Dangerheld. Gov. Osborne would
never have sent a message like that
to you-he thought he was sending it
TO your father"
He's insulted me and every other
citizen in the Old North State: that's S
who he's insulted. Mr.. Ardmore. Let
me read it again" and she repeated
the telegram aloud.
Your extremely diverting tele-

smarter man than | thought he was
to think up telegram like that. But
what do you think OF that piece in the
newspaper"
He says he's going to catch Apple
weight dead or alive. That sounds
pretty serious"
Il think its a blum, myself That
telegram we sent him yesterday must
have scared him to death. He was
driven into a corner and had to do
something to avoid being disgraced
and it's easy enough to talk big in the
newspapers when you haven't the
slightest intention of doing anything
at all. I've noticed that father talks
the longest and loudest about things
he doesn't believe at all"

more incredulously.

That must have been the reason l

That was very stupid of you
You've got to get the rascals to elect
you first; then II you're tired or of

you bounce them. But that's political
practice: it's theory we've got to
work out now. The newspapers are
a lot of bother i spent all yesterday
evening talking to reporters. They
came to the house to ask where papa
was and when he would be home"
What did you tell them?'
Il didn't tell them anything sent
out for two other girls and we all Just
talked to them and kept talking and
gave them lemon sherbet and ginger
cookies; and Eve Hungerford played
the banjo. But what were you doing.
Mr. Ardmore, that you didn't come
around to help? 1t seems to me you
don't appreciate the responsibilities
of being secretary to a governor
Il was afraid you might scold me
If did. And besides l was glued to
the long distance telephone all even

of kilograms that annoyed me very
much wish you wouldn't be SO
hard on me, for l have trifling trou-

Il didn't suppose you ever had trou-

though you ever had"
NO one who has never been broth

idea of what trouble is"
I've seen the duke of Ballywinkle's
picture in the papers and he looks
very attractive"
We'll. If you'd ever seen him eat
