lows, you hlOW, dlt HLSlI'S lily
people. And there's the National
Bank that Mr.. Wlnslow's presi-
dent Of
You don't go to bed with a
bank" GrandpaW reminded him
and stared at him out of his little
eyes. Grandpaw was little all over
now but he had been a big man
once. Over six feet.
And the WinSloWS are all right
this generation" he continued.
Two generations ago they were
MT. Pete WinsloW, Johns grand
father, would steal anything that
wasn't nailed down.
Il don't suppose John would,
being president of the National
Bank. But you'll notice that there
is never a Peter in the WinsloW
family for the last two genera
lions. That's because old Pete
was such a disgrace.
Now, looka here, George, l
figure you're going to marry 'LlVia
Winslow Just because your mother
wants you to. And l tell you
you're making a mistake. What
about you and Mary Lovett?"
JUST FRIENDS
"Oh, there's nothing between
me and Mary Lovett, Gramp,"
George smiled. We're Just
friends. If 1 tried to be anything
else to Mary, she'd either laugh
at me or crash down on me-"
George" GrandpaW's eyes be-
gan to twinkle with anger, that's
damn lie. You know Mary's in
love with you. She has been since
you were knee high to ducks.
And you love her, too, though
that mother of yours has got you
believing different. You ever tell
her you liked her?"
II don't have to-" George ad-
mitted ruefully.
Hmm" Grandpaw grunte d
thoughtfully.
you're too soft. George"
Grandpa said. ESPECIALLY where
your mothers concerned. That
comes of being an only child.
She's babied you and bullied you
all your life until you don't know
your souls your own.
You got to be your own man
in this world, son. You can't
have any woman telling you what
to do, no matter how much you
think of her. And 'Livia's one of
the telling" type"
What have you against Olivia,
Gramp?" George asked.
Nothing except she's a Wins
low and she's nigh and mighty.
That family got their money in
too big hurry They didn't age
in the wood with it. She's like
the rest of them. She's a snob.
AnC I don't like Snobs"
A long. 1ow-Slung roadster slid
around the barn from the road.
Behind it was a blonde girl with
arrogant eyes and a petulant
mouth. She was pretty and fin
ished." She ignored Grandpa.
George" she scolded, have
you forgotten we we're to go to
NO" George drawled. II hadn't
forgotten. I got to talking to
grandpaw."
oh" Olivia said, seeming to
notice the old man for the first
time. How do you do, Mr.. Turn
bell"
DOING ALL RIGHT
I'm doing ali right" the old
man said Solemnly, although there
was a twinkle in his eye. Il feel
spry enough to get married again.
1 cont care what Clara, Georges
ma. says about it."
Married." Olivia gasped. why,
why"
why not?" the old man rasped.
Didn't you see that notice in the
paper about the old fellow, "a,
who had his second baby. A
mans never too old to get mar
ried!"
He was chuckling when Mary
Lovett swirled into the yard on a
big bay stallion. She was dark
and vivaciouS and laughing. She
looked like an Indian and her
back was as straight. She sat
there smiling down at him.
where's George" she asked.
"He's gone off with 'Livia Win
SLOW" he Informed her. Mary,
what would you think if 1 went
and got married."
why" she said, studying him,
eff you're in love with somebody,
I don't see what else you can do.
Are you, Mr.. Turnbel?"
Il haven't made up my mind"
he told her darkly. I'm going to
think it over. Mary, why don't
you see George oftener You let
him alone so much he has to turn
to 'Livia for company And she's
no company for my grandson.
She's a Winslow."
unfortunately" Mary said
sadly, Its the custom for the
gentleman to seek out the lady,
and the gentleman hasn't chosen
me this summer. Something's
gotten into George"
Its his mother, Mary" Grand
paw said. She gets into every
thing she shouldn't. I'm glad
you're not against my worrying
again. I'll tell George you were
here"
But he never did get around to
telling George. When they were
together at the dinner table, the
