G AY! did you ever have to leave
~ the soothing influence of your
own rafting radiators in the Big City
and go romping off to rich relations
for the Christmas weekend?
Well, don't do it, if you can help 1t,
and if you can't help 1t get back home
as soon as possible.
When Uncle Gilbert Hawley sent US
an invitation to run up to Hawleys-
vile for a day or two / looked at
| Peaches and she looked at me-then
we both looked out of the window.
We knew what a wildly hilarious
time we'd have splashing out small
| talk to the collection of human brio
a-brac always to be found at Uncle
Gilbert's, but what is one going to do
when the richest old gink in the fam
lily waves a reckoning arm?
I'll tell you what one is going to do
one is going to take to ones O'Sul-
nvan's, beat it rapidly to a choo-choo
and float into Uncle Gilbert's presence
with business of being tickled to
| death-that's what one Is going to do.
You know nature has few immu-
table laws and one is that even rich
old uncle must in the full course OF
time pass on and leave nephews and
nieces. Leave them what? All! that's
It! Where's that time table?
Hawleysville is about forty miles
away on the P. d. & O., and it Is some
burg. Uncle Gilbert wrote it all him
self
Uncle Gilbert has nearly all the
money there is in the world. Every
time he signs a check national bank
goes out of existence. He tried to
count 1t all once, but he sprained his
wrists and had to stop.
On the level, when ne goes into a
bank all the government bonds get up
and yell, Hello, papa!"
When he cuts coupons it's like a
sheep shearing.
He has muscles all over him like a
prize fighter just from lifting mort
| cages.
When Peaches and ! finally reached
the Hawley mansion on the hill we
| found there scene OF great excite
ment. Old and distant relations were
bustling up and down the stone steps,
talking in whispers; servants with
scared faces and popping eyes were
peeping around the corner of the
house and in the roadway in front of
a sobbing automobile stood Uncle Gill
bert and Aunt Miranda, made up to
look like two members Of the Peary
| expedition at the Pole.
After the formal greetings we were
soon put hep to the facts in the case.
You see, john dubbed Aunt Mi
randa, while pair of great green Cog
| giles danced an accompaniment on her
nose; your Uncle Gilbert loaned the
| money to a man to open a garage in
Hawleysville. But automobiles never

whereupon the woman in the road

other side Aunt Miranda wanted to
know for the tenth time if it would
explode.
How did John tell you to handle
it?" she shrieked, as the Rowdy Cart
bit it's way through a stone fence and
began to dance a two-step over a
strange mans lawn.

yelled Uncle Gilbert as they hit the
main road again.
II don't see what family pride has
to do with it, there isn't soul look

"Oh! if / could only be arrested for
fast riding and get this thing stopped,

These were the days when Hogan

Price came to bat, Hogan inquired in
