answer right back. Goodness! Won
der what Uncle Charlie thought OF 1t?
I remember seeing him looking at It
number of times. He never liked
modernistics, and he's so sensitive to
color. Lack Of harmony in colors al
ways makes him Ill"
Then I'll bet he was plenty un'
comfortable while he was here" Eddie
said with a grin, looking as If he rel
ished the thought Of Uncle Charlie
feeling uncomfortable. Personally he
thought Uncle Charlie was stuck up,
but he didn't tell Sally so.
HE does such beautiful work, I'm
going to ask him to do landscape
for over the fireplace. A really good
painting Is needed there"
Yeah, but when are you going to
send that telegram"
Right away, dear. We ought to
have an answer by morning"
RuT the next day came and went
~ with no answer forthcoming, and
the next, and the next.
The members of the Darwin Art
Society gave q gasp. then said some
vague, polite things about it, and
hastily changed the subject. With
sigh OF relief Sally realized that it
hadn't come from them. She had
about decided that it was from the
members of Eddie's lodge when George
Dryer, supreme potentate Of the order,
said, indicating the painting: rs that
one of your new paintings, Sally?"
"That?" Sally looked startled. "Oh.
good heavens, no! mean-no-l-1
didn't do it."
mo, really? I understood that 1t
was one of your most recent endea-
vors. Well. I'm glad of it. I don't
know much about art. I admit, but
I think I can recognize something
good when see it. I've been study
ing it ever since I came in. and I'm
hanged If I can figure it out!"
That was almost too much for Sally.
She realized that every one must be
thinking the same thing. Well, she'd
put stop to that in hurry! As soon
as she found out who did do it she'd
see that they got the full credit for 1t!
She sent another, more strongly
worded telegram to Aunt Ella.
X X
THREE more days went by In 81
lence, then early the morning Of
the fourth day an answer came IN the
form Of q letter from Uncle Charlie.
They tore it open eagerly and
read
"Just came down from our cabin
up at Lake Jewell for supplies. I took
the liberty OF reading your wires to
Aunt Ella, fearing that something
might 60 wrong. There is-you are.
In answer to your inquiry IS to
who in blazes gave you that mon
strosity in oils-I did. And I will
have you know that it is one Of my
masterpieces. I did it last Summer
while in Europe and it is an exact
copy of Ramon Ravarro's modernistic
masterpiece, Mediterranean Glory 4
most beautiful and breath-takins
piece Of art"
"IIl say it isl" Eddie broke in. II
feel all choked up and smothered
every time look at it,"
Sally leaned weakly against the
door staring at the communication in
her hand with shocked eyes.
THE painting was bad enough-but
to think that Uncle Charlie-oh, Ed

Isn't a thing here but what can be

Eddie looked dubious. What are
you going to do with that?" He point
ed to a painting done in oils.
Sally stared at it uncertainty. A
student and lover Of art, and vice
president of the Darwin Art Society
she had viewed many works OF art
both good and bad, but never in hel
young life had she ever seen anything
that equaled this monstrosity.
From its heavy frame it fairly

asked, puzzled.

stated. II think it is supposed te

"Or something is right! 1t looks
like seven different sunsets on the
seven seas all in one to me. Wnere
are you going to put it?"
Sally turned and surveyed the cozy
tastefully furnished living room with
q critical eye and sinking heart
The only possible place 1t would GO
was over the fireplace in the most
conspicuous part of the room, and
there that monstrosity would stand
out like the proverbial sore thumb. II

II suppose we might-f no one

RUT the card was not to be found,
and the next few minutes were
spent in searching in vain for that bit
Of elusive information.
"It isn't around here any place.
I've even looked under the rug!" Eddie
said, crawling out from under the
table. Cant we just chuck it away,
anyway, and say it got busted, or
something?'
"Of course not-how like a man!
For all we know it may be from the
Darwin Art Society. only goodness
knows I hope not! Why, it may even
be from the members of your lodge.

Gee, I never thought of that!

Yes, but Aunt Ella took it with
