that their ten-year-old hopeful, Allan
whom she had been taking to q connec-
ticut school, had run away from her.
"Oh, don't worry about him." said
Mr. Mallory. He jumped on train
and started for Chicago He'll get here
all right. Now DON'T Hold on min
ute. No. wait minute"
Mr.. Mallory suspended the converse
ton because just at this moment a
nurse in his Chicago home opened the
door of the telephone booth and insisted
on talking to him. A moment later In
tone that would have carried to the Pa
cific coast, he announced:
He is here. Just come in All right?
Why, certainly. Yes, Ill put him to
bed. No. he really is here-and he's all
right, too-came on q train, just as l
said. What's that? oh, I'll attend to
that. Say. he's chip of the old block,
EN-? Good-by. Yes, I'll write tomorrow.
Good-by."
whereupon Mrs. Mallory came out of

While in this city Mrs. Mallory stayed
at the Holland house, where Allan in
knickerbockers. was interesting for
opening conversation on the weather

life there very much and didn't see just
why he should go to such one-horse
place as Stamford, Conn. and study

were.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Mallory
took him to Altman's store where she
was having a suit made. 1t had to be
fitted She mentioned on the way that
they were going to visit friends ~
Brooklyn yesterday. Perhaps Allan
had heard that they made all little
boys in Brooklyn go to Sunday school.
AT any rate he fatty said that there
would be nothing doing in the visit

Mallory had reached the fitting room
Allan was halted at the door by
young woman.
