Even Aunt Olympia thought it was amusing. She said she wasn't at all surprised; she declared that half the ambassadors and all of the diplomats in Washington were spies. She said, "I give you my word, before I go to an embassy reception I take the safety pins out of the broken straps on my slip and have Hilda sew them on. I'm too proud to have foreign spies looking through me at those safety pins." "It's an outrage," said the Senator, bristling all over with Americanism. "They ought to be shot." "Not just for looking at a safety pin, Del, surely," said Aunt Olympia. On the next Sunday Len Hardesty arrived at Shires, too late for church but in ample time for dinner. "I'm supposed to be down in Washington touching the Committee for more funds," he explained cheerfully. "We're running short. In fact, we're low. We were reduced to hamburgers last night, though I see you have an abundance of fried chicken here. Farley must be doing all right by you." "You'd better get along down to Washington," said Aunt Olympia, "or you'll be reduced to canned dog food." When dinner was over the Senator begged to be excused; he had Aunt important work on hand. Olympia got up and walked off; she was going to take a nap, but whose business was it? Helen had letters to write and Limpy took the box of nuts and the funny papers and went out to the porch. Adele and Len Hardesty, thus considerately left alone, wandered down through the garden and on out into the or chard where they selected a big apple tree, far removed from the house and sheltered by a hedge, and sat down. For a long time they devoted themselves to the tender, personal things natural to a young couple very much in love, but eventually settled down to speak of other things, of politics, their daily activities, their hopes, their plans. "Oh, Len!" Adele cried suddenly. "Wasn't it exciting about Gabriel d'Allotti?" "Exciting! I don't see anything exciting about it, but that they didn't catch him months ago. Quote: 'The lousy worm.' End quote." "But that he should turn out to be a spy We never dreamed of such a thing! We've had no end of fun with Helen about it." "With Helen?" "Don't you remember? Gabriel d'Allotti was the man who spent all last spring studying the American system with Helen. I told you about I it."

Len lit his cigarette slowly. "Did she see much of him?" "Oh, he was hardly ever out of our sight. He went every place we did not with us! He just met us there by accident, the way you do. He came to the house three or four times a week, afternoons, mostly. "I see." Len stood up. "Well, mybeautiful, I've got to be self down to Washington, so don't sit there blinking your lashes and looking lonesome, trying to get my mind off the salvation of the nation. According to, the papers. Sloppy is taking a few days off to rest his corns. Will you be here the rest of the week?" "Till Thursday. It isn't for Uncle Lancy's corns. It's so Hilda can get us mended and laundered and fed. It's terrible cooking in that trailer.

Thank Ollie for the chicken . And to think if Hamburgers! it hadn't been for the shortsightedness, the hopeless inelliciency of old Sloppy, I'd be with you on fried chicken instead of over there with the brats on hamburger." Aunt Olympia, shrewd as she was, could not understand Cecil Dodd. In thv beginning, though she had certainly made it clear that as assistant director of publicity he was chiefly to take care of the woman angle, he had flung himself into the campaign with such assiduity that she could . EXTRA FLAVOR for pen- . hardly get hold of him long enough to take the girls horse-bac- k riding. Dave Cooper assured her the kid was doing all right, that there was real stuff back of his gentle smile, but Aunt Olympia felt that her plan had been somewhat of a failure. Now suddenly all this was changed. Cecil had become con- ubiquitous, stantly underfoot, as Olympia complained. When Dave, who had come to rely on him, flatly ordered him off on certain missions, he went, but with reluctance. "He's beginning to miss the sofas," said the Senator sympathetically. "That's the worst thing about cushions they become habitual." "Oh, I knew he couldn't keep it up," grumbled Aunt Olympia. "These fireworks that go off with the biggest explosion always sputter out first." Still, Dave assured her, once he was dragged away from the insidious comforts of Shires or the clubby attractions of the trailer entourage, he worked both hard and well; "like a dog," Dave said; "and does what he's told." On Saturday when the cavalcade returned to Shires for rest and renovation, Dave said he and Cece would go to town and do some intensive groundwork at Headquarters. Cece objected; objected gently, but firmly. He said he needed rest and renovation as much as anybody. "Call up Headquarters and tell 'em we're coming," said Dave firmly. Aunt Olympia gave him his hat. On Sunday, except for the visit of Len Hardesty, which they had y come to expect, the day was calm and quiet. And then, on rest-full- Monday evening, a3 they were having coffee in the cool of the east veranda, Hilda announced disap- provingly. "It's Mr. Dodd on the 'phone and he wants Miss Limpy." You could have knocked Aunt Olympia down with a feather. She said so herself, at least a hundred times in the days that followed. She couldn't open her mouth. She just sat, as if she had indeed been knocked there. Limpy ran back from the tele"Oh, Aunt Olympia, Cece phone. says the Young Democrats are getting up a dance rally at the Fire House and if he comes and gets me and drives carefully and brings me back early, may I go?" Aunt Olympia, still suffering from the feather-blow- , couldn't speak. "Would you like to go, girls?" asked the Senator mildly. "Did he invite all of us, Limpy?" asked Adele significantly. "Urn-- ah well ah perhaps not specifically. I'll go and ask him, shall I? He only mentioned me a small party, I believe." Aunt Olympia came to. "You can't go," she said in a strangled voice. "You can't go a step. And you needn't say 'Aw, Uncle Lancy, for I'm running this nursery and you can't go." "He says all right," announced Limpy. "He doesn't care about the dance. He says he'll come over and make a report to the Senator." "You call him right up, Del, and tell him to stay where he is and not interrupt our rest with any reports. You tell him to stay where he is and do as Dave tells him. Here I am, just getting somewhere with my extemporaneous speech and now getYou ting all upset about Limpy call him right up, Del. Tell him when we want him we'll send for him." Aunt Olympia tried to still with a few fierce the under-chijabs. "With a feather," she muttered feebly. On Tuesday morning, a surprising announcement temporarily distracted her from her maternal anxiety. Every paper in the state announced that Governor Wilkie had suddenly decided the time was ripe for him to make the most important speech of the campaign over a nation-widhook-uHe was quoted as saying that "certain dramatic developments in Washington had impelled him to alter his original schedule and since the revelations he was about to make concerned not only their sovereign state but the entire nation, he had arranged for the national audience." The family at Shires discussed it at length over their breakfast. "It's a fake," said Aunt Olympia. "There's nothing more he can say. He's said everything already, and more, too." "Maybe he has found some new words in the dictionary," said . . . n e p. Adele. "Do you suppose he'll pause for applause so the listening world can hear the brats wave lollypops?" wondered Limpy. Before they left the table there was a call from Dave at Headquarters. "See the papers. Senator?" "Yes, what's up?" "Nobody seems to know. But the reports are that their Headquarters are agog. They've hired a college professor to check the speech. Maybe we'd better come out and listen in with you so we can cock up an answer." "Yes, do that. It's a good idea," said the Senator. When he remarked mildly that the boys were coming out to listen in with them and help frame his reply, Aunt Olympia bounded clear out of her chair. WNU "You call him right back and tell him to leave Cece where he is!" she cried. "I can't listen to speeches and look at that worm in the same breath." . "Adele. that's the most perfectly mixed figure I ever heard in my life!" said Limpy admiringly. "Its triple! It's unique!" Aunt Olympia didn't hear her. remon"My dear." the Senator the boy's hurt can't "we strated, Dave says he's working feelings.

Thank Ollie for the chicken." the insidious intricacies of statecraft; one who could be led as a lamb to the slaughter by those wis- er, more subtle, more farseeing, than he. He said that hitherto "I say hitherto" he repeated sonorously, the Senator had been saved from egregious and irreparable error by the firmly coercive hand of his party leaders. "I say 'hitherto.' I mean 'hitherto.' This time, lacking coercive guidance, he has fallen into error both egregious and irreparable. The Senator has denounced subversive, activities. Orally, yes, he has denounced them. And in all fairness, my friends, I believe the Senator at heart is opposed to such activities. But, my friends, is the good Senator and I believe him to be a good, if not a particularly intelligent, man is the good Senator smart enough to recognize subversive activities when he meets them? When he encounters them in the luxurious drawing rooms, at the lavish banquet tables, of Washington? When he entertains them in his own home, introduces them to his own friends? "It is this point on which we challenge the Senator! Who, during the last session of Congress, was one of the most constant and familiar visitants in the Senator's luxurious apartment in Washington? Who ate his food, drank his imported wine, danced with the women of his household? Who was their confidant? "On this point I challenge the Senator! Last week three handsome, ingratiating, polished young foreigners were arrested in Washington as spies for foreign governments. They were educated men, of cultured tastes and training; they were well supplied with money; they wore correct clothes, did correct things, were gracious, suave and acceptable. They were spies One of these men was Gabriel d'Allotti.

She was in her dressing gown, very red of face, and had not taken time to remove the net from her permanent wave; nor to powder, although usually most punctilious about her appearance before the girls. The Senator, his bathrobe draped not too neatly about him, his thin hair standing up on a very pink head, was close at her heels. "Helen," she said abruptly, "what in the world did you tell that man?" "What man, Aunt Olympia?" asked Helen. .1aStardIy varmint.
