Mrs. Lefkovftch grasped her hus-
bands eoat-sIeeye, steadying herself

the Roumania's passenger list, eaede-
kered. sun-goggled and loving the land.
Aaron, like my legs would wobble
right of. that's how feel"
Now, now, Bertha I ain't so steady
myself ff you hang ON me like that"
mo, but them three rough days
| when we first started. you could hang
on me, / tell you. When my legs
wasn't even so steady as they are
now
Trees closed over them, cacti and
the heavy fronds OF palms.
'sMama-papa Just see. Isn't 1t
| Just perfect? Oh, Mr.. Danziger, no
| wonder you raved and raved about
Madeira
Just wait, If you think this is go-
ing some, Miss Esther. Wait until
we 60 up the mountainside on the
funfcular and come down on sledges."
"WheW, give me my fan out of your
pocket, Aaron. don't want to say
| nothing right In the start, but l. tell
You I amt stuck on the smells here.
Mrs. Kron and her husband was right
to stay ON the ship if"
Mama"
"Oh, come now, Mrs. Lefkovftch:
this smell isn't so bad"
There's nobody, Mr.. Danziger, can
tell me better as my own nose what
/ SMELL
.'Mamal'
There's no use talking, Miss
Esther; your mama don't think much
of us Chicago boys. She's all to the
New York"
sit amt Chicago / don't think SO
much of, Mr. Danziger; never blame
| the jug for what comes out of it,"
"Ouch, take that one with you,"
cried Mr. Danziger, lodging an mag
mary blow.
"And maybe, MIR. Danziger, since
you say it, we got right in New York

I'm glad enough for a while it should

| Niche back home in New York says.
| her bite is worse as her bark. / got
a fine boy back home, Danziger.l But
always when he wants to tease his
| mama a little. that's what he says to
| her"
Laughter. two large dimples and the
| crow's-feet of amiability crept into
/ Mr.. Danzigers face. and he flung one
| arm along Mr.. Lefkovitch's stopped
| shoulders.
you got a mighty fine lady for a
wife Just the same, Lefkovitch-a
J mighty fine lady,"
"See, see, mama, there go some Of
the Portuguese who live here, right
past you"
A group OF native riff-raff, bare
limbed and their brown backs still
| glistening from the dive, scuttled past.
Don't look, Esther, feel ashamed
enough. I tell you if I had known
what goes on in town like this, right
on the boat where a young girl don't
need to be ashamed where she looks,
you would have stayed"
| Mama, this isn't"
| 81 don't think it is so nice, Mr., Dan
zigef, since you been here before, you
didn't first tell my daughter they go
around i'm this place worse as In bath
ing suits at stylish summer resorts
mt home I'm America"
| MFR. Lefkovitch cast q thoughtful
sQuint after the group.
/ 81 tell you, Danziger, there's a gold
mine In this kind of q town for a
smart fellow with few dollars to in
vest"
| Wouldn't be surprised"
III i was a young fellow like my
son. Niche, right away In town like
this in furnishing goods business
could make money"
Wouldn't be surprised"
Cheap rents and low expenses To
sell pants to men who don't know
anything about them amt so hard as
to sell them to men what know too
much about them. I bet you, DAN
ziger, with a few thousand dollars,
two young fellows like you and my
son Niche, or his friend, Abe Katz,
could make big money In a town like
this"
For our SON, let me tell you, Aaron,
right in New York, where you built
up for yourself your own business. is
good enough for him, too"
"Oh, look, mama, please look! See
the oxen teams pulling the sledges up
hill"
ZACH, and Esther, see over there the
embroidery shops. A whole string OF
them like Mrs. Kron said there would
be-"
"No, no, mama, please don't cross
over there. We're all going up the
mountainside In a little train, mama
to see the scenery. Aren't we, Mr.
Danzigerf'
4 "You won't have time for shopping
this time Mrs. Lefkovitch, lie you want
TO take thatatrip up the mountain and
be back on the boat by three"
"For scenery. Mr.. Danziger. / got
time when got nothing else what is
more important. / guess, Aaron, if
can buy linens here half so cheap as
| at home. you want yet should 90 uI
ON the mountain top to look at seen
| ery?"
But. mama, everybody goes up
See. they're all going toward the
funieuIar We didn't come all this
