When he sees me of course be Iifts
MS nat and he says, Glow do Won do
Miss Riggs 2" he says. "Welj 7 am
sure glad to get in touch with Won
have not had anybody to 90 to din
heI win ana am so lonesome l do
not Know where to CO." He SAYS that
KIND OF jolly like he always is YOU
know but he IS got a pretty loud voice
ana tnere is Walter listening to every
"ord OF 1t and then looking at the
taXlcab that is brought Mr.. Edgerton
and his face is black as the thunder
storm we had this morning.
Well woman that is trained to
SoclaI lie like me had ought to know
"hat 70 DO but l don't and all l can
say IS, Mr.. Edgerton l have a friend
tAat IS just come to see me-" And
1df. Edgerton is ratified too because
OF course he don't want to meet any
Dody. But there is nothing to do but
go down the steps and | saws, "Mr.
hdgerton meet Mr.. Rigley," / saws
and Walter is not got sense to shake
nands but just growls how-de-do and
am thinking as fast as a runaway
express thain.
Walter he says, "Wel l see YOU
have a previous engagement" and he
turns on his heel and starts to walk
OIL put OF course | grabs him by the
arm and makes him turn aroun and
says, Look here Walter this is
not what you think this is business
matter and this gentleman is a gov
ernment official and l am doing i'm
por1ant work for him." l says. 'What
sort OF work." says Walter and YOU
know that kind of pug-nose that he
has got it is already made up for a
fight.
And of course l can't answer him
because Mr.. Edgerton has forbid me
Co. SO what can l do but put it up
TO Mr.. Edgerton? l says, "Mr. Eg-
gerton, Walter Rigley is nv fvan-
say" | says. And Mr.. Edgerton saws
"Oh, did not know that you were
engaged" and l says, 81 have never
had occasion to tell you. But now
Walter has got two days off from
the job of packing goods in a ware
house and he has come to see me as
surprise party. And | think I have
got to explain matters to him if YOU
VIII please let me because he is a
very good BOY and a one hundred per
cent American and when he knows
that this is government work we are
doing and that it is because we have
got to educate the people and keep
the Bolshiviks from getting a hold
OF them he will keep the secret and
you can trust him the same as me. .
80 Mr.. EdgertOn can't do nothing
else but say, alright Miss Riggs /
Will take your word for Mr.. Riglev. -
And l turns to Walter and saws.
There is nobody in the world but
my nom and pop that l have ever
trusted with this but it is all straight
and it will be explained to YOU"
And then Mr.. Edgerton says fo1
Walter to go to dinner with us but
Walter he says, "Not on your life
asst her first" he says, "and if there
Is any dinner you will go with me.
so l says, "It will have to be thai
way Mr.. Edgerton because | know
this boy and he is only got one faul
and that is that he is a mule"
SO Mr.. EdgertOn says all right an,
we gets into the taxi and Walter
shoulder is so broad that there is NJ
room for mine in the seat but he put
me on his knees and you can see h
IS not going to let me be in Nh
Edgerton's way. And | am tellin,
Walter about who Mr.. Edgerton i
and what we are doing and gee yo1
can see that it is a hard lump fo
Walter to swallow he don't know wha
to make of it whether | am kiddin
him or not but Walter is like tn
Spokesman in one way when he don
Know what to say it don't hurt hir
none to say nothing.
