Mt ALL" she sobbed and soon was cry
ing harder than ever. And at once the
animals and the birds began their racket
again.
While the din was at its loudcst,
Balky Sam came galloping back.
Astride him, clinging on tightly behind
Billy Belgium, was Penelope, the maid
from the tower. Her face was all smiles
and she waved her hand gayly ut Peggy
and the animals and the birds. Billy,
too. apparently had forgotten the sad
call of the violin and was shouting with
glec as he urged Balky Sam to a faster
and faster pace.
The din hid the noise of the sad vio-
lin, so Peggy smiled back at Penelope,
being glad when she heard the gay laugh
of the prisoner of the tower.
"What fine welcome cried Pencil
ope, who thought that all the racket
was in her honor. "It makes Inc forget
that / do not love the perfectly prim
and proper rich old man Aunt Prue is
forcing me to marry, and gives me hopes
that l may be happy after all. Come,

The Business Doctor
BY HAROLD WHITEHEAD
Author of 1.-THE Business Career
Of Peter Flint" and "Bruno
Ouke-SoIver of Busi-
ness Problems"
American Supremacy Depends on
Education

WHENEVER a business enterprise
w has needed expert technical man
agemcnt it has generally looked around
for man with the necessary equipment
to take hold of the job.
Sometimes, very seldom unfortu-
nately, the concern has found the man
who has the required ability already
working in it's service. More fire.
Quently. the concern looks among its
competitors for the man it wants.
Perhaps equally frequently the con-
Germ will go to Europe and hire a skilled
man there and bring him here to per-
form some particular technical stunt.
The result is that we can travel all
over this country and find Englishmen,
Frcnchmen. Scotchmen, Italians, Nor
wegians. ETC.. at the head of manufac
turing and commercial enterprises.
That's all right, for these people make
good Americans, but suppose these ex-
pertS went back to where they came?
"PoOf." the light Drained optimist
may say, Il guess we can easily get
onto the curves of the game. We should
worry"
OF course we could get onto the curves
of the game, but why go to that trouble

Billy Under the Spell

UpILLY is under the spell of the
- sad, sad violin. Hoo! Hoo Now
we are lost" hootcd Judge Owl as Billy
galloped away on the back of Balky
Sam to the rescue of Penelope, the
maid in the tower.
Peggy feared that what Judge Owl
said was true. Billy had gone to the
aid of Penelope. it is true, but he had
gone slowly and reluctantly, and not at
oil with his usual zcst to help any one
who was in trouble. And while he gal
loped away he kept looking mournfully
back, as if the lure of .thc violin was
still strongly drawing him.
There was some odd charm about the
playing. Peggy felt it herself. 1t made
her feel blue and lonely, and before she
knew it tears were streaming down her
face and she was sobbing as if her heart
would break.
Seeing this. Johnny Bull began to
howl, Lonesome Bear growled and
groancd, Billy Goat blCated, Rollo, the
monkey. Chattcred and screamed, Judge
Owl screcched, King Fisher ratified,
Bittcrn crcakPd like an old pump, and
all the other birds shriekeG their loud =
est. 1t was all very weird and de
pressing.
Peggy quickly noticed that when this
racket drowned out the wall of the VIC e
/ lin, her spirits rose and the ache went
out of her heart. Then. as the birds
and animals got out of breath and their
noise grew faint enough for the violin

DREAlfLAND DADVENTURES--ByD Daddy
"THE GIRL IN THE TOWER"

The animals and birds, hearing this,
stopped their noise, put on glad looks,
and began to play in the moonlight in
the same glad way they had done the
day when Penelope first learned to laugh
and have fun.
But just as their fun was getting
started the wall of the violin sounded
clear through the woods. Penelope lis
tened in surprise and slowly the glad
light .died out of her face, and the
old moufnful look of her perfectly prim
and proper days took its place.
''Oh, I'm SO unhappy" she sobbed.
I've got to marry that ugly rich old
man, and l know he will make me
miserable all my life, and I'll never
have a real love story of my own, and
I'll never, never be happy. Oh Oh l.!
Oh - She threw herself on the ground,
buried her head in her arms and gave
way to her grief. Peggy grew indignant
at the maker of the sad sad music.
"Shame on him Shame! Shame!"
she cried. BILLY, you go stop him dis
instant. Teach him to play glad music. :"
But Billy was already on his way to-
ward the strange musician. He had his
own violin at his shoulder, and as he
went he began to play. And the tune
he played, instead of being glad and
gay as Peggy had expected, was the

Good night! I'm going to move! Who

for rent far, far away?"
But Peggy wasn't paying any atten-
ton to Judge Owl. She was too busy
trying to comfort poor Penelope.
(TomorroU uiH be told hoto Billy
is brought out of the spell.)
