You've missed me, haven't you?” “No one,” said I, “whom I have ever known knows as well as you do how to space properly belt buckles, semi-colons, hotel guests, and hair pins, But you've been away, I saw a package of peppermint pepsin in your place the other day “I was going to tell you about it.” said Mise Batea, “if you hadn't interupted ma “Of course, you know about Mag | sie Brown, who stops here. Well, she’s worth $40,000,000, She lives*in | Jersey in a ten-doliar flat. She's al- ways got more cash on hand than half a dozen business candidates for vice president. I don't know whether she carries it in her stocking or not, but I know she’s mighty popular down in the part of the town where they worship the golden calf. “Well, about two weeks ago, Mrs. Brown stops at the door and rub bers at me for ten minutes. I'm sitting with my side to her, striking off some manifold copies of a cop permine proposition for a nice oid man from Tonopah. But I always see everything all around me, When I'm hard at work I can see things thru my side combs, and I can leave one button unbuttoned in the back of my shirtwaist and see who's be hind me. I didn’t look around, be- cause I make from week, and I didn’t have to. “That evening at time she sends for me to come up to her apartment. I expected to have to typewrite about 2,000 words of notes-of-hand, Hens, and but I went. Well, Man, I was cer tainly surprised. Old Maggie Brown had turned human. “Child, says she, ‘you're the most beautiful creature I ever naw in my life. I want you to quit your work and come and live with me, I've no kith or kin,’ says she, ‘ex- cept a husband and a son or two, and I hold no communication with any of ‘em. They're extravagant burdens on a hard-working woman. I want you to be a daughter to me. They say I'm stingy and mean, and my own cooking and washing. It's a lie,’ she goes on. ‘I put my wash ing out, except . the and stockings and petticoats and collars, and light stuff like that. I've got forty milion dollars in cash and stocks and bonds that are as {negotiable as Standard Oil, pre ferred, at a church fair, I'm a lone ship. You're the most beautiful human being I ever saw,’ says she. ‘Will you come and live with me? I'l show ‘em whether I can spend money or not,’ she says. “Well, Man, what would you have done? Of course, I fell to It, And, to tell you the truth, I began to like old Maggie, It wasn't all on ac count of the forty millions and what she could do for me. 1 was kind of lonesome in the world, too, Every body's got to have somebody they can explain to about the pain in| their left shoulder, and how fast patentleather shoes wear out when they begin to crack talk about such things to meet in ho | just such o | “So I gave up my fob in the hotel and went with Mrs. Brown. I cer tainly seemed to have a mash on her. She'd look at me for half an | hour at a time when I was sitting, | reading, or looking at the maga- | zines. “One time I says to her: ‘Do 1 remind you of some deceased rela tive or friend of your childhood, Mrs, Brown? I've noticed you give me @ pretty good optical inspection from time to time.’ “You have a face, actly like & dear friend of min best friend I ever had. But I like you for’ yourself, child, too,’ she en Fou ling for Then we moved to—where ao you think?—no; guess again right—the Hotel Bonton.

She had on a new Diack silk dreas with 80 much jerte on it that it sounded exactly like @ hailstorm I |heard once when I was staying all | night with a girl that lived in a top- | floor studio. “On the left of me wags something that talked like a banker, and on my right was a young fellow who said he was a newspaper artist.

We had to squeeze our way | thru a mob of reporters all the way |thru: the halls. ‘That's one of the | things money does for you.

We went to a rooming |house on the lowest West Side. She rented one room that had water on the floor below and light on the floor above. After we got moved all you could see inthe room was | about $1,500 worth of new swell dresses and a one-burner gaa stove. “Well, Mr. Man, three days of that Nght housekeeping was plenty for me. Aunt Maggie was affectionate as ever. She'd hardly let me out of her sight, But let me tell you. She was hedger from. Hedgersville, Hedger county. Seventy-five cents a day was the limit she set.
