Honeymooners Abroad
WHEREIN THE vANIP FAILS TO
 VAMP.
BY ZOE BEcKLEY.

In London that night Jack was en- tering his hotel room, worn out but excited. He had been under tre- mendous nervous strain. On the one hand, as Cousins had said over the channel telephone to Stanley, he was preparing the shroud' for Cou- sins position as European manager. Two or three more days, and the chain of evidence of the mans crook edness and treachery would be com plete.
 Across the ocean, one of the vice. presidents of the American Electric Supply corporation was speeding to take charge of the situation. Every thing pointed to successful cul1nin- ation of the mission on which Jack had been sent abroad. Reward would be sure. Promotion; increase in sal ary.
 But he had not heard from Edna for several days. Not one word in re- ply to his three letters. He knew she was resentful of being dragged away from sightseeing at the behest of his mission. But that did not excuse her for lack of loyalty. She should have had thought for his peace of mind this mind of his, that belonged to the firm which was paying him a more than comfortable salary and financing their trip abroad At a time like this, he needed every thought to concentrate on his work. And here she was, carefree about Paris, not even thinking of him
 His telephone rang. Slowly be came out of his angry abstraction and answered it.

 Who's this?" asked Jack, startled

 Your shoes are covered with mud" she said severely. Get them shined at once!' Uncle Sammy groaned. T don't want to-" he protested. | Billy Woodchuck shines shoes; but the pasture, where he lives, Is mile away. I'm too tired to go over there" Send somebody with your shoes Aunt Amanda replied. There's Fatty Coon now, coming up from the creek. Send him!' Uncle Sammy didn't want his shoes shined. Its just whim,' he muttered, Just whim!" What's that?" Aunt Amanda in- , ouired sharply. Uncle Sammy didn't answer He hastened to call to Fatty Coon, and beckon to him. When Fatty came waddling up, Uncle Sammy said to him: Take my shoes over to the pasture and get Billy Woodchuck to shine them.'
 Take off your shoes" said Fatty ood-naturedly. Uncle Sammy united his shoes and stepped out of them.
 'Here! What are you doing?" he cried, the next moment. Fatty Coon was putting the shoes on his own feet!
 This is the only safe way to carry your shoes" Fatty explained. T can't lose them when I'm wearing them"
 Well, don't like your way" Uncle Sammy grumbled. Be care full of my shoes! They're my only pair"

I the guest room adjoining where we had ensconced Tom Chester his voice called softly;
 "is that you, Daughter dear? Can you come in here 2" With the letters in my hands, en- tered the room to find my father en- gagged in giving draught of some- thing which guessed to be medicine to the boy in the bed. And when he had put Tom Chester's head back upon the pillow, the boys white face and twitchlng lips told of the suffer- ing that was his.
 Your mail, Father" 1 said briefly, laying the letters upon the table, and going to the side of the bed In an- swer to tho unmistakable appeal in Tom Chesters strained eyes.
 T am afraid you are suffering" said pityingly.

What Did Lillian See fin the News

Fried scallops and new cider v Lillian reflected amusedly, as the door closed upon Jerry Ticer, and we went out to the side veranda--she with the newspapers, and l with the man. That's some food combination, I'll radio the diet kitchens. Are you real ly going to tackle it?"
 You've never indulged in one of Mrs. Ticer's real culinary orgies. that's plainly to be seen." I retorted. But this one I've tackled before. It's prac- tically innocuous-if you don't stuff something Mrs. Ticer's table always tempts you to do.'
 T think l can manage to put Satan behind me-" she replied dryly. "Is there any mail for me?'
 "Oh Pardon ' I flushed con- fusedly, for in my furtiye search for a possible missive from Dicky had forgotten to give out the rest of the mall Here are two"
 And I know what both are,' she said, glancing at the return direc- tons. Appeals for small contribu- tions. haven't the courage to open them now. My checking account is too low. I'll just glance over the pa- pers instead. I trust your mail is more interesting"

 T haven't any" I said, but must distribute the rest of these. Mother Graham would be tearing her hair if she knew I was delaying her letters.

 His eyes looked up at me happily, the strained expression gone.
 'I can get better now" he said weakly 'I couldn't before. Will--- will--can--you come to see me some- tlmes?"
 "of course" promised. But l must so now. Good-by." and went out of the room bit abruptly, for the query had been so tense, 50 wist- full. that 1t troubled me.
 Why were things so tangled? I asked myself rebelliously as went slowly down the stairs again. No one but knew how longed for word from Dicky, but he apparently had forgotten that his wife existed, while poor Tom Chester

 You rubber-soled snooper :" she gibed. If were nervous woman I should have hit the ceiling. I sup pose your mother-in-law Is waiting for these papers. I'll take them up to her, and then I suppose you'll want to start for the Ticers."
 She gathered all the newspapers under her arm, and went so swiftly into the house that not for minute or two did I begin to realize the as- tonishing fact that Lillian, usually the soul of courtesy, had not given me the opportunity to glance at a single newspaper headline.

Be specially careful of them com ing back" Aunt Amanda added. We don't want his fresh shine spoiled"
 I'll keep your shoes; and then you won't forget to come back" said Uncle Sammy.
 As soon as Fatty was out of sight. Uncle Sammy tried to slip his feet into Fatty's shoes. Alas! They were too small.
 Maybe I can wear 'em," said Aunt Amanda. She tried on Fatty's shoes. They were exactly her size.
 'IIl wear 'em until he gets back" :" she remarked. Those shoes are new; mine are full of holes. In fact, maybe I'll keep these shoes and let Fatty have my old ones."
 "A fine idea-that" cried her hus- to gait and watch for Fatty's re- turn.
 He waited and watched all the rest of that day. And as the time slowly dragged on and Fatty Coon did not appear, Uncle Sammy grew almost frantic.
 Here's nice howdy-do" he spluttered to Aunt Amanda. You've got me into fine fix. I'll have to get mo new pair of shoes some- how. And you needn't ask me to have them shined. You see what getting my shoes shined has done to me-" ii
 Late that evening Fatty Coon came back, dragging one foot after the other. Uncle Sammy's shoes upon his feet were coated thick with mud. And Uncle Sammy was furious.
 You haven't been to the pasture at all," he shrieked. You never got my shoes shined."
 "Oh, yes! I had them shined," Fatty told him. Billy Woodchuck shined them.
 Then why didn't you come right back here, carefully?" Uncle Sammy snapped.
 Because I couldn't pay Billy. You didn't give me anything to pay him with So he daubed mud on the shoes and spoiled the shine. And then was afraid to come bac>. And I was afraid not to-" Fatty ex- plained uneaSily.
 Take my shoes off this instant!" Uncle Sammy thundered.
 Fatty obeyed.
 Where are mine?' he asked.
 'Here!" said Uncle Sammy, hand ing him Aunt Amanda's worn-out shoes.
 These aren't mine." said Fatty.
 Yes, they are. Didn't I just give them to you"
 could do except to put on the old | shoes and go on his way. Luckily he had not travelled far before he came upon Aunt Amanda, taking a nap in spruce tree.
 Fatty climbed the tree noiselessly. Very cautiously he changed shoes with Aunt Amanda. And she never walked up.
 In his excitement Fatty made one mistake. He put Aunt Amanda's shoes on wrong end to, so that the toes pointed backward. And that was the reason why Uncle Sammy Coon appeared at the house of Aunt Polly Woodchuck, the herb doctor, that night, in great distress.
 My wife is in terrible shape" he gasped She's completely turned 1 around. When she walks forward she goes backward"
 Aunt Polly knew that the case was | a serious one. She hurried off with Uncle Sammy. And when she saw Aunt Amanda she said that the first thing to do was to take her shoes off and put her to bed.
 We'll, as soon as they got Aunt Amanda's shoes off her feet she felt better right away. But Aunt Polly made her go to bed all the same and gave her a bitter herb to eat
 And Aunt Amanda never asked Uncle Sammy to have his shoes shined again.

Mannish Styles For the Boy

Boys clothes change little in fashion from year to year, Yet that little broadening of the lapel, the adding of a second button or pocket is momentous when the wearer has reached what mothers are apt to call the "hnicky" age of IF or thereabouts.

 Every mothers son this season will be wanting raglan sleeves and a turned-up, buttoned- over collar. And a snappy belt, don't forget the belt by any means! The material, too, counts lot in the scheme of things, 1t should be of chinchilla cloth, chev- tot, heather mixture or smart new brown worsted.

 Uncle Sammy Coon was not very careful about his dress. Sometimes he went about Cedar Swamp looking actually untidy. If it hadn't been for his wife, Aunt Amanda, he would have looked even worse. For she often scolded him, telling him to brush his coat, or comb his hair, or wash his face.
 Such advice always made Uncle Sammy angry. But he had long since learned that there was just one way to silence Aunt Amanda; and that was to do as she told him. One day when Uncle Sammy came limping home from journey Aunt Amanda turned, her searching gaze upon him. Knowing what that
