that she had not responded
eagerly
Say. Nan, I wondered if it had
occurred to you that Martha Flern-
ing herself wrote those blackmail-
ing letters?"
All her anger and resentment we're
forgotten for the moment. He was
himself agair-John Curtis Morgan,
the greatest criminal lawyer in the
state, and she was herself again
his efficient and valued secretary.

ioyously. 1--WE known it all along

Carroll.
CHE was so elated over the prog

havoc which Curtis had wrought IN
the outer Office could completely
destroy her happiness.
He had cut paper soldiers out OF
one of the carbon copies of the
brief which it had taken her two
hours to type and which would have
to be done over: he had Smeared
paste over half the surface OF her
desk: had spilled ink on the thick
taupe rug which was her especial
pride, and had finger-printed
great stack of John Curtis Morgan's
swankest envelopes.
Long before s o'clock her patience
and her temper were almost eX-
hausted. At half past five, when
she was in the office occupied by
Young Blake and Evans, the clerk,
the telephone rang. Before she could
reach her desk to answer it Curtis
had the receiver off the nook and
was shrilling into it: Hello, hello!
This is Mr.. Morgan's office"
If he had not been John Curtis
Morgan's adored son Nan might
have slapped him; as it was, her
tired brown eyes blazed at him as
she snatched the instrument out OF
his hands.

passionate voice came soothingly

tell me you're busy. 1 recognized

Amusement and amusement
fought with fatigue in Mans face
as she hung up the receiver. So
Willis Todd was suddenly becoming
masterful! Funny, but sweet
Mana, I wanna bottle of ginger

woke her from her reverie, his voice
shrill and petulant.

hated perversion of her name with
loathing. 'Nursemaid Nana!' Iris

answer was most emphatically ia

Not only would such a radio

DR.. Wilbur told him.
The next step was to present the
thought to the National Broad

good-but will the radio listener
have time for a program of th>t

broadcasters.

the "Cheerio" suggestion.
And so the program started. It's

selves contributed from aged
scrapbooks and hallowed mem
cries. Those who wrote asked
especially that their appreciation

broadcaStS.
Shortly before "Cheerio" started
his vacation the listeners were
especially requested to write their
opinion to the NBC. The response
was amazing, even in the face of
the letters that had come before
So vast was the response that it
was decided to increase the length
of the program to half an hour
and to offer it to many additional
stations besides the group that
had received it before.

"Cheerio" returns to the radio
audience tomorrow. He will bring
his message of inspiration and
cheer six mornings week there
after through WRC and associated
stations of the National Broad
casting Co.
The Cheerio program has not
been off the air, but "Cheerio"
himself, that near-mythical figure
that is the spirit and personality
of one of the most unusual broad
cast series in radio history, has
been on a vacation for the past
three months.
Two and a half years ago
"Cheerio" was a man with an idea.
Today he is national broadcast
figure known but unidentified by
an almost untold number of radio
listeners; his idea has made radio
history and he has demonstrated
beyond the shadow of doubt that
people listen to broadcaSting dur
ing the early morning hours. His
name has never been mentioned
on the air and his friends and
members of his cast are forbidden
to reveal his identity to any one.
Yet he receives more mail from
listeners than probably any other
single radio artist.
The idea which brought about
such a radical change in the opin-
ion of broadcaSters and so i'm
pressed the audience that listeners
arrange their work to hear the
programs is simple. It came tc
the man who calls himself
"Cheerio" while listening to the
morning health exercises.

"are f1ne-for those who are able
to enjoy them. But there are hun
dreds of invalidS, aged persons
and otherwise incapacitated indi-
vidualS who awake each morning
with another day to face-and are
unable to stimulate their bodies
with health exercises"
"a mental daily Dozen" the
man who has since called himself
"Cheerio" decided would be boon
for these sufferers. His thought

DOROTHY BUNDY, IL,
SHOWS TENNIS SKILL
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 13.-Another
budding star of the courts has arisen
to carry on the Sutton Bundy tradition
OF United States tennis.
Dorothy Bundy, 12-year-old daughter
OF the famous May Sutton Bundy, made
her Eastern debut in a senior tennis
tournament at the Eastern grass court
championships at Rye YESTERDAY and
acquitted herself we'll in eliminating
Mrs. Marquis James Of Rye in straight
sets.
The chances are against Dorothy
going much further in the present
championship. for she was matched
with Mary Greet, No. 2 in the nation
al girls ranking. in the second round.
but the well rounded game she ex-
hibited against Mrs. James promises
well for the future.
Dorothy comes of famous tennis
playing stock. Her mother, as May
Sutton, won the national singles title
in 1904 and the British singles cham
pionship in 1905 and 1907. Her father,
Tom c. Bundy, gained his chief tennis
renown as the doubles partner Of the
California comet, Maurice e. McLough-
lin. This pair held the national doubles
title in 19l2-13-14. Bundy was ranked
No. 2 behind w. A. Larned in the 1910
national listings and was placed at
No. behind Larned and Mclaughlin

only entrant in the championship cred

to the ofdcial championship pairings
made public by the United States Golf
Association today. Roland previously
had said that he is not certain to make
the trip and reiterated this statement
while in Washington recently on o

or considerable interest to many
Washingtonians, however, are the en-
tries OF George j. Voigt, who still Is q

Maurice j. Mccarthy, victor yesterday
in the New York State amateur title
event and a member Of the Washington

John S. Grimes Of Rolling Road, the
Maryland State amateur champion, and
Harry A. Wisotzkey of York, Pa, who
has played in several tournaments in
this sector and always has done well.
The qualifying rounds will be played
Monday and Tuesday, September and

2:05 Monday and 10:45 Tuesday.
There are 1872 entrants, Of whom 70
are from the West. Many Of the IA

the East are to be missing this year,
although none Of those who have a real
chance to 60 somewhere in the title
chase are among the stay-at-homes.
The East will send such strong play
ers as Sweetser, Ouimet, Mccarthy.

Eugene Romans, while the South will
be represented by the incompatible

such fine golfers as Don K. Moe. the

DR. o. F. Willing and Bob Stein.
Some Of the Western players have not
been heard of in the East. but many
of them are splendid golfers, who have
considered the trip East to the cham
pionship a little more than they could
make. Moe and Willing went to Brae
