wmaa^mm*m*imamumtmmMsm*Mma^immmmmBam*
THERE WAS despair in the
heart of Cookie 0' Toole and
despair in the hearts of his
classmates. For Miss Clara Bin-
yon, the new English teacher,
had arrived and taken over! And
Miss Binyon' s name was not to be
mentioned lightly, but in muted
whispers, in fear and trembling.
Miss Binyon was elderly, skin-
ny and strict. Her homework as-
signments covered an entire black-
board every single day. She was
much given to springing unan-
nounced quizzes to trap the un-
lucky ones who had not read the
first fifteen chapters of "Ivan-
hoe" the night before. Further -
more, she would often steal up
behind an unwary kid in the li-
brary to see what he was reading.
If it was " trash", woe betide
the unlucky reader!
Needless to say, none of this
testing and pouncing did anyone
any good. In a few short weeks,
all of Miss Binyon' s students
became quite pale and nervous,
jumping at unexpected sounds and
unable to have any fun because
doing homework became a general
career.
One afternoon, as Cookie, An-
gelpuss and Jitterbuck were gath-
ered around some malts at the
Soda Jerkerie, Angel burst forth,
" I don' t care! She' s a terror!
She' s nothing but a mean old
thing!"
No names were necessary. Rais-
ing his heavy-lidded eyes, Jit
moaned, "Boy, Simon Legree had
nothing on her! Talk about slave-
drivers!"
Cookie was so disheartened that
he could hardly finish his malt.
"Don't fight it, friends," he
advised, "it's bigger than we
are!"
The soda jerk leaned across the
counter and looked thoughtful.
"Y'know somethin'," he said. "I
used to have a teacher like that!
She was murder. .. till she met
some Romeo and made with the ro-
mance! She was a different chick
from then on. Sorta human, almost!"
Into the hearts of Cookie, An-
gel and Jit came a thin ray of
hope. "Maybe., .maybe that would
happen to Miss Binyon, too, if
she had a. .. boyfriend, " Angel
said hesitantly, as though the
idea were too fantastic.
"Maybe she's got one right
now!" Jit offered despondently.
" Maybe she' s as human now as she
ever will be!"
"This is not time ta quit!"
Cookie said. "The situation is
serious! Why don' t we find out
an' do somethin' about it!"
"You're elected! "Angel and Jit
cried simultaneously. " And re-
member, a lot depends on you!"
It was with this thought in
mind, that Cookie started his in-
vestigation. For a starter, he
trailed Miss Binyon to a local
circulating library near the
boarding house where she
roomed. And his heart leaped as
he saw Miss Binyon select a novel
clearly entitled "«Love' s Tangled
Web". "Hmmmmmm. .." said Cookie
thoughtfully, as he watched Miss
Binyon slip the novel into a
"Kenilworth" book jacket.
From the library, there was a
short brisk walk to the Bijou.
Sacrificing some date money,
Cookie followed Miss Binyon into
the darkened movie house. The
sacrifice was worth it. Miss Bin-
yon fastened her eyes on Van John-
son as a few deep sighs escaped
her. She sure was gone on Van!
"Hmmmmmm..." Cookie said again.
On the way home, Miss Binyon
paused for a moment in front of
a store window. The display
featured a perfume called "Love
Thief". Miss Binyon appeared to
be giving it a good deal of
thought.
"Hmmmmmm..." said Cookie for
the third time, "I think I see
the way clear, with just a little
figuring. Miss Binyon is ready
for romance!"
Cookie worked out what he con-
sidered a fool-proof plan to
bring Cupid and a softening in-
fluence to Miss Clara Binyon.
Carefully, he typed a note which
read, "Dear Miss Binyon, please
do not think me forward or bold.
You are the type of woman I have
long admired but seldom seen.
If you think this note worthy
of answer, please drop your re -
ply at the newspaper office."
Cookie thought for a while be-
fore adding the signature,
" Smitten".
It worked like a charm. The
very next day, Miss Binyon' s
class was surprised to note that
Miss Binyon' s cheeks were faint-
ly pink and that she had a tend-
ency to stare out of the window.
Cookie knew that she had re-
ceived the note. Perhaps she
was even planning to answer it!
' She was. That very afternoon,
Cookie picked up her answer at
the newspaper office. It said,
"Dear unknown, I am not the
type who ordinarily responds
to advances of any kind. How-
ever, your note interests me."
It was signed "Clara B".
After that, Cookie was kept
very busy. Correspondence flowed
between "Smitten" and Miss Bin-
yon, getting warmer and warmer
in tone. And Miss- Binyon herself
began to do her hair in curls,
to make little jokes in the
classroom and to become rather
absent-minded about assigning
homework of any sort. The class
breathed again.
The romance between Miss Bin -
yon and her unknown admirer
flourished so, that one day the
schoolteacher turned up in class
with a new permanent wave and
lipstick! Something told Cookie
that the name of her perfume,
as it was wafted
was "Love Thief",
was serene in Miss
lish classes.
And then. . . di'saster! Cookie,
stopping at the newspaper office
to get Miss Binyon' s note, al-
most choked as he read it. It
said, "Dear unknown, I feel
that it is time we met! I am
sure we have much to say to each
towards him,
Oh, yes, all
Binyon' s Eng-
other. I shall wait for you at
the newspaper office tonight!
"Jeepers, I never thought of
that!" Cookie exclaimed. "This
means trouble! What' 11 I do if
she finds out it wuz me all the
time? I' 11 be court-martialled. . .
she' 11 sock me with fifty years
o' homework! I've gotta do some-
thin'!"
With the fear of Miss Binyon
spurring him on, Cookie composed
a note. It said, "Dear Clara,
you must forgive me, but I am
called out of town suddenly. You
shall hear from me when I re-
turn!"
Wildly, frantically, he" raced
to the newspaper office to de-
liver it in time to head off the
dread woman. And as he entered
the office, a feeling of guilt
hit him in the pit of his stomach.
Someone was talking about her.
"Now, you take that Clara Bin-
yon," he was saying. "She's
gotten to be a mighty fine-look-
ing woman.
It was
Changed a lot, I'd say!"
Mr. Oliver Worthing,
old bachelor-about-town and ed -
itor of the lovelorn column. In
a flash, Cookie revised his stra-
tegy. It was do or die! Sink or
swim! Tearing up the note he had
brought, he wrote another one
for Miss Binyon. It said,- "Just
ask for Oliver Worthing." Then
Cookie ran.
About a month later, the news-
paper carried the announcement
of the engagement of Miss Clara
Binyon to Mr. Oliver Worthing.
Miss Binyon had blossomed with
the romance, so that she was
sweet and understanding, gentle
and soft-spoken. Her classes a-
dored her and were ready to vote
her the most popular teacher of
all time. Everything was perfect.
Cookie was a hero! He collected
enough money from the class to
buy Miss Binyon a corsage of
gardenias.
As she took them, Miss Binyon
blushed and said, "Thank you so
much. I wish to announce that
after my marriage, I am going to
retire. My place will be taken
by Miss Louella Binyon, my older
sister. And, class. .. she' s very
strict!"

TITTERBUCK JONES' heart melt-
ed within him as he stood
in front of Ye Fancy-Pants Shoppe.
A three-toned sports jacket!
Three different colors, count ' em,
all on one snazzy set of threadsl
Was this an item for a guy to
own! Wbwie! It was Shangri-La,
with sleeves. ,
Then Jit's eyes lit on the neat
little price card below and for
one bitter moment, he tasted de-
feat. "Fourteen dollars an*
ninety-five cents!" he read. "A
fortune! Who's got dough like
that?" Discouraged, he was about
to turn from the window, but he
couldn't tear himself away with-
out one last look. And that last
look was enough.
"This jacket I gotta own!" he
vowed. "From now on, my ambition
is ta raise enough loot ta make
it mine!", ' - >
From that moment, Jit was de-
dicated to the one task of rais-
ing the princely sum of fourteen
dollars and ninety-five cents.
Since the idea of working for the
money was the last thing that
would ever enter his mind, Jit
used other methods. He begged,
coaxed, borrowed, cajoled. To
his sympathetic friends, he ex-
plained his great need. " Honest,
fellas, I need that jacket like
I need oxygen," he said. "With-
out it, I can't live!"
The day came, however, when
everyone, evenZoot, turned their
pockets inside-out to prove to
Jit that they were stone cold
broke. And no matter how Jit ad-
ded up the take, it still came
to only thirteen dollars and nine-
ty-five cents. One buck short!
There was only one thing to do.
Repulsive as the idea was, Jit
would have to earn that dollar.
Closing his eyes and trying to
overcome his disgust, he con-
sented to sit for two whole hours
with little Merton Cruller, the
terror of the neighborhood. At
fifty cents per hour, the take
would be one buck! And the jacket
would be his!
The two hours spent with little
Merton Cruller gave Jit his first
real appreciation of Dante's In-
ferno. First, little Merton lock-
ed him in a closet, where he al-
most smothered to death before
the laughing child released him.
As he staggered from the closet,
Jit was greeted by a shower of
lukewarm milk, supposed to be
taken internally by little Mer-
ton, but used instead as a weapon
of offense. And when Jit tried
to wipe the milk out of his eyes,
little Merton seized the opport-
unity to kick him sharply in both
shins. All in all, Jit was happy
to escape with his life and the
dollar, feeling that he had suf-
fered.
All night, Jit had nightmares.
Would the jacket still be there?
Had they sold it to some square
who would never treasure it as
he would? Only the morning would
bring th.e answer and when it came,
Jit hastened to Ye Fancy-Pants
Shoppe, his heart beating high.
He was a block away from the
store, when he saw the three
gorgeous colors gleaming at him
from the window. It was there,
it was safe, it was his!
But as he drew closer, Jit re-
coiled in horror! The two-timers!
The cheats? For this he had en-
dangered his life by baby-sit-
ting with little Merton Cruller!
On the neat little price card,
the fol lowing appeared: " Special
for today... this jacket now
thirteen dollars and ninety-five
cents!"

• Rex Ferris, like you, paid only a few cents
to start building into a champion all around
He Man!
Rex mailed me a coupon as below. He was
a skinny bag of bones. Today he is tops in
athletics, strength, business.
Larry Campbell paid me hundreds of dollars
