man nodded.
Tommy Treadwell let fly with his
right arm, straight from the shoul
der. Hedge did not have his hands
up, but somehow the blow missed,
him entirely. Perhaps it was a case
of Providence, or perhaps it was be
cause he flirted his head a few inches
to the right, accidentally. In any
event, it missed him clean, and
Tommy fell over the grip.
He arose, chagrined and mad clear
through. This time he came in
swinging. Just what the efficiency
man did it is difficult to say, for he
did not appear to be doing anything
except failing to get hit. He had his
hands up, but he was not using them

on Tommy. He was dodging punch
es, stopping punches, diverting
‘ punches, but he was contenting him
; self with that. His face wore a
| thoughtful look. He was not giving
! ground, but at the same time he
seemed to be engaged in a purely
negative way.
It went thus for some minutes,
and finally the efficiency man began
to speak.
I “I do not know,” he said, as a left
swing passed over his head, “where
you studied the art of boxing. But
there is no doubt that you wast a
;tremendous amount of effort. You
|do not box efficiently. In the first
I place, you should not swing at all.
It causes the fist to travel in an arc
rather than in the shortest way. Ob
| serve—you missed me gaain.”
Tommy, indeed, had, and nearly
lost his blance. , ,
“Futhermore,” added 11. Hedge,
as he side-stepped a fresh volley,
“when you use the straight blow,
you start it too low and too far back.
I You ar e prodigal with muscular es
; fort, for which you do not obtain
sufficient return, save in the form of
| exercise. Observe again. You should
Ir ot start an uppercut from the
ground; it takes too long. Don’t
start it below the waist.”
Tommy, breathing not in gasps,
charged again.
Your footwork is bad,” continu
ed the efficiency man. “You travel a
great distance, but you do not ar
rive. I don’t wish to be rude, but it
is my duty to say that you are
clumsy. You are mastodonic, it is
true; but the masteodon is an extince
animal. Why be extinct?”
Tommy was missing more obvious
ly than ever. He was tired.
‘Now, if I can, let me illustrate an
efficient blow,” said H. Hedge. “The
II truly effecient blow is conceived wih
deliberate purpose and executed with
due economy. It travels the short
est possible distance and, theoretical
ly, carries with it the exact amout of
necessary power. It may be deliver
ed with either hand. In this case, we
will assume that it is to be delivered
with the left. Thus!”
•The quick eye of Constance Brooke
noted a fleeting and surprising
change in the face of the efficiency
man. It had been impassive until
now. But as he said “thus,” his jaw
tightened, and his forehead construct
ed in a scowl that frightened her
His fist came from nowhere, but it

ifollowing it. Tommy Treadwell, al
lready wabbling from his own efforts,
turned half-way around, staggered,
1 and fell fiat, on his fate.
| Constance uttered a cry and eov
j ered her eyes.
For an instant Tommy groped at
the pavement; then began to arise
uncertainly.
“Don’t make me do it again," said
the efficiency man in a changed
voice. “You haven't a chance."
Tommy, however, was not satis
fied. He wheeled as he reached an
! erect position and closed in. So H.
i fledge, again with the sudden scowl
! on his face, did it once more.
I This time Tommy was longer in
■arising, and when he did it was to sit
■ on the running-board of the car and
i rest his head in b.is hands
i “Now, if you please, Miss Brooke
said Hedge quietly, as he picked up
her grip.
Constance, still averting her eyes,
| suddenly sprang from the car and
j dashed into the house, where she
Iran madly upstairs, half choked with
'hysterical sobs. The efficiency man
looked at the crest-fallen knight on
I the running-board and shook his
(head slowly.
i “Sorry if I hurt you, old man,” he
said. "But, really, you mustn’t try
'to marry Miss Brooke.”
Phen he, too, disappeared into the
' house.

“LASSES” HAS
GREAT MINSTREL
They came and they proved that
all newspaper critics are not fair
I minded, for if ever a show was pan
med by a newspaper, Lasses White
| was that show.
i We had read in one of the Geor
i gia dailies criticism of Lasses and
i his boys that was not at - all compli
mentary. We rather expected a
punk show but were very agreeably
surprised.
Lasses White and his minstrels
without a doubt have one of the
greatest shows of its kind that it has
ever been our privilege to review!
And we were not the only*ones to
think so as the crowded house at the
Rylander last night proved their ap
proval and appreciation of the en
tertainment .by continued applause.
Lasses White is always good him
sel, so is Billy Doss but seem bet
ter this year than ever before and
:.nd with them we must mention a
few others in order that credit for
the entertainment go to those who
so well deserved it.
Slim Vermont, is good and his ef
forts last night were perhaps bet
ter received than those of any other
member of the company. Nor can
we forget our friend “Mobile” Ben
McAtee, with his song “Mister Frog'
He too was well received. Morris
Nelson with his yodeling solo “Moun
tain Sweetheart” proved ahit.
The Ukelele specialty with Tom
my Boone handling the music box in
true Ike Edward’s style proved the
biggest applause getter of the show.
He certainly handled the ukulele
and his spevialty deserves place on
in the evening’s performance.
It was all good, the music under
the direction of James Finning and
the Jazzy Orchestra, which fulfilled
its name.
Lasses White and Will Spaeth,
general manager of the show are to
be congratulated on their 1925 show
of the quality. Every ingredient
is tested for purity and strength.
