right?" she was so certain about that
| he had not the heart to undeceive
| her.
But the truth was that the String
Beams contributions were running
about like this:
Rev. DIR. Aloysius B. Connor has
returned from his vacation, spent at
Atlantic City, and will preach at ST.
! Margaret'S tomorrow at the IL o'clock
| service"
He was receiving SIS week.
Two things happened at about this
time which had a vital effect on the
String Beans future career.
One was the fact that Uncle Henry,
| returning from luncheon at his club
one day, was stupefied to see, racing
to fire, the car which was supposed
to be safely at home. Two policemen
| were hanging on the running board
and nine young gentlemen. obviously
of the newspaper fraternity, were
damned inside it, some even sitting
on the tops of it's splendidly varnish-
ed doors. AS Uncle Henry watched
the car struck wet place in the
street. turned completely around and
then went on again without so much
as a hesitation.
Uncle Henry swallowed his heart
which had been in his throat. and
his indignation, which was extreme,
and went hack to his hank.
He did a little figuring that after
noon. Gasoline, oil. wear and tear on
tires, brakes and cushions, against
the SIS a week Bill was receiving,
and which, by the way, only Bill ever
saw. And, being a, gentleman to
whom the number was the magic
number, representing the bankers
dream Of interest, he divided the Is
by Z and computed that his own net
loss that day was something like IS.
The other event was a conversation
between the String Bean and his city
editor. anent the intrusion of a quo
tation from De Quincy into the ac-
count of the arrest of a gentleman
who had been arrested stealing dope.
II don't care who De Quincy was.
or what he took" the city editor had
in here is fact. What we want is
what, when, where and, if possible,
why. We don't want imagination"
1t is rather interesting to sit back
for q moment here and reflect on
these two apparently irrelevant Incl
dents. And a third. For 1t was on this
day that an elderly veteran named
Thomas Baird drew $40 from Uncle
Henry's bank preparatory to little
trip and decided to have his shoes
halfsoled and heeled.
Every crisis is led up to by a series
of apparently unrelated events. Here
was Uncle Henry figuring his net
loss on the String Bean per day.
Here was the String Bean. told to
deal only with facts. And here was
Thomas Baird. who had never heard
of either of them. but about to con-
tribute all he had toward denoue-
ment which involved them all.
First of all comes the acquisition
by the String Bean of a cheap car.
Just how long" inquired Uncle
Henry that night. have you been
gathering the news in my carr
The String Bean flushed slightly.
You might observe to your edi-
tors" Uncle Henry said, that they
are not hiring me. Or my car"
The upshot of it was that the String
Bean took the $3.50. which was
Uncle Henry's annual Christmas gift

THE String Bean paused outside
Uncle Henry's door at the Wal
dorf that night There was a strong
odor of iodoform coming from near
by.
He clutched a bag which he held
in his hand. and cautiously opened
the door. Uncle Henry was in bed.
and the iodOfOrm Odor was heavy
about him. The source of it was en-
planned by Il piece of GauZe on the
bridge of Uncle Henry's nose. held
there by radiatin adhesive strips.
