Chapter XXI

 Mrs, Jerome numbered away tC get dressed, and Millie went back to bed She always stayed in bed until noon on Sundays.
 I'll have my coffee in my room if you don't mind, Honey Chile,' she called to Sally in a voice that drip ped with sweetness, and bring along the Sunday paper, too, when you get it picked up."
 My soul! You aren't really going to do it for her, are you?' Aunt Emily gasped in astonishment as Sally bent to pick up the pages that Mrs. Jerome had scattered all over the carpet. She's able to do few things for herself, I should think! Why do you wait on her, hand, foot and finger?
 Why not?" asked Sally with a shrug of her pretty shoulders. the papers got to be picked up sooner or later. anyway. And it's just as easy to carry the coffee-pot into the bedroom as it is to set it on the dining room table,"
 Miss Jerome gave her long searching look with her dark eyes thatsmoved so quickly and saw so many things they were not sup posed to see.
 Sally, you're a fool to work for these people the way you do.' she said finally. II did it for my family all my life, and what thanks did get for it, I'd like to know? Not one Lit, and you won't either! They'll just work you to pieces and when you're worn out they'll find some body else they can treat the same way!"
 She stopped for a second to let that sink in, and then went briskly on:
 "I suppose now that Beau's mar ried, you'll have one more person to fetch and carry for around here. He'll bring his wife home to live, won't he?"
 Sally shot terrified glance at her aunt. '. :. There was a thought! Suppose Beau did bring Mabel here to the flat at the end of their honey moon? . Beau, who never had paid his own way at home. and certainly never would pay Mabel's way either.
 "Oh, you don't think they expect to come here, do you?" she asked and Aunt Emily gave a short bark of laughter.
 "Of course, they'll come here!" said she, You don't expect them to do anything else do you? What other place have they to go to?- They'll come here sure as fate, so you'd better get ready for them!
 The girl shook her head and she

 Sammy Jay
 What is the use of having news to spread if robcdy will believe the news? Sammy Jay fairly ached to tell of what he had seen up in Farmer Browns dooryard. Yes, sir, he fairly ached to tell it.
 But what will be the use?" said Sammy. Nobody will believe me. Everybody will laugh at me"
 Nevertheless, Sammy just couldn't keep it to himself. He saw Happy Jack Squirrel. Hello, Happy Jack!" said he. Have you heard that Polly Chuck has lost the smallest mem Der of her family?"
 NO, I hadn't heard it." replied Happy Jack. What of it? I don't care if she loses her whole family"
 Well" said Sammy, T thought you might be intefested in what I saw in Farmer Browns dooryard." :"
 What did you see?" demanded Happy Jack.
 'I saw that young Chuck eating dinner with Bowser the Hound," said Sammy.
 Happy Jack flirted his great big handsome tail Fly along, Sammy, fly along" said he Do you think l was born yesterday to believe any such tale as that?''
 But it's true" protested Sammy.
 "Ha ha, ta.' laughed Happy Jack. You tell it as if you really believed it'
 T tell you it's the truth" storm ed Sammy growing angry.
 Just then Chatterer the Red Squirrel appeared. You know, he and Sammy are rot the best of friends
 What's the fuss about" de- manded Chatterer.
 There isn't any fuss" replied his cousin Happy Jack. Sammy has been telling me story and is mad because I won't believe it."
 Tt isn't story: it's the truth" stormed Sammy, who was growing angrier every minute.
 ''Tel mo and perhaps I'll believe it. said Chatterer.
 So sammy told Chatteror what he had told Happy Jack and Chattcrer just laughed in his face. You'd bet ter go have you eyes looked after" said ChatteEcr. "Either you have something wrong with your eyes or you've been dreaming. Fly away. Sammy, fly away, Don't try 10 tell honest people any such story as that. When a Chuck and a dog are friends, the world is coming to an end"
 Then the world is coming to an end mighty socn." declared Sammy, as he spread his blue wings and headed for tho Green Meadows He meant 10 tell Johnny Chuck. Ger tainly Johnny and Polly Chuck ought 10 Lelieve him.
 But the nearer he got 10 " here Johnny and Polly Chuck lived. the more doubtful Sammy became. That really was a very hard story 10 be- lieve. He had to admit to himself that had any one else told if 10 him he would have refused to be- lieve it.
 Looking ahead he saw Johnny Chuck sitting up. as is Johnny's way. off little to one side were Polly Chuck and the four young Chucks Sammy longed to shout the news. As he drew near he opened his mouth 10 do it and then thought better of 1t. He had just been laughed at and he didn't want to be laughed at again. Copyright, 1927, by T. W. Burgess)

 Sally Jerome. pretty and clever is the prop and mainstay of hel family in the absence of her father who has not lived with her mother for g years. The family consists ol Mrs. Jerome: the twins, Beau and Millie; and Sally herself. Mrs. Jer- does the housework mornings and office-work for Mir. Peevey down. town afternoons.
 In the flat below the Jeromes lives young Ted Sloan, an automobile salesman who wants her to marry him and keep on working. But the only man in whom she is interested is John Nye whose real estate of flee is across the hall from MT. Peevey's in the Nye-Naylor building.
 Nye hires Millie as his secretary when Sally refuses the job, and as soon as Millie learns that he has money she begins to shine up" to him. He becomes blindly infatuated with her; and Sally is heartsick and jealous.
 Beau and Mabel spend most of their money on themselves. and rarely give Sally anything towards the support of the home. Her only real financial help is an occasional check from her absent father, and sometimes a loan from Aunt Emily Iarnpa her shin Ster amt
 Beau suddenly blossoms out with so many new clothes and other lux uries that Sally becomes suspicious of him, for Beau was not only light fingered as little boy but works in a bank where he is constantly sur rounded by money. The crisis comes when Ted Sloan. angry with Sally because of her coldness towards him, tells her that Beau got more than S100 from him by means of two bad checks. Sally, terrified lest Ted turn Beau over to the police borrows $1O0 from Mir. Peevey. She gives it to Beau to pay Ted. But instead of giving Ted the money, Beau uses it to elope with his girl, Mabel Will mot, according to a note that he leaves behind. Next morning when Millie tells Mrs. Jerome of his run away marriage, she promptly faints. The two girls bring her to conscious ness, and she starts to get dressed to go to spend the day with Aunt Emily at the old Jerome homestead il, which Aupt Emily a former school teacher, is planning to serve chicken dinners to the public.

 For Millie always had insisted upon having the living-room all to herself on the evenings when men came to call upon her. She drew the curtains then, and shut the rest of the family out.
 NO, I'll not have those two living here" she declared again, and Sally could tell, from the set of her chin. that she meant business. I'll move all my clothes and things right into MT. Beau's room right now. this very morning. so there won't be any place for them if they DO come"
 "Oh, we might keep them for two or three days until they find a place of their own," said Sally. that looks so cruel, Millie. Turning Beau out of his own room"
 They can go and live In Mabel's old boarding house!" broke in Mill lie stubbornly. That's the place for them until they get flat or some thing. We may just as well let them know that they cant sponge on us! They'll be here for meals most of the time anyway, you can just bet!"
 As Sally picked up the coffee tray and started down the hall with 1t, she called her back.
 She was leaning back against her pillows, her face radiant, her eyes shining, and her hair catching the light in the sun-flooded room.
 Sally" she said in her delicious drawl, Speaking of weddings and love affairs, I've asked John Wye to supper tonight.

 But smother won't be here to meet him if she stays out at Aunt Emily's to go to church with her," Sally reminded her.
 T hope she does stay!" Millie re- piled pertly, T hope she doesn't come home. She'll talk a lung out of him If she's here, telling him about her headaches, and how her feet go to sleep, and how cucumbers give her heart-burn!-I'd like to have him to myself tonight. may as we'll tell you frankly. with a lit tie encouragement, I think he'd ask me to be Mrs. John Nye, darling"

George Washington have done? He
was almost 65 years of age (equiva.
lent to rs at the present time), and
had been in the public service since
he was 10 years old. Would you have
had him convert the White House into
sepulcher? Furthermore. what
was the attitude of his cotemporaries,
the trainers of the Constitution, to.
ward the third term?
Before he wrote his declination
both parties had already nominated
electors who were a unit for Wash
ington for q third term If he could
be induced to accept, and, in fact,
two of them persisted in voting for
him despite his positive declination.
Consequently, the third term idea
was in no way repugnant to the
founders conception of correct polit-
ical procedure. Is it not plain, there
fore, that the animosity toward a
third term rests in the first instance
upon ar omance rather than a reality?
Replies to Common Law Query.
THE next question you bluntly
ask the President is this: DO you
believe your re- election would be in
mon law which has given you your
present power?
The President of the United
States has no common law powers.
The administration of our Federal
Government is controlled by a writ
ten Constitution and explicit statutes,
from which the President derives
every vestige of the official power
he possesses, and beyond which he
has no power whatever. Conse-
quently, your question being based
upon false premise, furnishes. it's
own answer.
Again, you ingenuously interro-
gate the President as follows: DO
you consider your silence in no way
infringes the dignity of the presi-
Dental office?'
quite the contrary. President
Coolidge abhors useless controversy.
Presidential proprieties prohibit his
indulging in them. Moreover. the
American people have been suffering
in recent years from an overdose of
politics. They have been seeking and
are entitled to at least few months
relief now and then from meddlers
mischief makers and apostles of un-
rest who have become the bane Of
our modern American existence
Aside from all his other virtues,
Calvin Coolidge has done more than
any other President since Lincoln to
give politics a rest and the people a
rest from politicians. He has other

and better uses for his time and our
time. And that is one of the many
reasons why the American people
have faith in him.
FINALLY. you say: win you ac.
cord the electorate leisure to consider
whether it may be called upon to break
with the traditions of 140 years of the
presidential Officer
What is to prevent every other
American following your example in
studying the question from every angle,
whether the President speaks now or
later?
George Washington himself pre-.
served his silence until after both par
ties had nominated their presidential
electors. His letter of declination was
not written until September II, 1896,
less than two months before the elec-
ton. And yet you inferentially indict
President Coolidge for neglect of a
public duty because he does not an
nounee his intentions one year and

seven months in advance Of the presi-
Dental election of 1928.
Speaking of the dignity of his high
office, does it not occur to you that
the President himself, as well as the
public, has some rights in the prem
ises?
