affect me that way, and I'll bet you
had more pollysyllables to the
square inch in that last spiel of
yours than even Madge- here can
manage, and she usually takes the
cake, the icing and the chocolate
filling in that direction"
His mother rose with drawn
brows and flashing eyes.
Mrs. Graham's Suggestion.
~ will not stay here to be insult
ed" she began. but her volatile son
had reached her side before she
had fairly gotten away from her
chair, had put his arm tenderly
around her, and was looking down
into her face with laughing, auda-
cious eyes.
Don't be mad by me, mumsey,"
he pleaded, giving her the old jet
name which l knew he had used in
his childhood. 81 didn't mean to be
bad. But they were awful whoppers
of words, now weren't they"
He pushed her gently into her
chair, and watched with dancing
eyes the little smile that evidently
against her will crept around her
grim lips. Then he kissed her again
and went back to his seat.
There seems much wisdom in
the matters suggestion" he said to
me. rs there any decent place for
eats in Bayview"
ooh, yes, there is very good lit
tie inn about a half-mile from the
school. It's called the Rose Garden,
because in summer the roses in the
grounds are wonderful. Anyone can
tell you where it is"
"All right" Dicky returned non
chalantly. "I'll blow in there little
before noon, order lunch, and send
taxi over to the school house, for
you. No ma'am, ! wont be in it."
He answered the involuntary ques-
ton in my eyes. Gas | remarked be-
fore, | won't appear at that there
'skewl howse' until I'm escorted
there by me welded wife. What
time will you be ready?"
AT ten minutes of H." | answer
ed promptly, "and / must be back at
20 minutes of |, so don't order too
elaborate a lunch
well, I'm going to feed my face
if Bayview stands on its head"
Dicky grunbled, so you'd better be
on time"
"I'll be at the door," I promised,
and excusing myself, sped away to
my train, happy in the thought that
Dicky meant to attend the functions
planned for him. but uneasily won
dering what he meant to say to the
children when the time came for
him to make the speech he had
planned.
For with the new light of the
morning had come the realization
that Dicky was perfectly right in
his structures upon the phraseology
of the speech | had written for him.
however unjustihed he might have
been in the rude phraseology in
which he couched his criticizm. The
language | had used was that which
I myself would employ, and / could
see, was utterly different from that
which Dicky would naturally use.
The indignation which l had felt
at Dicky's rejection of my written
efforts was now, curiously enough,
swallowed up in the fear that in his
repentance for his rudeness, he
would really use the manuscript
which he had pasted together after
/ had torn it.
A. Troublesome Thought.
The thought troubled me all the
morning, stayed with me during the
otherwise enjoyable lunch of which
Dicky and l partook at noon, and
increased in intensity when, after
returning to the school and intro
ducing Dicky to Mr.. Stockbridge,
who promptly took him in charge,
| assisted Miss Holcombe in mar
shalling the pupils into the big as
sembly room and arranging the tro-
plies which Dicky had permitted me
to bring as background for his
talk.
81 give you fair warning" Bess
Dean whispered to me in a snatched
interval of marshalling marching
children. "I'm going to firt desper-
