can get a bit used to the idea
n lExT day passed in a dream, and Judy
Y waited breathlessly for the promised call
from Vera. At last when she felt that she
could not endure another moment she saw Will
ton in the door.
"a gentleman calling you, Miss Vera" he said.
And Judy flew to the little phone cabinet In the
hall.
Hello, Judy. had John call-afraid old

"Oh, I'm so glad you've called. You must
come back at once Your uncle and cousin are
here-they came last night. I'm so scared all
the time for fear that I'll say or do something
to give you away. How soon can you meet me-
Vera?" Judy said.
THAT is what L called you about, child
I am going to fly to California with John
That gives us couple OF days more Delore ne

Judy John and are so happy. If no one has

Judy screamed softly into the phone, NO."

.It is your cousin-your cousin Stephen. he

Vera giggled "Well, all I have to say Is that

I don't want him. No, I won't listen to you.
I'll telegraph you my address in San Francisco
as soon as I arrive. Stick it out, Judy; don't be
a quitter. BY. DEAR" and the phone clicked
with dreadful inality in Judy's ear.
What mess" Judy thought II shall have
to go through with it, guess. Then I'll slip
out the last day and be Judy Burns again. He
will be hurt, perhaps. but not as badly as
shall be. I'll never get over it all my lfe-never

he said to a statuesque blond beside
him:
Cad! If had dancer in my show
that could look like that! You know,
that impossible little girl"
He blinked, as a tall Stormy-eyed
young male suddenly popped up in front
of him and fairly shouted, "Mr. Wahl-
berg! The girl that posed for that is
in your show now! Marcia Vane! She's
the most exquisite little dancer I ever
saw, and it was because she was SO
utterly lovely practicing your Nancy
Nursemaid" number, or whatever it is,
that I simply had to paint her! She
almost knows it, and you've got week
yet! She should have it! You're crazy
if she doesn't"
David Wahlberg raised quizzical eye
brows. Him." he commented, think Of
that! Well, suppose you tell her to come
in and see me before rehearsal to-
morrow morning!"
Marcia sighed a long and blissful sigh
and shifted her head to a more COM
Portable position just south of Geoffreys
left lapel.
Zone hundred a week for the run of
the show" she murmured ecstatically,
"and first go at all the topnotch stuff
afterward! Oh! And the best looking
beau in the country! Not bad!"
Geoffrey absently kissed a dark curl
that was tickling his chin.
Second prize in the Littlefield 1888
Exhibit" he informed the large, benign
moon drifting past, "and $3.50 sale! Oh,
and the dearest, sweetest little dancing
girl in the world. Not bad!"
There was a long pause.
"Picklepanties-" Marcia began.
GOOD old PicklepantieS," interrupted
Geoffrey. Wen send him a birthday
present every year. But you won't have
time for more than that, darling, because

And Just then the moon slipped into
little cotton wool cloud, SO Marcia de-
clded that it really wasn't worth while
TO blush!

you have tobacco heart you can't carry
the message to Garcia"
"Well, maybe that's break for old
man Garcia" argued. II knew fellow
who carried message to Garcia once.
He tramped for days through fever-rid-
den Swamps, swan rivers and almost got
killed by hostile savages. But he finally
got through and delivered the message
to Garcia. And what do you think it
paper! Garcia was so sore he kicked
him off the front porch"
"Uncle Hub doesn't use tobacco in
any FORM" Eustace continued, ignoring
my little allegorical DEPRESSION. He says
it's vile weed"
$50 it is" I agreed "But you Just
wait till some cigarette company offers
him nice fat radio contract Then
he'll change his tune"
Nevertheless Eustace's loyalty to Uncle
Hub remained unshaken, and his ap-
praising glanceS gave me a decided in
feriority complex. My prize card trick
the one in which the ace of spades jumps
out of the deck-no longer held him
spellbound. Playing cards." he declared,
"are the devils picture books. Uncle
Hub says they have caused more misery
than all the wars in history"
"Uncle Hub" I observed, must play
bridge with his wife"
"You mean with Aunt Nettie?" in
quired little Eustace. "Oh, no! She and
Uncle Hub don't play any gambling
games. When they play a game they
play purely for the sport of it. Uncle
Hub says Aunt Nettie is more than a
wife. She's pal"
"Ill bet she isl" I conceded bitterly.
That evening, to bolster my dwindling
Sen-esteem, drank three highballS and
then sang "The Man on the Flying Trap
eze." I sang it as it had never been
sung before, swinging from the chan
delier by my toes and delivering each
line with appropriate gesture.
"Uncle Hub says that alcohol destroys
the tissues of the BRAIN" Eustace stated
when I had finished. "He says that he
promised his dear old mother years ago
that he would never"
"All right" I groaned feebly. ''You
win. Hurrah for Uncle Hub!" My hu-
initiation was complete. was beaten.
But yesterday I saw an item in the
paper which made me very happy. Mrs.
Annette Speckelbaum was granted di-
vorce today" it read, from Herbert G..
Speckelbaum, better known as Uncle
Hub of radio fame. Mrs. Speckelbaum
charged that her husband was habitual
drunkard, and that while intoxicated he
frequently kicked her, used abusive Ian
guage and boasted of his affairs with
other women. Speckelbaum did not con-
test the suit"
I have clipped the item, and if little
Eustace ever quotes Uncle Hub at me
again intend to show it to him. Per-
haps it is cruel to shatter his childish
illusions so abruptly. But I feel that
it's high time the lad learned something
Iabout the facts of life-and uncles.

that reminds me, George. peeked into
the nursery the other day, and what do
you think I saw? I saw you playing
with a doll. Yes, sir, George Wildersnip
playing with doll! Of course, you were
only 4 years old then. But now that
you're S, know that you won't play
with dolls any more. No, sir! You're
no sissy-boy. And I've got surprise
for you, George something better than
dolls. If you go and look behind the
sideboard in the dining room, you'll find
a brand-new popgun-just like Daniel
Boone used, only smaller. Yes, sir! Happy
birthday, Georgie!"
But Georges birthday is not happy.
He does not know that his parents, dis
turbed by his sentimental attachment
to an old flannel doll named Maggie,
have connived with the powers that
broadcast. He only knows that his secret
weakness has become common knowledge
to every one-including the kids across
the street.
Thus the radio mentor, invisible and
omniScent, exposes such youthful follies
as nail-biting, thumb-Sucking, bread
crust-leaving and Saturday night hydro
phobia, shaming the sinners into refor-
nation.
There is no denying that the synthetic
uncleS of the air are force for good
in the community. They are on the
side of the angels every day-for at least
Is minutes. But they make it tough
for the genuine fiesh-and- blood uncles
who are on the job "a hours day. Their
standard of virtue is too high.

Then, along with the rest of his con-
temporaries, little Eustace began listen

radio. He soon became steadfast dis
ciple-he demanded the prepared cereal
recommended by Uncle Hub; his table
manners improved; he showed an eager
ness to run errands and make himself
useful around the house; he never sulked
any more. His parents rejoiced, and SO
did lat first.
But as time went on I realized that I
was falling in his estimation like an
Autumn leaf in Vallombrosa. He no

day as I was blowing big, slow ring

BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

taught the relation Of agriculture to
the Civil War and to other political
events Studies of rural population
movements, Of agricultural societies.
Of political activities of farmers and
of farm economics are included.
Comprehensive courses on the SCI
ence of statistics are available. There
is a great deal more to statistics than
columns Of figures. The fundamental
mathematical assumptions underlying
correlation methods are handled and
the student is instructed not only In
how to gather statistics, but how to
read and interpret them in such a
manner as to assist In arrival at sig
ni1cant conclusions.
Broadens Opportunities for Clerks
One can get a foundation In busi-
ness law at the Graduate School. A
course is available which traces the
development Of commercial law from
the earliest times. This necessarily
brings in collateral studies Of the his
tory Of navigation and communication.
While the course will scarcely admit
one to the bar. 1t will provide broad
groundwork for more intensive and
general studies in the law.
There Is also available q course In
administrative law. This Is especially
valuable for Government employees
intending to make career out Of the
civil service. There Is q growing
tendency toward career work in the
Government service, following the
practice in European countries. The
administrative law course provides the
student with a thorough knowledge
of the intricacies of applying the
statutes to the work of the Federal
branches.
There are many purely scientific
courses. One important one deals
with soils and fertilizers. This goes
into not only the effect Of various
kinds Of fertilizers on soils but the
