Ma Cannon said only yesterday"
explained Lynette, 'Eddy-boy, he could
make you believe black was white
and not half try"
"Eddy-boy! ]" the listener exploded;
II can't say d-n, of c~ourse-you know
what I must be thinking. I hope you
know, too, the %deliverance was intui-
tive-certainly Ma Cannon hasn't
ever heard me as an advocate"

%tantalized.
Young hurry gave her a look of
deep injury, then broke out II see
you want to quarrel-s6 as to refuse
me the job of attorney. But-yOu can't

"Why so apprehensiveY Lynette
asked, her eyes dancing.
hurry grinned. Uncle Ned Is so
tired of being MIXED for reliefs for
all those unpronounceable orphans
and things he has sworn a great oath
to give the air-nothing else-hence-
forth and forever to anybody who
asks him for even a postage stamp"
More power to him. I revere him,
actually" Lynette returned, a dancing
dimple starring in her right cheek.
"I'm so sick of drives and appeals
and missions and things I almost wish

tors and eloquent beggars We're COM
pletely dumb"
HIM, Maybe if you tell Marse
Edmund that" young hurry began,

Lynette glared at him, asking:
"What must you think of me? Max
ing out I'd use my own pet cussedness
to corrupt the morals of a fellow
being who sees the light"
you're the limit" young hurry
sighed, taking her arm and leading
her gently upward. But after a pace
or two he dropped it, saying softly,
"Walk, please-as you did before you
saw me-. Talk about thA poetry of
motion"
"Shut up! I'm a business person

monished severely. You're behaving
as though you thought I'd come on
Irritation bent"
"Well! Aren't your Edmund asked,
his own eyes twinkling. Lynette made
a pass at him with the hazel switch
she had feloniously broken on her
way up-and after it all but ran to
the half-shut front door.
A gruff "Come in !" rewarded her
imperative Knockout there was no
gruffness in the face of Judge hurry
when he saw his visitor.
Heaven sent! That's what you
are, young woman!" he called, max
ing to rise from his easy chair, but
sinking back in it with a frown.
what good wind blew you here, just
when ! so need entertainment"
Enough to pay for it? Pretty high?
I am afraid you must or else get
mighty short r%ations." Lynette coun-
tered. Then swiftly she began talk
ing Of drives, but with such dancing
eyes, such ~half-laughing lips. that the
judge saw instantly that she was mas
q%uerading.' He listened patiently, his
W eyes sparkling. AS she fell silent
he rumlnaged in the desk drawer near
est his hand, drew out a silver dollar
and held it toward her with the air of
an emperor ~bestowing a province.
Tell Nine. MaYcia how deeply /
regret that this is all l can send her
at present" he said in his courtliest
accent. Lynette giggled-the judge
went on imperturbably But you can

"Oh, oh, I'll love being a paid en-
tertainer-and / know exactly the, or

my W self do so want a whole
new frock and a hat to go with it.
But-Aunt Marcia needn't know I'm
earning them until I've gone in debt

The judge smiled at her fondly.
"Then-Edmund won't have to wait
so very much longer" he said. I've
held him in leash, all the year since
he came-knowing Madam Marcie had
destined you and your money for a
missiOnary-and l didn't want to
start you young people with a fine
lusty family row."
