After all, | why not? If the legislature can be persuaded to | legalize one form of gambling machine, | obviously it will be far easier to get a cam- | paign underway for bringing back the next | type. i Florida drove the machines out once | after running into all kinds of trouble dur- | ing a period when their use was legalized. | This time, in spite of the efforts to start off with a milder form, it seems improbable | that the legislature would start all over again. As this and most other Florida papers | have so many times pointed out, slot ma- chines are about the worst:gambling racket of them all. Both fromthe,fact that they take such a heavy pereéntage for the! of" Hea e“But Tit erator and because of:their “attraction | for children, they are and always*have been a nuisance. | Representative Overstreet’s idea of | putting in pinball machines, but forbidding the type that pays off, is ridiculous. Let the pinball game once get a place in the teres and the operators will be perfectly willirg to take their chances on handling the payoff. Most of them are not equipped to pay in coins, anyway. The operators for years have paid over the counter when the | player reached a winning score, and by giving the operators permission to put their | machines back in eireulation there is no way under the sun to prevent payments. At present, they can’t be put in sight, at all. Why not leave it that way? TIPS FROM A SOLON Some fatherly advice to new congress- | men, given recently by Representative | Luther Patrick of Alabama, was in a some- what humorous vein, but nevertheless quite practical. Some of the tips given were, in substance, as follows: Don’t try to be too original Don’t get into an elevator ahead of a sen- ator, and never try to beat your senator in wiring back home the news of an appropria- | tion for your district. seheme to get money for nothing.

This is the glamorous Margo Powers, who is the daughter of David's boss, and a young woman with a yen for David. ‘, She just has called at her fa~ ' dher’s office to tell David Wood- bye, and to make one lagh at- tempt to interest him. Chapter 27 Margo Fails | DO like you,” said David. “But after all, Margo, a man does bs “So Warren says,” Margo re- ; torted. “But I think neither you nor he gives much thought to the part a girl plays in that future ; you talk so much about.” “I do,” said David with em- phasis. “Oh, well, what’s the use of talking about it?” ‘said Margo wearily. “I’m going back to the people who think as I do. I hope you and Warren never regret sticking in a town like this.” “We won't!” Again that em- phasis. Margo looked up in David’s face. She smiled sadly. “What a shame,” she said, “that you’re , throwing away a possible chance | to see ‘theworld.-If-things had turned out differently, we might have hi David—you gnd I.” *Tt havi right here.” “Yes, . ut—” Margo ist eheek lightly, have learned 0: to like my world.” “"Fraitd not?’. Janghed David. “You know Wwhaf they say about old dogs and up-to-date tricks.” Margo held out her hand. | “Goodbye, David,” she said. “I’m taking the express north to- morrow evening. I shan’t be see- ing you again.” |. “Goodbye, Margo.” David held her hand a moment. “I hope you change your mind and come back to us.” Margo said nothing more. And presently David saw her yellow roadster passing between the wide gates of the lumber yard. He went back to his work. A sense of con- | fusion got hold of him, the con- fusion that Margo often made him | feel. He couldn’t tell to save him whether or not she was in love with him. He.didn’t think it-pos- sible, and yet she was always saying things that would lead him to believe that she was. ‘ Oh, the devil! Why waste time thinking about it! He had other things to think about. If he didn’t have to work too late that plant, he wanted to drop in to see Polly. | He would tell her about Margo |.going away. Maybe this would conyince Polly that there j was nothing between them — thilt he didn’t want all those advanta‘cs Pally had said Margo could’ give Im. “Here,” said the bookkeeper, “address these pay envelopes, will you, David?” “Sure,” said David. He took the envelopes the man was holding out to him, and’went to a @ype- writer. The bookkeeper chuckled’ and | said: “The cashier at the bank’s | going to get a surprise when he sees the amount of our payroll. I can just see his Adam's apple | bobbing up and down, and his eyes popping.” “He'll probably get a bigger | surprise,” said David, “when he | sees the balance Xir. Powers has in the bank at the end of the month.” Presently the two men were ‘iving all their attention to work. hile in the office of old Doctor Ben, Warren McNeill was also Doctor Ben + | ET'S see, Doc,” he said, look- | &~ ing over a penciled list of names; “you want me i dag over these people right a’ .

Then I'll not give it another thought.” “Just what did you say was wrong with this man, Percy What’s-his-name?” Warren asked. “Nothing’s the matter with him, ‘ actually,” Doctor Ben lied. “But he thinks there is. He bores everybody to death describing his ailments, all of which are purely imaginary. Oh, well, he’s a bore, anyway, Warren—so he might as well talk about himself, the most 1 im vile taste. rTcy icine that doesn't taste like the devil is no good.” Doctor Ben-laughed. “I gave :him’ gom for a sore throat am mn medjeine that have real curative qualities*but Percy brought back.

What worried me, though, was wasting Grandmother's medicine, since: L:loved her like all git-out.” “Go»to it,” said Doctor Ben. “Percy seldom pays his bills, any- way, and since there’s nothing seriously wrong with him, we might as well haye our fun.” He picked up his old slouch hat. “You take the car. I can walk to see the folkt who're expecting me, or have Mose hitch up the horse and buggy.” Warren watched the tall, straight, white-haired figure cross the room. “One of these days, Doc,” he said, “I want to make my calls with. the horse and buggy. Do you mind?” “Of course not!” said Doctor Ben. “But what in blazes does a young doctor like you want with that sort of transportation?” “Oh, I just like the horse and buggy atmosphere,” said Warren. “IT used to ride around with my grandfather when he drove out to see Phen He used to let me_hof#'the reins. The horse was white’ and slow, but he knew everyone. of Grandfather's pa- tients, or where they lived, rather. He also knew when there was an emergency, like the time when Mrs. Whiteside had her triplets. He went so fast then, it was prac- tically a runaway. Grandfather Said afterwards it was a wonder he didn’t land on his head in a field someplace.” “My horse is like that, too,” said'! Dector Ben. “Automobiles are. all right, I reckon. But. they don’t have under their hoods what horses ,haye inside theif heads.” Hé‘peathed for his small black bag. “I won’t be gone long, boy.” “What a grand old man,” War- ren said under his breath. Then he pocketed the list Doctor Ben had given him, picked up his own small black bag, and went out. He got into Doctor Ben’s seven-year- old car and drove off down Main Street. Peter came limping out ot a grocery store. “Hi, there, Doctor Warren!” he called. “May I thumb a ride?” “Sure!” said Warren. He stopped the car. “Hop in. I’m go- ing right by your house on my way to call on Polly’s Aunt Su- san.” Peter’s Worry PEreR took his place beside Warren. “Is Aunt Susan sick?” he asked. “Oh, she’s got a ‘misery’ in her tummy,” Warren said. “Gee, is that all!” “You sound disappointed. Don’t tell me you want Aunt Susan to . | have something really serious?” “OH, no, sir—nothing like that,” said Peter. “Only—well, you see, Doctor Warren, just as long as Aunt Susan goes on having things wrong with her, like her stomach miseries, Polly won't marry Da- vid.” I see,” said Warren, “And you at her to marry David. Is that seed “Well, so long’s he’s got to marry somebody—” Peter looked up into Warren's face. “Listen, Doctor Warren,” he went on. “Do you think me coming to live with Cousin David like I did has kept {him from marrying Polly?” “No, Peter, I don’t. David’s got sense; enough to know it takes money for a man to marry. All he and Polly are doing is waiting un- | til they have a little more.” “But maybe if I wasn’t living with Cousin David, maybe if he didn’t have to feed and clothe me, he would have more money, and he and Polly could get married right now.” “Nonsense!” Warren said. “Get | such ideas out of your head. When |David and I get the old Inn to | paying, everybody can get mar- ried.” “Meaning you, too?” “Maybe—” Warren thought of Margo, of her determination to go away Where it was gay and color- ful.;“@hat remains to be seen.” He stopped the car in front ef the Wiley cottage. “Here’s where you get out, youngster.” Peter, climbed down. do,.we ,.go swimmin, asked. “You and and me?” “I don’t know,” Warren told him. “We're bath pretty busy nowadays, David and I. But we'll see. So long, Peter. I've got to talk tummy to Aunt Susan now!” “Tomorrow?” Said Peter. “Cou- sin David is off after lunch. Can | we three swim then?” ‘Perhaps. Ask David yourself.” Warren waved to the boy, and drove on down to the Jenkins cottage. ... Peter did ask David, and David said it was all right. He would be through around one o'clock. “You fix up some sandwiches,” | he said, “and be all ready to go.
