might have seen the keys.
Rita and Marylyn were no
longer the close friends they had
formerly been. The GOODNESS had
set in when Rita discovered that
came TO the house prin-
cipally to see her brother Michael
and not herself.
Now the two OF them were in
love and always SpOoning around
some place without so much as
inviting her with them, Michael
looked so important in his uni
form. After throwing an especially
virulent glare at Marylyn, Rita
started on new tact. She began
taking all he sheet music off the
top of the upright piano.
Marylyn whispered TO Michael:
"She doesn't like me. I'll bet
she hid the keys"

He felt miserable. Reaching out
for his ragged teddy bear he
buried his head upon 1t. His
mother pulled him up rather
sharply Timsey had never been

Quietly Mrs. O'Toolc said. "You

There was one last hope
Michael Sr. discovered a hole ir

the non-working fireplace. That
might be the answer.

brightly suggested Nh. O'Toole.
The idea was plausible. Young
Michael showed his hand into the
hole. The material was not toe

ripped the entire covering wide

filled with flying Stuffing.
