"He had been ailing for long time
but, of course, you wouldn't know,
or care! His heart failed in the end"
"But I've written to him regularly" "
Helen protested 1--WE always asked
how he was, and he never said any
thing. And hadn't Tad line from
him for several weeks
$50 you really began to take notice
when the money didnt come right
on the dot" snapped Mr.. Peabody.
HELEN sat back hopelessly. 1t was
obvious that Mr.. Peabody was de-
termined not to be friendly, or helpful.
What was the matter? Could it be
that Grandfather's money was really
gone, and that Mr.. Peabody was dis
get part Of it?
Helen was not kept long in doubt.
They drove up the long drive that led
to the big wooden house, and she
noted that it seemed much in need Of
repair. At the door, Mrs. Peabody
was waiting. She was heavy, red
faced woman, and she stared stolidly
at Helen as the girl descended from
the car and climbed the steps.
Mrs. Peabody's greeting was brief
and stiff. She led Helen into the
cold, silent house and showed her to
O. room on the second floor. She
turned at the door.
Come downstairs as soon as you
can" she said shortly. Mr.. Pea
body wants to talk to you, and tell
you what's what"
Helen watched the door click shut
behind the woman and she shivered
n little, She had occupied this room
before, and it had always seemed
rather forbidding, with its high cell
ings, its gray, cherries wall paper and
its one old-fashioned window. But
today, even with the late afternoon
sun pouring In on the faded carpet,
At was even worse than usual It
seemed to express the whole atmos-
phere Of her welcome in Shelton
yille-cold, hostile, ominous.
CHE had brought up one of her bags,
~ but she did not stop to unpack It.
She merely ran a comb through her
hair and hurried from the room. Out
side she paused for moment, lean
ing on the banister that ran around
the wide stair well.
That door directly across the hall
it led to the room her grandfather
had occupied. She had been in that
room only a few times, but she re-
membered that it was huge, a COM
bined bed room and living room in
which old Mr.. Chandler had spent
much of his time. Probably that was
where he had passed his last hours.
Helen shivered slightly and hurried
down the stairs.
MIR. and Mrs. Peabody were watt
ing for her in the ''parlor." They
sat stifdy in their chairs, and docu-
ment bound In heavy blue paper lay
on Mr.. Peabody's knees. He looked
up as she entered, and nodded toward
a chair. Helen took it and looked at
him expectantly.
This is your grandfather's will" ;"
said Mr.. Peabody, indicating the doc
ument. "You can read 1t later, but
I'll tell you the main provisions now"
Helen nodded and continued to
look at him. She could not guess
what she was about to hear, but in
stinctively she knew that the news
would not be good.

More than 100 years ago it was the

Helen gasped. You mean,' she
faltered, that there won't be any
thing-not anything at all?"
Not a penny!" snapped Mr.. Pea
body. Besides this house, your grand
fathers real estate includes three or
four other houses in Sheltonville.
They'll bring barely enough to pay

He put that in the will"
But how about me?" demanded
Helen. Where will I live? ! have no

She heard Mrs. Peabody sniff. Mr..
Peabody's lips became grim, straight

You should have thought of that
when you were squandering your
grandfather's money" he snapped. II

As Mr.. Wilson's nickname was Uncle
Sam, the name soon became aSso-
ciated with the initials which he
stamped on the Government meats,
and before long the United States be-
came personified in the figure Of
Uncle Sam"
The original Uncle Sam was a short
plump gentleman, so it was not his
portrait which was developed in the
long. lanky person we know in car
toons as our Uncle Sam.

tap dancing, soloiSts, using the
microphone if they must, and a

What I like about it is this de

on what it takes to score foot
light bullseye. Says he:
r"Genius my eye! Don't trust
to inspiration, girl. You've got
to time everything-every laugh
every tear-every step you
take across the stage. Keep
your ears and eyes open for au-
dience reaction. If you hear
cough, speed up-yOu're losing
them. If they sit so quiet you
can hear a pin drop in the lobby,
they're in the palm Of your hand.
Listen for every sigh, even in the
emotional scenes, even when
you're tearing up the scenery.
They're the actors, the gals and
boys who lay down cold cash at
the box office. Make them act
with you. You're the doctor
keep your finger on their pulse
and count heart-beatS."
This is as true as the gospel
