CHAPTER XVI

Rlcky and Nell had a great shin
ing trust in Life; never doubted
they would have their dream.
They hadn't a penny beyond
their Scantiest needs. They
couldn't get on a train and ride
away from the heat that now rose
in thick, torpid, sitting waves.
They could only rise on their Sun.
day mornings, pack a lunch
wrapped in wet cloth and journey
to one Of the nearby beaches.
Even arriving very early, they
had difficulty finding a secluded
spot. BY noon the sands were
crowded; the air hung hot, heavy,
motionlesS; humanity crowded in.
But these two blissful fools lay
near the waters edge so that the
waves washed over them, and
dreamed Of a tree near an icy
lake in some far western world.

breezy mountain top. Some of

lore you boil over completely!"
It was too hot to bulge from the
room of an evening; then it was
too Smothering to remain there.
Often they sat at the rivers edge,
their bare feet trailing in the
muddy waters. Cool anyway.
Quite late they returned. Some
times they bought ice cream. They
raped on a door across the hall.
Mamie came with a little excited
rush to join them.

The steak was tender and" de.

held a section appraisingly on
his fork: You never got this
meat for so cents, Nell. You're
fibbing."
It was a matter Of stubborn
pride that his money must buy
these meals.

outrageous sum for meat. Just
for two. We never have steak at

Nell was secretly shocked each
week at the expenditure. En-
kept the months meat bill down

had to.
But Ricky was eXtravagant.
He'd be careful with his million,
SO he said, but only a genius can
divide an atom. He was Scrupu-
lous about his obligations such as
rent. For the rest, when he had
money, he ate; when it was gone,
he did without. Never saved any
thing.
This frightened Nell. Finally
she overaWed him. Each Wednes-
day, as now, brushing aside the
dishes, he laid his salary on the
table with a resigned: Parcel it
out, MiSsus! I'm no good with
money"

concerned, insisted on q budget.

Nell wouldn't agree. Two dol.
lars had to be set aside for the
suit Ricky so woefully needed.
Each week he battled: Look
here, Nell. I need that 50 for
something special. This suit will
do till I get better job"

Hiding a grin: when we were

Mice to a mothers eye," said
Nell whimsically, "the police

She took the 50, adding it to
the envelope marked "Ricky's new
suit"
He watched her with proud, adj
miring eyes. When she sat on the
couch, he took a stool at her feet,
clasping his arms about her waist:

hand tenderly over his hair.

Now this, as Volney we'll knew, was an out

and the only element of truth in it was the

her general air of senile decrepitude. The rest
was absolutely impromptu, part of the effect
that Wash always had on him.

"My, my, who would have thought it?"

Until then, Wash's interest in Volney's

mothers age had been Disappointing to say
the least. But at this invitation, his manner
changed. Affecting great curiosity, he smiled
at Volney, motioned him to lead the way.
Volney had sudden sense of guilt, yet was
unable to stop. They went into Mrs. Knights
room, and Volney went brazenly to the dress
ing table, extracted diary. 1t was very
secret document, and not even Mr.. knight
was allowed to look at it, but Volney thu,nbed
to the birthday entry and blandly held it up
to Wash. Wash glanced at it, said "I1l be
damned" and, somewhat mechanically, began
to saunter around the room.
Volney started to put the diary back, but
couldn't resist the temptation to read the
last weeks entries. 1t had been some days
since he had peeped at the forbidden book,
and its contents, particularly its remarks
about people, always fascinated him. But the

latest addenda were chiefly about luncheon
engagements and the cost of groceries. With
sigh he put the book back, exactly as he had
found it.
When he looked up, Wash was standing be-
side the bed, very queer look on his face.
Again Volney had sense of guilt, and led the
way back to his own room. wishing he could
take it all back.
II guess you got to make allowance for
them at that"
1t was complete about-face, and he was
afraid Wash would laugh at him. But Wash
didn't. He agreed with an alacrity that verged
on glibness. "Why sure They're human"
yeah, that's the tough part. They may be
old, and they may be dumb, but they're still
your mother, aren't they?"
That's it."

That's the stuff. How about few strokes?"
They got out the rackets and practiced

-DALK at the table was about the
situation that had developed at
the Country Club, where there
were thefts. On several occa-
sions, money had disappeared from
lockers, to say nothing of other valu-
ables missing under equivocal circun-
stances. MIR. Knight, who was men,
Der of the House Committee, let it be
known, by sundry hints, that traps had

part about traps. But tonight he found

would, to place himself at the center of
it.
When Wash Lewis was at dinner, as
he was tonight, Volney felt a feverish
compulsion to be at the center of every
thing; indeed. Wash filled Volney with
such show-off tendencies that he was
unable to be himself, or even to eat.
This was partly because of Wash's per-
sonality, and it was partly because
Wash was an outstanding tennis player,
and had to be impressed, whether by
Volney's making faces, throwing the
left thumb out of joint, churning spit
between the teeth, or any other device

Aim of Committee

Appointment Of a select House
committee to make a complete
study Of governmental agencies
with a view to reducing duplica-
ton and overlapping is expected
to be authorized today.
The House is scheduled to con-
slider the Bankhead resolution call
ing for such a com. ittee. and
there was little doubt that it will
be approved.
Although not specified, the
House committee is expected to
act in concert with similar CON-
mittees which already have been
named by President Roosevelt and
the Senate.
Sponsored by Byrd
The movement to study govern
mental agencies originated some
months ago with Senator Harry F..
Byrd CD of Virginia.
After approval by the Senate,
naming Senator Byrd chairman
of the select Senate committee,
President Roosevelt asked the
Senate group to act jointly with
similar House committee and
one which he would appoint.
It was suggested in some quar-
tiers that the President had taken
this action in the belief that the
Senate committee, working alone,
would heap too much criticism
upon his Administration.
"SOft Pedal" Seen
It is believed that the three
committees, working together, will
soft pedal any severe denunciation
of the Administration which the
Senate committee alone might
have provoked.
Under the authority given the
committees, they would report to
Congress whether the activities OF
any of the governmental agencies
conflict with or overlap the &C.
tivitieS of any other such agency
and whether, in the interest Of
simplification, efficiency and
economy, any of such agencies
should be coordinated with other
agencies or abolished. or the per-
sonnet thereof reduced"
It is believed that the commit
tee will not undertake any active
work until the campaigns are CON-
pleted next fall.
