Men Liked Jean
By COSMO HAMILTON
©. by McChiro Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
MEN Invariably turned to look at
.lean Moffet as they passed
through the big outer office to the par
titioned rooms of the various execu
tives. .lean was, indeed, an altogether
delightful bit of scenery.
Today, as her fingers rattled over
the typewriter keys, her eyes con
stantly sought tlie clock. She wanted
to be sure of finishing her work early:
Hud Randal! had phoned and asked
her to meet him for lunch.
As they smoked over their coffee
I’.ud became oddly silent and fidgety.
Jean wondered. "How's the bond busi
ness?” she asked?” "Been selling any
lately?”
“A few,” he answered. “But let’s
not talk about that. Listen, honey.
I've got a swell Idea—about us. I’m
crazy about you, Jean, and you—like
me, don’t you?”
“You know I do, Bud.”
“Well, look here.” Bud went on,
lenning acrosss the table, "we’re both
free till Monday morning, so what
d’yoti say we push off somewhere for
the week-end?”
A puzzled expression came over
Jean’s pretty face.
“Don't look shocked," Bud said.
“We're both of us old enough to do
what we want to.”
It was like a slap in the face to
Jean. At length she said. “Let me
get tins straight. You’re not asking
me to sneak off with you like some
cheap little cutie, are you?”
“Why put It like tiiat, Jean? There'S
nothing cheap about it. We'd register
as Mr. and Mrs. Something or other.
Lots of people get away witli it—why
shouldn’t we?"
"Because Im not that Kind. Ana
please don't say anotlier word about it.”
Bud rubbed out Ids cigarette and
spoke again. "I s'pose you don’t like
me enough." he said. “That’s about
the size of it.”
“Don't be silly. Bud. I like you an
awful lot and you know it, but t
couldn't fall for that. Think how bad
ly I'd feel about it afterwards! My
self-respect would drop to zero and
stay there.”
“For Pete's sake!” Bud exclaimed.
“That’s the liooey they put in books
but I never thought anyone took It
seriously.”
“Is that how you look at it?” Jean
asked.
“Sure! Why not?”
“All right.” Jean picked up her
handbag and rose. “That washes us
up." She walked away.
Sunday seemed interminable.
On Monday morning the streams of
hurrying people on the streets restored
Jean almost to normal optimism. It
was line to get to tlie office and hear
tlie noisy chatter of the girls and to re
ceive Mr. Itoper's friendly smile ns he
went past her desk to his office. Jean
was Mr. Itoper's secretary.
As the weeks went by Jean grew to
hate leaving the office at night and go
ing hack to her room.
A bright moment in tile monotony of
her existence came when Mr. Itoper in
vited her to a theater. She splurged
herself to a new dress. It was a great
evening.
It rather surprised her when, hav
ing taken dictation for an hour two
days later, Mr. Itoper said. “Oh, Jean,
I've got tickets for the horse show
tonight—it's the big jumping night.
If you’re doing nothing else T thought
you might care to come with me?”
“I'd adore it,” she said.
They dined leisurely, then went on
and joined the throng of well-dressed
people watching splendid horseflesh
in action. Jean was thrilled.
"By the way, Jean,” said Boper dur
ing the lull in the performance. “I
told my Jap to fix ns a bite of sup
per. Would you mind coming back to
my apartment—for a few minutes?”
The sparkle died out of Jean’s eyes.
“What for?” she asked.
“Just to talk about'Something-—and
hnve a drink and a bit of food."
“Oh, all right." Jean said after a
moment, and looked toward the arena
again. But she was seeing nothing
there; she was thinking bitterly.
As they stepped into the apartment
she caught sight of a table set for
two. There were orchids on it, and
the gold too of a chamDatrue bottle nrn.
UNCLAIMED MILLIONS
In view of the conditions
which have prevailed during
the last four years it would
seem that almost anyone who ;
had ready money available
would be inquiring about it,
especially if it were not pro
ducing any income.
Yet the treasurer of the Unit
ed States recently stated that
more than 38 million dollars
due American citizens as prin
cipal and interest on matured
Liberty bonds and Victory
notes remained unclaimed in

Roper took her wrap. They sat
down, both ill at ease, and drank the
wine while pretending to eat.
Suddenly a violent desire to get out
of that place came over Jean.
•'I must go now,” she said.
“Oil, not yet,” Roper protested. “I
got you to come her for a special pur
pose—it was the only spot I could
think of where we'd he quite alone.”
••Well—what is it?” Jean asked
wearily.
“1 wanted to ask you to—to marry
me.”
Jean looked at him with wide sur
prised eyes.
•Tin desperately In love with you,
Jean.” he went on.
Jean continued to look at him with
out speaking.
“What is it. Jean?” he asked. “Don't
you like me?”
Tears came to Jean’s eyes and her
mouth quivered. Jack Roper took her
in his arms and kissed her very ten
derly.
"Rut why the tears Just now, sweet
heart?” he asked a few moments later.
“Oh. 1 don't know, dear,” she said,
smiling and taking his face between
her hands. “Women cry about queer
things sometimes. You'll learn that-'*
the treasury.
Many theories are advanced
concerning this seeming indif
ference on the part of holders
of these government obliga
tions, each of which may be
correct as to certain portions of
the large sum involved.
Some of these bonds and
notes have doubtless been de
stroyed by fire or otherwise,
others have been hidden away
and forgotten; still other hold
ers do not know that their
securities have been called for
redemption, while some know
they can get their money but
prefer to leave it with Uncle
Sam.
It has been rumored that a
good many purchasers of Lib
erty bonds thought they were
simply donating the amount
paid to help the country win
the war, and at least one case
is known in which the holder
of a Liberty bond inquired of
the treasury to find out when
he must pay interest on it.
Whatever the reason for not
presenting these bonds and
notes for payment, the govern
ment is not doing the worrying.
If no claim is made for any
amounts due, the treasury is in
just that much.
STRANGE COOPERATION
An odd gtory of cooperation
between enemies was related
in the House of Commons re
cently during a debate over
Britain’s attitude toward hos
tilities in the Far East.
As reported by the Associ
ated Press, purchasing agents
representing China and Japan
chanced to meet in the waiting
room of a London munitions
manufacturer and during some
delay in obtaining an audience
with the head of the firm they .
engaged in friendly conversa
tion.
Finally they got to compar
ing the prices they were pay
ing for war material and decid
ed that both were paying too
much. They agreed to go to
the manufacturer together and
do a little “collective bargain
ing.” By putting up a united
front each obtained prices
40 per cent below those origin
ally quoted by the manu
facturer.
ALASKA NOTES
Charles Frank, former Hyder
man, convicted tw'ice of mur
dering J. W. Sparrow at Nome
in 1928, was recently acquitted
after a third trial. Frank’s
first trial was in 1929 and re
sulted in a verdict of first de
gree murder. A new trial was
granted on appeal, which re
sulted in a second degree con
viction and a sentence of 35
years.
W. F. (Caribou Bill) Cooper,
famous Alaska dog musher,
