SCOLD|NG BY PROXY
BY JOHN KENT.

Mrs, Belman and her daughter ex
changed glances after the doctor haC
left the house.
Daisy was the first to speak.
Now mother, dear, don't you worry
about the medicine. | know we car
afford it"
Dear, how can WEI" interrupted the
delicate little woman on the sofa. DIR

AS If you we're not the greatest use
In the world to me-just as you are
there on the sofa?. What would | dc

Mother, I've thought Of the loveliest
plan to raise the money-and you are
not to ask a word about 1t, and don't
worry"
Mrs. Belman raised herself to sit
ting posture and Daisy put another
pillow behind her.
Let me tell you something, dear,
and 1t may save you trouble and some
modification. Don't go to your IA
theirs half-brother about it-Anthony
bears an old grudge and would not
help me if | was dying" A pink flush
came and went in her thin cheek.
Mother" gasped Daisy. Daisy's
one hope had been Anthony Bush, rich
and childless. why did he hate you
sol" whispered the girl after awhile.
Because married your father-in-
stead Of him." said Mrs. Belman
quietly.
oh! And he holds revenge after
all these years? How contemplate
he must be!'
HE Is hard man"
Never mind, dear, I will get the
medicine, somehow. l can get the
first prescription filled tonight-the
powders"
Very we'll. AS soon as you return
we will go to bed-you must be very
tired"
The next day Daisy Belman went to
her work In downtown law office, un-
refreshed by night of sleepless toss
ing.
How to get the money needed for
her mothers medicine puzzled her.
There was not a relative to call upon
no money In the bank since her IA
Tiers sudden death a year ago. and
no valuables which she could pawn to
gain the necessary amount. Daisy was
the sole support of her mother and
their tiny fiat was the best that she
could afford.
Il will come home with the medicine

mouthpiece of his telephone.
We'll, I'll be hanged" he mpttered
as he returned to his chair That's
the worst blowing UP ever had-and
by Jove, it wasn't meant for me, after
! all! Tough luck that Uncle Anthony

| picked up the telephone directory and
ran his finger down the column. Next
to his own name was that Of another
, Anthony Bush-a broker in the Woolly
building.
That's the old duffer," he said, no
ting the number. I've heard of him
rich as can be. Let me see, didn't Dol
Peterkin tell me that he asked old
Anthony one day if he was related to
his namesake, Anthony Bush, the land.
scape painter? He did, and Dol
thought it a great joke because the
old man snarled that he'd rather claim
kinship to prosperous house painter
than starving artist! He must be an
old teaser!"
Tony Bush changed his coat, put on
his hat and went down to the Woolly
building. When he was admitted to
the presence Of the other Anthony
Bush he found the broker studying
his card with mingled Impotence and
curiosity.
Some beggar trying to claim rela-
1lonship with me-" muttered old An
thony. whose conscience was still ten
der from his interview with the timid
little dark-eyed girl whom he had
scared out Of his presence
he was scarcely prepared for the
appearance Of young man, well
dressed, we'll groomed, and quite un-
usual looking for the Woolly building.
Tony stated his business at once.
I wondered if you could supply me
with the address of Mrs. Belman," he
asked, pleasantly.
Lydia Belman? don't really
know-let me see, had the girls card
here moment ago" He searched
around among the papers on his desk,
found Daisy's card, and tossed it over
to the young man.
Tony copied the address into his
notebook and arose to 90. Thank
you for this information" he said, with
a keen look at the unhappy old face.
i happen to know that Mrs. Belman ia
very i'll and in temporary distress;
am axious to do something"
Anthony grunted. ANY relation?"
he asked.
None"
Ever met the girl, Marguerite?"
Never saw her in my life," truthful.
ly replied Tony.
"Spiritless little chit could have
admired spitfire!"
Anthony remembered the fiery mes
sage he had received over the wire
and chuckled
AT that instant the door opened
breezily and Daisy Belman came hur-
rying in. She did not see Tony Bush

| until she spoke
| "Oh, Uncle Anthony. | am SO sorry
for what | said to you over the tele-
phone! You must think me very rude

Mr.. Bush put up protesting mana.

cause he noticed for the first time
how like her mother she was.
MY dear, | don't know what you're

| gentleness. You didn't say a word
after refused to help you, and | rather
wish you had. As for a telephone
message, what are you talking about?"
Daisy was looking at him in amaze
ment. Il went right downstairs and
telephoned up to you-and called you
mean and cruel and lots of things!
Don't you remember"
Anthony Bush's eyes twinkled. My
telephone bell has been silent for three
hours he protested. At that moment
his glance met the betraying ones Of
| Tony Bush, who had fingered near the
door. Tony came forward at once.
Il beg your pardon, but I'm afraid
that your message came to me instead
of your uncle. My name is Anthony
Bush, too"
Daisy turned red and pale, while
Uncle Anthony laughed until he cried,
and young Tony, who had received the
scolding by proxy, tried to keep his
lips straight, but he couldn't, and when
, the laughter came into his eyes Daisy
laughed, too, and the spell OF embar
rassment was over
Young man, owe you something
for taking that scolding for me-"
chuckled Uncle Anthony, when Tony
turned to 60 away. How can |
pay it,"
Tony spoke in low tone with a
quick glance at Daisy, whose eyes
were fixed On the rooftops below
you can repay the debt, Mr. Bush,
by relieving Mrs. Belmans distress.

Il WILL" said Anthony grufly, But
haven't repaid you yet he said with
a quizzical look in his eyes.
Tony blushed and hesitated. At last
with glance at Daisy's graceful form,
he said, doubtfully:
"You-might introduce me to your
niece! That would repay me a thou
sandfold."
Six months later Dol Peterkin met
Tony Bush outside the studio door.

how could she fulfil that promise?
On the way home she decided to ap

sake. She could bear anything fol

Mr.. Anthony Bush sat in his private
office frowning at the calendar which
glaringly spaced off the remaining
months of the year. Anthony Bush
was soured at the world-he had
frowned at 1t for SO many years that
he had forgotten how to smile.
His expression did not change when
Daisy came timidly in, having been
preceded by her card.
Anthony Bush did not arise at her
entrance, nor did he even deign to
turn his head in her direction.
"Well?" he barked out

Daisy said not a word She vanished
from the room and never caught her
breath until she had reached the lower
corridor Of the big Office building.
How hate him!" she cried passion
ately. Il wish l had told him SOL

telephone booth. picked up the direc-
tory, and with eyes blurred with tears,
sought and found the name OF Anthony
Bush.
At the same time Daisy Belman was
telephoning to her Uncle Anthony, the
telephone bell tangled in a pleasant
studio, not far from Washington
square.
AT the sound a big young man
reused himself from q deep chair and
picked up the receiver.
This is Anthony Bush" he said
pleasantly.

to his astonished ears.

CORN COB PIPE FREE
WITH DIXIE QUEEN
Every Purchaser of 10c Pouch of
Dixie Queen Will Receive Corn
Cob Pipe Free.

Local dealers have limited sup
ply of Panama" Corn Cob pipes and
during the next few days, or until
their supply is exhausted, they will
give one, free, to each purchaser of
10c pouch of Dixie Queen Plug Cut
Tobacco.
The panama" has natural fin
ish corn cob bowl that seasons rich
ly and absorbs all the nicotine, thus
insuring a mild, sweet smoke. The
stem of imported German Weichsel
wood, with Amberine bit, adds its OWL
aromatic perfume and is neat and
serviceable.
Dixie Queen is what the local deal
ers call "a mans tobacco" and they
state that"its great popularity is due
to the careful aging process, which
takes from three to five years, ana
gives to Dixie Queen flavor and
sweetness that is exceptional. Sew
eral seasons crops are kept stored
away, by the manufacturers of this
tobacco, so that the quality of Dixie
Queen never varies, and the lovers OF
this famous tobacco never switch.
The popularity of the corn cob pipe
seems to be greater than. ever and
all local dealers say their limited sup
ply of "Panamas" will diminish very
quickly, and lovers of good old corn
cob smoke should take advantage OF
this free offer at once.

DIR. SHAW CONDEMNS

who are working so quietly but for
chilly in this country for the right

nant over the latest crime of the mill
ants in slashing the valuable "Roke-

world.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, who is
laid up in the Hotel McAlpin, still
nursing a broken ankle from her fall
on February IA, was most e mphatic
in her denunciation. DR.. Shaw said
she could not voice her disapproval
too strongly.

terly useless crime. Not only does
this act, but all similar occurrences,
work damage to their cause, but they
