1--WE were married In an automobile,
with her father and poor dear Harry
chasing us like wildtire in another cur.
Yesterday we went to housekeeping in
q cute little suburban bungalow, furni-
ture on the installment plan. Her
people won't even look at US, Bill l
But do we care? Bill BALE 1 ask you,
old dear, do l seem to be worrying7
Honest. I'm so happy I'm afraid some
thing Is going to happen to me. I'm
to have lift in salary soon, and we
won't be long in paying for the furni-
ture; and when that's done, well buy
the bungalow.
And I'm informing you now, old
savage" he continued, "that you're
having dinner with us this evening.
You'll find 1t pleasant. We do as we
please, you see. If you like, you may
stir your coffee with your finger. eat
with your knife, reach clean across the
table. and pick your teeth with your
fork. You can eat with your hat on,
and you may have your dessert first.
You can have an extra chair for your
feet, and you can go to sleep at the
table. Don't fail us. Pat wants to
thank you for casting her aside at
the altar
Dale laughed boyishly. McLaurln
went on:
There's more news. Your father
has been trying hard to find you. He
sent man to Atlanta to look for you.
He told me he'd give me house and
lot If I'd lind you-and If there was
little more OF the highway robber In
me, Id call his hand!"
And mother-have you seen her7
Dale muttered.
"Fye seen her twice since the near
wedding"
did she have anything to say about
me7 Tell me the whole truth, Bobby.
4 can take 1t, old man. I'm big enough"
q McLaurin frowned. "Since you've
asked me, Bill. your mother-l over
heard her telling your father that she
would never forgive you for the ut
terIy shameless, disgraceful scene you
made In church."
II see." said Dale. He frightened
and went on. LAS soon as can get my
two friends down to the dining room,
Bobby, you're going with me to father.
We're going to claim that house and
lot for you"
"For Patricia's sake, I've a thunder
ing big notion to take you up" laughed
McLaurin. "Your dad would never
miss It,"
That's it-take me up for Pats
sake" said Dale, rising. YOU'D be
foolish II you didn't You should be
willing to do anything, almost, for Pat
She's a Jewel, Bobby"
Half an hour later they caught 4
passing car that soon carried them to
a palace of granite and stone and
cream-colored brick-the home OF tho
old coal king, John X. Dale.
At the wide front gateway young
Dale drew back.
Bring father out here" he said In
a low voice. From what you told me,
1 guess mother wouldn't want me to
come in. But you can find out about
that"
He hoped his mother would want to
see him. While she had never seemed
to care for him as other mothers cared
for their boys; while she hadn't been
quite SO dear to him as she might have
been
And If she vents to see me. Bobby.
