I went to see her one day,” Bangs explained, “and I mentioned that we couldn’t get any work out of you till you’d had the adventure you were Insisting on. Mrs. Ordway said, ‘Well, why don’t you give him an adventure?’ That," confessed Rodney, "started me ofT.” . “Obviously,” corroborated hla friend. “So It was Louise's idea. Poor Louise! I hope she got some fun out of It” “Tou bet she did!” corroborated Bangs, eagerly. “I kept her posted every day. She said It was more fun than s play, and that It waa keeping here alive," “Humph! Well, go on. Tell me how tt started." Lanrle was smiling. If the little episode just ended had been, as it were, a bobolink singing to Louise Ordway during her final days 0,1 earth, It was not he who would find fault with the bird or with those who had set It singing. “The day we saw the caretaker In the window across the park," continued Rodney, "and I realized how Interested you were.

"Perhaps later Mias Mayo will tell me about It herself!” "Now, what I meant to do was this —” Rodney spoke briskly. He waa

And, as always when his thoughts were on his work, he was utterly oblivious to any other Interest. "The second act was to be —" He stopped and stared. Epstein had risen, had ponderously approached I him, and had resolutely grasped him by one ear. “Rodney.” said the manager, with ostentatious subtlety, "you don’t know It, but you got a date up town In five minutes.” His voice and manner enlightened the obtuse Mr. Bangs. “Oh, er—yes,’’ stammered that youth, confusedly, and reluctantly got to his feet. "Walt a minute," said Laurie. "Before you fellows go, there's one more little matter we've got to straighten out." They turned to him, and at the expression of utter devotlou on the two faces the sternness left young Devon’s eyes. “I was pretty mail about this business for a few minutes after Shaw explained It," he went on. "Tou folks didn't have much mercy, you know. You fooled me to the top of m.v bent. But now I feel that we’ve at least broken even.” "Even! Mein Gott 1" repented Epstein with a groan. “You’ve tuken ten years—” "You’ve got back ten already,” the young man blithely reminded him. "That’s fine! As I say, we’re even. But from this time on. one thing insist he definitely understood: Henceforth I’tn not In leading strings of any kind, however kindly they ure put on me. If this association Is to continue, there must be no more ptactlcal jokes, tie more supervision, no more Interference with me or my affairs. Is that agreed?” “You bet It Is!” corroborated Epstein. Again he wiped tils brow. "I can't stand the pace jou fellas set,” he, admitted. — — (TO BE CONTINUED) EX-SERVICE MEN AT STATE FAIR Indiana State Fair Assumes Military Aspect As Veterans Gather Today lr 'ianapolts. mJ., Sept. 7. —(United ed a' military sR&I ' reds of ex-servic- men came to parti :i pate in the American Legion day festivities.
