Now, I've known Art Worley all my life, ever since we ! used to puil each other's Lair and steal . cookies together, and of all the dare- devll, reckless boys I ever knew, he was the worst. He was always get- ! ting drenched in rainstorms, upset in lakes, sunstruck and mangled in acci- dents, and as his mother was one of those comfortable, placid women with a divine faith in the nine lives of cats and boys she never paid any atten- tion to his mishaps. He grew up as tough as a hickory and able to thrive on a diet of nalls. “That is why Grace's conduct first took away my breath and then in- turiated me. ‘Darling,’ she would say anxiously to Art at the breakfast ta- ble, pausing suddenly as the awful thought smote her. ‘I forgot to lay out your heavier underwear for you, and there's quite a chill wind today! I just know you'll take your death of cold! Promise me that you'll change ! at once—I should never forgive myself ' it you got cold in your head through my horrid carelessness!’ i “And Art Worley, before my very eyes, would gaze at her fatuously and frown a trifle with worry and then ' would agree that his precious health demanded the next heaviest welght. He would shiver a trifle, too, and say ' that the wind did feel cold. i “That would start Helen. ‘Harry,’ she would murmur to her husband, ‘do you feel the cold, too? Now, don't be | foolishly brave and say no when you're really suffering! You know you said ' last night that you had a pain in your ; shoulder! I just knew you shouldn’t have brought in those great heavy . armfuls of stovewood! You tax your strength too much!’ { “Yet this same Harry Horan took all'' the athletic honors at college. He re- ; sembles a glant of prehistoric days in size. Yet Harry, instead of howling in derision, would look seriously and ' would tell Helen that he supposed he ! was foolish and that he must be more | careful! | “Then Grace would capture me as I | started for a walk and would pour her troubles into my ear. It seemed that Art had not eaten more than two spoontuls of his breakfast food that | morning, and did I think he was. going * to be ill? “Then I would brutally say that Art Worley looked as solid and tough and: lasting as the big oak tree out in front | she would indignantly retort that I had. no heart and didn't appreciate the real.
