She received him alone, having with difficulty hardened her heart to the girls' importunities, for they, eager curiosity doubly whetted by the united opposition of Uncle Lancy and Len Hardesty and by Aunt Olympiad defense, were eager for a glimpse of him. Aunt Olympia, for the only time, withstood their pleas. Even Limpy's "Aw, Aunt Olympia," did not move her. "I've been thinking of our talk the other day," she began at once. "Did I understand you to say you would like to try your hand at campaigning?" "I'm crazy to," he said boyishly. "I've applied for a job every place under the sun, but nobody will take me because I have no experience; and how the deuce can I get experience when nobody will try me out? . . . Maybe you could give me a recommendation," he suggested. "No, I can't do that," she said flatly. "I don't know whether you're any good or not and I'm careful about my recommendations. But maybe I could give you a job a very small job, of course. But it would be a starter." Cecil Dodd was so surprised he couldn't say a word. Refuse a recommendationand give him a jobt It seemed almost unethical. "Experience is worth more than money," he murmured, devoutly. "Not to us," she admitted. "Anyhow it'll be something and we'll pay your expenses, and if anybody can teach you the racket, Dave Cooper can . . . With some help from me . . . You see, Cece, this isn't like the usual campaign.

And since the girls will be around constantly, we'd like someone of agreeable disposition and be a sort some social experience-H- o of companion to them. And we think you'll do all right. You'll take orders from Dave, of course, and do what he tells you and go where you're sent. But your main job will be handling our end of the game." hard-boile- d FOR EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA COOLNESS EXTRA FLAVOR 'accaf Cecil Dodd was boyishly delighted. When the first moment of reverent and worshipful awe had passed he found voice again. "Mrs. Slopshire," he said earnestly, "I'll work like a dog; I'll work day and night." Having come to this amicable agreement, Aunt Olympia asked him to stay and meet the girls. He accepted the invitation gratefully but Aunt Olympia could see that his mind was less on them than on the great opportunity which a bounteous Heaven had so surprisingly bestowed upon him. He responded courteously to the introductions but seemed not even to notice Adele's eyes. "Not as good a reporter as Len Hardesty," thought Aunt Olympia. "Len hasn't overlooked a lash." The girls, considerably to their surprise, found him pleasant, even likable, and a decided contrast to the explosively verbose Len Hardesty. He was slight in build, not tall, but lithe, with a suggestion of muscular strength in his easy movements. His voice was low, almost diffident, his smile boyishly winsome. He dressed with that studied and expensive carelessness that is so revealing to the practiced eye. "Well, you may as well begin now as anytime," said Aunt Olympia. "Take a memorandum, will you?" He hastened to comply, drawing out his fountain pen and a small, elegant date book in limp leather. "Remind the Senator or remind me to remind him to be sure to write up and tell the farmer at Shires that's our place up home- -to have an extra suit of farm clothes for the Senator to borrow when he speaks at the Granges." The girls talked him over when he had gone. They agreed that Len Hardesty had been unjustly prejudiced and that Cecil was a nice boy and they could stand having him around. They thought his eager enthusiasm for the job rather pathetic. "Yes, it's pathetic," assented Aunt Olympia. "Cece is all right. The trouble is that he's always been able to do what he wanted to instead of what he had to. He has enough money to live on, so he's never had to file his nose on the grindstone. It takes grindstone to make a newspaper man." "He's really what you would call a sweet child," Helen wrote to Brick Landis. "He seems so young and so unspoiled, and yet Aunt Olympia says he's had his own way all his life and had everything he has ever wanted. He is taking this job with such deadly seriousness that she is beginning to fear he will neither amuse us nor drive Len Hardesty mad, which was her main object. He began bringing up huge volumes on politics to get Aunt Olympia's opinion of them, but she stopped that. She said he could get his opinions from her and Dave Cooper. He has bought a new, perfectly gorgeous, simply huge, brief case and a new portable typewriter. And whenever he is not sitting raptly in the Senate gallery gazing down at his candidate and taking notes of every breath he draws, he is at the Press Club trying to make 'contacts.' I just wonder, Brick, if you take politics seriously enough. You didn't pay thirty dollars for a brief case and buy a new typewriter." Aunt Olympia went with Helen and Adele one afternoon to a large cocktail party the invitations had said "tea." It was at the home of an outstanding Republican senator; they remembered that later, with some bitterness. Adele, left alone for a few minutes, was approached by a man, comparatively young, quite handsome, whom Adele instinctively labeled "a foreigner of some sort." "I met you just after you came in, Miss Rutherford," he said pleasantly. "I am Gabriel d'Allotti. I couldn't possibly expect you to remember me in that crowd and that confusion, but by the same token, you could not possibly expect me not to remember you in any crowd or any confusion. You are unforgettable." Adele smiled pleasantly. But she remembered Len Hardesty's warning, "Beware of embassies and at- taches!" "Are you with one of the embas- sies?" she asked. "Alas, no! I have no such importance. I am just a young man trying to get along. But I know the embassy crowd and have friends among them, so I get around. May I bring you a drink?" "Not now, thanks." "To tell the truth, I am one of about a million foreigners trying to get the true American picture. I e do correspondence for a few foreign papers and magazines, and naturally I am collecting my impressions for a book on America." "If you get the American picture, you see better than I do," she admitted. "It looks a hodgepodge to me. Like modern painting. You can't tell whether that pink splash is a lady's arm or a platter of fried liver with onions! And then it turns out to be a bunch of grapes." He laughed appreciatively. "I find the same difficulty, both with art and with America. But I am young and brave.

He comes to the house quite often and once he went with me to one of Uncle Lancy's committees and we did agree on one thing: that it is mighty hard for a dozen men sitting around a table to agree on a policy to save the nation ; especially when the plan goes from them to the Senate, then to the House, back to the Senate, and back to conference again; and when they do finally agree on something, there's still the White House to reckon with. "You needn't worry, darling. He hasn't the suggestion of a crush on me. You can't fool women about that. Sometimes we think they have when they haven't, but we never think they haven't when they have. We're not that dumb. But we are both interested in the same things and it really is more exciting to argue with him than with Uncle Lancy. Uncle Lancy's always afraid of hurting my feelings, and Mr. d'Allotti isn't. But he isn't my type. I like 'em red headed and a bit -roughed up. y2:(Vl "Oh, Brick, the session is nearly over and nothing has happened!
