The job of picking" summer board
ers by Offering free vacations to mani
curists and the like was not so easy as
Wallingford had anticipated, and at
the end of the third day he was almost
discouraged. He was standing at the
bar of his hotel, musing in more or less
detection over his poor luck, when a
familiar but long unheard voice hail
ed him, and he turned to find a good
comedian Of his Broadway acquaint
ance at his elbow.

heartily. You're just in time to save
me from going the toboggan route.

The divine fire of inspiration hit
Wallingford ut about that moment

wearing upon the nerves, and his eth

his money in oil. Also his father had
stolen $4,000 from the Warden or.

this was why Charles Algernon had
been hunted and found and studied.

followed the progress of couple Of
short sklrted tennis girls, their dannels
draplng themselves prettily in the
breeze against 1.-the young limbs.
Wallingford saw and understood and
again found himself oathing Swivel

agreed. pays big, requires small capt

Chief Of Staff Scott
IndOrses Garrison Plan

continental army plan was defended by
General Scott, chief of staff, before
the senate military committee today,
as the best compromise between an un-
wieldly system of mlitarism and total
unpreparedness.
''The question:" he said, "is not to
obtain an army that can lick the world,
but to provide force among our
citizenry, not forgetting that our main
business is peace.
He secuted claims that an enemy
could overrun the country as quickly as
some experts have testified they could.

At precisely . o'clock there was a

The eyes of Mr.. Swivel narrowed q

"What do you say about going to
Chicago in the morning. then?' sug-
gested Walllngford
Again Swivel hesltated moment.
Give me just an hour to think it
over" he said,
Walllngford of course gave him the
hour, but he looked in anxiety after
Mr. Swivel as that young man walked
back to the hammock where he had
left Miss Van Vorhies. 1t was after
the concert was over that Mr.. Swivel
came to Wallingford, all smiles and
full even of eagerness.

the train go?'
"The stage leaves about o'clock.
Is that too early for your

When Wallingford hurried out to the
stage he found an unexpected addition
to the party in the person Of smiling
and confident Miss Tottie Van Norhies.
Il have to meet papa in Chicago"
she sweetly observed to Walllngford,
"and | am certainly the lucky one to
find that am going to have such
good company. know you boys will
all be nice to me-"
Wallingford and Daw exchanged
gances of wonder, and then, as by
common impulse, they cast black looks
at the back of the neck Of Charles
Algernon Swivel
"Why, say, Blackie," declared Wal
llngford when they had moment to-
gether in the smoking compartment,
IF this unbakcd lob tries to put over
any trick or hold back any of his own
coin I'll have him pinched. They
have strenuous laws in Chicago
against rubes having money"

Before the trip was over, however
he concluded that he had been doing
Mr.. Swivel an injustice, for Mr. Swiv'
el paid no more attention to Miss Tot
tie than did either of the others. He
was cheerful and chatty all the way
and corroborated his intention to pur-
chase Pine Lake by mentioning certain
triiling Improvements he meant to
make in that pleasant. health resort
When they arrived in Chicago he bade
Miss Tottle pleasant goodby and
went with the other men to their ho'
