That's right. And the take-home pay
doesn't leave much over for extras So got
this job. didn't tell Ed, of course. He'd
have fit"
He is subject to fits?"
He wants me to lie down and rest"
Il think he is right
.'Oh. he's right, all right, but how can I?
I've got to hustle out and sell richly bound
encyclopedias.
'tOf Sport?"
'Of Sport. And it is tough goiag. You do
become discouraged. Besides getting blisters
on the feet. wish you could see my feet
right now
ON THE point of saying he would be de-
lighted, Lord Ellsworth paused. He had had
a bright idea, and it had taken his breath
away. This always happened when he had
bright ideas. He had had one in the summer
of 1921 and another in the summer of 1888,
and those had taken his breath away, too
Il will sell your Encyclopedias of Sport"
he said.
''You?"
The bright idea which had taken Lord Ems
worth's breath away was that if he went out
and sold richly bound Encyclopedias of Sport,
admitted by all the cog,s0sce,sfi to be very
difficult to dispose of. it would rid him once
and for all of the inferiority complex which so
oppressed him when in society of his son
Freddie. The brassiest of young men cannot
pull that Spirit of Modern Commerce stuff
on father if the father is practically Spirit
of Modern Commerce himself.
Precisely he said.
''But you couldn't"
Lord Ellsworth bridled. A wave of conf
dence and self-reliance was swging through
him. who says couldn't? My son Fred
erick sells things, and resent the suggestion
that am incapable of doing anything that
Frederick can do. Leave this to me, " he said.
Lie down on the sofa and get good rest"
But ="
Don't argue. said Lord Ellsworth dam
gerously, becoming the dominant male. Lie
on that sofa" ~.
Two minutes later, he was making his way
down the road, still awash with that wave of
confidence and self-reliance. His objective
was the large white house where the flowers
were. He was remembering what Freddie had
said about its owner. The man, according to
Freddie. threw parties and entertained
blondes in his wife's absence. And while we
might look askance from the moral standpoint
at one who does this, we have to admit that
it suggests the possession of sporting blood.

stole into his mind the thought that there
might be eggs in the icebox. He went thither,
tested his theory, and it was proved correct
'Ha," said Lord Ellsworth. He remem-
bered how he had frequently scrambled eggs
at school. But his school days lay half a
century behind him, and time in its march
robs us of our boyhood gifts. Since the era
when he had worn Eton collars he had lost
the knack, and it all too speedily became
apparent that Operation Eggs was not going
to be walkover as he anticipated.
He had paused to clarity his thoughts when
there was a ring at the front doorbell.
Deeply incrusted in yolk, he opened the door.
A GIRL was standing on the porch. He in
spected her through his pince-nez with the
vacant stare on which the female members of
his family had so often commented adversely.
She seemed to him, as he drank her slowly in,
a nice sort of girl. He had come to fear and
distrust the younger members of the opposite
sex, but this ones looks he liked Immediately
About her there was none of that naughty
beauty and stormy emotion in which his
several nieces specialized. She was small and
friendly and companionable.
Good morning, he said.
Good morning. Would you like richly
bound Encyclopedia of Sport?"
mot in the least" said Lord Ellsworth
cordially. Can you scramble eggs?"
why, sure
Then come in," said Lord Ellsworth.
And if you will excuse me leaving you, will
go and change my clothes"
Women are admittedly wonderful 1t did
not take Lord Ellsworth long to remove his
best suit, which he had been wearing in defer
ence to the wishes of Freddie, and don the
older and shabbier one which made him look
like minor employee in some shady firm of
private detectives. But brief though the in
terval had been, the girl had succeeded in
bringing order out of chaos. Not only had she
quelled what had threatened to become an
ugly revolt among the eggs, but she had found
bacon and coffee and produced toast.
