sarcastic. Il don't doubt a mite that

When he had left the room his niece

with anger, her lips were quivering.

1t was more than two months before
Camera Joe was able to be up and
move around freely. He came out of
it weak and white and free of liquor
poison for the first time in years.
As soon as he was able to be about,
Potter got him job clerking in Bru-
bakers grocery store at So week.
Potter collected the SD. He charged
Joe So a week for his current room
and board, and took the remaining
nine on account on the bill which
he had made up for the time
Joe had been i'll in his house.
Early one evening, after he had been
clerking at the Brubaker store some
two weeks, Joe was stretched out on
the front lawn, resting. Mr.. Potter
was sitting on the porch near by read

l do; but Pm nothin' to him. He
probably don't even remember my

That's where Joe was wrong. His
face, many times seen, was not easily
forgotten. The President, standing on
the rear platform of the shiny spec
ial, spied him and smiled. He not only
remembered his face, but he remem-
bered his name. Hello joel" he call

The President smiled and patted him
on the shoulder and turned to the
business of greeting others.
Two photographers Joe used to
work with hailed him, talking fast. The
United Press reporter stepped up,
grinning, and shook his hand. The
manager of n great press syndicate
elbowed his way through the crowd
and clapped Joe on the back.
