Finding Congress About to Demand

mined to Wrest from his hitherto
confidential files the names of all

checks. and realizing that he is un-
able to conceal all the facts. Secre-
taTy of Agriculture Wallace has
finally consented TO give to Congress
and to the country a full accounting
showing where the "big money
went. The Secretary discovered that
his letter to the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, that cited a few pay
ments, did not satisfy; he saw the
Senate intent on having a real show
down. So he reluctantly abandoned
his ridiculous alibis and announced
that he would produce the record.
The record thus far forced from
Wallace contains an imposing array
of large A. A. A. checks. but the list
is far from complete; il reveals the
name of only one big beneficiary.

he'd never met Aunt Isabel.

Allan, but do you think I could?
We met a lot after that first time
and I kept trying to break it to him
gently.

said. There's look in them. Not
just an ordinary look. but the sort

which always made me believe he
could handle all the Aunt Isabels a

We arranged to meet Aunt Isabel
in Henry's cocktail bar. That sounds
like flying in the face of providence
and so I considered it, but Allan
insisted.

who couldn't keep appointments on
time; she jawed without interrupt
ton till $50. Allan was still among
those missing.
Henry came around again with an
other suggestion-that we should drink
ginger ale. Aunt Isabel, rather to
my amazement, agreed. She was
burned up about Allan's tardiness,
but all the more determined to wait
it out; in order to tell him a thing
or two, suppose.
HENRY outdid himself In atten-
tiveness; we'd hardly have the
last drop of one glass of ginger ale
down our outlets when he'd be Johnny
on-the-spot with another. Aunt Isa-
bel, preoccupied with thinking hard
thoughts about Allan. kept singing
them into her with abandon.
I was fairly preoccupied myself, but
I noticed after a while that very
ISabels face. She always has a
funny look, of course. But this one
was a different kind of funniness.
I was on the point of asking her
if she was i'll when she broke into
Song-literally; thing, to my knowl-
edge, she had never done before.
My chin dropped to my clavicle as
Aunt Isabel crooned in surprisingly
good, husky, torch-singing voice,
You're the one, you little son-of-a-
gun" Her phrasing was good, though
the diction was something blurred.
At this point Allan appeared, being
only little over an hour late. I
was still too astonished at Aunt Isa-
bells strange behavior to be perturbed.
Allan looked down coldly, first at
Aunt Isabel, then at me.

tuous gesture, sis this old stew bum

and suddenly the scales dropped
from my eyes. I ceased to give my
celebrated imitation of a frightened
fawn, and drew myself up to my
full height. Aunt Isabel was busily

stood grinning, deal kindly with this
poor woman" He pointed at Aunt
Isabel, still busy with the non-existent
flies. Allan went on, I'VE are leav-

bauchery is less famboyant."
Henry grinned again. "Oh, and

their car with complete camp out
fit, including tent to cover the
machine and also provide sleeping

slowly westward. They expect to
reach the coast by autumn and
will pass the winter in California.
