nice Wade apartment to
ShredS. He was ugly and I'M
calmly. He had no manners.
He chewed everything from
chair legs 10 table cloths and
bed sheets. Mrs. Torland stood
him in the house two days and
then she laid down the law.
Jim" she told her huS-
band, either that dog gets
out of here or l do. At once"
So Mr.. Torland called up
his father and told him the
news.

are you a man or a milksOp"
Why don't you let her go?
She'll be back"
But Jim apolOglzed and
grandpa sent a man for the
dog.
He was gone when Wade
got home. Wade looked all
over the apartment for him
and then he faced his mother.
Where's Sooner, mother .?
he demanded.
Mrs. Torland looked al her
son and a ridiculous chill of
fear struck her.
"You mean that awful dog.
dear? ." she asked. "Why, he
was so messy around the
house and he tore up so many
thing that ! asked grandpa to
take him back. The man came
for him today"
Wade looked at her with a

IF YOU had told the Tor
L lands that they were rum
me the life of their son. Wade,
and depriving him of his child
hood. they would have smiled
Supercihously because they
were that kind of people and
would have referred you 10
his daily routine which. they
thought, would prove other
wise.
At u years of age, he had
his own car and his own
chauffeur 10 drive him 10
Kindling's exclusive private
school every morning. He had
any sort of toy he wanted.
He had a tuxedo in which
10 dress when he went TO the
formal little dances that were
part of the curriculum of his
dancing school. He went 10
concerts with his mother.
He read the best of boys
books, not your cheap car
ICONS and your dime novels
but good, wholesome books
that gave the juvenile reader
a fine knowledge of history,
geography and sciences while
telling an interesting story.
All Wade ever had to do
was TO express a wish for any
thing. If it were fitting that
he should have it, it was In
the apartment before he could
say Jack Robinson. Yes, he
had everything "a boy could
wish for and yet he wasn't
happy.
Mrs. Forfand was remark
ing it to Mr.. Torland for the
hftieth time in a month.
The Indifference of her son
annoyed her. She pretended
it was alarm but it was just
annoyance.
She was a woman of a very
determined blondeness in her
early forties, pretty in an
irritated way. She had never
quite forgiven nature for
sending Wade TO her after 10
years of a married life IN
which no provision had been
made for children.
SHE'S HAUNTED BY FEAR
When he arrived, of course,
she adored him. She was
haunted by the fear that now
that he was here, she might
lose him. So all his life, she
had smothered him with per-
Sonal attention and attendants
while, at the same time.
Strangling his more vulgar i'm
pulses.
Hence the private school, so
that he would have no contact
with any boys but those who
were as good as he was.
Hence the private car and
chauffeur. who really was
guard who kept him from
debaSing contacts.
Hence. the best of boys
books so that Vul & arity
wouldn't enter his life via the
printed word. And hence the
granting of his every worthy
wish.
Privately, Mrs. Torland was
annoyed by her sons in
gratitude. He took no in
terest in anything.
Wade was a nice kid. He
was good looking. He had
blue eyes and smiling
mouth. He spoke softly. not
only because of his training
but because he was inherently
gentle.
HIS manners were so perfect
that you didn't notice them,
unless you were the mother
of an uncouth stripping who
knocked the house apart as
soon as he came in.
Then you held up Wade as
an example. And then your

alarm and notified the bureati
of missing persons. The papers
all carried the story with the
strong hint that he had been
kidnapped.
The newspapers reported
the size of the Torland for
tune, which was considerable,
and everybody waited for the
kidnapers to send their ram
some note.
HE KNOWS HIS JOB
When it didn't come. the
Torlands. especially Mrs. Tor
land was frantic.

warnings; taken chance
Which would have been wiser?
