BRIGHT IDEA
By Richard H. Wilkinson
THE
FICTION
CORNER

MIR. and Mrs. Roscoe Hardy found
~ themselves in a sad predica-
ment. For years they had solved the
problem of summer vacations by
visiting friends and relatives. They
had made a career of it. They were
professional guests. But now the
end come.

- once they had en-
joyed economical weeks of rest.
The future looked black. The
Hardy's bank account was never
lower. Then Roscoe had an idea.
He remembered that once upon a
time he had an Uncle Ralph. Rumors
drifted in, unfounded, that Uncle
Ralph had gone to Alberta, Canada,
established himself in the wheat
business and prospered.
Now then, thought Roscoe, why
not restore Uncle Ralph to the good
graces of the family circle? Why
not cook up a story about Uncle
Ralph suddenly dying and making
Roscoe and Mrs. Roscoe sole heirs
to his millions? Why not mention
this in a letter to Cousin Beatrice
and Chauncey Hardy, who lived in
Philadelphia and who had practi-
cally evicted them two years ago?
And if it worked on Beatrice and
Chauncey, why not try it on other
relatives?
Mrs. Roscoe Hardy had al
ways been rather grudging
about handing out compliments
to her husband. But she had to
admit that this plan was de-
serving of a lot of credit. She
even agreed to write the letter
to Beatrice herself.
and as you probably know"
Mrs. Roscoe wrote, dear Uncle
Ralph, who has been living in Al
berta these past &c years, passed
