Olpen-Cotter 613 Franklin Street TAMPA A CASE OF REACTION By JEROME FOLEY, “Were you sick yesterday? asked the tall commuter as his neighbor set- ted into his accustomed seat in the smoker, “Well,” said the neighbor as he sat down rather carefully and drew out bis pipe, “I wasn't rcally sick. I had what my grandfather used to call ‘a crick in my back,’ but it was an oblig- ing ‘crick’ and disappeared about 10 o'clock. “And then,” said the tall com- muter, “you just hung around all day.” | “No, I didn't; I really had a fine day,” returned the exnvalld, “I' don't remember having felt as satis- fied with myself in a long time as I | did last night. It was a pure case of virtue having its own reward, too! ‘did something for somebody else.’” “You talk like the hero of a Rollo book,” said the tall commuter, “and if | you keep it up I'm going In the next | car.” | His hearer grinned. “On the level, | I had a bully time. 1 gave my little | girl & present—a present there was no reason she should have got.” “You don't have to have a reason to give a child a present,” grumbled the tall commuter, “The child herselt is reason enough.” “Well—perhaps—" assented the ! other, “but nevertheless nine people out of ten have a reason for giving even a child a present. It is Christ- mas or it is Easter, or it is the child’s birthday, or the child has been sick and you give it a present because it was decent enough to get well and not blight your remaining days by dy- ing on you. Any of these are legiti- mate reasons for giving children pres- ents, but I didn't resort to any of them. “If your little girl got as much out of the present, as you seem to have done, she s lucky,” said the tall com- muter, “It was this way,” said the bearer of gifts. “Her doll fell and fractured its face beyond hope of recognition. It had been a handsome doll in its day, One of Santa's choices prod. ucts, and the howl Hope sent up as she gazed on the fragments of its 8mug waxen face would curdle your blood. Now the usual mode of pro- cedure when a little girl has been be- reft of a really handsome doll is to tell her how soon it will be Christ- mas, or that her birthday is the fif- teenth of the month. My wife did both.” “Did she bite?" asked the tall com- muter. “Not 80 you could notice it,” said his friend, “and then [ had my inspira- tion, I went right down to the village and bought her the most stylish thing in wax you ever laid your eyes on, and I hadn‘t waited for Christn M\l MAMA makes the “beste est” bread, cakes and pies you ever did see, and she uses White Clover Flour ‘cause she says it is more bete ter than mos” any other Houfee an’ | guess my mama knows, Satistaction guarantecd.

No other doll ever got the reception accorded this one, I wouldn't have missed buy- ing it for a farm. Well, we're in the station.” “So we are,” agreed the other, “Say I guess I'll bring my boy home a pair of ball-bearing roller skates tonight instead of waiting for his birthday.
