To begin. it was Friday. the thirteenth. At about the hour when customarily I surge under the me‘ to heave and :lcal‘riixl‘tets and my sub-conscious self begins offering auto-suggestions to my unconscious self to the effect that it is about time to roll out and face an- other day of strife. I had a dream. I dreamed that my beloved grandson had grown into a large. handsome. athletic young man and was playing hero parts in the motion picture in- dustry. The dream was so realistic and the horror it inspired was so acute that I made a leap out of bed, aiming to choke my grandson to death before he could bring disgrace “Imadoa . Kyne on.

I was floored. I have seen Gus Re- dell bent. broken, twisted and man- gled financially. but I had never seen him knocked out and weeping. I couldn't credit my ears. He and Maisle had been married for over fifteen years. they had three children. and it was Gus‘a main brag that he was the happiest man in the world. I knew Maisle for one of the finest. sweetest women in this world save one—and I married that one myself.

Gus be- thought him of his precious hooch. hauled out his bottle and unscrewed the cork. “Hare.

I was so glad it wasn't five hundred that I wired it to him. I read the morning paper and looked through my mail. At ten o'clock Skinner came in with a. wire- less to the effect that our shingle mill on Humboldt Bay had burned and the idiot of a mill manager had neglected to renew the insurance. It had ex- pired the day before. Scarcely had I given orders to separate the culprit from the payroll before the villain’s wife called me on the long distance telephone and told me. how dreadful her husband felt about the fire and his neglect of the insurance. Then she wept and before I could get a grip on myself I had' told her the en- tire affair was a mere bagatelle. and to inform her husband from. me that the best of us fan out occasionally: that we hadn’t hired him under the impression that he was a superman but a shingle mill manager. That I had known at the time he would make a mistake sooner or later. be- cause he had already had the little finger and a part of his left hand sliced off by a saw. She thanked mo tear-fully and hung up. Then Skinner came in and mid he'd been seeking an opening for ' a year to fire that man. and he gave me a rawth for interferingin the internal administra- tion of his department. and he was WAR—Philadelphia (305.11“). 7:80-8:00 p. m.-—-Dream Daddy with the Boys and» Girls. 8:00 p. m.—Closing talk.

It seems that on days when Gus was pretty busy and couldn‘t take an hour and a half of! for luncheon at the Bilgewater club. he was wont to partake of a. hasty bite at a holedn- the-wall restaurant in Market street. just around the corner from its in- tersection with California street. At this restaurant Augustus favored the service extended by a. short-haired, slangy. rangy. hard-boiled damsel who answered to the name of Tillie. Tillie was I. waitress who charmed her trade by dealing. out a remarkable line of conversation with her beans and sandwiches and Gus. who en- joyed her immensely. was always ex- tremely liberal with his tips. '—- Well. it appears that at luncheon the day previous Tillie. who had lost con- siderable flesh and vivacity the past three- mentha suddenly collapsed and hada bad hemorrhage: Gus had as. stated in carrying the poor thing to a doctor's office upstairs. Of course he knew‘Tillie had tuberculosis and he. was so sorry'for her he had her on b ind all day. ell. that night Gus didn't go home to dinner and telephoned Maiaio that he would be working at his office un- til about eleven o'clock. And that afternoon one of his 'steam schoon- ers came in from a. Mexican port and her captain brought ashorg for Gus a quart bottle of red liquor that had aged twenty years in an oak barrel. it home and keep it in the medicine chest in the event of a. flu epidemic. as he was. losing confidence in drug- store whiskey. ‘ American Red Cross.

It was a picture no artist could paint. Tillie was poorly dressed and she was. as I say. hard- boiled and blend and haggard. “Boy. oh. boy." she gurgled as she lowered the bottle. “I'll tell the cock-eyed word you do carry good liquor." "Keep the bottle. Tillie." said Gus. “I'll call a taxi. and send you home." He turned to go back to his allies to phone for the taxi—and here at the curb stood his wife in her car. taking in the situation. She'd called at the omce to bring him home. and woman- like. she had concluded to surprise him! She succeeded. I'll say she did. Poor Maisie! She just looked at Gus once and then at Tillie;.then she picked up the speaking tube and told her chant- tent to beat it. which he did. Gus informed me that he had been up all night at her door.' explaining and pleading. but. she wouldn't believe him. She had never caught him in a lie before, but she was willing to be- lieve he was lying to her now. In fact. she told him he was clever at it. And she was about to sue him for a divorce!
