it happens that Bill Townley. fra
ternity brother of mine. has just been
made city editor of the Journal. and
when hiss the password in his ear
and tell him I'll need a little space
daily for a few weeks, he'll go right
down the line for me. And the boys
on the Evening Sun are friends of
mine. too. They have less space, but
they make up for it with bigger head
lines"
You're a dear boy. John, if you are
crazy! I'll stand by you whether you
land us in jail or in the poorhouse."
Bully for you, sis!" And then
lowering his voice, This chance may
never come again! I'm going to wiring
every possible drop out of it. By the
way, if it isn't impertinent. when did
you see Ned last?"
Not since the day you saw me
walking with hira-for the last time.
But he telephoned this afternoon. He
wanted to come up this evening""
Helen" said John. lifting his eyes
dreamily to the ceiling, I'll wager
a diamond tiara against one of your
delicious buckwheat cakes that you
and / will get an invitation to the
Kirby party"
Taken! The cards went out yester-
day"
Let 'em buzz, Ours will probably
come special delivery, with note Of
explanation that in copying the list
we were regrettably omitted. And let
me see," he went on, II rather think
Ned will ask you to go to the party
with him. 1t occurs to me that old
man Shepherd owns some land he's
trying to sell to the Transcontinental.
I must now step down to the public
library and the Journal office to get
dope on the campbells. Also. I'll have
to sneak mothers photograph Of Mrs
Campbell out Of the house. A few IL
lustrations will give tone to our pub
licity stuff"
BE bold. John. but not too bold"
The Campbells are coming, ira la"
he sang. mockingly, and seizing her
hand. danced back and forth across
the kitchen. by Jing. that tunes
wonderful for the toddle" he cried.
We'll make all Kernville step to it."
