My | Lord, Mike, there ain't a night | at the place some one don’t want to| kis$ her and sometimes she don't want to Riss and, listen, she wen't kiss. One night it just got me. There was a real nich fellow there from St. Louis; Mr. Blatz; an’ I made her kiss him. Maybe he was a little tight, but, you know, Mike, dorPt we all get tight off an’ on. Any- way, like I was tellin’ you, she wouldn't kisg him an’ I made her, and what do yow think?

He was in for it, he knew; he was going to do what he could for the child and not because of Malcolm or because thege was in Mickael an instinct to | sentimentality, for there was not; but | becpuse there was something about Carroll that took hold of him.

Jer- sey had been, really, very wonderful about agreeing to send the child to some good school. “I don't know what Il do without her, Mike,” she had said, her face twisted by emotion, “but if you think it'’s the right thing for her, it’s the right thing for me!” Tea done, Carroll sidled over to stand | by Michael’s side and after he had | wiped a halo of crumbs from her lips | he put an arm around her and thus he set into motion that which was to be- | come a rite. | _“Id like you to see my dolls,” said Carroll, her head pressed against his shoulder.

C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1938, sat on the edge of Carroll's small bed and he met the doll family for whom Carroll, who was surprisingly clever with scissors, needle, threadgand bits of goods, had made extensive wardrobes. Even Michael, very male, was amazed | by the small, well made garments. 'As he left, Jersey told him about the last night’s codicil to Carroll's myerl. and she squawked doing this. ichael saw that Carroll was conscious and he spoke quickly to her. 3 “Carroll,” he said, “that was simply great of you and I don't believe any one ever did that for me before!” “And I belleve yuh!” sung out Jer- ;fly. laughing mare and even more dly.

Making quick way through the imi tation-of-everything foyer, Michael came face to face with Big Bill Killroy, who | was hurrying toward the elevator. An- other much chewed cigar was between his thick lips and a derby hat was canted rakishly on his close-clipped, graying hair. He sent to Michael, through the medium of eyes crowded to silts by the fat of a florid fdce, a testing glance that seemed to say a belligerent, snarling, “Krep your paws Off Jersey: she’s my girl * Michael was absolutely certain, leav- ing the building, that school was the | best place for Carroll and meantime, perhaps, a camp for the Summer; and when she was in town with Jersey he would keep an eye on the child.
