IlcTe cOlile your eggs.
Say, what went on durin the rest of
the day couldn't tell. expect it was a
good deal the same kind of an afternoon
we'd been havin' right along, but to me
it was three X double A with the band
playin'. was light in the head and had
springs in my heels. Everything and
everybody looked good to me.
jollied Old Hickory into lettin' me
tip the sailors that had lugged the sacks
aboard, and | threw in some of his best
cigars just by way of relievin' my feelin's.
Whenever | passed Captain Rupert
killam | hammered him on the back
folksy and told him he sure was some dis
coverer. | even let Mrs. Mumford feed
me an earful about how the late dear Mr..
Mumford always remembered to send
home bunch of roses on their weddin'
anniversary. Rather than revisit the
scene himself, | suppose.
But when it come to playin' opposite
Auntie-say, | was right there with the
Percy-boy stuff: givin' her hand up
the stairs when she came on deck. leadin
her to chair on the shady side, and
hintin' how she looked mighty clipper
after an all-night session such as we'd
had. Talk about smooth stuff! had the
inside of a banana peel lookin' like nut
meg-grater.
Auntie falls for it, too. She has me
whisper in her ear just where the treasure
is slowed and how complete we'd thrown
the crew off the trail. l works up that
sketch of my talk with the Swede sec
ond mate until | had her shoulders
shakin'.
What boy you are!' says she,
gaspy.
Don't overlook the fact that Ill be
votin' next year" says l.
How absurd!' says Auntie.
"We do grow up, you know says l.
"It's a habit we have. And now. how
about glass of that iced pineapple the
steward fixes so well? Sure. Lemme
fetch a couple.
The climax was when she got me to
holdin' skein of yarn for her. AS Old
Hickory strolls by and sees me with my
hands stuck out. thought he was goin'
to swallow his cigar
STILL, l couldn't get just the right cue.
Not that I'd mapped out anything
definite. | only knew | had something
special and particular to say to Auntie,
but l couldn't spring it unless l got the
proper hunch. So the afternoon petered
out, and the sun dropped into the Gulf,
and folks begun disappearin' to dress for
dinner.
The word had been passed that this
was to be a special event tonight so it's
full white flannels for the men and evenin'
gowns for the ladies. You see, we hadn't
told the outsiders a word. In fact, they
didn't even know we'd been away from
the yacht durin' the night.
It's swell feed the steward puts on,
too, consderin' where we was. Nothin'
dry about it, either; for, while Mr. Ellins
amt great hand to overdo irrigati ton,
he's no guide to the great desert. There
was silver ice-buckets on the floor,
and j. Dudley Simms lost side bet to
Professor Leonidas Barr on namin' the
