of his uncle's theater Tommy had
let Mr.. Hoffman invest that money
for him.
Already the investment was turn
ing sour. 1t would be years very
likely, before Tommy could realize
on it.
No, Irene couldn't throw him over
now, or put him of again. At least
Tommy tried to tell himself she
couldn't, but deep in his heart he
knew that he was afraid.
His fingers trembled bit as he
reknotted his tie. Why wouldn't
the damn thing come right!
Whew, it was hot! What night
to spend in a motion picture pro-
lection booth. Darned old ark Of
building anyway.
If his uncle wanted to oWn an
up-to-date theater, why didn't he
build one, instead of expecting a
fellow to give good shows in this
hole? He sure needed a manager,
all right. What a job!
OF course, Tommy shouldn't have
been so irritable when he was
dressing to call on Irene. He was
going to have his uncle's car, too,
for an hour. Then he'd have to
dump his girl and go to work.
Hanged if he could feel grateful
about it, although Mr.. Hoffman had
made quite point of his kindness
in letting Tommy have the car.
Funny how the old geezer-
Tommy's disrespectful thought broke
off as he snapped the tie from his
neck in disgust and chose another.
What mess they were! His aunt
used to do something about them.
This one went along fairly well
and TommyS thoughts returned to
his uncle? What had come over
him? He was a lot more consider
ate of late, but there was something
queer about the change in him.
something furtive and suppressed,
1t puzzled Tommy-had puzzled
him for several days. Just like a
cat that's eaten the canary" he
thought.
What was the old boy up to? He
couldn't be thinking of getting
married again. Not so soon! Tommy
considered this prospect with hor-
ror.
His chain of thought was inter-
rupted by the entrance of Uncle
George, who came in with news for
Tommy and an air of nonchaIanee
that was far from being genuine.

The device sends electrical i'm

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
DRENTISS did not kiss Irene. He
Il wanted to very much and as a
rule when he wanted to kiss a girl
he kissed her. But he was not 60
ing by rule with Irene.
He was falling in love with her
and knew it. That made fellow
feel different. Tt made him afraid.
Girls aren't all alike, he knew.
They did not all admire cayeman
tactics.
And so Irene was left to specu-
late until she fell asleep upon the
way she stood with him. She
couldn't tell. She didn't know him
we'll enough.
For little after his failure to kiss
her she had been on the verge Of
jumping out Of the car, bidding him
a short goodnight, and setting her
self to being true to Tommy.
Then she saw that his failure to
take advantage Of the invitation
her lips offered was due to self
restraint. Her vanity could not suf-
fer in memory Of that-the way his
arms had dropped away from her
when she was certain he was going
to embrace her-and the eagerness
with which he exclaimed, mo,
please don't go!"
She had sat with him a while
longer, but conversation was Of
little help to either Of them, as they
merely fenced with words.
Finally, Il must go, really"
Irene said with a show of reluc-
tance that was measured to a care
full degree.
Prentiss found in it no hot-headed
rebellion against parental authority
such as he had encountered with
some girls, but only a sweet
obedience that delighted him.
The wistful note at parting de-
lighted him, too. Tt was so per-
fectly in keeping with the romantic
spell the night had woven over him,
Prentiss was one of those roman
GERS who find flavor in the thought
of living in medieval days by i'm
sgining themselves kings or princes
never serfs.
Irene had given him something
to hope for. So nice a girl could not
give more. He wondered at him
self. Other times and he'd have
told the girl frankly that it was a
ridiculous hour to say goodnight.
Why, it was only about IL o'clock,
according to the clock on the in
strument panel of his car. Some
how, that seemed a proper bedtime
hour for Irene.
THE girl was little disappointed
Il that he let he 60 so readily.
She expected a repetition of his
first objection.
But, thinking 1t over as she I'M
dressed for bed, she knew that he
had not let her go because he was
bored at the end of the evening,
but because she had impressed him
with her innocence.
That was all right but what did
1t mean for him to think her a
dear, dutiful daughter? Was he
falling for her? That was what she
wanted TO know.
Her inability to answer this cues
ton caused her to be grumpy the
next morning at breakfast. in spite
Of the fact that she could gloat a
little over having taken Beryrs adj

Practical Bottles
It's difficult for any mother
to keep at hand all the things
that every baby needs every
day. A portable tray, such as
the little painted wicker one un-
derneath the plate, takes the
necessary oil, cotton and boric
acid anywhere they're needed.
And keeps each one air-tight
in its own hand-painted bottle
all three pink or blue to
match the tray. Wouldn't any
mother appreciate the time and
steps such a practical and
lovely gift would save her? The
set just about $3.50.
Animal Pattern
If your gift doesn't arrive at
least within the first few
months, it's likely that the
baby's sitting up lone. And a
chair has quite different feel
ing from the little bed-or even
grown-up arms-that a baby's

for just 81, will solve the prob
