most rell relieved eved feeling reeling ho he had ever known ite we queer I 1 forgot choso test pa borers bald said air mr crandall 1 I remember the janitor gave them to mo me shortly before train time and I 1 left them here on my desk intending to call the judge about them theirs before r left the office but I 1 aus A as in ili such a hurry I 1 forgot As things have turned out it la Is much butter better that I 1 did but perhaps if we could find them it might night clear up things a little in III the judges mind I 1 won dor der if the man who cleans up these rooms carry them downstairs S with the papers in the waste basket come on ralph oll ell go down and i see BOO what we can find down stairs they went and after rummaging about in a whole moun talu tain of ot paper they finally found the test papers all in a bund bunch ralph looked at his paper ith a greaf gj deal of adame not a question qu etton waa was answered correctly aud most of them ill he lie had not taken the trouble to an at all farmed with these they went to the office whore tile school blaid meeting was in session and mr air cra craa dall asked permission to speak to judge bainbridge for fora a few moments the judge came out and aland d surprised to find ralph with mr at i crandall Ilo however wever the sight of crandall brought miss bliss dean into the tile judges mind ateno use john im sorry that you icem to like this school teacher but wo we aro are not going to havo have any tiny place for her next year I 1 dont like the way vay ahoe acted you 7 know wo we bad had one long talk about her and theres no use timo time now judge ault wall wait a m minute anu it oi o e I ralph here came to make mako a protes call on oil me we tonight lie ha has something ho lie winta wants to say ay to 1 0 you and when lie ate hux made hi hia s little speech epoe cli before you make a little speech to him I 1 have one I 1 would like to make to you in private now tell your father just what you r told me file f ralph started in but it was a whole lot harder to toll tell hie his father it waa was to toll tell mr crandall the rise latter every once in a while f hollod him over the har hardert deit places 1 and ho tho told whole etory story produced the ilia test and told A bout about It roberts part in savin f his bis 1113 that day in the river this purl purt of the tile lory story wag was almost too much for judge bainbridge and quick tears callio into hib lifs eyes when robert had lind finished mr crandall said to him run down stairs a few minli minutes teg ralph I 1 want to give your father a little ecret secret advice when I 1 have fin ihmud ill conic come down and well accle yi brato by going to the movies to after giving his ills fathers fat beril hand a little squeeze ralph wont went down jit airs and waited whatever Wha toVer it was that mr hir crandall crindall told the tile judge mador him look very serious and very sorry that night ho lie went into It ralphs alphs room and find they had a long talk together it Is to really none of our affair what they talked about but I 1 imagine that the judge realized that perhaps ho lie had paid too much attention to his work ork and not enough attention to what his little boy was doing and in consequence a good boy had nearly grown into a bad boy because ho lie had lind been neglected so both ralph and robert went to bod bed very happy that night for when robert s father caroo came home ho he brought tile mews that ater the board had voted not to have miss dean come comeback back next year mr cran dall had appeared at the door and and had talked to the judge a long time out in the hall and then the judge had come back and eald said he lie had been im ory much mistaken in allis dean and had learne Cohe was a splendid te and perhaps they had better vote over again they had done so and everyone had voted to bave her back the next year that showed how strong the judges in was in ili carrols berry the next day ralph explained the u whole hole thing to robert who was secretly arett elated to learn that he had lost none of his fame as its a detective though of course lie modestly disclaimed any ally share in ili the affair continued in next weeks oaks issue |
