The Angel went to the drug store
and came home with a bulgy en-.

a little tune. Gradually. it came
back TO her, and her cheeks were
red with excitement. as the ia.
miliar chords sounded through the
little room. After a half hours
practice--yes-she was sure she
could do it.
The Angel sat down to quietly
think over things. she must make
her plans sensibly, and make no
mistakes. After considering her
problem from every angle, she
decided she needed help from
some one older; who better than
her Mother; She went out to

You are a perfect darling to

That glorious. mellow tenor voice

he probably had done nothing.
At least, he had never mentioned
1t, I'd she had not suggested

But now it was apparent that
he needed help; maybe he did not

but he should have a chance at a

to earn his own money: a chance
to make q place for himself in
the world. She would try it--it
seemed the only hope.
Then the Angel had a brilliant
idea, and she went to sleep with
a little smile playing around her
lips.
Next morning the Angel seemed

After the little fellow flashed
away. the Angel went upstairs,
made her bed and tidied her room.
She waited until she saw her Dad
so to the bank. and her Mother
went out to give her invalid birds
their breakfast. Then the Angel
tiptoed up the attic stairs and
hunted among the trunks and
boxes until she found her banjo;
she had not touched 1t since
Freckles left. The dark red case
was covered with dust and cob
