Senator Siopstur has as his political opponent one Brother Wiikie. a minister, whose political campaign is furthered by seven "unspeakable brats" who sit on the rostrum with him while he makes speeches. Aunt Olympia and the Senator, kind and loving, nevertheless know that their three nieces iil mean votes for the Senator. Senator Slopshire. a pleasantly foggy individual who depends on the astuteness of his wife, prepares for their coming. Though Limpy, the youngest, is 16. and Helen, the oldest, la 21, the Senator buVs them all the toys and gifts he can find, feeling that "children" should be occupied. When they first meet their "Uncle Lancy." as he is to be known, the girls take him to their united bosom.

"Why, who's there to talk to in Iowa, with Congress in session?" "It might be something about a school," said Adele, swiftly. "Or you don't suppose she could have forgotten to pay that grocery bill?" said Aunt Olympia. "From what I saw of that delivery boy, he's just the type to buy a new necktie and put on his gloves and follow a bill clear to Washington." Hilda coughed again. "And Miss Limpy is having a conference." "Having a conference? Miss Limpy? What are you talking about? Is the Senator home?" "No, ma'am. It's with a a policeman. Miss Limpy accidentally or something threw her arithmetic " "Trigonometry," corrected Adele, loyally. "I'm sorry, but I can't hog That was no logarithm! That was a plain American policeman you bashed on the dome." "Yes, how about that policeman, Limpy?" asked Aunt Olympia, suddenly remembering the issue. "Oh, that! That was the merest accident . . . Unless," Limpy frowned, and pursed up her lips, "unless, there was something sinister beneath it! I confess, I was a little suspicious, for why should he s be prowling about under Uncle windows in election year? I asked if he was a special policeman or anything I didn't want to come right out and ask if he had been hired by the Opposition. But he said no, he was just regular. It was too bad, wasn't it?" "How did it happen, Limpy?" asked Adele helpfully, now that the first explosive moment had been safely bridged. "Oh, I was a bit confused about those logarithms I don't care for them at all, Auntie, and if you don't mind I'd really rather study something else, like French drama or modern novels. I looked out at the trees and all of a sudden it came to me in a sort of Bash that there was a kind of a connection there sort of a relativity trees and logarithmsor logs, for short. They seemed to go together. And first thing I knew the book was flying right out the window among the trees and I do think it was very suspicious that a policeman should be lurking down there. They went together trees, and but the policeman just doesn't fit in." "Unless he was a blockhead to begin with," said Adele. "And perhaps he had a chip on his shoulder," added Len Hardesty. "Well, he seemed to have when he first came in. But he went away I gave him five very dollars out of your pocketbook, Adele; I'm low this week. And he left his regards for the Senator. I didn't do it as a bribe, of course, but I didn't want to embarrass dear Uncle Lancy in election year."

"We're virtually out now," said Aunt Olympia. "What do you think, Limpy?" said Adele suddenly. "Are they arriving at an armistice, or is this a lull before they tear each other limb from limb?" "I'm expecting blows at any minute," said Limpy. "That's what I'm waiting for. Otherwise I'd be right back with my logarithms." "Blows! Blows between Ollie and me?" He sat on the arm of her chair and put his arm around her. "Why, Ollie and I are mad about each other. It's my one regret that Sloppy saw her first. Why, I'd lie down in the dirt and let her walk right over me though I'd be a good deal flattened in the process. And she'd do the same for me, too!"

It's good, Len. I admit it's good. But Limpy thought it up herself." Len groaned. "But just to cheer you up, Len, I will admit that Adele is far the The others are aU right- -in some ways even better. I don't believe Adele would ever have thought of bashing a policeman with a trigonometry. But she got most of the looks." "You're telling me that?" he demanded bitterly. "I'm no fool.

By Cm. CHAPTER IV Never in her life had Aunt Olympia experienced such satisfying happiness. The girls, with their gentle youth, made a perfect foil for her rugged ruddiness, her biting humor. Their appreciative laughter spurred her to gusty heights never before attained. She had not realized how large a part the audience plays in the success of theatrical endeavor. She could hardly let them out of her sight long enough to get their proper sleep and begrudged Limpy every minute spent on "those lousy logarithms." So the girls were a little disconcerted one day when she went about the apartment wrapped in a brooding air of detachment, full lips compressed, left eyelid ominously lowered; seeming not to hear their light talk, and, still more surprisingly, adding no enlivening embellishments of her own. They watched her uneasily. "Are you sick, Aunt Olympia?" Helen finally asked. "No," she said abruptly. "I'm working my subconscious." The girls smiled faintly. "Don't overtax it," said Adele. "I understand it's rather delicate." "And be careful it doesn't turn and begin working you," added Limpy. Aunt Olympia did not hear them. That night she addressed the Senator mildly. "Del, I want to ask your advice." The Senator coughed deprecating-land his glance at the girls was apologetic. "What do you think we ought to do about these girls?" she demanded. That shocked the Senator into immediate coherence. "Do about them!" he ejaculated. "Do nothing about them! Leave them alone! They're doing all right for themselves." "Referring to their social life," "Should we Olympia continued. bring them out or keep them in seclusion?" The Senator wiped his glasses. Then he srniled. "My dear, living up to my established reputation as a philanthropic and d American, I say, bring them out Give the world a treat! The world needs a treat and I am not one who believes that the blessed should be niggardly with their treasures." Olympia frowned. "Thinking of the campaign," she said significantly.

"Unless you refer to putting the bad fruit at the bottom of the basket." Aunt Olympia gave him a straight, hard look. Already the girls knew that look. They called it look.

You'd have enjoyed that, but unfortunately it wound up its work and quit." "After all," went on Aunt Olympia musingly, "it does impress homey hicks to know that one has been received in Washington. But we'll be careful. We'll discriminate. "Sure, that's the idea," corroborated the Senator. "Discriminate. Take them only to things that are good fun and hold them in seclusion from the bores." "I'll start off with a luncheon, exclusive, very small. Then a large tea not too large . . . It's too bad about Len Hardesty; he's a lot of help at that sort of thing . Yes, Helen, you're right.
