such a kick out Of it.
During Ronald's early teens Mr. Lummock
tried earnestly to maintain mental contacts
with his son by reading the same books that
Ronald read. These were an endless series of
volumes describing the adventures of q quartet
known as the Internal Combustion Boys, led
by an incredible hero named Ned. Dutifully
Mr.. Lummock followed the exploits Of the In
ternal- Combustion Boys Ahoat Ashore, Aloft
and Underseas. from pole to pole and even rs
far afield as the planet Mars. But somehow It
didn't bring him much closer to Ronald
Although the Lummocks agreed that their
son should have every educational advantage.
they were reluctant to send him to college last
Fall. It was 50 far from home, and he would
be away so long, Though they were still ur-
scathed by any parental inferiority complex,
they feared the worst. Suppose the higher edu-
cation should lift Ronald beyond their mental
reach? Perhaps when he came home he would

They're very pretty stories" her mother
serted. "and they're moral, too-which Is more
than I can say for this Oswald Wilde that
you're reading"
A S for Mr. Lummock, he still remembered
his distress at discovering when he had
come home from college for the Christmas holi-
days, that his grandfather wore made-up neck
ties and believed firmly In the therapeutic val
ues OF the horse chestnut. Furthermore, he
caught his own father remarking that the
world was a small place, after all.
So naturally, when little Ronald came to
brighten their household, Mr.. and Mrs. Lum-
mock resolved to keep up with their offspring,
mentally and physically. They would never
give him occasion to be ashamed Of his par
ents. They would treat him as an equal, with
that rare parental camaraderie you read about;
they would grow up with him persistently beat
ing down that invisible barrier which children
erect against their elders. ut will be like living

The intellectual companionship started al
most at once. Mrs Lummock read aloud to

little Ronald had learned his letters she let
him read aloud to her. He read very well. due
to the fact that he knew most Of the stories by
heart, and Mrs. Lummock listened as atten-
lively as If she had never heard them a hun
dred times before.
When Mrs. Lummock found Ronald and his
little schoolmates playing games in the house
she never dismissed them, as 50 many parents
do, by saying, "You children better 60 out in
the yard and play" On the contrary, she
joined in their sport wholeheartedly and be-

even invented several jolly games herself; but
their popularity was short-lived. and for some
