VVNU Service TUK luiur was close to midnight when Georgie Blake turned the corner ot the street where Mabel i'orter lived. Georgie walked as one m a trance, Ms ukulele lucked securely uuder his artu. Mabel's house was in darkness. Her bedroom window raced the si reel and was close to the nrepiuce chimney. it was Georgie's plau to stand In the shudow ot Hie chimney aud pour forth nls heart. He knelt outside the hedge that bordered the lawn ann was startled to see a figure looming in Ills chosen spot. Sud denly the still night air was broken by the melodious tones ot an alto saxophone. "Tootles Walsh!" Georgie growled. "Why—" "Tootles could play a suxophone and he did a commendable piece of work on the "Blue Danube.” Mabel’s golden head appeared at the win dow sill aud her arm gleamed mo mentarily In the moonlight. A tlower drowned Into Tootles’ nnxlous hand. Mabel and Tootles began to whis per. Ueorgie. l*i his eagerness to hear them, crept further along be hind the hedge. His hnud touched something that began to squash, an unidentified garden product lost from a grocer's wagon many days previous. Tootles moved carelessly into the moonlight, his face uplifted to catch Mabel’s slightest word. A dark object sped swiftly across the face of the moon and descended with nccuracy upon his head. At this precise moment the awful figure of Mabel’s father charged around the corner of the house. Too tles, letting out another yelp, scut tled around the opposite corner and could be heard clanking over the back fence. While Georgle, no less startled and upset by Mr. Porter’s stark avenging figure, leaped out to the middle of the street and away. Georgle expected that he had heard the last of the troubadour incident, but he soon learned oth erwise. He fouinj It was difficult to make a date with Mabel. Tootles Walsh was the lucky boy. No, Ma bel didn’t know when she could give Ueorgie a date. In fact, she was rather choice of her company. People who threw over ripe toma toes at unsuspecting persons were not her kind, thank you.” "You’re welcome,” Ueorgie re joined shortly. "What is your kind?” he demanded. “The Intelligentsia,” Mabel an swered haughtily. “That must be Tootles and his bunch,” Georgle snapped. “I sup pose they’re smarter’n garage me chanics 1” "Well, they don’t throw vegetables at people!” One Sunday morning the pastor announced that on the coming Wednesday evening at eight o’clock sharp the Ladies’ Aid would hold its annual tee cream social. Music would be furnished by Mr. Fred erick Walsh, accompanied at the piano by Miss Mnbel Porter. Georgle saw here and there the nodding heads and the knowing glances. Tootles and Mabel. They were a dear pair. Georgle telt 111. . . The Glue Danube, tne pastor said, finishing his announce ment. A hush settled over the au dience. Tootles stepped to the front of the platform. He nodded confi dently to Mabel and set his lips to the saxophone. He blew. “Moo-oo 1" blurted the instrument nasally. Tootles looked surprised. He snapped the stops and nodded again. “Moo-hoo!” It sounded so funny people had to laugh. Georgle hugged himself when somebody yelled, “Give that calf more rope!” Tootles turned a hrlck red. He seemed to wilt under the merciless storm of laughter. Then he peered into the bell of the saxophone. He thrust In his hand and pulled out a long chain of frankfurters. He grinned sheepishly and mumbled something about the horn of plenty. The audience thought it was an act, and after Mabel and Tootles finished their repertoire It crowded about the platform to congratulate them. Georgle was not there. Some how luck was not with him in re gard to Tootles Walsh. He hurried out to the church lawn and went i directly to a sjiot in the hedge j where he had hidden his ukulele. J Tucking it under Ills arm he startPd up the lonely street. The cllck-cllckety-elick of high heels on the cement walk behind j him made George turn. If was Ma- j bet. She was coming to accuse him no doubt oi putting those frunkfurt- j ers in Tootles’ horn. Lie started to I hurry, but she cuught up with him. "Georgle.” "Uh-hub?” “You mad with me, Georgle?” “M-oo.” “I’m sorry that snob Tootles played so well.” "What!” Georgle stopped ab * iptly. “1 stuffed his old horn full j of frankfurters,” Mabel confessed. "He's stupid,” she added furiously, ! "Intelligentsia! Fiddlesticks!” "Amen,” Georgle said solemnly. | He began to pick dreamily on the uknlele strings. Mabel hummed the tune, a simple lilting tune that aeerned to blend perfectly with the young summers night that sur rounded them.
