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.
