with mice and sweet-peas from
the time he was q youngster.
In the last two years he had
become very scientific in his
researches. He h d black
mice and gray mice and al.
binos traced through several
dozen generations. Recently he
had developed a family Of
waltzing mice. These were the
delight of his heart.
They were also the delight
of young Bruce and the boys
in the neighborhood. Bruce
would do almost anything to
get Mamie from his brother.
She was his pet and boon COM
panion. She ate from his hand.
She ran up his sleeve or
perched on his shoulder. She
also answered when he spoke
at least he swore she did.
He now set the little crea-
ture down on Pippin's bed,
having first looked around to
be sure the cat was 20: in
evidence. He took a har-
monica from his pocket and
began to play.
Maybe you can breed these
mice, Dadee, but there's no
body can make Mamie dance
like can! Now you watch
her"
He ran the harmonica across
his lips and very gently tickled
Mamie's head. He played a few
strains. The mouse ran about,
twisting her body as she did. lit
was very funny.
Said Dadee: That's the way
she walks. She's a waltzer."
Bruce gave him a contemptu-
Gus glance and ceased his music.
Immediately the gay, prancing
little creature became still. She
perched on her hind quarters,
her little pink toes curled under
her and looked at Bruce intent
ly.
''Now-you see! She wants
me to play to her. If you would
just breed me about 100 Of these
mice, could make a lotta
money. Sly, that's an idea.
When we get poor, I could prob.
ably work my way through coll
lege training mice and giving
shows. Well-can I take her to
school next week?"
"Say-suppoSe she got hurt?
The Washington times., 1934-04-20

Suppose she curls up and dies
on me? The work Of years Is
gone! I'll tell you, Bruce
there's a new batch coming
along any day now. If I get the
walters expect, 70 ucan have
Mamie for keeps. But you've
got to clean the cage twice q
week the rest of your life"
"You mean really for keeps?
All my own and not bossed by
you? All right-it'S bargain!
You heard him, Pippin. Say,
Nom, come in here and be q
witnesS-1 get Mamie for keeps,
as soon as more walters get
born. You all heard now and
it's cross your heart to die!"
David'S Charge
Dadee grinned at his sister.
She picked a thread from the
lapel of his coat: "Shylock-the
rest of his life!"
Cant you picture him doing
it? How do I look?" He turned
suddenly from his own image
and glanced at Pippin. big
night for you, too? You look
great in blue. Are you giving
Gregg the gate? Girls are pretty
cruel, aren't they?"
Perhaps Nellie Armour thinks
boys are pretty cruel"
"Quick on the trigger, aren't
you?"
And maybe next year, Chris
tine will think it,"
"No! It's the real thing this
time. What dream!"
When Pippin was alone, she
surveyed herself and felt quiet.
The dress was sky blue, very
simple and clinging to her shad-
owy form. She looked her best
and she knew it, but Dadee's
words troubled her. She didn't
want to be cruel. didn't want
to think Of Gregg unhappy.

after all, you weren't here and

Helena may have said: Damn

was saying what a noble, cour-
ageous fellow you were the
night you left her sitting in the
automobile while you blandly
waved a taxi and got yourself
home, forgetting you'd brought
your little helpmate with you
when you got tangled up with
an emergency. She didn't fig
ure. You didn't even know you

David said: "Your mother has
never made me feel 1 was mar

ion Of other women, I suppose
she's had a horrible life"
Yeah, and loves it! There's
much in common, darling, be-
tween you and Tom O'Shanter.
He only needed a few good old
Scotch highballs to make him
forget the little cottage on the
hillside. All you need is a bust

Haven't you a good book

II have all the good books
I want to read. I suppose it

head and heart that an attrac-
tive young female like myself

Now, brimming with her own
Joy, she wanted all the world to
smile. Kevin was taking her
to the opera.
She visualized herself walk

such a flash about him. He
wouldn't notice; he would lower
his head and see only her
At 8 o'clock he hadn't ar
rived. At $50 the phone rang.
His voice was low, harassed,
full of regrets.
I'm awfuIly sorry, Pippin.

I'll meet you there later-I'll be
another hour, anyway"
TITS all right" she said
softly. "'Why, 1 don't care. I'll
wait. Don't worry about me-"
She put up the receiver,
blinked, and said: "Damn-oh,
damn"
David came from his study:
did I hear someone -Swear?"
Probably an echo from your
life-it's a wonder, I don't crack
out with oathS in church."
Her father grinned: "Were

She grinned into his face.
He was head and shoulders
above her.

Dadee? Is she very sweet?"
"Oh baby, she's sugar!"
Young Bruce with his freckles
and his ears stuck out and his
bright hair uncombed and dan
Cling in his eyes, stood at the
door. He had one hand in his
pocket.
"Hey, Bruce" said his older
brother, feed my mice and
clean out the cage and I'll give
you q dime"
"A dime? Guess you think
I'm a cheap skate. I got moth

Clean out the cage and feed
them and you'll give me a dime!
Don't you want me to sing to

Bruce halted abruptly with a
guilty look. A sudden series Of
funny squeaks came from the
direction If his pocket. He
started to run.
"Hey! Come back here!
Have you got Mamie in your
pocket?"
"Lemme alone! You'll scare
her!"
The young miscreant shook
off his brother and brought
forth from his pocket a large
white mouse. The little crea-
ture looked about, the bright
twinkling pink eyes focused in
terror.
"Now, see what you did! You
went and scared her to death!
I'll clean out the cage. I'll feed
all the rest of them, if you let
me take Mamie to school next
