CHAPTER FORTY-THREE Now Tommy wouldn’t have his graduation spoiled by any of his hick relations running over there in tincans like a circus wagon coming into a grand ball or something like that. If Mom didn't go that would settle the whole thing for all the rest of them. Later that week she got the grandest letter from her boy. He was so sorry she couldn’t come and he had been counting on it and she was the grandest mother in the world and he would have been so proud of her; and she was responsible for everything fine which had ever happened to him and he would never forget her or be able to repay her no matter how he tried. Mom cried when she read it and that night she read it again and put it under her pillow and just laid there a long time and thought of things. Just that letter was worth the disappointment of not seeing her boy in ail of his glory; Mom knew now how much she had wanted to go . . . how she had looked forward to every little detail of it But she had gone a long time without seeing a Thorndyke graduation and like as not it would have been disappointing anyhow... and it would pass away and she'd forget it like everything else. But that letter would never pass away; she would keep it always and read it over and over when her Tommy got even greater than he was. Nobody could take that away from her—and the knowledge that her boy wasn’t ashamed of his mother after all. And the next day she let Mrs. Johnson read it and Mrs. Johnson cried when she read it; and Mrs. Johnson told Mrs. Flannigan and she came over and asked to read it and when she had finished she broke right down and cried and said: “My God, ain’t it grand?” Mom knew the two of them would tell Mrs. Farrell but Mom didn’t hear what Mrs. Farrell said. “I notice,” she said, “that she didn’t have any fancy letter like that to show until after he knew she wasn't coming.” “Why, Mis’ Ferrell,” said Mrs. Johnson, “you don’t think any boy would treat his own mother that way.” “My Joie wouldn’t” “My Buddy wouldn’t.” “I know my Florrie wouldn’t." Mrs. Farrell looked at Mrs. Flannigan; each knew what the other was thinking—if there was anything her Florrie hadn’t done or wouldn’t do, they’d like to know about it Mom didn’t go around Butcher Brown’s store any more than she had to for awhile because she couldn’t stand Mrs. Farrell’s bragging. At first it was all about her going to go to Joie's graduation; then it was all about how grand it had been; and although anybody could see everybody was sick and tired of hearing about it she just kept it up, a regular talking machine; as if anybody cared about what her Joie did or about him going to come back to Athens and work for Charlie Whitney at the factory. “What'd he go to College for if he's going to work in the factory?” Uncle Louie said. “He might as well have been working there all the time.” “He’s going to work on some

The club was organized by McNutt recently to raise campaign funds t*y assessing all Democratic state employes two per cent of their salaries each month. With McNutt and Peters differing over how the money should be handled, the Democratic state committee was called into session anti a subcommittee of three persons was selected to mediate the

new stuff, colored ware and all that,” Pop said. “ ’Sabout time somebody’s getting some new ideas or the place’ll be shut down altogether.” “Yeh—but you don’t expect that shrimp Joie Farrell to think up anything, do you?” For once Pop and Uncle Louie agreed; but Uncle Louie had to have the last word. “Seems to me Charlie Whitney’s got a lot of money to waste.” But Pop would never stand for anybody talking about Charlie Whitney. “Well, it’s his money, ain’t it? How do you know he's wasting it, anyhow? Joie was bright in school, wasn’t he? He studied to be a chemist, didn’t he, in college?” Uncle Louie laughed, a dry kind of a superior laugh that always made Pop mad. “That proves he’s dumb and it proves Charlie Whitney’s wasting his money; why should anybody have to take up chemistry to work in a glass house?” Mom knew Pop wondered about that, too; everybody wondered; but Pop wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. after that laugh; he got even in another way; “Some of the people that’s knockin’ Charlie Whitney wouldn’t be eatin’ now if it wasn't for him—he's running the factory far over orders and putting the ware in stock just to keep everybody workin’.” Uncle Louie took it as a personal insult and got up and left. But it wasn’t long until the town forgot all about Joie Farrell and his chemistry; and his mother had to quit her bragging because nobody would listen to her. She had to sit way back in the shade. “It got so I could hardly go in there any more," Mrs. Flannigan said to Mom; “you’d think that runt Joie was somebody and here he’, never been more’n a hundred mile, from home and my Buddy’s been all over the world—yet you

They met at Democratic state headquarters yesterday afternoon and decided on the compromise. Pursley declared that sufficient i money hail been collected by the | "Two per cent club" to meet the, state committee's obligations. The! amount, however, is not sufficient to meet a $t0,00« deficit of the state committee. Pnrsley said. A formal statement, issued by the sub-committee, after its meeting. declared; "The committee decided, after conferences with Governor McNutt 1 and Chairman Peters, that for the I present the same machinery that, has been In use will continue to collect funds and that the disbursement by the Democratic state committee will be made by the treasur-

don’t hear me blabbering all the time.” "And Joie never even had his ! picture in the paper once,” Mrs. Johnson said. Mrs. Johnson was referring to Tommy. His picture was in the paper •gain. He was going into the movies. It had come out in the papers very sudden, right before Tommy graduated. Big Jeff Randolph, the famous Thorndyke all-American, had been signed by Pyramid Pictures and would start work at once in "Love’s Refuge” with, of all people, Valeska Mourat The salary was reported as five hundred dollars a week to start. Mom felt sorry for Pop. It took him three months of real hard work, early and late, rain or shine, sick or well, to make that much money; and here Tommy was go- i ing to make that much in a week, just acting. Pop couldn’t say any- . thing when he read it. “It’s like I always said,” Uncle Louie put in. “everybody in them monies is nuts; and this proves IL" “What proves it?” Pop asked. “Them payin’ all that money to that young punk for just makin’ faces and actin' smart." “Yeh?” said Pop, “well, if any ' young boy was makin’ more money in one week than 1 ever made in my life I'd keep still, if it was me, and I wouldn’t be callin’ him a punk because that would make it hard for me to find something to call myself.” Uncle Louie was strangely un- i moved at the insult. He predicted: I “He won’t last long; 1 wouldn’t spend any of my money to see him. I've seen too much of his monkeyshines.” Pop roared: “Your money—the only thing you ever spent in your life was your time!” (To Be Continued) Copyright, by Francis Wallace Dis>ibuted by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
