but Aunt Olympia felt that her plan
had been somewhat Of failure.
Now suddenly all this was changed.
Cecil had become ubiquitous, con-
stantly underfoot, as Olympia COM
planned. When Dave, who had come
to rely on him, fatty ordered him
off on certain missions, he went. but
with reluctance.
"He's beginning to miss the so
fas," said the Senator sympatheti-
cally. That's the worst thing about
cushions-they become habitual."
"Oh, I knew he couldn't keep it
up" grumbled Aunt Olympia.
''These fireworks that 60 off with
the biggest explosion always sput-
ter out first" ..
Still, Dave assured her, once he
was dragged away from the insidi-
Gus comforts of Shires or the chubby
attractions of the trailer encourage,
he worked both hard and well; like
dog" Dave said; land does what
he's told"
On Saturday when the cavalcade
returned to Shires for rest and reno
walton, Dave said he and Cece would
60 to town and do some intensive
groundwork at Headquarters. Cece
objected; objected gently, but firm
ly. He said he needed rest and
renovation as much as anybody.
Call up Headquarters and tell
'em we're coming" said Dave firm
ly. Aunt Olympia gave him his hat.
On Sunday, except for the visit
of Len Hardesty, which they had
come to expect, the day was rest
fully calm and quiet. And then, on
Monday evening, as they were hav-
ing coffee in the cool of the east
veranda, Hilda announced disap-
provingly.
"1ts Mr.. Dodd on the phone and
he wants Miss Limpy."
You could have knocked Aunt
Olympia down with a feather. She
said so herself, at least a hundred
times in the days that followed. She
couldn't open her mouth. She just
sat, as if she had indeed been
knocked there.
Limpy ran back from the tele-
phone. "Oh, Aunt Olympia, Cece
says the Young Democrats are get
ting up a dance rally at the Fire
House and if he comes and gets
me and drives carefully and brings
me back early, may I go?"
Aunt Olympia, still suffering from
the 'eather-blow, couldn't speak.
would you like to 60, girls?"
asked the Senator mildly.
did he invite all of US, Limpy?"
asked Adele significantly.
"Um-ah-well-a not
specifically. I'll 60 and ask him,
shall I? He only mentioned me-a
small party, I believe"
Aunt Olympia came to. "You can't
CO." she said in strangled voice.
"You can't 60 a step. And you
needn't say 'Aw, Uncle Lancy,' for
I'm running this nursery and you
can't 60"
HE says all right" announced
Limpy. ''He doesn't care about the
dance. He says he'll come over
and make a report to the Senator"
"You call him right up, Del, and
tell him to stay where he is and not
interrupt our rest with any reports.
Won tell him To stay where he is and
do as Dave tells him. Here I am,
just getting somewhere with my ex-
temporaneous speech and now get
ting all upset about Limpy You
cali him right up. Del. Tell him
when we want him we'll send for
him" Aunt OLYMPIA tried to still
the under-chin with a few fierce
iabs. with a feather" she NUT
tered feebly.
On Tuesday morning, a surprising
announcement temporarily distract
ed her from her maternal anxiety.
Every paper in the state announced
that Governor Wilkie had suddenly
decided the time was ripe for him
to make the most important speech
of the campaign over a nationwide
